Fun Run Feb 1 - TA2 @ Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
« on: January 25, 2022, 11:07:08 PM »
For the third and final season candidate, let's try Legion's Aussie TA2 [DOWNLOAD] at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park [DOWNLOAD].

Some 11 lap sprints.

New Master Link for the Aussie spec'ed TA2 (missing fonts included)


New folder names so as to not conflict with the donor mod, please delete any previous version.


Took the liberty and updated the server.

Shifter is H-pattern but you will not need to use the clutch, other than at the start of course.


Cars have identical physics. (barring any mistakes I've made)

I put my setup on stracker. I got a lot more rotation out of the car by softening the front and stiffening the rear.

these cars aren't  bad! I'd love to try a set up as all I've tried is diff ratios........what is stracker  :-\ ???

It's an app that lets you share setups, among other uses. I've uploaded my setup here.

UPDATE/PATCH - NON MANDATORY -


Main links updated to version 20220201


For those with the cars already you can save bandwidth with this PATCH.


Attached the rear swaybar as default and the front swaybar can also now be removed.
Doubled the available engine braking, this is also adjustable.
Set the Diff' to 70% locked which you can further lock by upping the preload.


Hope these changes improve rotation somewhat.


The real cars use a Detroit (un)Locker which AC can't simulate.
Other versions from around the world also use a Helical gear diff (Torsen) or a Spool, of which only the spool can be done in AC.

These were pretty awesome once I got my head around how to drive them. Thanks Wally for the set up and that plus the patch dramatically improved my driving experience. Beforehand the cars felt a little 'playstaionish' where I could just turn the wheel and mash the throttle, they felt like they needed another 200hp! NOW I'm trail braking, power sliding, opposite locking all over the place and they are rather challenging but still catchable. Plus with that V8 note I can let my inner bogan loose !!!

...let's try Legion's Aussie TA2...


That should read; let's try Seanus's GØD tier physics for the VRC TA2 carset

I’ve just been having a play with your updated mod for the TA-2 and it’s quite a noticeable change. All along I’ve been using the setup Wally posted and I found using that set up with the current version the tyres seemed far more lifelike. I found now that the tyres take a couple of laps to get temp and then over heat very quickly if the right foot is abused. I would liken this current update to be more like driving on a wet track until the tyres get temp and then it’s still very skatey into and through the corner it I don’t mind that as you’ve got to actually control the car rather than just point and shoot like a GT style car. Of the three versions I’ve driven I’d call this my favourite because it’s the most challenging to drive.
