Alright, little question for the physics guru if there are any :

What changes would you bring on a car's data to get to 264 km/h top speed with a 155bhp/600kg car ?

Work is still going on the Piper GTR, and while it looks like a fun little car for now, I struggle getting it to anything above 255 km/h top speed. Gear set is at a minimum possible, I tried to reproduce the aero impact of the front spoiler, probably failed but whatever. The only real figures I know are the power, the weight, top speed and the quite impressive drag coefficient of 0.28. But I don't know how to reproduce that ingame.

you'd love my wife, she instigated a builder to convert our carport into my mancave, at a cost of $12,000+ AUD. It houses my model car collection, workshop for models, NZ motorsport memoribillia that includes the shirt and cap worn by kiwi, Matt Halliday in the A1GP series, basic sim rig and the main part, a 4.8m * 2.4m slot car track, which I am slowly landscaping.

I'd say wife that girl but you already did! 🤣 :cheers:
 
** LINK UPDATED to v1.6 28th May **
VAO patch adjustments for deeper shadows/higher contrast; new grass texture, and saturation adjusted; tree contrast/saturation adjusted; new Germanic balloon skins.

Since we've been getting some great new DTM content recently I thought some spit 'n' polish to Hockenheim might be welcomed.
VheEth gave me permission to update his track:
  • v1.6 May 2024
    • animated helicopters, positions tailored for each layout
    • animated blimp patrolling the track perimeter
    • animated/flaring hot-air balloons, new German balloon designs
    • animated flag-waving spectators
    • updated cam-facing seated and standing crowds in the grandstands
    • crowd and pit audio added
    • grandstand seats recoloured, jumbotron images updated
    • treewall artefacts reduced, tree/bush normals fixed, tones compensated
    • new grass texture, saturation adjusted
    • various config adjustments
    • VAO patch strengthened to improve overall contrast

I'd look at the aero, keeping in mind that the game engine is quite good, but not perfect, so it might be necessary to fudge it a little.

1. Be sure the tyre size/gearing/rpm limit is OK for the required speed.
2. Start reducing the wing area of each of the wings (chord x width). In this case you're looking for 9kph, so small steps, perhaps just start with chord. Do both ends to avoid moving the aero balance.
3. Use a straight-line speed test track to minimise the time wasted on each test run.

Howzat?

I'm not a guru, but I would advise playing with the drag, for example by adjusting the files
wing_body_AOA_CL.lut
wing_body_AOA_CD.lut
this should help, of course, if all other parameters are correct.

Mosler is made in the US afaik.
Noticed this beauty at Zolder (6 years ago) and still waiting for some good soul to create this race beast (and livery)...
And the real sound was breath taking, hope it can be included... :drool:

Another shot at it... :D
Somebody brave enough to produce this skin for one of the available Moslers (preferably the @DaWallace version) ? 🙏

Craziness! Do you have a door outside or do your wife push the food through a hatch?
After all, my wife also gives me my evening hours on the rig.

it has external access, 2 sliding doors. she comes out to get me when food is ready
Its great when you have a supportive partner, hell mine even encouraged me to follow my dream I had as a 12 yr old kid, to drive big trucks in Aus, and thats what I do now.. unfortnately that means not alot of time in the mancave and when I get home for that 1 day a week, im too tired to go out to the room, and the sim rig is buried at the moment, not that I feel like driving on the pc after driving over 5000km in the week.
 
So, I decided to update personal build of the Monaco Circuit with all actual stuff and I realized - what a mess is there!
  • monaco_2020 (by Pyyer's recommendation)
  • monaco_2020 (by Ofitus21)
  • azure_2019 (by Junshen Wu)
and some other versions too..

And if the difference between the third track and the first two is more or less clear, then the first two - what is the difference between their versions? Plus, you need to add extensions from Pyyer, plus update the AI... What a disorder this is all.
And, the worst part, I couldn’t find a combination of the available AI configs (also with testing 2 new ones on Overtake) so that in races with AI, this same AI could take the Casino turn on open-wheels (at least on Kunos ones, Lotus 98T and Ferrari F2004) without bumping into each other’s butts.

This part of AC modding is really painful - there are a huge bunch of releases and fixes here and there, and you have to somehow manage to put all of this together into a working best build.

