outstanding ! fine details, drives beautifuly. Your Matra is also excellent. Both are consistent in performance, and slightly ahead of 1967 cars, faithful to real life. It is worth going to the dark side of the downforce !

1968 was a great year for F1 cars...we need others...and your new Matra MS11 is also a " must have"

If I could give you 6 stars I would, it's that good.
Many, many thanks, I think this is my all time favourite drive on AC.

Emil_1988

Oh thank you very much! I will try to get in some updates soon!

nice car, but the first skin (Surtees Monaco) still has wings... Is it possible to get it without wings?

Emil_1988

Thank you! Unfortunately it's not possible to do that to different skins. But if you select 0 wings on the setup they disappear from the car.

The model on loading says the collider.kn5 requires a missing DLC. I guess that is some kind of protection how do I unblock it?

Emil_1988

Thank you for telling me the error code! I will post a fix in a few days where this problem should be solved!

it is a shame that my pc unable to drive this car, I don't know why, both the direct folder and the content manager cannot load this car, and it is always has a problem in content manager, with a warning pattern.
Thanks a lot if the problem is solved!

Emil_1988

Thanks for telling me! I will try to solve this!

Absolutely gorgeous model of one of my all time favorite open-wheelers, has a few things that would still need adjusting, but throwing it around tracks and having some downforce over the RA300 makes it feel all the more special.
The ABS bug not only disabled all brakes, but seems to cause a weird shifting issue with the force feedback. Very much looking forward to see how this mod continues.

Emil_1988

I'm happy to hear that! Ok, I will have sort out these bugs before the next update. Thanks for the review! :)

I can't seem to get it to work with my laptop. Most other cars work fine and I've got Custom Shader Patch as well?

I've tried copying the directory directly into the cars directory and also used Content Manager as well.

Many thanks in advance for any feedback

Emil_1988

Hmm ok. Does it crash when loading? What kind of error are you getting?

Awesome man. Great car behaviour, growling v12, and a very nice and polished 3d model (looks very beautiful in VR). Having lots of fun with it, thanks a lot!!

Fallen in love. Who the hell is bazza. I would give you 6 stars if I could. Best vintage F1 racer ever. And also a good first pick. I always liked hondas high-rev low-torque engine.

Emil_1988

Dunno how to respond to this, but thanks alot! :) It was Bazza's GPL mod who sparked my interest for this ;)

Hi Emil, another great update car is getting better and better. Thank you for your hard work keep going. Will you be doing the whole 1968 grid ?

Emil_1988

Thank you Mark! Nah all cars will be way too much for me. But hopefully a few cars more :)

i like it a lot. However i can´t use it because i play with controller and TC and ABS won´t work properly, once this issue is fixed i think this could be one of my fav mods

Emil_1988

I'll look into that, thank you =)

Model looks fantastic, not sure how accurate the sound is but it does sound cool. Some cleanup: The mirrors are reversed, should be swapped, other than that the car performs great

Emil_1988

Thank you for the review! No the sound needs more work for sure. I'm no good at soundmodding. And this car is hard to get good recordings from. Will fix the mirrors! =)

At first I thought it needs some more work on the physics-side. But it just needed some more work on my "getting used to it"-side, because I am used to the 67 cars, but this one is 1.1s faster than the RA 300 in Zandvoort after just a few laps and a bit of personal setup-work. After some more laps I really felt at home in the RA301. I can't wait for the wings to arrive. It looks fantastic already.

Thank you for the review! :)

Thanks for this. Has that beautiful 60's feel to it and I'm around 1-2 seconds quicker than the GPL 67'cars which I guess is about right.

Hope you make the future wings optional ? Like with the excellent Formula 1970 ?

Emil_1988

Thank you! That's great to hear! Maybe it's abit too quick then. It will be even faster with the wings. Yes that's the plan :)
