@DerekSP no problem! Rn I'm having troubles with my piston engine, might have to rebuild the system entirely, at least it reaches 50mph in a straight line with a 4:1 gearbox
@Supermini555 @yoshicraze and everyone, thank you for the upvotes! Didn't expect it would receive such attention even after being smashed to a wall during the race!
Haven't tested yet, but with those times, you're in good way! I could perfectly put a 1:10 beast, but in this race I'll go by the fancy way with a BMW M3 clocking a solid 1:20. Later I'll test your vehicle.
@JohnnyBoythePilot this is the last version, I had to increase the drag a bit from the original V6(deleting small fuselage fins) to make the car able to turn properly, otherwise it would go flying on the semi-final turn of the race. guess I'm gonna keep it with the white paint, I'm too lazy to make the tri color striped painjob xdd
The problem is simple, it has way more power than what the vehicle can handle.
2) the car is a bit too low for how wide it is, the low profile cars are excellent for these races, but an excessively wide vehicle may get stuck when going through bumps, another option is to make your wheels a bit bigger, but that's up to you. Adding downforce seems to solve the problem, keeping the Car glued to the ground, but it gets stuck when starting because of how wide it is, getting not enough ground clearance. Also, the race was set to 500 parts max a day ago, so feel free to go wild in details and complex suspension.
@JBird well, mirage speedway is the tournament right now, so if you want this as your entry, better modify it. If it wasn't for this track, I apologize for misunderstanding. But for mirage speedway it doesn't get past the first corner when driven by AI.
@JohnnyBoythePilot sadly that's how AI behaves, I solved that by limiting the range of the steering, so the steering only works best at high speed, but can barely turn at low speed.
@JohnnyBoythePilot use downforce, also I tend to use no more than 5° of steering when it comes to AI, so the steering is smooth and has great response, in the case of my BMW, I used rotators for the steering, so I could slow down the turning rate and make it smoother when cornering, so it wouldn't lose too much speed or flip at mid corner.
@JohnnyBoythePilot try searching images of car supension and how they are built, I have direct source because I work with cars IRL., but everyone can do it, just copy the systems and adapt them to SP.
@JBird I used roll, but taking into account that AI uses 100% throttle, the torque from the engine totally defeated the steering, resulting in barely turning. gonna test again just in case ;)
set your steering between 5-10 degrees, set manual grip and tweak your car, you still have 10 days left, so make sure to put the best on your car! good luck!
@Jimmybob you won me on this one hahahaah
@JeffreyD2015 thank you very much for the Spotlight!
@Flu thank you!
looks cool!
Welcome back!
built an entire new engine, reching speeds of over 60mph with direct input, yay!

About what is the Drivetrain section?
is this from Command & Conquer? so many memories from that game omg
I'm sure I've seen this spaceship in somewhere else....maybe it was a movie or a game? who knows, very nice creation!
@F104Deathtrap I'll try if I have time
@F104Deathtrap np, I really love these golden era planes, I hope Macchi is next, also powered by RR.
Seems like we've discovered an amazing player!
Since no notifications were received, this means that rotators with custom angle(mine has 5° instead of 10) do work for tournaments yay!
@JonorBX yup, with a bit of creativity, one can make 1:1 cars with low part count
@JonorBX this is my current entry, as you may see, this time I'm going fancy instead of competitive.
@JonorBX maybe make a post after the race with a top 10 vehicles from the race? and also some narrative about crashes and funny stuff
that thing weights less than my BMW xdd, I guess finally we'll get decent cars for this Motor Mirage.
what max part count must it have?

@Cbennett57 and I'm slower than you right now xdd
@Cbennett57 thats a great improvement! meanwhile I'm struggling to keep my BMW with a decent time without it flying away on a corner.
basically every SP bulding session
@JBird np
Haven't flown it yet, but this plane is my nemesis, in WarThunder I can't escape from it in my Do335, even when diving! Btw, very beautiful build!

Das ist wunderbar!

@randomusername ok
@randomusername ok, will see it later when I get home.

@Botfinder ok, thank you very much!
@JohnnyBoythePilot I'm not using any gyros, only downforce, center of gravity and grip control.
@AndrewGarrison Time for a new paintjob!
@AndrewGarrison wait, what?!
@JBird not even at 17% it turns, but ti fails to make tight turns, I suggest you to put steering on another par of wheels
yup, crashed against the first wall it saw and totally missed the first corner on the second round. make sure to test it with physics set to high!
@JBird I used roll, but taking into account that AI uses 100% throttle, the torque from the engine totally defeated the steering, resulting in barely turning. gonna test again just in case ;)
interesting car, Although I laugh half the race at how this car skips the track to hit the rings, its a very decent oponent to my bmw E30. good luck!
@JohnnyBoythePilot thats 1 second faster than my BMW, and I had to reduce the grip in order to let the car drift instead of flipping on ring 24.
set your steering between 5-10 degrees, set manual grip and tweak your car, you still have 10 days left, so make sure to put the best on your car! good luck!
welcome back mate!
cant even turn, set your steering to Roll Input if you want this thing to steer under AI control, and I suggest you no more than 5° of steering.
sorry, but this thing cant even turn, set your traction to manual and tweak your vehicle from scratch, you still have plenty of time, good luck!
