Hirochi Sunburst

For anyone curious, the remastered Sunburst is called "sunburst2" in the files so it doesn't conflict with the legacy one.

 

Very good remaster. Too bad there's no RHD version

 

it's a shame it looks so ..wrong

i really REALLY hope the sunburst gets a future update to address some of these new 'proportions'.

 

Comparison with the old NinetyNine's wagon mod.




This was a great, very much needed remaster for this car, but I hope the wagon gets some improvements.

 

Call me weird, but I don't actually mind it. I personally like it better than the previous mods that added one.

 

I like the remaster wentward should be next on the list.

 

I tried to post this in 0.35 discussion like an hour ago, but for some reason it got flagged and is "awaiting approval by moderators"

Is it just me, or is the car too weak? I feel like a 20 km/h rear impact shouldn't buckle the roof above the rear doors, especially on a car this modern.


I also noticed in typical front-end crashes (similar to real-world crash tests) the force of the impact isn't really absorbed by the front of the car, and instead goes straight to the passenger compartment, see how the roof buckles above the doors and kind of dips down in the middle? The rear door frame is also deformed to the point where the door doesn't close anymore, the entire door doesn't line up with the unibody anymore. If you compare this to real-world crash performance of a car in the same class, in the same type of impact at the same speed (even a car that performed poorly in the same impact) you'll see a big difference in the absorption and transfer of crash forces throughout the car.


That's not the kind of crash performance you'd see on any real car in this type of accident. I'm not typically the type to bash on stuff in this game but I'm genuinely disappointed by this, especially in a simulation that focuses so much on soft-body physics and is essentially known for its "realistic" deformation.

 

The legacy Sunburst conflicts with the new one (doors, wheels, fenders, quarter panels, etc...). Is it probably because I have the KLJP mod or am I wrong?

 

If I had to guess, KJLP might've named their mod sunburst2, which might be what is causing the conflict.

 

when is sunburst remaster coming

 

that makes 0 sense since then it wouldnt work on the original sunburst

 

Indicator stalk isn't animated lol

 

what happened to the hillclimb config =(

it was my favourite hillclimb config );

 

could you in the next planned update add the larger previous splitter and wing from the old hillclimb config. possibly?

i meant it still is a good config and all you devs did great in this update and i love that

 

I thought that too don't get me wrong the model is beautiful but it seems like the jbeam was not really altered that much especially the crumple zone effectiveness it still basically crashes like before the clipping issues are still there the janky downwards thrill of the front structure in most impacts and so on it feels like the whole structure is too weak and kind of janky its like 2014 beam physics but in 8k

 

Aren't there supposed to be struts holding the hatch up?

 

All of the Sunburst's engines idle around 900 RPM, which is too high for normal idle. Subaru (and most other) engines idle at closer to 700 RPM normally.
