Super Touring 98 Mod

Hey andreas. Good work on the mod. Also I must commend you on having the general behaviour of the cars set up in the right direction.

Jordan said: "“The Laguna felt much more on a knife edge (compared to Cavalier). It was very different to drive; it darts around, certainly a lot more on cold tyres. I felt like I was on my back foot with it, because it’s hard work even to stay on the straight."

I felt the same in your mod. Much harder to drive than the others, which appears to be correct.

However, the (tire and inertia?) physics alone feel like they are lacking... too WTCC-like.. not sharp enough for a super tourer. Even the spring, ARB and bumper values are close to WTCC. I played with the Heritage Volvo S40 ST yesterday (the SimBin one), modded the .hdc file and lowered it to 3cm front and 5cm rear with up to 2 cm of rise and added 2cm packers... Feels perfect to me. It has that sharpness and grip in the turns but retains the weight and inertia.

Try it and see for yourself. If i was you, I'd base your physics off this one and the 850. (I lowered the S40 because its absurdly high and unstable, but 850 defaul physics are decent)

The suspension hasn't been tweaked for a long time. I'm very busy now, but I might have a look later :)

Hey SVP,

Make sure you colour the square on the bottom corner of the template the colour you want the wheels to be. I've circled it here for you. That should fix it!

thx 2 euro i have the wheels but just a small question just to understand how the wheels work...can i use two sets of wheels for one car (mondeo)? so that the original cars use the wheels Andreas used and one of my skins can use the 2nd set. is it as small as dropping the 2nd set dds files in to the mondeo folder?

You need the GMTs of the other wheels (from the Nissan Primera) and they would need to be repositioned in 3dsimed to fit the Mondeo.
In GTR2 you can assign a Genstring number for the wheel style but I don't think RACE07 uses this so I think you would need a separate .CAS file and the new wheels written into that.
