A few 12 lap sprints.

Car: Formula Agile (updated to Seanus tweaks)
Optimal tyre pressures are 27 front, 26 rear.

[doobs]

ooooooooooh.

[Joe]

ooooooooooh.

My thoughts exactly!

[Wally]

It's a fun little beastie. Do you want me to make it an option for next season? Or save it for the next?

You have to keep in mind that often a car can be fun to drive (like the Agile), but can lead to crappy racing (field too spread out, gaps too big, too many crashes), or a car can be "ordinary" to drive like the Octavia, but leads to closer pack racing.

We'll see how the fun run pans out.

..... or a car can be "ordinary" to drive like the Octavia, but leads to closer pack racing.....

I disagree with that.
Sure, it's close if you can guarantee no contact but if you're taken, out there's zero chance of catching up and you just hotlap by yourself......

Yes, it's a two-edged sword. Close pack racing is fun while it lasts, but if you "fall off", you can't catch up. Or you have a spread out field in a harder car and wait for the guy in front to make a mistake.

I should look at the stats sometime and see which car has given the closest racing overall.

good tip...

EMERGENCY UPDATE, FORMULA AGILE.


The Collider was 90^o out of wack so had to be fixed.


Added LR Cockpit while I was at it and some rudimentary LODS.
Resaved some Textures to lessen the load.


Collider now has Patented vertical sides so collisions are a lot kinder, even bump drafting is possible. YMMV.

[buellersdayoff]

Wheel slip/lock is constant in these as well

[Seanus]

The car itself has lock lights and they work as designed. Sounds like your software needs individual profiles for each car.

I'll have to check it could be fanalab, it was updated today, thanks

Does it need a data.acd update on the server?

[Seanus]

Unfortunately yes. The LODs are referenced in a file inside the data folder/acd.

[Wally]

Unfortunately yes. The LODs are referenced in a file inside the data folder/acd.

I updated the car locally and put the new data file on the server, but I get errors when I join the server:

I got an unexpected error offline with the update.
