On Hold 1994/1995 Indy Car

Hate to break it to you but it's not.

 

Any progress update?

 

This is dead, isn't it?

 

The author is working on Freightliner fs65 AFAIK, maybe he works on this too, but that's not for sure.

 

Nah fed , this mod is not dead , the author is currently working on some real life stuff if i remember correctly , once he is done with that , the mod will be continued , consider this mod being on hold . . .

 

Back to work

 

Idk if this has been asked before but is it possible to fly into the air when you spin?

 

Like in a realistic way or like the FR17?
I'd say in a realistic way, yes, check the gif on page 2

 

Welcome back Grandma

 

What

 

One of the legends are back

 

Preparing a modular way to work on 4 cars at once
(If you ever wonder why my mods are one giant clusterf-- of jbeam, this is why. I work on the individual parts seperately, and a program combines them into one file)

Code:

{
#rem include suspensions
#include ..\..\CART95_INCLUDES\cart95_suspension_f.snip
#include ..\..\CART95_INCLUDES\cart95_suspension_r.snip
}

 

Looking forward to reading through your jbeam files.

 

So what might happen is because BeamNG's aerodymics were limited a couple years back, we might have to remove ~60% of the collision of the car to get proper aerodynamics. Sucks, but would rather have proper aerodynamics over aerodynamics built almost 100% on workarounds than have multi car crashes work.

(This is also the same reason that e.g. the wings on the Antonov have 1/3rd the coltris I wanted them to have, and get stuck in vehicles instead of collide properly. otherwise it wouldn't fly at all)
--- Post updated ---
Update: May just have to write custom physics code. If that doesn't work, this mod won't work. BeamNG's aerodynamics were simplified to a point where cars like this might be impossible :/

 

Yeah, I think I'll put this on hold until further notice. Unfortunately some physics optimizations that happened I think ~1.5 years ago have made it so we'd have to compromise quality.

We've been having isusesfor years with this, and it's not worth it just to compromise in the end. Will hope for some changes in the future.

 

That sucks about the physics breaking this mod before it was released

 

Yeah. The mod was like 95% done, then I overwrote a model and had to restart with setting that all up. So I got a bit discouraged and thought "I'll wait till I get motivation back". Come the time when I get motivation back and the mod is not possible anymore :/. And of course, that's discouraging and starts the cycle of losing motivation again.

 

im super excited for this

 

To be completely honest, I'd rather have this mod be imperfect than not released at all :/

 

What exactly changed @Dummiesman that over-simplified aerodynamics in BeamNG.drive? I find it unusual that the devs would compromise aerodynamics when focusing on physics realism especially when aerodynamics is a huge factor in vehicle performance...

I understand where you're coming from though, and hope that things change in the future that will allow for this mod to be continued and potentially released.
