Cars 1970 Mustang

Joshua Widder · Dec 15, 2017

An absolute boon which has more or less allowed me to go ahead with the creation was the regulation that the stock mounting points position on the chassis could not be modified, along with the use of factory spindles(not necessarily from same car) which has made the most difficult things to find out besides dampers easily done. The hardest to do will be a Penske creation(I believe) of using fwd hubs on the rear axle... No clue how I am going to do that is Assetto...
@DutchDevil79 Feel free to contact him, start a PM with me if anything pans out, I am always open to getting better physics.

Just some more testing, been messing with setup.ini and testing the ranges of setup changes for the trans am boss. Brakes still need some tweaking, other than a few other little things I am getting happy with where it's sitting on the physics standpoint.

Run with close to stock suspension

Bit more race tuned suspension

Update on the street cars: The Boss 302 decals are now 3d objects and provide MUCH better looks for the iconic BOSS 302 on the side, also easy now to modify the color of the decals

In desperate need of the ambient ground shadow, looks as if its floating

Looking magnificent otherwise

It is on the list of things to do before end of year

Thanks to Dan on that one?

Really looks good. Can't wait to see it on the road.

He was the instigator, yes. I was looking at his glorious 302 LS the other day and saw the method for the decals on his and well I liked it

Without him this mod would look quite a bit, ugly, if I am honest. He has been an instrumental help and a great mentor, especially with all the questions

aphidgod · Dec 21, 2017

Yeah, I recognized the technique from our Laguna Seca mod.

Working on that again now that we have its track. Guess it's a Mustang kind of week.

Joshua Widder · Dec 21, 2017

I haven't even had the time to drive it yet, though it will be fun to take these bricks down the corkscrew.

The Trans Am car has piqued my interest, I can't wait to try that one!

Joshua Widder · Dec 25, 2017

It is a handful, though quite enjoyable when you get it right.

Andy-R · Dec 26, 2017

Looking at racingsportscars I imagine it was probably doing somewhere around 1:43 laps at Bridgehampton so I predict it will be closest in pace to the Escort RS1600. Saying that it did 1:28.2 at RIR which is too fast for that car and closer to the 911 RSR. I doubt it will be consistent because straight line weapon but at certain tracks it could be good fun with one of those 2 cars

Well don't worry by the time of its final release I will provide some idea of competition for it

In the form of an AMX to accompany it, of course. Right? Right?

Lookin forward to it

Though to be completely serious, the AMC will not be great on physics as Kunos does not have camber to solid rear axles, cause Penske were some crafty buggers who put some big FWD hubs on the rear axle with some U-joints to allow camber changes to the rear wheels.

I don't know enough about that era of Trans-Am, it seems; didn't know Penske ran AMC in there. Cool tidbit!

Bud Moore ran the Boss cars, Penske the Javelins(from Camaros prior years), Chaparral Camaros, Autodynamics Challengers, AAR Cuda's, and T/G Firebirds after the Trans Am was declared illegal for failure to meet homologation requirements. There were multiple independents in 67-70' versions of Camaros and other cars, Milt Minter even won a race in his 69' Camaro I believe.
