Quote from Tomfuel :

even in load 1, the opponent's car suspension arms seems too tiny in diameter (or thickness), especially the rear in case of pursuit view (so on race)

we are thinking about a Cup with your mod, sound is lovely, handle too , this is a very fun car
but these so tiny arms disappoint and seems not realistic

Is it possible to change that please without affect too much handle and weight ?

I just posted the update for the car if you guys want to give it a test

I can try, I’ll upload the updated car sometime today for you guys to try

Quote from JohnT2005 :

Good mod,handles and looks the part. Just one thing, the suspension arms don't render when the it's around 2 car length away, is it possible to fix that? It's a little off putting seeing two floating wheels on oponents cars. Other than that, great mod.

The only way to fix that would be to add fake, non-moving suspension arms to the LOD2.

Well, this car is excellent, and certainly in my favorites folder!

Thank you

Quote from Scawen :

I've had a look at the model you sent and was a bit confused as the model is detailed, but from what I could see it was built in a way that you could reasonably expect to work.

Only problem... it doesn't work that way at the moment. I'm not sure yet how to make LFS do the best thing. But I have made a simple demonstration of the problem, with a very low-poly object (attached).

There is only one mapping, which uses two cutouts (an ordinary one and an opposite one, for the reflected triangles). You might reasonably expect this arrangement to work, but it doesn't work properly. However, if you select the 4 yellow points and set them to "free" instead of "centre" then you can see the mappings behave as you would expect.

The trouble is when the points are "centre" LFS only creates one instance of them in the output mesh. Ideally LFS should create two instances of those points, one for each side. But thinking about it is confusing me at this point (I have a lot on my mind).

Anyway I can think of two solutions you could do:

1) For the very thin triangles along the top of the keel, select the TOP mapping

Or:

2) Select the central points along the centre of the keel and set them to "free" instead of "centre" as in the attached image

Personally I prefer option (1) although the triangles will form such a narrow line on the mapping.

Works perfectly now, thank you

Is there some other place I can send the car files?

I’ve finished a skin mapping and generated it but one of my Left side textures (an engine cover) is not showing on the mapping. I’ve mapped it correctly the same as everything else but it simply will not show up on the mapping at all. I’ve sent the file to a friend and they were able to successfully generate the skin mapping and get the left side of the engine cover to show up but the tops of both engine cover pieces are connected by something on the mapping and it stretches the gap between the two sides. Even more confusingly, anything I map within the same mapping as it also suffers the same issue and will not appear on the skin mapping. I’ve tried remapping the entire engine cover to another mapping but had no luck. I’ve also searched for any tiny triangles that could be causing any issues but also found nothing. This isn’t the first time I’ve had this issue on a car though and it seems to happen with open wheelers and specifically on the engine covers. The part is not excluded from the car in any configs or setups. I’m not sure if there’s any significance but just in case, I use MediBang Paint Pro to process and edit skin mappings.


(Photos from a much older project for a friend with the same issue)

• The black and white skin mapping is how the car appeared when I generated the mapping (note the left side of the car is missing)
• The wireframe image was what another modder received when they were sent the files to the car and generated their own skin mapping (The left side appears, but with weird lines connecting the two sides of the engine cover)

No i am not but it looks like a pretty cool game

Quote from Draco1224 :

hey, good job man, how do you make the view of the second screen like if it was in the real life the on board camera, i mean the setup of axis x,y,z.

Sorry for the long wait, I setup the onboard by going to the view menu, switching to “custom” view, then adjusting the pitch view, Y offset, and Z offset until I got the camera in the position I wanted