First of all, thank you for this amazing track, it is by far the best version of Monaco I’ve experienced.

I have noticed a minor issue that is bothering me. In Turn 15, the track next to the curb is labeled as “OFFTRACK,” which means your lap time gets invalidated when driving on the ideal line.

View attachment 1358260View attachment 1358259

A simple fix would be editing the "surface.ini":
Code: 
[SURFACE_4]
KEY=OFFTRACK
FRICTION=0.9
DAMPING=0
WAV=
WAV_PITCH=0
FF_EFFECT=NULL
DIRT_ADDITIVE=0
IS_VALID_TRACK=1
BLACK_FLAG_TIME=0
SIN_HEIGHT=0
SIN_LENGTH=0
IS_PITLANE=0
VIBRATION_GAIN=0
VIBRATION_LENGTH=0
Setting IS_VALID_TRACK=0 to 1. However, doing so would make every off-track part a valid race track, which I think is not too nice.

For my version, it has different kerbs, different armco/wall, different collision physics, different turn swimming pool, different tree model, different texture, different ai could through hairpin，different lights in tunnel, and so on.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but every single version of Monaco out there has that very huge and weird bump inside the tunnel, just before the curve. I never remember it being like that in real life. And it's for sure not like that now.
I don't know about yours though, haven't tried it yet and I'm not at home right now.
 
hi all, anyone else noticed the newest rt_zolder track update that was pushed a while ago via CM breaks the billboards above the track (with breaking I mean that they are Z-fighting when seen from a distance, only when you are closer the flickering stops).
I've reverted back to v1.01 because it was perfectly fine there (I don't recall if it was after a fix done to it or not)...Anyway here a Download of the old version 1.01 for anyone who also dislikes the flickering of the billboards.

The newer version 1.2 does come with cool extra trackside bigscreens, and probably some other improvements, so I wouldn't mind if someone can fix the billboard Z-fighting flickers in v1.2... :)

Agreed, there’s no definitive ultimate version of Monaco. So many over the years based on the same Codies build from the F1-17 game or something, which was probably based off their first one in 2010. We need one to rule them all, with all the recent extensions and updates and with camera-facing crowds, etc too, so that we can forget about any others.

Agree. It's quite funny, but also sad.
But what’s really surprising is that after so many years no one thought of importing the Monaco Circuit from Project CARS 2. The assets there are quite nice, the track itself is well detailed. :)

Yes these are excellent. Sold my bass shakers and never looked back. Wasnt expecting much because of the size compared to the bass shakers I was running but with them being directly behind/underneath you the effects are way better felt. I think a lot of the bass shakers vibration is lost when using aluminium profile rigs, especially if you have a larger size profile. Another upgrade thats really worth while is some haptics on the pedals.
Click to expand...
I used to have a large bass shaker attached to my pedal mount. It was indeed a nice addition.

Bought one of those HF8 1 month ago without expecting much, bypassed the software and used Simhub directly, very user friendly.
My seat is not dead anymore, I get more infos on traction and it's almost silent. It's good as a cheap solution.

Oh, some seem to complain about engines under the thighs not being very confortable, I'm huge and tall and no issue.
Click to expand...
That's exactly what I did, went directly with SimHub. Makes it super easy.

I have been using something similar (it is in my signature) for many years feed trough Simhub, in addition to my buttKicker, I am very happy with the result.
In conjunction with DD and VR, it is an important tool to better immersion.

Cote, man, I loved my buttkickers. I went through 3 buttkickers during my days of racing NASCAR 2003. Unfortunately the pistons of the buttkicker would always eventually overheat and sieze up on me. :( I couldn't use those now-a-days as the buttkickers were as loud as my bass shakers but with more of a sharp sound to it. But I did love my buttkickers.

Sorry guys, didn't mean to go so off-topic. My next post will be something relevant to our home thread here. ;)

I didnt have the car previously so downloaded the latest, deleted the data.acd and replaced with the new data.acd

if I dont replace data.acd it seems to be fine

no upscaling just removed the milkyness and touched up as necessary, they look good enough for 1024x1024. Should be drag and drop installation although to acheive this and to get CM to recognise the files i have had to put the full skin folders in not just the window.dds file.
