Caterham Academy 2020 1.5

Login or Register an account to download this content
A partly remade version of the model, mostly optimized for i hope better performance. (less objects, better LODs, some materials improved etc.)

Thanks to the few beta testers ;)

Physics are the same than before.
There might be some tweaks to make it 2.0 but otherwise it's 99% final and approved by several real life Academy racers :)

LHD is LOST in translation i'm afraid. Due to, too much work for not much.
But... it's a new car folder, you may remove the old one. Or collect them all like pokemons.

The skin template is changed as i improved the mapping (template in PSD in _tool folder in the archive)

420R to follow this week.

NB: and probably hotfix to fix mistakes too :D
I'm not happy with how the rear 'Academy' sticker works (or doesn't) at the moment, so might change few dds in near future
- ONLINE COMPATIBLE with previous version -
so no worries if the server still runs the Academy 0.93
it's just a visual update.

Just a quick tweak on the material of the body paint. (will look the same as the 420R)
and matching said paint between LODs, as well as LHD / RHD
(one more skin bonus, meanwhile i sort all of the season 2020, should upload them soonish here : https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/caterham-academy-2017-skins.20545/ )

No plan on editing the physics.
For a start, all the actual racing drivers didn't complain about it :D
And then, I still don't have the Max files anymore to update anything easily anyways
So why isn't it 1.0 then ?? I wouldn't know anymore...
  • physic is untouched
  • less objects! in all the LOD (pain to do ...) - for hopefully better performance
  • momo on the steering is now part of the mesh, preventing from clipping from distance and on large tracks
  • same clipping issue solved with rear fog light
  • dash_cam fixed for LHD
  • flying steering should be gone as well (dummy place was wrong)
  • & don't forget the skins ;) https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/caterham-academy-2017-skins.20545/
