(w.i.p) Lola B12/60 Rebellion Racing

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Pre release can be found here
==============================================================

What is new or changed in v0.99 (March 3rd 2015)?

- basic drag increased, so a little reduced top speed
- the range for the downforce is reduced, as it had too much of it
- new tire models for the slick and endurance tyre.
- improved some textures.
- added a new upgrade feature.

Enjoy!!

==============================================

What is new in version 0.95: (Jun 17th 2014)

- updated physics, car is softer, so more grip on the rear.
- centered the left rear brake disc.
- adjusted the tire change, refueling and driver swap times to more realistic ones.
- added new skins which were made by our member Joao Fernandes

Still to do:
- static shadows on the template
- driver animation
- camera positions
- head position of the driver and the head...

==============================================

Update v0.92 (Jun 5th 2014):

- update the engine, which should now have the performance of the Toyota 3.4L V8 RV8KLM.
- the standard eye point is more forward.
- added an ALT skin from Rebellion Racing, so not everyone needs to drive a black car.

===============================================
Info:
After the Pescarolo 2008 LMP car I started working on my next model.
Again a prototype, this time the LOLA B12/60 used by Rebellion Racing in the FIA WEC.

Here some screenies of the WIP:

The work on the cockpit is almost done. Got some problems with the COCKPIT instance whichh doesn't seem to work. If that is done/fixed . I need to make the rpm leds on the steering wheel work and finally the lights, so night driving is possible too.

I have done some work on the sounds inside the cockpit, but I could use some help on that.
If someone could help me with that that would be very much appriciated and you will be in the credits.
The sounds need to be from a Toyota 3.4L V8 RV8KLM.
If you can help me, please pm me.

I am thinking about releasing this as open source aswell as soon as it's released.

I read somewhere that the worn tyres are not retained as the data transfer is too great. I guess all the tyre wear data has to move from driver 1 PC to driver 2 PC.

Anyway. I too like the idea of tyre change taking more time to add the complexity of double stinting for pit stop advantage.

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

New versions to the tester...

Included:
- Improved physics (less stiff)
- Joao's skins
- Centered Rear Left Brake Disk
- Adjusted times for the fuel, tire and driver.

Hope to release an updated version soon.

Uninstall the older version before installing this new one.

For this version, thanx go out to:
@Joao Fernandes for these beautifull skins he created.
@freddy Schornstein for taking the time to test all these version I fired at him.
@Dennis Coufal for preparing the times for fuel, tires and driver.

Awesome job guys, thanx!

Enjoy!

I did a made video of my best hotlap with Version 0.95.

You dont see the big diffrence as much on the replay as rF2 cuts out some of the details, but you can see on the way I drive, that the car is working a lot better now. Much more composed, but not too grippy. You still need a sensetive right foot.

Top speed is 7kph higher at the moment and laptime 0,7 seconds faster than last year. Maybe there will be a bit more drag in the next version. I think it is pretty close

New Version:

Old Version:

Real LMP-1 (not as quick as a Rebellion 2013)

Small issue with the right front fender. Seems to be texture related?

I also wanted to ask, if there is any difference between the 3 updates?

Seems like a flipped poly. Will look at the model... No change of a quick update for just that though....

Any differences between the 3 version? You didn't / don't read the update release notes?

 

[panande]

Of course I did! But I meant the wing configurations ^^ Sorry if I was unclear with that
And what do the 4 power configs do? I cant really feel more wheelspin or a higher topspeed with all 4 settings

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Ahhhhh those updates.

This moment, nothing is different between the 3 choices of rear end physics wise. Just cosmetical at this moment.

The 4 power settings.....uh... good one... more fuel usage and a few more revs....? Will check it out.

 

[panande]

Could be driving related but on a lap with PS 4 I had a fuel c. of 1.50 liters per lap and with PS 1 I had a fuel c. of 1.53

There is your answer.

 

[panande]

Yay 1 km/h more topspeed! ^^

Please remember I'm working on the mesh I've fixed most of the mesh errors already Still some to go, then making the new template

You are absolutely right Sven . I didn't forgot about you. I just didn't wanted to put any pressure on you, so to speak

 

[Markus Jedlicka]

Very, very well done car!
With the latest update I'm now able to drive around Nords and Le Mans without loosing the rear in every corner , the car now handles just as I would expect it to!

I noticed one little issue with the cockpit though: When I go into instant replay, some parts of the cockpit disappear and I can see the tarmac when I regain the controll of the car.
(Sorry if the Problem has already been adressed)

Nice to hear some feedback regarding the physics. I hope for some more comments as I did most if the testing only on one track

With what kind of settings do you drive (low, mid, high, max)? And it only happens in replay?

No, in Replay everything's fine, but once replay has finished and I'm back in the cockpit I have this issue. It only resolve when I reload the track.
I play with high details on every setting.

Here are some pics, the first two are the "correct" ones, then I let the instant replay run and then it looks like in the last 2 pics:

Edit: It also happened in the previews versions, so it's not related to the last update.

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Hmmm... will need to check the gen file probably.
I will try to get the same results, I never had this before.

Thanx for posting the screenies.

 

[Joao Fernandes]

Almost done

 

[James Maskell]

I am getting the same problem that Markus is getting. Once i hit ESC in the car and go back to the pits i lose some parts of the interior.

Here are my screenshots:
