F1-1955 MB W196 conversion.

[Navigator]

Hi guys,

For private use, I started to convert the W196 car. It's a nice car and I thought I'd give it a go and asked for permission to publish (when finished of course).
That is pending at the moment.......thats why I posted here; not public. If not my best thought, please replace.

Anyway; I asked Nikos as he drove these things if he would test. He told me to ask here on the forum too.
Here I am
I just put in in the game, made some .tgm files and that's not right in one go of course.
As this mod was a HoF; I would like to do justice to the original but I can't get rF1 working on my system.
But before I get to the flex-chassis, new engine model and such; I need to know if the base is good. Does it drive like it should? Than I can go on and maybe one day the could even be a fun event with it; you may never know.

Its a smal mod at the moment, 22mb.
Who is willing to give it a spin and give some thoughts of how it drives?

Please let me know and I send you a link.
Thanks in advance!


Changelog V0.23

Chassis: implemented new flex-chassis
Steering: new steering model with “double calculated angles” should give more feel and heavier steering
Sound: volume idle up, “roar” from 5000 rpm upwards should be more noticeable
added windrush, transmission sound and brake hiss
Engine: new engine model implemented; should give the “double torque high” from 5000 rpm up and peak at 6400/8100 rpm
Brakes: cold- or to hot brakes now should significantly lower the brake torque
Tires: not much change, just a bit for balance. Please try out the two compounds and never mind the “hard” or “soft” as they are just two different kinds with no regards to hardness

Note that there are no “Fixed” lines in here; conversion is in progress and I am working towards the point where you guys say: “that’s it!”.
