Fredric Aasbø's Formula Drift Toyota Supra

[aadilf1]

Seriously thats the best Piece of art work i have ever seen on Racer it looks like Gran Turismo 5 the amount of detail you've put on that beast

 

[TurboLag]

Well, so far I use the stock supra sounds with a bit more volume and turbo noise. Sounds pretty good, but not as insane as Fredric's car (he basically runs a straight pipe...). Would be cool to actually sample his car, but as it is in Cali, that might be hard...

Have they dyno mapped the "new" setup already? I thought Bjørn said something about some alterations. If not, you could ask them to take sound samples when they do.. Anyhow, doesn't the yellow one sound "near enough" if the other one is out of reach?

But for the bumper cutout, isn't that more of a trapezoid? To me it looks a bit too square, but on the other hand it's been a while since I last saw pics of "Chucky"

Looks great anyway!

The dyno charts are from the previously yellow car, as that was the one I started to make. However, the setup will be similar, so it's close enough.

As for the bumper cutout, I'll look into it

hope there is a cg version of it with a high quality cockpit

 

[justasimfan]

Also is there any possibility of having the stock version of some1's supra updated with cg graphics and better cockpits ?

 

[fsr]

Well, the screenshots should show both the cg and the cockpit. It's still Some1's cockpit, but with new seats, dials, cage, and some other tweaks. Not really up to par with the best, but decent enough.

As for the stock version, that's something you must ask Some1 for. I'm not fixing the stock Supra, I'm just using his old mesh as a base to make a specific car...

 

[fsr]

I haven't had much time lately to finish this, but here's a short update.

I fixed the cutout, as it was indeed too square. I've also worked a bit on the window frame as it was very flat. Not sure if I'm happy with it though, so they might be redone completely once again. All while waiting for a physics update really. Not happy with the combined slip in the latest versions...

FSR a personal question, Is that u in the avatar?

Just cg shaders, not perfect but good enough. I believe Some1 has been working on a new version of the Supra (right?), so I'd wait for it

Lol you look like you wanna kill sum1 Cool car

Who doesn't

Nah, we just had some fun trying out studio lighting in the garage

Don't kill Some1, he's cool!

Ok, here's the deal. I keep going in circles, trying to get the tyre balance right. The problem seems to be related to combined slip. The more I spin the wheels, the more the car wants to straighten. I've managed to compensate a bit by setting a high optimal_slip value, as well as fine tuning the pacejka (basically ending up close to where I started). It can do pretty decent donuts and slide in a controlled way, but it still does weird stuff every now and then.

Anyway, the basic physics are pretty awesome, thanks to Cosmo°, and it drives very well in the latest beta's. To really feel the great handling, try some hotlaps with the stock engine, type=3 diff and comment out the rear optimal_slipangle.

There's still stuff to fix, but I figured I'd release the beta, as I could use some feedback and maybe even some help in getting it perfect. So here you go:

Known bugs/missing stuff:
- Defi dials not functional
- Tyre textures missing details
- Camera positions to be adjusted
- Weird glitch making the steering wheel appear as though there's a gap between polies, even though they're united

There's probably more, so feel free to add to the list

Hold stumt!

Don't kill Some1, he's cool!

Yeah, he's the reason I was able to recreate Fredrics car. Always nice to have a good base mesh. Saved me a lot of work

 

[KS95]

That's one hell of an awesome car dude, although the sounds bug me, but damn - that thing is impressive lol. I see what you mean about the handling, it just seems to grip to easily. But even still, it's great

 

[fsr]

Yeah, sounds are a bit flat, but making decent sounds require a lot of time and skill that I don't really have. If someone feel the urge to help out in that area, that would be awesome

Apologise to Fredric for me, I've put it into quite a few concrete barriers.
It's quite a handful to drive, esp with mouse control, I'll have to plug the wheel in & take it for a real drive.
Looks very good.
One qlog error :

[racer/7996] The torque curve needs to end at 0 torque (is now 500.00)

but I figured I'd release the beta, as I could use some feedback and maybe even some help in getting it perfect

The trick is knowing it'll NEVER be perfect in your own opinion, but being able to gauge when its 'not terrible' enough to release. An artist is his own worst judge & enemy

I don't think he cares But yeah, you really need a wheel to control those 700 ponies...

The torque curve does actually end at 0 as far as I can tell, but I'll look into it.

True. But allthough it can't be perfect, it can probably be better than it is right now. Just maybe not with the current versions of Racer

 

[Splashonda]

Well, I tried it and I can say that it is bloody awesome! I can catch slides at lunatic speeds and angles, it's brilliant!

All that's missing in my opinion are projected lights (I don't mind they not lighting up on the model, but the projection on the road is usefull), and maybe some texture tweaking on the interior, I believe that the Supra dash is more black than grey eheh

Other than that, it's a great car, congrats!
