Cars [PHYSICS] 1937 Mercedes W125 Grand Prix data update 0.92

[Koeiss]

If @Nicecuppatea is into it, I could package the driver with this thing for the "final" update. 60s guy works well enough, but a 20s guy would probably be better.

There is also the option of the driver_skidlid model from Legion's Auto Union Type C Stromlinie, which has more 1930s style goggles. Either one would work well, just depends on who you can get approval from.

(A small cosmetic note, having "Mercedes" instead of "Mercedes-Benz" (like ks content uses) as the ui_car.json brand can cause 2 brands to be listed under CM)

Yeah... already fixed that.

BTW, did you know that the W125 with its biggest engine used 100 liters of fuel (ethanol-acetone) per 100 kilometers? Modern day roadcars use ~6-7 liters per 100 km. Quite a thirsty little thing that I-8 engine

Have to say I had no idea. I could imagine W125 would be quite thirsty but didn't know it was that much.

The fuel consumption of this mod seems to be quite a bit lower than that?

 

[aphidgod]

Not much less... if you run Monza or Avus (where you're flat out most of the time) you'll get around 1.2km/l IIRC.

Yep, feel free. I changed the object names so you need:

[HIDE_OBJECT_0]
NAME=DRIVER:GOGGLES
[HIDE_OBJECT_1]
NAME=DRIVER:FLYING_HELMET
[HIDE_OBJECT_2]
NAME=DRIVER:GEO_Driver_FACE

in driver3d.ini.

aphidgod submitted a new resource:

[PHYSICS] 1937 Mercedes W125 Grand Prix data update v0.8b - Now with Traction™!



Read more about this resource...

does this come with the car or is it just like a "Hot Fix"?

 

[aphidgod]

It's the latter. Car itself is not mine to distribute. Instructions to find it are there in the first post, though.

It's worth pointing out that @aphidgod did the original physics for this car, before the mod was moved to a different forum.

This isn't just some 'after-market reeboot' attempt

Nothing wrong with 'after-market reboot' attempts, if they are done right.

Right. I'm correcting my own failure here, not anyone else's.

I have encountered a crash after the latest update, is this something that is unique to me or has there been anyone else encountering this problem? I am have tried it on the Goodwood Hillclimb track, Bremgarten, and a few vanilla AC tracks and it is still doing it.

if it helps this is the error message

Error might have something to do with:

AC\caravatar.cpp (2188): CarAvatar::setVisible
AC\mirrortexturerenderer.cpp (115): MirrorTextureRenderer::render
AC\sim.cpp (2558): Sim::renderScene

AC\game.cpp (210): Game::run
AC\acs.cpp (477): wWinMain
f:\dd\vctools\crt\crtw32\dllstuff\crtexe.c (618): __tmainCRTStartup

I'm having the same exact problem with another car (google got me here), anyone knows how it gets fixed? @aphidgod maybe? I'm stuck with nothing useful on the internet at the moment.. HELP!

Thanks!
