Auto Credit Based on JetCarRacer's Shiny Thing
This is a LMP1 car that I have designed partially on a CAD (Computer Aided Design) program, to get the curvature of the vehicle.
LMP1 is an acronym for Le Mans Prototype 1. These cars are built to race in endurance races, such as the 24 Hours Of Le Mans.
I have not designed this based off any specific LMP1 car, but it follows the basic style.
Top Speed (low power): 265mph
0-60mph (low power): Around 3 seconds
Top Speed (high power): 275mph
0-60mph (high power): Around 1.2 seconds
AG1: High Power Mode
AG8: Lights
Pitch: Forwards/Backwards
Roll: Turning
Brake: Brake
Note: When on high power mode, do not turn very sharply as the car will spin out of control, and remember to brake before turning (in all modes).

Huh I usually just ask SledDriver @JetCarRacer
What I did is create the shape I wanted in for the curve in CAD (2D sketch), divided up the shape into segments, mostly 0.25mm (all of the units in the design are equal to the units in simple planes, i.e. 1 SP unit = 1mm), and created the segments at the correct length in simple planes.
I then measured the lengths of the sides of all of the segments, and to four decimal places, copied the lengths into the hight/width of the fuselage pieces in simple planes.
I then measured the (vertical) distance between the centres of the sides of the segments, and put that into the rise/run on simple planes. If the rise/run is a negative or positive number depends if the centre of the next side of the segment is above or below the centre of the previous segment.
It is a rather long process, but if you want to get curvature on your creations it does work. @chancey21
How to transfer cad to SP????
