[REL] [Open Beta v0.9] International Formula Series 3

Haha just had to be done. As soon as i see it, Benny Hill came to mind :)

On topic. This car at Lime Rock is super refreshing, still work to be done but man it's so good to jump in a "MODERN" open wheeler in rF2 and not be spat off every metre of the track. This is what i have been crying out for, it feels like a race car, super darty and direct, brakes on a dime ( Maybe too much power and don't lock enough ) but still good and physics that seem to show glimpses of nice fidelity, feels a bit GSC already. But overall i love the grip, it's what rF2 needs, too many rF2 cars, modern anyway are too much like rF1 for me, this feels like a sim car from today. Howstons gave me a good feeling about rF2 and these do aswell now with regards to modern open wheelers. They do need refining though. Mores it felt horrible, far too bumpy.

Mazda though needs alot of work :D
 
hi'
thanks for this very nice mod ;)
everything is fine on quite all tracks, Mores too ;) (I have the map deactivated just set the hud in the trackmap plugin)
big pleasure!

I once saw a video with lot's of OW cars ( F-BMW, F3, F2 or some other - can't remember ) spinning out into grass in the same corner this way, so my first thought on this gif was - "this is sooo realistic" ;)

Thanks for the mod :)

First of all thanks Petros and all team who did this.
You should open new thread for each mod released now.
Do you that rss feed on your site? For updates and new releases?

Seems to be a texture problem with wheel my end using Mediafire link. As always model from Koen is top drawer, HUD on wheel also looking great. Best model thus far in rF2.

Thanks for the kind words, Nismo! As you know, I give all I got to bring the finest models :)

I'm superglad you're all enjoying this. I made the model quite some time ago, was quite missing in action when the mod was developed. But the screens that pop up here are mindblowing really - Great surprise of the level of quality we all reached :)

Pleasure mate, i told you ages ago when i was doing stuff with you guys that your model work was some of the best. If rF2 gets even 10% of the models you guys have then rF2 has a cool future in terms of mods.

Are you able to provide any additional info regarding the two tyre compounds, various engine specs and optimal braking temps? Or is this job for Mr Google...?

+1

Engine HP and torque maps (or at least a table with stats).

What's supposed to be the difference in the characteristics of the two tires? What temps do they work best at?

Basically everything you need to know (about chassis as well) if you were contemplating BUYING one of these to race yourself in a series. How to choose what options or which models.

The problem is, most of the information that we have acquired to do this mod, we can't release as it was given to us directly from a team. What i can tell you is the operating temperature of the brakes, which, is between 200-700c. The engines have between 210-218hp. The power curves used were given to us from the teams after they did dyno runs so again unless they agree to let it be put out we can't show much in that sense. You don't really get to choose what tires you use in a real series, as each one has their own supplier and being that the car models are standardized, its more of what your budget would be than what the car is.
 
--This is how you do it. It demands some Benny--

Great stuff. Throw in some half naked chicks running between the cars and my old dad sleeping on his lazyboy chair in front of the tele and I'm back home as a twelve year old boy laughing my arse off.

thanks!

Thanks again mate, works like a treat for me! :D

What a great mod already! Even with full detail this seems to be rather FPS-friendly for my outdated PC!

There seems to be some AI-issues with kerbs or ride height but i'm sure you guys will sort that as fast as you sorted the texture mix-up! The driving sensation is awesome, i love it! Had loads of fun today on Palm Beach and Nürburgring-GP! Very nice models too!

The only change i would like to suggest is the minimum steering lock of 20 degrees, could be some degrees less for me and the old 270° Momo Racing wheel!

Thanks for this release (especially for the release date beeing on German Unity Day, a legal holiday here)! :)

Cheers!

I am pretty sure that helmet template is avaliable within team. Unless you used something new that didn't come through my hands.

The one in the mod right now is the ISI helmet while the arai one is being touched up. We'll most likely release all the templates in one go once we have everything completely in.

We're waiting to release the templates when we have the helmet and driver suit templates done as well, that way we can release them all in one batch.

OK thanks

OK...I guess then generic info just as you have provided is good. The simplest question is whether you simulated anything differently in one tire vs. another (one is slightly higher grip but lower life or some such) or if they are just the same with different external labels. Lots of mods are graphics-based, so variations have no effect on the handling or capabilities of the cars. We just need to know if yours has actual different engines and tires, etc., even if the differences are minimal.

This will also avoid the forum screaming about how much better or worse component A is vs. B when in fact they are identical ;)

PS, the transmission and diff details would also be handy...including what type of hand or paddle shifter the real cars use.
