Swift Formula Atlantic - Need info - rFactor2
Long time lurker, first time poster. Quick intro, I've been doing modding for years for the various ISI/rFactor based platforms. Mostly with car painting with occasional dabbing of modeling and converting. My rF2 converting works have been the iDT Panoz DP01, iDT Champ Car Lola (Lola B02/00) and updates to the Dallara IL-15 (current IndyLights car).
The last few years attending the SCCA events at Road America, I've been wanting to focus more with the amateur racer. My initial thought was to convert the rF1 Swift 016a. The model was old but workable. But in my thread with the Panoz DP01 conversion, a user previewed an updated Swift 014a model. Seeing that is a better quality model I reached out. Luckily he was willing to provide me what he had. It is in game but needing some work. Another fortunate thing, is that the Swift 014a was also created in rF1. I know that was created at the time with some actual data and some real drivers from Toyota Atlantics tested it.
That rF1 mod was made in 2005-2006. That was a long time ago, and rF2 physics is, let's just say intense. Here is a link to the Physics calculator tool to give an idea of how in depth it goes (https://docs.studio-397.com/develope...lculation-tool)
Somethings with rF1 physics is a direct transfer, but many other things need a refresh. So I'm currently looking for data. I think I've exhausted everything that google has been able to provide. I think I've looked at every sales ad. I saw posts about the aero, suspension and setup manuals. I found some part lists, but not part descriptions/details. I know it is a big ask, but is this something that can be provided or acquired? If it isn't I'll start the laundry list of questions :D
Another ask is that the user made the Swift 014a, actually has an 016a in progress. His time has been limited, but if he makes it, I would be taking a look at getting that in game as well. So the manuals and information on the 016a would also be appreciated. I would possibly look at converting the rF1 model as a stop gap.
To sum up, this is still very early going. I'm still fairly new when it comes to physics, so results may be questionable. But i'll do what I can and get better. I appreciate everyone's time.
PS: If someone out there has an Elan DP02 3d model that they are willing to share, please let me know. The guys I'm around with at Road America recently added one to the fleet. It's on the list to do, if I can acquire a model or I learn 3d modeling.
