Cars 2005 Ford Transit 1.0

no i meant that kind of van in general ... it was Merc, Citroen, VW etc ... i've done those speeds myself and i've been overtaken by them often enough, once i even used one of those to get a slipstream and save some fuel ... at 160kph
there's videos of Transits on YT where the 135hp version goes from
60-100 mph in14s ...
100-110 in 10s
another 30s to reach top speed at 115mph
one with a 125hp engine
60-100 mph in 19s
100-110 in 10s
another 36s to reach ~115mph
ofc those might have been filmed with a tailwind or with some slipstreaming ... but i couldn't get this thing past 90mph on the straight at leMans (without chicanes) or the "endless" track ...
so i set up a server with a 40kph tailwind on the lemans straight and it went from
60-100mph in 50s
after the 15s it was at 80mph
after 20s - 84mph
after another 10s it was at 90mph
so nowhere near the speeds in all those videos and all this with a storm up it's arse
i mean ... there's a video of a 1996 transit doing 111mph
We made it all home in one piece.Then with good luck you are rid of them, hurray...
But heights are not my thing. Speed, oh yes, heights, not.
Gave the Transit a shakedown, 10:25 is all I currently manage. I wanted to do more laps, but it takes too long
This thing teaches you to coast and not waste that precious momentum.
Maybe I finally learn to drive!
Is there a way to accomplish this with Car Tuner?
Believe me, no one is more excited about what I'm working on right now than me
Better be that Ford KA
I've never touched it in my life, so no idea.
I was thinking to use the animation system to put hub caps on my Primera wheels, but I don't think it would support wheel ... i haven't triend though , so perhaps on of these days I could explore it
beacon lights are in the cargo space !! haha, and yep, when you check them in setup, animation moves them to different spot,
of course you could have 2-3 stage animation moving it around, but as Gary said, it would require mesh/anim update, so maybe it can be folded into new update
yeah the speed is bit suprising , I have driven the old Transit ( never 160km+ thouhg, only reached about 110 or so) but in general I remembered it being bit faster, especially when empty
but then again, the speed in games is deceiving, haven't tried it in VR yet
@RS10 don't forget that the real life cars can be showing you more KPH then you currently drive, whereas AC shows you true speed, so that can also have a bit of effect here, but I do agree that i was imagining this to be bit faster

The low speed is because of the high drag. I'm simply basing the drag on the CFD data I received. Is it 100% correct? Unlikely, but better than guessing, so until I have any better data (not just a feeling) its stays as it is
I have the feeling that this mod will end up as the mod with the most collection of skins available.
I'm actually wondering if it'd end up with a real grass-roots series eventually, I mean we race anything we can get our hands on, and a bunch of knackered out transits isn't gonna cost the earth
I know but that offset is consistent across the entire speed range so looking at speed deltas is a fair comparison whether it's actually doing 115mph or 'just' 110mph is irrelevant.
The car's info even states that the top speed should be 175kph (~110mph) which will roughly be the 115mph the car in the video reaches if you take the offset into account - it is however incapable to even get remotely close to that.
But yea, the only way to get proper numbers regarding acceleration and speed would be getting to drive that particular car, and the way those are usually being driven the engines in most of them will be shot.
Well, yeah, maybe the power is too low then ? , or the amount of how much power is loss is too much , anyhow, I suppose it doesn't make that much of a difference in the end
it's true that if it was faster, it would be quite a bit faster on Nordschleife, so it would be easy to beat Sabine's time, which imo should be almost impossible, .. yes she was dealing with traffic, but she also had taped gaps on the car, seats and all that stuff out, and had Dodge Viper slip streaming for her
so it might as well be that the mod is already TOO FAST .. haha!

Yes. This is perhaps the first car mod where some graffiti skins would be appropriate.
Does radio work?
I found it. After creating a child of the Transit, go to "wing_animations.ini" and change the "INVERTED" value to 1.
Now i have a proper Police car for the AI with the nice light bar allways on.
Hi
How have you made These Kind of Blurry Screenshots on the Nordschleife ?
They Look fantastic

F5 cam, then use fast forward for a more pronounced blur effect (make sure motion blur is turned on)Hi
