Hi guys! First of all I would like to thank all of you for the good response that this mod had in the past days
Secondly... here it is the
first important update. I highly suggest to download it. It's mainly a graphical update but it makes the mod look better and it has also some bug fixes.
- Added a carbon cover in the inside of the tyre... it gives a more "realistic" look to the car, now it seems that it has also a sort of "brake hub".. I know that the original car didn't have anything like this but I concluded that this was a necessary compromise for a better looking mod.
- Front wing model has been improved (it was too straight in the past version)
- Bigger mirrors
- Improved body UV mapping
- Improved helmet design and UV mapping
- Added individual gloves and suit colors (Also the crew is different for each team)
- Front and rear wings are now part of the visual damage system, they will bend or oscillate after a collision
- Fixed the back pit/rain light of the car (previously it had the wrong texture)
- Improved lower lods.
- Fixed a bug with the Car Radar app not showing the car icon, now it is fixed. (thanks to @fatal4you for the report, you will need to clean the app cache in /Documents/Assetto Corsa/apps/carRadar to make it work. Just remove the grand_prix_racer folder in it)
- I included also skin and helmet templates. Still a a sort of wip tho.
Big thanks to
@Whills for his precious suggestions and advices
I was also thinking to add exhaust flames but in Assetto Corsa you need to create a different car for each team if you wish to change the flame direction depending on the selected skin.. It would've been just a useless work. The other option was to put the flames on the Ferrari exhausts, but the other cars would have had flames on the wrong place, resulting in some "ghost flames" effect... definitely not nice. So I will continue without flames (as it was in the original game)
Cheers!
