[REL] BMW Sauber F1 2008

why do people insist on uploading stuff onto websites which force you to sign in or use your social media account just to download the file you're after?
 
Hey chappielike2009 (or someone else) is it possible to host it on Mega.co.nz? The site I'm pointed to, wants to install a strange rar file first.
 
Car looks great but is Undrivable... it has no 5th 6th or 7th gear in the setup and is very sluggish when accelerating
 
Thank You Chappielike2009! I really like this car. Great physics and no problems with gears here :D

However I have some graphical glitches:
- There is something wrong with the heat haze: from cockpit view, other cars are looking very blurry (only when there is heat haze involved)
- I cannot load the car in the showroom. When I press ALT-TAB with Windows, I can see at least three different loading errors. I think some graphical components can't be loaded.

Hopefully it is possible for you to look into this.

EDIT: After playing and doing some races a lot of AI don't finish, because of engine overheating problems. After digging into the engine file, I discovered the line:
LifetimeEngineRPM=(21400.2,100.4). The first figure basically means an optimum RPM of 21400, which can never be reached, and the second one is the difference in RPM where engine lifetime is halved. Without going too much into details now, I would kindly suggest to change the line to:
LifetimeEngineRPM=(17000,500)
Test it and if AI still overheat their engine, you can slightly increase the second value.

Please Ignore my comment i accidentally loaded a track setup from in the car options and it was fine when i used default setup. :)
 
Hey, I solved the over heating problem with changing the line "BoostEffects" in the engine file. The last figure is much too big :p
But still there is a problem with the AI. They are driving like they are having less power. On most tracks they barely reach 270 kph. Anyone else have this problem and/or a way to solve this? BTW, this is with AIStrenght on 100%.

Thanks Chappie for the car. The driving itselves is really cool with this car!

EDIT: found another minor graphical thing: the revs lights are working on Nick Heidfelds car. But on Robert Kubicas car, the lights aren't working

@ jakobdylan, yes I can share the version I have right now. But I think it is fair to ask chappielike2009 for his permission first.
@ chappielike2009. Yes, it still happens with v2008f. The AI simply don't reach 7th gear at all. Even with low downforce level. EDIT: it couldn't be that the AI cars are bottoming, right? I really have no clue what is causing this.

EDIT2: Yes, I do have mech failures on time scaled.

EDIT3: I use these settings right now in the engine file (solved the heating problems and lower the sluggish feeling of the engine):

EngineInertia=0.0518 //By lowering this one, the engine feels more twisty!!!!!
IdleRPMLogic=(3775, 4330)

BTW, revs lights on Kubicas car are working now :)
