Cars 1999 Nissan Primera BTCC 1.1

hmm, not sure what' happening
trying to update this, but once the file is uploaded and I hit save update, nothing happens .. strange?

is there limit how many files can I store here?

Love the car, but what are the chances of a template being released so we can make our own skins? Takes a long time to edit a current texture! But massive thumbs up for the car itself, brings back memories of Toca!

template has been released quite some time ago, but I will link it in the first post

small fixes and tweaks

fixes/tweaks of the previous release
2 biggest issue from previous release fixed

- fixing driver head visible in VR

additional tweaks
- reworked tire heating
- added active differential
- updating refresh on LCD display for time to be faster, keeping rest the same
- tweaks to physics ( mostly aero balance, more towards rear now, making the car more stable)

[Patrik Marek]

trying to work on the update,
doesn't go through, even if I try different archives, .. must be something stuck about this particular file on server

I would ask @Bram about it.

 

[Patrik Marek]

yeah, something with this thread, worked fine If I submitted it as new thread

http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/nissan-primera-btcc.139410/

let's see if @Bram can sort it out , but to me this looks like issue with server somehow

Thanks for the update Patrik, awesome car

So that last update is identical to the 07c reupload I assume?

 

[Patrik Marek]

correct, if you already downloaded the 07c reupload from the other thred, this file is exactly the same

Just wanted to thank you Patrik, for sharing your work. Fantastic car. Cheers mate!

'active differential' .. did the Primera have something really fancy or are you trying to emulate a torsen? Just curious

im not expert on physics, but these cars had super awesome front LSDs

It did. The exact nature of which is unclear however it was a viscous plate type LSD. Often referred to as a "trick diff" among the teams. It's behaviour was to almost pull the car around into corners when on the gas.

Pushing hard at Brands for a cheeky battle with @Ben Lee

And here is the actual hotlap

Brilliant fun/ Great car. great track (Thruxton) and aggressive pushy AI doing a pretty accurate impression of a field of BTCC drivers.

Thank you everyone.
