Cars Jaguar XJ13 1967 W.I.P.

Next release will be quite improved.

Also thanks to Kunos Jag will have less jagged lines, and cleaner in general. Also plus because shader tweaks.

Also reworked rimblur and knockoffsblur. To more intense. Previous was like for 50-70km/h now it should fit to decent speed.

few more screens just because why not

TWEAK MOD EVERYDAY !

0.9 RELESE DIS FRYDAY !

No seriously, this time in decent way !

0.9 will be released this Friday !

With better modelling, physics tweaks, better sound, and skins !

Work:

This gave an idea to make headlight cover to emit some light too, but I'm unsure about it because it looks not entirely realistic from front, and especially in bright clear weather, however I like the effect. Is this because of dark weather, or these are headlights on max power ?

Result:

Seems realistic for strong lights

Tell me, deciding on this...

Plus. My favorite skin yet, @NightEye87

Colors always seems to looks strange in hangar showroom, but seems to be alright.

BY THE WAY ! Goodwood Revival is this weekend

Really nice to see when good things come together ...

Looking gooooooooood.

As far as physics tweaks go, basically I just fixed the LUT call in the tire file and squared up the camber adjustment ranges. I've also taken my first shot at brake disc temperatures, but for now it's very hard to overheat them so it's basically just something to warm up on your outlap along with the tires. (Please don't consider that feature "final" in any way. Along with the tires, it's likely to change when the official GT40 gets updated.)

If anyone has other suggestions or observations on the physics side, between now and Thursday would be the ideal time to bring them up.

YES PLEASE

A shame the skins look dark in there. They look a bit weird inside the "preview showroom" aswell sadly. Ingame, I can assure the crowd they all look nice

Reposting from AC official forum, screenshots thread.

Showcasing XJ. With some mediocore screenshots and poor Photoshop tweaks using cropping and leveling.

In new showroom by x4fab, darkened a bit using levels modifier.

And spun at Silverstone Intenational. Jag is waiting for classic silverstone 67'. It was exact year when it was tested there.

Little story goes (no rimblur because 12x slowmotion + f8) :

This must be good combo ! ^^^^^^^

Thanks, NightEye. But am I the only one who can't enter ? No checksum or something, it just brings me back to the menu.

Stunning update, truly amazing to drive and equally so to look at.
Only small criticism is the door handle cutout bit looks a bit unfinished compared to the rest, otherwise... pretty close to perfection

Dave_6 · Sep 9, 2016

^Which track is that?

Don't think I can say yet... what I can say is the above track and car are a perfect match, they go lovely together.

Dave_6 · Sep 9, 2016

Ah ok

Looks fun just from those couple of curves.

mantasisg · Sep 9, 2016

Wow, in your screens it used to look worse than on mine, but now it is nicer than on my computer

I'm very glad that it is so. Door handle cutout is nearly sharp in real life, but not completely, could use just a little roundness.

First thing I thought was - Charade ! But second thought - I don't know what it is, but it sure does look immersive and Jag is at home there.

garyjpaterson · Sep 9, 2016

Hopefully we'll see a WIP thread over here soon for the track - its not mine, I've just done a little testing on it.

NightEye87 · Sep 9, 2016

I'm sorry. Everything appears to be fine, but I cannot join myself either. I'll try and work out what the problem is. For now, sadly, it's offline

mantasisg · Sep 9, 2016

Hopefully we'll see that thread, because I'm curious as hell now.

Thats alright NightEye, it can be done later. I wish though

I'm very thankful for nice intentions.

raikko49 · Sep 10, 2016

I love your update, keep working ! This car is really awesome to drive !

LilSki · Sep 11, 2016

Been busy with RIR and VIR stuff last few days but I finally got a chance to try the update out. This car is really coming together nicely! You really should be proud of such an accomplishment for your first car. This is a must have for anybody who is a fan of vintage cars.

Absolutely! It's fantastic to drive and a real challenge - I love it. I wish we had more cars like this in AC; hats off to you, sir!

The only thing that stood out to me whilst driving it is the particularly loud 'CLICK!' each time you change gear. Now I've noticed it I can't seem to 'un-hear' it

Everything else is just fab though - thank you for all your hard work!

(Btw, the unknown track in Gary's post is my WIP - an old German track from 1939 that is a great match for this car)
