Yeah at slow speed the car feels indeed sluggish. The suspensions with base setup are really soft but seem quite stiff. I am experimenting now with other setups.
Actually i made the car almost from scratch (just took the rac as base ) but changed it completely using blueprints and real specs (at least what i found with help of other users as well).
I think it's very difficult to reproduce race cars since there is very few spec data to be found.
I think as well, considering the game physics, road cars are rendered quite well.
If you can do it, let's keep a convertible version too.
Because we only have the MRT & UFR as convertibles.
And in VR, the convertibles give us a nice view of the race and the track.
finally i have found another detailed 3d model for the car! It's a bit highpoly but it has detailed interior...half of the car only and is 120k polygons
I am just going to make for now the open version.
Please, before you put time into this, make sure the model was offered on the correct license and the person who uploaded it genuinely has the right to offer that license for it. Models ripped from other games cannot be used. Even if "my friend made it because he is a professional modeller".
We are seeing far too many instances of copyright fraud. We have people lying to reviewers, people uploading models to external websites just temporarily then deleting them when the mod is selected, etc. It is actually to the point where LFS development is slowed because we have to spend so much time looking at licenses of the source models.
It may be advisable to post the link here on the public thread so community members can investigate the license and verify the source.
I think first of all, check this model with assetto corsa's miata. Because its looks very quite same with assetto model. i got MX-5 ND ( https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/mazda-mx-5-5fb3081e227240b6a98791b8edcc41ba ) from sketchfab and its unpublished. After we check polygons its same with Assetto Corsa model. don't let your efforts go in vain, mine was gone.
Do you know how can i check AC car mesh?
I digged a bit already, looks like i found a very similar model on another website, meshes are different but who knows what they did..may be some optimisation already.
I like this mod a lot! Even if my taste is biased owning a 1994 Miata. Does handle pretty good, but it acts pretty oddly under two circumstances.
1 is the flywheel weight (?) The car seems to rev up and down really quickly, definitely find a way to slow that down.*
2 is with an open differential. This may be the game rather than the car though but this also may be tied to the flywheel.
Some other suggestions include configurations like a hardtop, R-package aero, and pop-ups, and different wheels, something similar to the daisies or hollow spokes.
