A tutorial on how to make a LOD would be nice. I see there are many models with 2 LODs, a basic one, and an automatically created collision LOD, because of that many models look like boxes from a close distance and have a bad shadow. I also can't understand how to put my low poly model on a second LOD and make 3 LODs as it must be for a good mod.

Ill include a short video that goes more in detail about the LOD's. I think go over them in my HOW-TO guide video.

Couple new videos up to check out aswell!

Oh that is really weird haha. Ill change the allowed tire pressures, id recommend just not using 0 psi lol simple fix to this is to put air in your tires

Quote from NumberTwo :

This car needs road super and not slick tyres

I only allowed R4's as semi-slicks / aggressive race tires are commonly used when they race these cars on track or loop racing

Quote from loopingz :

Without splitting the mod and not much control on setups, people will run the early model with downforce and that's not cool. I know it is neat to keep it this way (with configuration) but I would prefer it much better by version according to their era.
Right now if I want to make a server with non aero F1 I have the gpl65 and the Tommy28. It would be nice having a exclusive p166.
Your car(s) is so nice it is ahead of the modding system. It is a family of nice cars!

I agree, thats next on the list to have a completely separate mod for 60s very non aero car

Quote from edoardo94 :

I have an idea. It is not that much, but may you create different standard setups per each aero kits? In this way maybe it is possible to choose kits with a setup that is as much "real" as possible. Unfortunately, I don't know much about car dynamic behaviour to set up by myself to correct this issue

Yea i can definitely make 4 default setups that reflect the cars aero package. Setups can be very personal depending on driver so I recommend tweaking them to make the car handling exactly how you would like it too.

Quote from BeNoM :

Absolutely wicked! Been making Wangan setups for mods, but it's nice to finally have a Wangan-built car. Wish it would stay public though.

Will probably go public in the future, still working on it right now. Gotta change out the Mk2’s for something more fitting too.

Quote from P V L :

May I ask why you publish this if its not usable for people ?

Dont think im quite finished with it yet, still some things i want to add and change.

Quote from HighSpeedGarage :

Thank you!
I really want to do exactly the working suspension, as on the standard F1 in the LFS. So you can see huge holes between the rear wheels - there should be a 3d suspension. I will do it soon!

Sweeeet that's exciting. Were testing it right now online to give you some feedback .

Running into a problem where at the lowest height setting the car is still not very low / has a lot of travel left so it clips through the fenders. Check "No springs test" and adjust your max up to set the max low the car can be ( sets the suspension bump stops )

Quote :

I had my doubts when I saw it's on linear suspension, HOWEVER
This feels alright! I do agree with Jake where it could only feel better on proper suspension.

I do notice also when I make a new drift setup from the existing one, the front suspension raises. I wanna slam it on its nuts but I can't when I make a new setup.

^ Basically what Popn said

Having a blast with the guys drifting it, the points listed above are the only issues really.
Other than that, great mod man.

Car feels great, love the different config options so far too. A 90s config would be sweet
The cars suspension feels good but i noticed you used linear suspension all around :/ would be cool to change that to MacPherson (pretty sure jzx81's run MacPherson struts)
Overall banger mod hyped to see it improve from here ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Car is finally uploaded! Feels great love the leaning driver haha. I noticed tho it says FWD i think its suppose to be rwd lol.
Super fun to race!

Quote from marcin338 :

but some of the people doesn't have that problem and they playing online with tanks.. so it's quite weird issue.



well still not fixed

Redownload the tank in the mod list and try again now.... think i might have it solved. Hopefully.

Quote from CozmicDragon :

DO NOT USE THIS MOD ONLINE, YOU WILL GET OOS!

Otherwise, very fun to smash up AI offline with this behemoth. LFS doesn't have to be serious all the time.

I believe the tank's massive curb weight is what causes the OOS errors, but I might be wrong.

The OOS error should be fixed! Uploaded an update to the mod and i loaded into online okay now. Let me know if you guys are still getting OOS issues.

Quote from Racon :

I love the 'fuse to average' and 'fuse to green' functions in points mode, that really helps balancing the workload between the modder and the gouraud

I thought 'subdivide' and/or 'subdivide radial' functions would be equally helpful for triangles mode, for those times you need just a tiny bit more control of the curves than you thought you would. I took some screenies of doing it manually.

They could delete the original triangles, make the new points at the average positions, make the new triangles with the same properties as the replaced one, and then select them.

If it could cope with multiple selections we could stack the operations too.

I really like this thought. Would make the modeler easier for creating smoother body's. I would think implementation wouldn't be extremely difficult.

Quote from el-pinocho :

The new update is in process, before Saturday we will be with a better management

Eager to drive it once its got some proper suspension! Everything else looks great!

COVER SCREENSHOT:

Steering rotation is very snappy, i had the same problem with my p166. When drifting my irl wheel turns less than 180 degrees when sliding so it wants to snap back straight. Body looks good tho and car sounds banger, tuning the suspension and some setup adjustments would be hugely beneficial. Keep up the good work Nipe

Quote from detail :

Great work! Minor issues: rear red lights don't turn on with headlights, and headlights seem dark even when on.

I noticed that too even though they were working as intended before i uploaded… ill check it out again!

Is LFS picking up that youre going full throttle? Intake restriction on the car? Maybe weight reduction? Clutch wear is something that could the case as well. Meh Setup & bad driving habits cause you to be slower than other racers?
