Cars Toyota Sera WIP

[garyjpaterson]

I politely inquired about stripping the interior of the GT and adding a roll cage, that was a no-go, so I think all other bets are off. We have so many more cars to do, time is better spent elsewhere.

Yeah that's a lot of work, basically modelling the interior from scratch, plus there is probably zero reference of a stripped out interior for a car like this.

There's an UK forum with a lot of reference for that matter, believe it or not, but yeah not going to spend that much time on a car I've already spent more than I was supposed to originally (the TRD and GT versions were added later, so 3 versions in total).

As far as racing goes, it makes very close times with the Audi TT Cup

I'm most interested in the stock road car. It's a great little oddball to have in AC and the mod looks superb.

It's out guys, at last!

There will be some of those, like I've mentioned in the release post. This model is almost a year old, polished a lot of techniques along the way, so it's not going to be up to today's standards.

Published templates, in case anyone wants to paint the widebody version, 2D and 3D:

The car is fantastic, in all three variants. I love how you can play with lift-off oversteer and catch it again with pushing the throttle on the road cars. The rattling exhaust on the GT is awesome too.
Some things I noticed:
- The standard version is missing the shift animations.
- The sounds from the road cars seem a bit over the top, especially on the standard version.
- Not a bug, but the GT version could use a different steering wheel imho. Like a MOMO racing wheel or something.

1) It's an automatic.
2) Sounds are what they are.
3) Already done.

Edit: To explain #1, this car was made originally for the owner of a real Sera. His is an automatic, so we did the auto because getting his RL car in game was the whole point. The other two are manuals because we had a bit more freedom with those.

Very impressed with the 3D model

Physics need tweaking. Initial comments on standard car. Too inclined to oversteer.

Gearing wrong.

Its apt that the car has been released. My wifes first every trackday is coming up and we're planning on using a standard manual Sera for it. So, Assetto Corsa will be used to give her a bit of a head start.

You're right, doublechecked my reference and it's for MY96, not 94. Already have those ratios saved in a backup file, so copy/paste and done.

If you'd like a custom setup that matches your wife's car, PM me.

Gear ratios didn't change AFAIK. I think the power and torque curves are wrong as well. My brother who has some Assetto Corsa modding experience (he assisted with the RSR F3 cars mod) is currently playing with the files. I'll share back with you with details.

 

[aphidgod]

Well, it says what it says. May well just be wrong. It's a Paseo chart that indicates it was also used in the Sera. Nevertheless, will go with yours.

Figured out the issue with the rear axle that was causing the lift-off oversteer, that'll be a big change.

Here is a little surprise, people..

Old thread bump!

Joseph's Sera featured on Regular Car Reviews:

And I'm being quoted as an "Argentinean programmer who scanned this car" (and for some reason BeamNG is being mentioned but this car never got out of AC).
