I'm still working on the next update guys. I'm feeling a bit like a case study for the dunning kruger effect after having to revise so many of my previous 'breakthroughs' - especially with the tyres haha, but I guess that's all part of it. I'm making sure my modding sessions are not too long, because I feel like I make the best work while thinking away from my computer and then implement them quicky, rather than having too much fun hotlaping and tweaking. The road surface and temperatures differences has made understanding the tyre changes a torturous ordeal at times. The next update will have the reverese engineered s397 tyre, with the vibration bug fixed and sized correctly for 1986. Almost all of the other 'realtime' tyres values are reverted other than the ones that are recalulated in the batch tester for the new size/shape. It's much better. I feel like this update will be another good step toward realism, ironing out some more values that were not great and made the cars more difficult to drive than they actually are. Getting the power down is not as hard irl - watch the Benetton qualifying around Adelaide on full boost with medium tyres and you will see that the back-end grips incredibly well under acceleration on a rubbered in track.
@doddynco - Continued thanks for your thoughtful efforts. Not easy what you are shooting for. Take your time.
Good luck @doddynco sounds like a challenge. I was a big fan of the released to date version, I’m sure it will only get better.
Hi, no big news or release but just to let you know that Doddy is hard at work on it and man, his job is fantastic!! The cars are behaving very realistically and it's so much fun to drive them. (At least, the ones that are finished) Keep the faith and stay tuned
Yeh there are some updates to engine sounds. Each engine has a different sound and that will continue.
Looking forward to the update, just took the Benetton for a spin around Monza ( and I mean a spin) was great, very challenging and rewarding. Great to see the project alive and getting the love it deserves. Can’t wait for the final update/s.
Sorry but no updates this month guys. I am quite busy at the moment with work but I have a solid plan to get this thing finished when I get back to it.
frankly disgraceful that free mods, made with the skin off the back of modders, have to get delayed by serious stuff...
This will be my number 1 mod when it's finished. Love the pure power of this era. Looking forward to a bigger grid of cars. Individual engine sounds will be great. Excellent work so far.
I downloaded the mod yesterday to test the cars already there. Very impressed with the car models. Only thing for me at the moment are the engine sounds as they need a little more as seem a little quiet but I noticed that the sounds are going to be updated. Apart from that, can't wait and hope to see a thundering Black Lotus......Yes Please
