Downforce

112 narwalsk  8.5 years ago

With the newest update I've been making lots of cars. My newest project is to make a formula 1 car. The only problem is that I can't make downforce properly. Can anyone help me with this?

    I managed to add a small bit of downforce to my car the Manta Racer by adding a lift generating wing in the back. I think what is happening is it is just lifting up the back and thereby pushing the front into the ground but it's working so... yeah. But I'm just a naïve kid.

    I have not tested this, but... put wings on the front and the back of the car and rotate them slightly downwards by doing some xml modding or using HellFireKoder's Fine Tuner mod.. It should theoretically force your car downwards as you would want it
    .
    if that fails, put more deadweight at the bottom of the car so its CoM is at the lowest possible place, this would increase the force required to blow the car away from the tracks but it would also decrease its performance
