I have been trying out your mod since the update, and it is stellar! This is exactly what I've wanted since I saw Fernando drive this car at Abu Dhabi. Excellent work!

I've been waiting a LONG time for this! I'm glad you took the time to do this.

I will say, one big thing I've noticed is the how much the front ride height changes with these tires. The default front ride height with the original tires is 27mm, and with the mod, it drops to 5mm. Is this because the Pirelli's have a smaller radius compared to the original Michelin's? It affects the aero and weight balance pretty dramatically, making the car very pointy and unstable, especially in high speed corners. The car also bottoms out very quickly, even on very short straights. I have tried to counteract this with setup changes, but the highest I can get the front is 10mm with the sliders maxed out. I also tried adjusting the bumpstops, but you can only set them to a minimum of 15mm for the 3rd spring. I think I can change the setup files so that I can raise the car higher, but I'm not sure if it's that simple...

It seems like you're still working on tire physics, as evidenced by the difference in ideal pressures for the mediums compared to the softs and hards, and the very high ideal temperature range for the mediums, but I think this is a great start, and I'm loving it. I've even applied the mod to VRC's other mid-2000's F1 cars, although I noticed doing that replaces the tires along with the wheels lol. It's still a lot of fun trying Pirelli's on these older cars. Anyway, I appreciate the work you're putting into this, and I'll follow along with any progress you make. Thank you!

Thank you very much for your review, I am currently working to improve this mod more. your comment really helps me a lot to know what is happening and motivate me to continue in this

and hope this won't be the only car from the 2000s with new tires maybe something from the 90s or a current f1 might come with something special...

Love the mod. Thank you. One thing I noticed was the LOD still shows the grooved tyres from a distance? Until the car gets closer and then the slick tyres pop in. I'm not sure if that's anything you can control. The car looks a tad high but it handles okay.

thanks, I know about the LODs and I'm working on those errors and improvements regarding the visual height of the car

Better now, you can see the tyres from the wheel. Maybe soft tyres gain temperature too quickly? Amazing mod. Thanks

I still work on improving the physics of soft and hard compounds. and thanks for your review

Better now and glad that you've got rid of dark on the inside of the wheel. Also, not sure that increasing the power was a right way to make it faster, but anyway its good. And is there a way to make it not that high cause even if you put it on the 0 there would be A LOT of height to the ground.

not_frosh

well, the truth is that the power was not increased, just increased the grip of the tires based on the ferrari f138, it seems that it has more power but is not.
The height thing is something visual, the physicists still know that the car goes lower anyway I will try to improve that aspect to make it more realistic

Love the mod. But yeah tyres need some fix. In the Ferrari F2004 mod whenever I use my own car preview or use CM Showroom, it shows proper slick. Hopefully you can get the slicks to appear in CM Showroom.

not_frosh

Actually, that is something that would be difficult to solve in the short term, since the original model is encrypted, so the tires could not be loaded in the previews. In any case, I will try to do what I can.

Tyres are just black on the inside

not_frosh

thaks for u feedback, I am working to fix the error, which is strange because it was not there at the time I uploaded it but it also happened to me. I have the same error, in 1 to 2 days it will be solved
