WIP - ETKI Hillclimb edition. Currently the splitter is a transplant from the Pessima. I shifted the flexbody forward some to clear the wheels. I still need to play with scaling and positiong to get it to look right on the fenders. Downforce and collisions work already. I still need to move the nodes to line up with the flexbody. The car has around 550 whp, from a modified stage 2 performance block to allow for more torque (750 up from 670) and 20 lbs of boost. The ECU has been tweaked to allow for a higher redline, around 8000 RPM. A 6 speed sequential gearbox was added, the car doesn't have one stock. Suspension and gearbox tuning was referenced from the pessima, with tweaks made to account for the etki's larger size. Update 8/16/2020: Tweaked the mesh to fit the car better. It's now unique to the car. Next step is to move the nodes. Might work on a rear diffuser for the car, not sure yet. Update 8/17/2020: Rear diffuser has been added! I did this by combining the rear bumper and diffusers collada files. In blender, I did a boolean subtract to cut out part of the bumper for the diffuser. I may change the look of it to something more substantial but for now I'm happy. Update 8/20/2020: Nodes for the rear diffuser have been worked out, as well as beams and triangles. Aerodynamics and collisions work now! The plan is to have 6 nodes and 5 triangles for each of the diffuser wings. This will give better coverage of the actual model and allow for more realistic aerodynamics. The node situation for the front splitter is also fixed! (these just had to be moved to the new positions on the car)
Very nice, I just have a suggestion; Maybe add a rear thing on the rear wheels that are on the front (I don't know what to call it )
Wow, I had the same idea for the ETK K series. The I series for hill climb would still be very interesting though.
Yeah my idea was it's something like a group B monster from the 80's. Just massive power and crazy looks. For some reason, you could always fit the GTRX wing on the back, but not the front splitters. I'm wondering if they planned on a hillclimb edition and just haven't done it yet. I was able to modify the mesh to make everything look much better on the car. I had considered doing a rear diffuser. It would be much more difficult than this. I'd have to model it from the ground up, rather than reconfigure existing parts. I repacked everything as a proper mod file now, so it's not dependent on the Pessima. It still uses Beamng assets, just moved around and scaled in blender to fit the car.
This will be my first completed mod! I've tried a few others but stuff just fell through or didn't work out. This one has been a great learning experience so far. Thank you!
