    Time Attack - Max downforce - Black on UI app.
    Cleaning Mode - Max opening - White on UI app.

    To change the drive mode press CTRL+Q or press the button.
    The video shows how to install the parts and change the drivemode.


    Known Flaws
    Lack of texturization:
    Normal maps - the panel gaps effect was made with blender bevel modifier.
    The spoiler texture is completely plain so there is no detail below it.
    Might not work with liveries - diffuse maps weren't edited and there was mirror usage.

    Spoilers may be a bit wobbly under certain conditions - this usually happens when the car is wobbly itself, the effect is just worse on the spoiler.

    Nodes and triangles could be simplified to demand less resources.
    The spoiler also has high weight making it a bit less realistic due to the amount of nodes and weight to make them stable.

    Vivace Specific:
    Roof node coordinate change might worsen crash behavior.
    Requires changing both the roof and the tailgate. This is due to the mesh used being tied to the roof, and the jbeam collision triangles to the tailgate.

      I'm sorry but studying takes a lot of time, and still haven't found a way to learn to texture so I can add texture maps to these models.

    Wow, never thought I'd see it, great job. Adding on to what dumpling said, I think it's a great idea, so when you do add it, could you keep the current one, and add the dual one seperatly?

      Yes i'm only planning on adding content and I'm working on the huayra style ones.

    The mod is brilliant so far! I found out that the new drivemodes break the comfort mode spoiler setting for the SBR4, but other than that i've had no issues. SBR4's comfort mode setting doesn't change the spoiler height, and so it keeps the height settings of the previous mode.
    For the Scintilla, though, I thought that if you could raise the front end of the spoiler a little in Time Attack mode, it would look a better, differentiate it from Cleaning mode, and allow for more room to increase the angle of attack while braking. For example, in Drift mode, the spoiler actually lifts itself as a whole rather than changing its angle... You'd have to see for yourself to know what I'm talking about.

      Next update i'm fixing the sbr4 problem, I know what it is already, since it happened when making drive modes for other cars too.
      I'm trying to find a way the angles costumizable in the tunning tab so that everyone can adapt it to their needs, I understand that it looks strange in time attack, but I wanted to diferenciate it, from ESC OFF, it's already very different from cleaning mode where there isn't change when braking, and it's always open to the max.
      I know what you are talking about drift mode without looking, this took me a lot of time, mainly thinkering, I didn't know what to do with the front flap in drift mode, so I kept it normal, might change it in the future.

    Really good mod, but I'm trying to look for the one for the 800-Series and K-Series.

      FYI I only plan on adding content with updates, unless it's broken.
      The etk 800 and etk k-series are still included.

    I love the Scintilla hood airbrakes, but I think it would be cooler if you can make it somewhat like the ones that are found on the Pagani Huayra. Maybe you can split the panel into two parts? Amazing update, I love it. :)

      ahahah, i'm already working on that and more. I am not able yet to make small spoilers stable, that's the reason behind it.
