Cars The Need For Speed

[AccAkut]

I've used that "proper H pattern" on my S800 (is not THAT proper as you can't adjust it to a gated shifter for example), but then like mentioned above there's the lack of different hand animations so... I don't get why they've implemented that kind of h pattern if no animations can go with it.

could you share how to do that with us? (I'd love to use it on the Exo Rod)

I think a simple up-down shifting animation is sufficient most of the time. How often do you see the drivere shifting gears anyway? Only when driving in cockpit or when viewing the shifter specifically in a replay...

I get what you say of course, is no big deal anyway. I find it strange that they've implemented one feature but left out another that's all.

You mean the predefined H pattern? just use a SHIFT_HD dummy placed at the pivot point of the shifter lever and there you go.

no need for keyframes then? I assume DIR_ could be used to add more linkage?

All it does is add vibration and move it to the proper position based on the pivot center, if you link anything to it most likely will make weird movements... give it a try though
Check out my S800 see how it's done, very simple stuff, no need for keyframes at all. Works similar as the REAR_AXLE dummy.

I guess what I wanted to say is that perhaps AC devs thought the same thing... like investment in development is not worth the detail... It's like most racing games to date do not implement lights correctly -- bulbs are always on/off, never fading in/out

This looks to have changed in ACC based on the short teaser trailer

 

[AccAkut]

give it a try though .

Parented a LINK Empty with the linkage to the SHIFT_HD, DIR_LINK to the gearbox housing - ignored by AC

Parenting the DIR_LINK to the SHIFT_HD was interesting: All the empties were rotated in the direction of the SHIFT_HD - and motion was amplified by distance to it. Meaning at 50cm distance the shift linkage was wrecking in a half meter radius

In short it doesn't work

Well, you've tried

We've been talking with @arthur666 about doing the Highway Patrol car and decided it'll be the proper 1993 Mustang LX 5.0 as it was in the original game:

So that'll be next once I'm done with the Porsche, since Arthur already has a good set of physics for it.
@Phoenix77 there you go, finally we'll get a proper police car with a shotgun inside

 

[Dave_6]

Hell yes, never thought I'd see the day a Fox body Mustang would be in AC!

FWIW, 1993 was the last year of the Fox platform.

Oh, I've thought it was '94, anyway, just changed it to avoid confusions.

 

[RufGTI]

Dear god when I read 1994 I thought you would do the fourth generation Mustang

Maybe you are open for an extra project I would pay for, I'll leave it here

This page rates among the more epic ones in this thread even though there's no progress shots in it

Love that Stang, love it! And I'm a Corvette guy.

Well I was about to, but you beat me to it

Not a whole lot going on but got some of the blind spots figured out for the interior. Nothing's final yet, there are still some adjustments to do as I progress.

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

You know that I knew that you were gonna do that Lovely seats, was Recaro the supplier? Looks like an LS with built in headrest...

Hmm really not sure, didn't notice any branding on them at all.

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Just checked, they're sourced from Johnson Controls. They also built all Recaro seats for NA at the time, that's probably where the similarity comes from. Reminds me a lot of the Recaro seats in my E30, that square shape the big bolsters, shoulder support. Those must be a pleasure to sit in.

That's some serious digging you did there, how did you find out? interesting to know.

Back on the Viper, did most of the paneling work on the interior, still some fitting adjustments need to be done but it's getting there

Nice, you're making very fast progress!

I would probably smooth out those arches around the center console bit though...
