VRC Modding Team is proud to announce the release of the Williams FW31, this is the first version after the team has decided to continue the awesome work done by FormulaCorsa team, which we thank a lot.

This version includes the first part of changes done by VRC which concern many 3D/2D areas ,sounds and physics.

More changes are planned for future updates, but you can find a detailed changelog in the pdf included with the download file.

Enjoy !

A bit too early for a new version, but i couldn't wait

Sounds will be updated with the 1.4.

Changelog:

Graphics:

- Improved mirrors quality (finally! thanks matias).
- Added reflection to the wheel display.

Physics:

- Fixed KERS on the S1 version.
- Stiffer front heave spring.
- Reworked suspension damping (again !!).
- Some aero/tyres black magic to make the car "kerb friendly"

Changelog:

- Updated physics to the latest AC version (new setups needed).
- Updated sounds according to the changes introduced with 1.9.
- Fixed lights not working on previous versions.

I hope this time i forgot nothing

Changelog:

- Fixed glowing brake discs not present on the previous version.
- Career is not supported anymore, so i removed it.
- Engine Limiter can't be set to 101% anymore.

Changelog:
- Updated physics:

• Added brake temperatures (optimal temp around 600°C, only a dev app called telemetry shows disc temps).
• Updated tyres to V10
• Updated KERS for the S1 version.
• Added engine braking settings.
• Slightly reworked gears to work with the new tyre radius growth code.
  
  Feedback is needed (only bugs), as i'm the only one still working on this mod

Changelog (1.3.1):
- Fixed KERS on S1 version.

Changelog (1.3):

- Tyres updated to V7 tyre model specs (core temps are relatively stable, surface temps can vary quite fast and with higher values, choose your compound wisely).
- Reworked tyre wear and tyre thermal model (optimal practical temps go from 90°C to 105°C ... practical = avg (IMO) *0.25 + Core*0.75 easy! right ?).
- Reworked aerodynamics and yaw aero loss included.
- Unlocked camber in setup (finally!) (optimums around -3.8° Front and -2° Rear, use values around -4.1°/-2.2° to reduce kerb of death effect).
- Added "Brake Pressure" to setup.
- Reworked gear ratios, old ratios setups won't work.
- Updated Sounds for AC 1.5.
- Improved flames effects.

Known issues:

- Tyres textures with shadows enabled are still bugged, hopefully kunos will release a fix in next updates, nothing we can do about it for now.
