Cars VRC 2009 Williams FW31 1.4

[Qazdar Karim]

By the way, what about the S1 version, shouldn't there be 6.6 seconds of KERS available? Right now it feels like less than 4 seconds.

Fixed

FC1 2009 Williams FW31 1.3.8

A bit too early for a new version, but i couldn't wait

The car will probably get totally new sounds for the 1.4 version

Changelog:

Graphics:

- Improved mirrors quality (finally! thanks matias).
- Added reflection to the wheel display.

Physics:

- Fixed KERS on the S1 version.
- Stiffer front heave spring.
- Reworked suspension damping (again !!).
- Some aero/tyres black magic to make the car "kerb friendly"

I have noticed that the S1 version accelerates slower than the original and not even KERS can help it.

+ its G forces are smaller by 0.5 making it corner at a maximun of 4.5 on full downforce while the original can go 5G+ and accelerates like it haves KERS in it with infinite charge.

This needs to be fixed.

 

[Giorgos Kostis]

Btw even though the time usage of the KERS is fixed, its power got smaller.

 

[Qazdar Karim]

The S1 version is not meant to be faster than the std version, the addition of KERS has some "disadvantages":

- The car is slightly heavier 618 kg vs 605.
- The weight balance is moved slightly to the rear 46% vs 46.5%.
- A bit more engine braking and engine inertia.

The fix for KERS was not really a "fix", it was a simple readjustement or energy deployment: instead of deploying the 400KJ in 4 secs it's readjusted to be deployed in 6.6sec

This said, both cars should have the same average pace

 

[Giorgos Kostis]

Still doesn't make any sense how the original accelerates faster than the S1 version with full KERS usage.

 

[Qazdar Karim]

Well, less KW from KERS and more engine inertia

Apparently this needs a new update

Just a quick recording of a test session, will do a higher quality preview audio wise when its completely done

Wow. Really good. Will you do the internals too?

Hello, will this mod get real helmet shape ?

 

[garyjpaterson]

Just downloaded this (bit late to the party... ), great work.

One thing I noticed was the normals are flipped on all the rims, so it looks a bit strange.

Yes, but not in the next update as it will take a very long time to redo all suits/gloves.

Awesome thank you so much.

Will the shadows on the car be fix ? The shadow cast by different parts of the car don't start at the base of them, there's always a few centimeters before the shadow is cast on this car... which I guess is a bug or something.

Also fixed

The original Formula Corsa team was working on a full 2009 conversion and seemed to have good progress. Will you guys continue that project too? As far as I know all models were ingame and "only" needed custom sounds or something.

True.

But we won't work on that mod, we want to shift our focus to VRC cars.

Ah okay. Thanks for clarifying.
