Misc AC Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Step 0 mod

LTLGamer1 · Dec 13, 2020

LTLGamer1 submitted a new resource:

AC Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Step 0 - New physics for the AC Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.

Installation:
1) Create a copy of ks_lamborghini_sesto_elemento and rename it to ks_lamborghini_sesto_elemento_s0
2) Extract ks_lamborghini_sesto_elemento from the RAR file to content/cars in the AC folder. Replace files if prompted to do so.
3) Rename ks_lamborghini_sesto_elemento.bank inside the sfx folder to ks_lamborghini_sesto_elemento_s0.bank
4) You can now delete lamborghini_sesto_elemento.kn5 and the other LODs present. I've edited lods.ini to take them from the vanilla AC...

sooooooo whats been changed?

LTLGamer1 · Dec 13, 2020

Pretty much....everything. Only brake power, car weight and steering column remain the same.

Details, man.

Like the other two commenters, I'm interested but would like to know more specifics of what we can expect from this

LTLGamer1 · Dec 13, 2020

It is widely believed that the car is a 'shitbox', which I thought was a shame. I learnt that the car would understeer or oversteer without warning and that the car overreacted to bumps.

My aim with this mod was to alleviate those issues and make it better to drive.

This mod does not replace the Kunos physics, but is an addon, so you can race the the Kunos car and this one if you so wish.

Changes:
1) New semislick tires (this is the only compound available now)
2) New suspension behavior (pretty much everything was changed here except the wheelbase, track widths, CG location and suspension mounting points)
3) New aerodynamics of the car (aero.ini was where the bulk of these changes took place)
4) Reduced drivetrain loss (in response to the aerodynamic changes and to increase the top speed to the official figures)
5) New gearbox properties (everything here is new; gear ratios, differential properties, throttle cut-off, autoblip, etc.)
6) New brakes (power and bias updated)

Everything else remains the same. Hope this clarifies.

PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE MAIN DESCRIPTION OF THE MOD.

LTLGamer1 updated AC Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Step 0 with a new update entry:

Approaching realism

The tyres were too grippy (some values were taken from the base car's Trofeo tyre). This has been rectified.

LTLGamer1 updated AC Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Step 0 with a new update entry:

New Tires

Based on your reviews, I've reworked the tires. Semislicks can be used for hotlapping while Street can be used for other purposes (such as top speed runs). Both would last longer than the tires of previous verisons.

The Sesto Elemento has the 7th fastest lap time on the Top Gear test track, with a 1:14:00, beaten by Pagani Huayra's 1:13:08. Most cars at the top of that list aren't as tame as a Golf when driven fast, that's why they've decided to have an ex F1 driver behind the wheel. You can carry on this "hey ma, i can edit a tire file" nerfing to the moon and back, but it doesn't change the fact that you have to be good in order to squeeze the best lap time from this car. Being fast with dumbed down tires doesn't make you better, it makes you worse. You're adjusting the car for what you are lacking.
