As far as I can tell the LEGO 3D models are 'free / open source'.
This is just a bit of holidays fun, perhaps in this crazy lockdown time giving
you a few hours of joy. If I should be locked up for infringing all sorts
of things, let me know.
==============================================================================
LEGO Technic 8880 "Test Car" for AMS Readme, December 29, 2021, v1.0
==============================================================================
It is called a 'Readme' for a reason..
=====
INTRO
=====
Hi, or should I say HoHoHo. This is the amazing 1994 Lego Technic supercar,
faithfully reproduced in Automobilista. Thanks a bunch to Dave and Sandro for
bringing the 3D model into the game!
Not only does it LOOK like the real thing, it also kinda drives like the real
thing, scaled up 8x so it becomes 'full size'. Real data was measured:
- Total weights
- Weight distribution
- Center of gravity height
- Unsprung weights
- Suspension Geometry
- Gear ratios
- FOUR WHEEL STEERING! Maybe a first in ISImotor sims, maybe not.
So it kinda drives the way it does (terrible) and feels the way it does
(horrific with very poor FFB) because of the real data! I.e. don't blame me.
Actually its great fun because of this 'character'!
Sounds are actual recordings of the LEGO engine!
Another 100% faithful and accurate release by Niels Heusinkveld....
============
INSTALLATION
============
- Unzip in your main AMS folder (steam/common/Automobilista )
- Add these lines to the bottom of your RealFeelPlugin.INI:
[8880]
MaxForceAtSteeringRack=2500.000000
SteeringDamper=11500.000000
FFBMixerRealFeelPercent=100.000000
FrontGripEffect=0.000000
SmoothingLevel=5
Kf=6000.000000
Ks=5.000000
A=1.000000
Kr=7.000000
- Select the obvious LEGO mod on the main menu
- Now HOHOHO into the nearest tree! Enjoy..
========
SETTINGS
========
360 degree wheel rotation for 1:1 LEGO experience
============
LIMITATIONS
============
- AI probably can't drive
- The high poly count means you can't race online, you run out of memory with less than 5 cars.
- Its a bit of offline single player fun only!
===========================
PHYSICS QUIRKS AND FEATURES
===========================
The FFB is horrific. You now feel all 4 tires, as the steering is linked to the rear suspension.
It really isn't great. In fact, it is really bad!
But that is mainly because of the actual LEGO car geometry which lacks caster angle, trail, while
having large scrub radii, creating steering forces from acceleration/braking.
It feels worse than last years 8865 mod, also available at RaceDepartment. But it is definitely
UNIQUE!
