Why aren't we using the Vauxhall Vectra?

[Matt Clark]

Hi guys, was just wondered why none of the RD Servers use the vectra as it is a free add-on, Would be nice too add another car into the mix, or is there a specific reason its not included?

 

[Ryan Callan]

I remember there were a couple of reasons.

A) It required a large demo to download for one car (this has been fixed by Gunthar/Artsonika's standalone mod which is very small)
B) The physics for it are not updated alongside the other RACE cars - this was solved by Gunthar a patch ago but is currently not.

 

[Matt Clark]

ah right fair enough, are there any new wtcc cars in development that you know of?

 

[Ryan Callan]

The BTCC Honda Civic seems to be in perpetual development

There are many in rFactor.

on youttube there is a vid of a chevvy cruze, dont know know genuine it is

 

[d1sc05tu32]

The Cruze is genuine... theres a group over at nogrip creating it for the WTCC '10 mod

 

[Ryan Callan]

Isn't that just a cleverly skinned Lacetti?

Isn't that just a cleverly skinned Lacetti?

No, it's not. I have seen pictures of the model and they have it ingame as far as I can tell.

 

[Ryan Callan]

Oooo.

 

[Günthar Rowe]

I could bring the Vectra physics up to v1.2.1.2 easy enuf...

 

[Ryan Callan]

That would be useful, but perhaps would be good to see if Yuri and the ARC would run it?

 

[Matt Clark]

yea that would be awesome

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Omg please let them not use those beautiful engine sounds of the BMW E46 for a Cruze :no:

I think the Lacetti and the Cruze have more or less the same engine.
