Simply beautiful! I am loving my Formula Hybrid and this looks to be another hit. Just a question, how hard is it to add a display to the actual dash for those of us that hide the wheel/hands?

Again, incredible magic you are creating here.

Thank you
Hi )
Thank you for the kind words ))

Regarding the display you asked about ,
I am not 100% as of today,s date regarding AC coding for the amount of NODES I can create inside my 3DS Max ,
But from the last time I tried ,
They limited it to 25 NODES / Dummies , So basically its code restricted , Must be simply due to performance ,
As from my perspective when writing the code , Changing a limit from 25-99 , Made not much difference ,
But obviously I am not writing this code , so maybe its more complicated that just this information ,

So I could create the display for example , But our steering wheel would be obviously the main display ,
So the 2nd display , I could create and make it all one texture , So this texture you add to the files ,
You either see the display or you do not ,
And I think its possible to hide things in different views as well but not 100% sure of that ,

But apart from the extra polycount of the actual display itself , Maybe 5-6-7k poly , Unsure .
Then the fact that the coding is restricted and maybe 70% of it would be used on the main display ,
So the 2nd display would be primitive at that ,

Although it sounds like a good idea , for those that are 100% pure simracers ,
I think with more support for these features from Kunos , hopefully in the future we can add these features for you guys )
But we are just simply limited .

I am quite sure that on RD there is a really cool HUD project , Like a Motec display ,
You can just drag and drop anywhere on the screen ,
I have not tried it , But can remember seeing something here a while back :)
 
Too bad, that would be so awesome! I thank you for considering it. Would it be possible for a gear and shift LEDs at least? I know, I am a pain. Either way really looking forward to this beauty.

Thanks again

Hi Again ,
As I explained before in my last message , There is quite a few awesome HUD Displays ,
Here at RD ,
I have seen at least 3-4 different types over the years I thought personally was cool ,

I understand what you are saying with the displays have them dedicated to the mod ,
But if these things are not in reality on the car / cars ,

And you are running with no virtual wheel , meaning you must be running some kind of rig with steering wheel ect ,
This must have some basic info no ?

My last rig , I had all sorts of button boxes and displays and info :)

But here is something to what I was talking about :)

Will you make animations for the wings?
Hi )
I was playing with this idea a few days ago ,
It got all setup and I animated it inside 3DS Max ,

I asked a few various people regarding this ,
The census so far , and from @David Dominguez , Is that its buggy ,

Specially with something so complex as a G2 Front wing flap ,
upload_2017-4-26_18-21-51.png


If you see here ,
You can see the range / There is 33 positions ,
And using the 2nd Base position from the Axis point its doubled again ,
So in reality 66 different flap positions ,

But lets go off from what we can see ,

Now in max and ingame its fixed to where the placement bolt is what is highlighted in pink ,

Where this placement bolt is , there is 1 hole above it and 3 below it yes ,
I animated it 5 times , from top to bottom each time 4 frames , 20 frames in total ,

The problem is that , Unless in the settings it refers to a specific animation file , / ksanim
Which I am unsure of , its simply not realistic and not possible ,

Because if that pink placement bolt , is not in a hole on the wing , I would have nightmares ,
Its got to be 100% mm accurate , so when moving the wing in setup ,
It goes from one hole to another hole ,

Only way this can be achieved , is by using a specific ksanim file ,
But like I say , it needs more investigation regarding this ,

I dont fully understand every file and settings to make it work ,
If anyone knows I am all ears :)
 
nice but why are the dots in the middle not symetrical? one is bigger than the other one?
I do not know man to be honest , We do not even know who makes it ,
Like for example , the F1 Current rain lights that all the teams use ,
Is created by Mclaren Technologies , And all teams use this exact same rain light that they create ,
Same for the displays , Mclaren create this too ,
And many many many motorsport F1 parts all come direct from Mclaren Technologies ect ,

After so many hrs of searching over the last 6 weeks I simply gave up on it ,
Trying to find who makes it , Probably a first for me , Normally I am a PDF killer lol ,

Anyways so I ended up trying to find a 100% perfect rear view of the car ,
In which took a lot of searching to find and the RE Site as the best images out there ,
Really nice quality ,

I think the 3 in the center the 2 small and one slightly larger are just some kind of covers ,
Either for extra screw mounts ,
Or extra access to something , Maybe even a sensor of some type ,
One can only wonder ,
But nice question , Thanks for asking , This car as been a challenge to say the least ,
Everytime you look you find something new somehwere ,

Still things I am trying to find as well lol

After looking for endless days ,
This picture is the most detailed one I found , well closest at the highest resolution ,
I love the details of the lines in the glass , was soo excited when I found this image ,
As my other 7-8 are a few meters away , you can see all the screws and everything just the exact same ,
But not these lines in the glass , in which I am obviously going to add :)

This too as me wondering ,
Obviously I can make it from pictures I have better side shots , Just grabbed this to show ,
Anyways ,
I must have over 700 resources , pics / data / blueprints and such ,
From early 2011 to 2017 ,
After studying so many of these pics , 2015 DRS was added to G2 ,
And looking at earlier pics ,
This object I can not see in any earlier stuff ,
I have zero clue what it is ,
And have never seen any pics with any lights in it ,
To me looks like some kind of sensor or light warning system ,

Maybe because its close to the warning items for the marshall,s like in F1 ,
Maybe its some kind of DRS related electrical safety light ,

More excited wondering what it is lol ,
Obviously someone knows , But its all good fun and I have enjoyed trying to work it out :D:D

Always a good story regarding anything mysterious :geek:
