@ChiefWiggum Keep up the good work you are doing :)

The delay of the UI has become a running gag as some other "minor" bugs that can get fixed along the way but how can the selfadvertised sim with class leading physics still not have a proper clutch and drivetrain model ? Answer is simple, the community don`t support anybody who reminds S397 about missing clutch and drivetrain model. Why ?

Maniak has a point, didnt offended Chiefwiggum and the idea of using first Ferrari betas physics seems good

I hope this answers your question

That's not the problem, this guy wrote a ton of complete conspiracy theory about the physics on the drivingitalia forum and here in the precedent pages. Remember that is a work in progress and chief is preparing a HE mod I think. When you are polite and with good intentions, it is not difficult to ask good questions. Man, we are talking about a fucking free mod, as simple as that . There is no smoke without fire (french proverb)
 
ah ok, sry, Didn´t know about the background history, I really liked the idea of using first betas physics (dince they are as good as Manik says). I think i still have the file to test.

So what you are simply saying is that if you don`t like the mod don`t use it and nobody can have own opinion about the mod becourse it is f...... free mod ?

That’s the A8, correct?
 
Another beautiful car by ChiefWiggum!! Brabham, Ferrari, McLaren, Benetton, Lotus, Williams, Ligier, Tyrrell, Osella, Zakspeed, Lola-Haas, and now the Arrows BMW, wow!! You can be very proud with all of your cars, I really love them:D 1986 really needed it, thank you very much to you and all involved in them. (Ps: In my personal opinion, beautiful works like these cars... people like you deserve to be called a professional of this)
 
racing these in a league with simracingaustralia on sundays and its awesome with the league cars parity.

With selection of different engines is there anyway to have that in setup rather than having to go out and reselect cars?

Some of the sound files for the ferrari (the one i'm driving in series) is a bit disjointed when boost sound cuts in.
Also the manufacturer of the lotus rims is FONDMETAL.

Concept
The Zakspeed 861 was a single seat open wheel racing car, designed and built by the German Zakspeed team for the 1986 Formula One world championship. It was a development of the Zakspeed 841 used during the 1985 Formula One season. Changes were largely to reduce weight and complexity over its predecessor. In its second year in Formula One, the tiny Zakspeed team continued to be only competitor, other than the large factory teams of Ferrari and Renault, to design and build its own engines.

Chassis and suspension
The chassis was built around a carbon fibre/kevlar composite monocoque. The reduction in fuel tank size to 195 litres for the 1986 season allowed the car to be smaller, allowing better airflow to the rear wing. Despite the efforts to reduce weight, the car, although close to the 575 kg minimum weight limit for the formula, was still too heavy.[3] The car again appeared in the red-and-white corporate colours of West cigarettes, who remained as title sponsor.

The suspension was double wishbone all round, operating springs and dampers by pullrods.[3]The car started the season with conventional steel brakes, but Zakspeed experimented with carbon-carbon brakes from Monaco and raced them from Germany. The team continued its tyre supply contract from American firm Goodyear.

Despite the improvements over the 841, by the end of the year the chassis, whose concept dated back to 1983, was considered outdated. Technical director Helmut Barth commented that "It was too big and had too much drag".[4]

Engine and transmission
The Zakspeed designed 1.5 litre turbocharged engine shared its inline-4 layout with the Hart and BMW engines, of which by 1986 only the BMW (with the Benetton team) was still competitive (the Hart engine wasn't seen in F1 after the 1986 San Marino Grand Prix). Like both those engines, the Zakspeed was mounted semi-stressed in a spaceframe cradle. The year was dominated by the bespoke V6 engines of Honda and TAG-Porsche. During the 1985 season, the team had worked on developing their own electronic fuel injection system, while using a mechanical injection system in races. For the 1986 season, the team reached an agreement to use a low pressure Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection system, originally intended for Alfa Romeo's stillborn inline four turbo. This improved throttle response, drivability and fuel consumption. In race trim the engine was reported to exploit pressure of around 3.6 bar, roughly 3.6 times atmospheric pressure, which corresponded to about 850 bhp (634 kW; 862 PS). In qualifying boost could be raised as high as 4.5 bar, with correspondingly greater power (approximately 1,000 bhp (746 kW; 1,014 PS)).[4] These figures are comparable to that year's championship winning McLaren MP4/2-TAG/Porsche, which officially produced 850 bhp at 3.3 bar in race trim, although the TAG unit was far from the most powerful in Formula One that season (that title belonged to the special BMW qualifying engines which produced a reported 1,400 bhp (1,044 kW; 1,419 PS)).
