FV RFactor Sim

[Tom Mihelich]

I gave this RFactor sim mod a good going through yesterday and I have to say it is very nicely done indeed.
Running at the Mid-Ohio course was very enjoyable and brought back the feel of racing my Vee for sure.
However, I really would like to insert some more modern looking Vee's instead of just the vintage ones included in the mod.
Being I can model a Vee fairly accurately (I still have all on my Vee reference material from the Protoform I raced and can use 3D Studio Max ) I thought I would do just that. I did see the SR Racing chassis dyno sheet posted in this topic a few pages back and in looking at the physics engine for the current mod I thought I would just tweek it a bit to match this dyno sheet and give it a go.
I will also be adding slicks to it also. 8)
I will be posting some updated pic's as I go.

Here is a shot of my Vee overlayed on the mod chassis.
My plan would be to re-create the chassis from scratch.

Just making sure here we have the over-all's correct to the regs.
I had to do some pushing and pulling on the reference chassis.

Looks good, Tom. Did the FE model you were working on officially die?

[Tom Mihelich]

No it did not Keith.
The FV mod is actually much simpler (relatively speaking) to try and update first.
Once I get me feet wet on this I have plans to move back to the FE car model.
