Cars Caterham Academy 2020 1.5

Looks like the LOD B steering pivot is in the wrong place On the RHD one at least, not tried the other

It is LOD C on the RHD, seems like it is LOD C from the LHD

Came here to report that RHD steering wheels are floating around outside the car... but it looks like you are aware of that from the above.

Great car. Loving the simracingsystem.com series for the Sim-Force vs Sim Enthusiast Youtube series.

Thanks so much for such a great mod Ben you’re a legend! There’s something special about your Caterham mods. I ran a quick race at Nords in VR and recorded it. Can’t wait to race it online with some of you folk on RSR.

i remain strong not buying any VR thing, because at the moment i'm not so happy about the screen quality
but these videos onboard... damn!
I'm glad i modeled some details that seemed useless at the time

Thanks for sharing

No physics update yet?

 

[JDhindsight]

More than welcome Ben! I have triples too, but just love the immersion of VR.

Steering wheels are still floating outside the cockpit on the RHD cars from a few car lengths back. Just making sure this reported issue didn't fall through the cracks.

because i tend to forget stuff... so before i publish anything and mess up the guys that are doing a league with it, here is a pre-release in direct download to report bugs if you guys wanna give it a try

• PHYSIC IS THE SAME (sorry for shouting)
• less objects! in all the LOD (pain to do ...) - better performance ?
• momo on the steering is now part of the mesh, preventing from clipping in bigger terrain (@Phoenix77 )
• same clipping issue solved with rear fog light
• dash_cam fixed for LHD
• flying steering should be gone as well (dummy place was wrong)

I like it that you've adjusted you car for bigger terrains.. But 900km² isn't really that big I will be looking forward to driving your car too fast and testing out the rails soon

Slightly sad about that one. Most hilarious bug I've seen in a while when playing with a bunch of AI or online.

Hi! I love the Acadamy Car and the fun it provides. I love it that much that I will give it a try for a championship series at my league: http://www.netracingeurope.org, Discord invitation link https://discord.gg/zuzmuwx , Raceserver is up: NetracingEurope.org Caterham Academy. Facebook https://www.facebook.com/netracingeurope/ , Mumble server..., stracker statistics

I really would love to have a series with these cars

Cheers, Wolfgang

Just want to say I love the Caterhams and hope you will recover from your data loss, also I have a small bug report, I noticed the shock absorber on the right side of both versions of the academy 2017 isn't attached to the suspension on the lower end.

LOD_B on the rhd model has the steering_leather LP pivot where the steering_center LP would be on the lhd model

oh well that's new XD
thanks for the gif
will look into it...

I just downloaded the version in post #108, and the steering pivot issue with LOD_B is fixed. But now in the LOD_C model for the rhd car, the steering wheel is on the wrong side, and the model appears to switch to the lhd version, even thought he poly count isn't the same as the LOD_C for the lhd version. The texture mapping in the LOD_D is also a bit messed up.

alright so i fixed it then good to know because i don't have the max files of the car anymore... so fixing this would have been painful.

LOD D you will never be able to see more than few pixels on your screen, hence the messy mapping
as for LHD and RHD sharing the same LOD C, to save time, and again, you won't notice difference from so far

Ben O'Bro updated Caterham Academy 2017 with a new update entry:

visual fixes

• 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)

You know if you use this setting inside the SDK on logos and mesh what you find issues with clipping/Z Fighting ect ingame use this stops the issues

Hi guys, a bit off topic but thought i may be able to get a quick answer here, I have a mod car that sound's like the car is dragging (Scraping) on the ground.. any ideas on how to fix this or what i should change in the relevant ini.

Thanks...

Hi,
maybe its in the .bank audio itself,

one thing to do is go ingame and the audio settings turn the sound effects down somewhat
and if you plan to release it give some guidelines and best audio settings ect ect.
