Fiat Panda 900 i.e. (1992) 1.2

I'm proud to present to you a car which I'm very fond. The Fiat Panda 900 car mod brings to you all the "panda" experience in Assetto Corsa. This car is very famous in Italy, in particular the first generation which was produced from 1980 to 2003.

It is a FWD car, with a 5-speed gearbox and a 45 bhp engine (903), designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and Aldo Mantovani.

What's in this mod:

• Realistic Fiat Panda 900 3D model based on the offical blueprints by Fiat
• Physics based on real data (thanks to the official garage manual)
• Animated front suspensions and wipers
• 10 different colors based on the real life Fiat Panda colors
• 6 extra fictional racing skins (MOMO and Davia skins are based on the Japanese Fiat Panda Cup)

What's next?

The car needs some extra work to be at his "full pontetial". In the next months I'll surely release some updates. This is my "to-do" list:

• Animated doors
• Dirt, scratches and damage textures
• Improved LODs
• More racing skins

This is also my first "built from scratch" mod

Making a mod from scratch is a very hard work, if you liked it and you want to offer me a beer (or an espresso)

INSTALLATION---------------------------------------------

1. Copy the "content" folder from the compressed downloaded file into your assetto corsa directory.

Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa

2. Enjoy it


--------TIPS-----------------------------------------------

1. Download Content Manager for a better experience not only with my mod but also with AC in general.

2. If you want to setup a "panda sunday cup" grid only with panda racing liveries I suggest you this setting in CM single player race menu:

a. Click on "Drive" (top-right) ---> "Single" (top-left) ---> "Quick"

b. Select "Race"

c. In the "candidates" cloumn make sure that only "Fiat Panda 900" is selected.

d. Click on the three coloumned dots icon at the left of the "+" icon, on the top-right of the "Candidates" coloumn

e. Check "true" every checkbox you see and set Car variety limit: off & Arrange way: Shuffle


-TEMPLATES----------------------------------------------- Be creative The best skins will be included in the future release of the mod!!! (Share them on RD so I can see them)

I've included also the livery templates to allow everyone to make their own personal skins on this "beauty". DO NOT REMOVE THE AO & BRIGHTNESS LEVELS (or your car will look like a cartoon box)

Here it is a little explaination about every template file:

1. car_paint.psd : Left & Right of the car (SAVE FILE FORMAT: PNG)

2. car_paint_2.psd : Top, Back and skirts (SAVE FILE FORMAT: PNG)

The next two files are not mandatory for the skin editing but I've included them if anyone want to change also the color of these parts (similarly to the MOMO & FIAT skins)

3. grey.psd : Front grille and other stuff... I suggest to use it only for the front grille colour.
I already set up a simple "color overlay" option to help you; you just need to pick up your desired color for the grille. (SAVE FILE FORMAT: DDS !!!!!!!!!)

4. parafanghi_post001_ao : front & rear bumpers color... if you desire to change the bumpers color. (SAVE FILE FORMAT: DDS)

If you want to make your own car plate all you need to do is to create a 605 x 137 PNG image (this will be your car plate image file) and save it as "targhe-italiane.png".
To see an example check the racing liveries in the "skins" folder. (remember to include also an empty bump map, as you can see in the racing skins folders! Or your car plate will have a bump map with the original car plate letters&numbers "AC 995 SL")
