Any aphidgod contributions I've missed?

[Billy Pilgrim]

I have been enjoying the Lola and the Jag XJ-13 recently. @aphidgod 's physics contributions are amazing.

Which other mods has @aphidgod contributed the physics to? I don't want to miss any.

Oh, and thanks, @aphidgod for your work. It is appreciated!

Wait 'til you try the D-Type

We should start a crowd fund to get this man a wheel! How he makes such great cars whilst using a game pad is beyond me

Are you familiar with the expression "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?"

You're not serious??? Are you?

He is serious. Aphidgod does not own a wheel. Just an Xbox One gamepad.

I guess that is the most unbiased way to do the physics?? Wow!!

There is a point to that, actually... I'd say maybe 20% of the time it's nice to not have a FFB signal in there confusing my perceptions of the car behavior. I've seen more than one thread over the years where someone complains about a car, which is fine, only to find the issue is with the FFB in the wheel. So it's a thing.

But the other 80% of the time I think it would probably be very helpful to have the wheel.

I think I got banned for saying something close to that??

Hmm... not touching that one.

Sorry about that.
I find driving in a sim much more complicated than any real car I have drove, raced or restored. Pretty straight forward and fun for the most part. No shortage of guys coming over to give tips and lend a hand but not the same kind of environment in the sim world at all. Sim driving is simular to restoring a car in the dark with guys trying to help that can't see while other guys stand around teasing you!
This feels about a hundred years in the future from when I was a kid!

Thank you very much for all your work @aphidgod, you are an outstanding member of the community.
Farewell, we do miss you.

I've just read in the AC forum that you decided to stop modding for AC.
As Rainer wrote: We do miss you.
Thank you very much for your brilliant works of art.
Wish you all the best of luck.
Although I do not know what had happened, I can understand your decision (reading a lot here and in other forums).
Thank you again for all you've done - for all the joy you brought to us.

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

What?
No more Aphidgod mods?
Bummer! That's a real pity for us.

Thanks for all your work.

I didn't spot any such thread on the AC forum... is it gone?

It was discussed in the massive social media thread on AC forums.

Damn such shame.

Other people are so easy to criticize and judge without every creating anything for the community.
Nobody knows everything not even the devs.
Sigh Its always small group of smart asses that ruin everything.

This small community of sim racers is built on people that are passionate about sim racing and will go to nth degree to get all the fine details.
They are not working for pay check or own anyone anything.

They do this because they love racing.

Damn, it's a pity that aphidgod's stopped modding! Does anyone know why?

Him working on physics was like a stamp of quality. I'd totally "get" his physics for every one of his contributions; everything would make perfect sense.

Ah, that's one of those threads that is so insanely long that you'd need to be a masochist to read it, yeah?

A great shame, indeed!

Aw shucks, guys.

Glad to hear you enjoy the cars. I think the list here is pretty complete aside from the NSX which I did some updating to, mostly just v10 Kunos-style tires and the changes necessary to represent a 1994 Acura version alongside the JDM pair.

There's also a couple of pay cars floating around: @A3DR's old Prelude, which seems to be unavailable currently, and the Miker Formula Junior car which you can get from @Sergio Loro along with his wonderful classic Zandvoort. (Which I still haven't bought, because I'm an idiot.)

I just drove your latest Subaru WRX 2007 and it feels and sounds very similar to my old 2006 STI. Thank you, I've been searching for a virtual replacement and now I have it.
