Physics reworked for Alpine A110 1600S

(In the archive v0.1 you`ll find both packed and unpacked versions of data for the Alpine A110 1600S.) In v0.2 there is the full added content for the car - data, sound, skins, etc. Link for the mod I put in the package or navigate as follows

I did not like the original handling and redid it all - suspensions, setup, FFB, drivetrain, power, brakes. Now it resembles more a car like the famous little Alpine A110 from 1969. You also can easily edit that yourself using the unpacked data and using the Content Manager.

After installing the car and testing it`s original state, unpack this download in the car`s folder "\AssettoCorsa\content\cars\alpine_a110\" and overwrite when prompted. If you like to have the old and new cars side by side use "Assetto Corsa Car Tuner" to make a copy of the old before applying my patch.

Ahvenisto track day in clear weather with a grid of vintage goodies gives this lap board:

If the ride height of the car seems low to you, find in data folder "car.ini" and edit

so it reads "-0.46" or "-0.45" to raise the body visually without change in the car`s behavior. Or look at the minor changes in this post.

No doubt the tyre pressures are very important for best experience in AC so I found a little trick that enables ProTyres to read this triple set without additional downloads and fuss:

Only on the left side first drag "#3" set over "#1" set without holding "Shift", drop it and reach the next state:

Now mark the radio button for "#1" set and delete "#4"

When done like so, click "Save" and confirm. This is handy not only for the Alpine, other mod cars can work for you now with ProTyres after such procedure. Trick works only on unpacked "data", not on "data.acd".

I would like to have a feedback on this rework, especially if it`s constructive criticism.

So, with the help from user "velofosse" I hope we can get this car updated with even better sound along the better visuals. I have only a small request - someone please redo the sound of this Alpine 1600s from

because it`s way louder than necessary inside and way weaker on the outside.

A very nice free roam option:

Big variety of rough surface roads, tight or wide corners, stretches, gravel, racetracks and general awesomeness... Especially now with Shaders patch and Sol.

Happy driving!

"Why do it" - original felt like pCars at it`s worst and I don`t like much that kind of FFB.
"Why that car" - respect for the original source whoever he is.
If you like to have the old and this side by side use "Assetto Corsa Car Tuner" to make a copy of the old before applying my patch.
"Is it accurate" - if it feels right it might be.
Thank you for the support and the nice grade! Cheers!

I`m interested to see your take on the physics. Post link to your "data" or upload it packed and /w ".txt" extension as attachment in the support section. From the source there is no way I could know who to thank for the initial work. If there are hard feelings - correct the source first and then I`ll give proper credit to the authors.

Thanks for your kind words! Alas, I too am not personally familiar with a real A110 and only dream of driving one. Or maybe it`s a case of "never meet your heroes" to not be disappointed. Glad that this virtual one did not disappoint you. Cheers!

From what I have the Celica sounds closest and thst`s what I put in the update above. Glad you like my main effort :)
