V8 Supercars mod
« on: November 16, 2014, 11:01:08 PM »
I just came across this, havent tried it yet just dloading it. Quite likely a rushed conversion/rip and its an old model V8 not sure the year, it has the darn rollbar across the windscreen which I never understood why they were about the only series to have done this.

Oops just noticed stupid me thought this was a track, could an admin please move it to the mod section.  :-[

I did give it a go, the model is nice though its obviously a rip, there are no LOD's in the mod as running a full grid at baskerville drops my FPS but running 10 cars is ok, all proper mods I get no FPS hit with full fields in SP or MP on official or good mod tracks. The physics are pretty poor didnt run heaps of laps but the gear ratio's are so wrong I cant imagine anything else being very accurate. FFB way too strong needed to cut it by 50% to avoid massive clipping and this is with my in game FFB already at 60% so thats total 30% for this mod.

With the issues in the gearing its pretty poor to drive, grip wise I only tried softs but nothing like driving the real thing no front end grip. The rear has plenty of grip then just gives up at a certain point. Kind of like all poor rfactor mods have been physics wise but lets hope one of the proper teams or even kunos themselves get a proper v8 mod out. Id like some older series and the current series too as both are interesting to race and drive if done properly.

Larry Perkins started that, hence it being referred to as the 'Larry bar'.
It's nothing to do with safety, but everything to do with more torsional stiffness of the chassis. ;)

In this rare example it may have proved to be good safety feature for Lowndes.

Its actually one corner where it is very useful as its the same place most kangaroos have been hit in the history of Bathurst.

Found another one, just the Ford. Not sure if this is the same as the 1st one posted, cos I cant get that one to run on my install, but this feels quite good to me.

Then all we'd need is a laser scanned Bathurst and driver swaps. ;)
6 hour race anyone?
