The online racing simulator
SLI GTR
Been working on this mod for a fair while and have been too lazy to start documenting up until now.

Concept:
- GTR Class Car
- Italian JGTC competitors as inspiration, namely the Diablo and F40
- Mass and Power restrictions target standard to class
- Other limitations such as fuel tank, turbo for smaller engines only, inertia multiplier and fuel capacity
spec'd to class regulations
- Keep tri count close to the base game cars for artistic consistency
- 3.5L NA V12

Note: To help with the process, I am using ripped models from LFS that have been ported to Blender as a reference and cannibalising parts from them for minor accessories.

Amazing mod ! This drives so nice with default set. And looks balanced with other GTR's.

Great job !
the only things that hold me to vote this, is the sound

tbf, when the engine sound are cranked more than 1.5 value, it makes the sound too cliping, quite uneasy to hear the engine sound, maybe if you could fix or reduce the clipping sounds, it would be great

Just a question, what are you referring to as 1.5? Are you increasing the exhaust volume? If that's the case I'm not sure why you would do that for, nor would I recommend cranking up the mod's noise settings. If you're referring to the master volume and engine sounds, I can ask Krunal to tweak it.
Current noise setup I believe uses a little clipping to result in the harsh v12 noise and we haven't tested if the master volume being cranked up produces more clipping.

Thank you, it was a fun tuning the car and setting it up the class. I had such a great time test driving the SLR I ended up getting carried away for hours.
Great job, a lot of very minor tweak to take it to that LFS GTR category, but over all very impressed!
-Engine sound is too loud, and could sound a bit more realistic comparing to small displacement V12
-Tire distribution and sizes are a bit wrong. Car has closer to 50/50 weight distribution and has more tire then Lillia GTR. And front tire is too small

Thank you.
Engine noise will be tweaked by Krunal in the next mod update.
In regards to tyres, I was unsure what to do with them so I copied the settings directly off the FZR despite the obvious weight distribution differences between the two cars. I'd like the mod to be as authentic to the settings used to create the other GTR class cars, hence brakes, and aero kit along with tweaks such as the way I had the engine setup done to be consistent with common features found among Scawen's cars. There aren't any mid-engine GTR cars available to borrow settings from so if you have a recommended tyre setup in particular I'd be glad to take it into consideration.
An update will be coming soon when LFS lets me, and it will introduce more performance tweaks. Particularly, a drop in torque in exchange for the same peak power higher in the rev range will be introduced due to queries regarding the authenticity of an engine of such capacity producing 490hp. This tweak will result in less wheel spin at low speeds, which should benefit most drivers.
