Cars Matra MS650 Work in Progress

[CaptainLykaios]

Hey everyone. I've uploaded the Matra to my patreon page, essentially I'll be posting all updates there regarding every project I embark on, my aim is to use it as a blog post so I don't post so many WiP threads on here, and will try and keep as many downloads free as possible, and I don't expect anything to come from it.

superb achievement!. it is the first Matra as well made. I think the physical will also be very good. I can't test it right now, I'm waiting to get home. many thanks Captain Lykaios !!.

Hi. Looking really good. The only problem I had was in VR the windscreen had strange reflections in it so had to look above. Looking forward to the next build

Thanks for trying it out. If you could send an image of the reflections I'll try and put it into next sprint when I receive feedback.

Hi. I will try but not sure how to do it I’ve VR. I will see if it shows on flat screen.

hello CaptainLykaios.

this Matra MS650 is a very good surprise.
the 3D model is superb, with relatively few polygons (259962)
the sound is very pleasant.

impatiently, I tried the matra_ms650_longtail on the Spa circuit 1988 and on Autodrome Lago Maggiore.

power.lut - drivetrain.ini - final.rto - engine.ini seem to correspond to reality.

with great respect,I found the driving a little tricky.
also I tried with other tires ( F1_67 front and rear )
(conserving WIDTH;RADIUS;RIM_RADIUS in tyres.ini )

and I try whith FRONT=20000 ( [ARB] Front antiroll bar stifness ) in suspensions.ini
handling is better.

I found a problem in Autodrome Lago Maggiore:
the car takes off on the big descent.

also I replace existing files:
wing_body_AOA_CD.lut
wing_front_AOA_CL.lut
wing_rear_AOA_CD.lut
wing_rear_AOA_CL.lut
by those of the Alpha Romeo T33-2 Longtail (approximately similar profile)

and adding wing_controller_speed.lut
this time the car remains on the ground.

( It seems to me that the loading file BodyPaint.dds corresponds to an old uv map )
So I started having fun with skins
( only a little difficulty with the racing numbers on the rear and front )

While waiting for the short version, there is great times to spend with this car.

We are already dreaming of a 660-670 ( and 670 " tour de France " )
but it's a lot of work !

A big thank you for all this great work !

And thank you for the pointers in the setup. I'll pass those onto the client in charge of the physics.
I'll keep everyone updated on progress though I'll most likely be posting updates on my consolidated board here. https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/red-wolf-studios-projects.263440/#post-3709971
Alongside other projects I am working on. A lot of the Matra is dependant on the feedback from the commisioner, so hopefully we can have it ready soon.

Nice! Are you able to share those skins?

Hello, no problem, if Captain Lykaios agrees

Hello, no problem, if Captain Lykaios agrees

I already have the beta mod that Captain Lykaios released. I don't understand why you need approval to share your liveries?

OK, I have uploaded 3 skins Le Mans 69 for the Matra 650

• Ford MK2
• Ford MK4
• Chaparral 2F (with DRS wing)
• Lola T70 MK3 GT (1967 spec)

Thank you so much!

Good ! Where to find these skins? THANKS
EDIT: Found it Thanks !

 

[Johnnyversoz]

Fantastic job, Captain Lykaios !.
I also changed the wing_body_AOA_XX_lut and files wing_front(rear)_AOA_xx_lut files in AERO.INI, and the behavior was very good. (I didn't take those from the Alfa 33 but the result is the same). Well done again !
I'm looking forward to the short versions!
This is truly the first real MATRA in a car simulation. Good luck Captain Lykaios !! Many thanks !
Thanks also to Dragon_alfa_gt for its skins. they are very beautiful !

 

[Dragon_alfa_GT]

Travail fantastique, Capitaine Lykaios !.
J'ai également modifié les fichiers wing_body_AOA_XX_lut et les fichiers wing_front(rear)_AOA_xx_lut dans AERO.INI, et le comportement était très bon. (Je n'ai pas repris ceux de l'Alfa 33 mais le résultat est le même). Bravo encore !
J'attends avec impatience les versions courtes !
Il s'agit véritablement du premier véritable MATRA dans une simulation automobile. Bonne chance Capitaine Lykaios !! Merci beaucoup !
Merci également à Dragon_alfa_gt pour ses skins. Ils sont très beaux !

 

[Dragon_alfa_GT]

Totally agree

Goodmorning/Goodafternoon @CaptainLykaios is this car still in development? I'm asking because i have made a few laps and i would love to see this beauty complete! Let me know!
