The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[burrito]

Yeah, the car weighs in around 600kg - that coupled with the bikes original gearing (very long first gear (compared to a car), quite close ratios), it really struggles to get going. There's really not much torque, and obviously uses the revs to get the power. The electric motor helps normal driving at lower revs, and just adds to the torque curve throughout in the racey-er mode, meaning it brings power up a fair chunk (50bhp if i remember correctly, bringing the 170bhp (at the wheel) up to 220bhp).

Yeah that's understandable. And the long first gear is because outside of a track you don't get past 2nd at legal speeds so 1st has to do a large range of speeds on the street.

I'd expect it weighs more than 2x what the Beamer does. Twice the wheels, brakes, has a full canopy plus aero package. Would think the electrics would help a lot with low end torque.

If it was 400kg, a 999c engine wouldn't struggle that much. 180HP at the wheel makes it just under 0.5P/W and litre bikes don't struggle that much for torque (with more appropriate gearing of course) And more appropriate gearing is a must to be honest, as explained in my previous post.

But it's fictional and I like bikes, sorry for asking a question about the engine integration for the interesting concept.

That's no problem I'll be updating my beta test download tomorrow, I'll send you a link, see what you think.

Last couple of pics before I go - always enjoy seeing the bare chassis!

(rear uprights are just the fronts mirrored, they'll get adjusted to suit soon).

Hey everyone, latecomer from AC forums, all that stuff happened while I was busy doing other things

Finally jumping in to do some car stuff, will be helping a modding team with a couple of cars for their main project, but will also be doing this as a personal thing:

Will start a thread once its properly under way

Cheers,

No sounds yet, you offering? Just using the F138 for now, its pretty much the only thing that revs over 14k.

Should i keep doing the normal bumpers ? like the standart e36 coupe ?

 

[NightEye87]

Are you going for the M3 Coupe?

Such a lovely body kit.

So yes, do the M3 bumpers and skirts

I was thinking of trying to adapt some RS Spyder liveries to the 919 but holy crap the mapping on this thing is wacky. Maybe I'll do them for the GT1-98 instead, even though it wouldn't fit as well.

Out of interest, could you post a screenshot?

It's space-efficient, sure, but... yeah.

The wireframe would be nice to have! Just in case for some skinning-action.

dont worry, its one of the good russians(its a shame that i have to say that). He made the Peugeot 504 a while back.

Anybody recognize the yellow logo on the rear bumper? I can't find any clearer pictures.

Looks like it says sebring

Yeah it is you can tell by the first letter. Just invert the colours

Anyone know what might cause the normals to be flipped in the KsEditor?

It seems both my rear calipers normals are flipped after importing into the editor (fronts are fine), but they are all good in 3ds max?

I double checked them in 3ds, but no matter what I do they import flipped?
