LEAN ANGLE CALCULATION TO FIX BODY POSITION
First things first: body position in motogp 17 is wrong. I'll show why.
Here you can see Jorge Lorenzo riding his 2016 Yamaha in a breathtaking shot

The lean angle is calculated from the vertical line to the ground line. The ground line is easly found by drawing a straight line from the knee (touching the ground) and the contact point of the front tyre. In this shot the ground line has 0.5° of inclination.
The total lean angle is 90° - (32.4° - 0.5°) = 58.1°

Now the same reasoning can be applied to the game: the ground line is more inclined (4.7° from the orizontal line) giving a total lean angle of 58.5°

Even if the lean angle of the bike copies pretty well the real one, the body is in a completely wrong position.
It's clear when you overlap the pictures one on top of the other.

Mega question: where is the file to change body position? I'm sure there is one, but I didn't find it.

Cheers

That's the animation, you have to edit the anim file if you want the rider to behave differently. I'm not sure it can be done though

I've relased a small playable preview of the PFTM, have a look into the download section
It's a demo playable with only 3 bikes (Aprilia motogp, KTM moto2 and Leopard moto3), to receive your feedbacks and improve it.

Cheers

Hmmm .... adding MotoGP2016.mix to MGP17 ... ez

Dirty Dovi^^

Wonder how it is ride Ducati on dirt-track, do you have video ReZ?
Have you tried to implement Ride2 bikes in MotoGP'17? Then some modders would be able to make SBK mod

Get Alex Barros on Pramac Ducati and let's battle with Stoner in Mugello once again!

sorry since nvidia decided to put a forced login to geforce-exp / shadowplay ... i don't have anything to record without heavy framedrops
MGP bikes ride pretty normal on Flattrack , because they do not use the FT-Tyres.
on the MGP2016 bike ... i somehow cannot get the sound to work, tried to borrow the sounds from ingame ducatis, but i seem to miss one file entry to activate it for 2016 duc.
importing flattrack bikes already failed hard ... and ride2 bikes will be even bigger challange i guess

Can you import helmets of MotoGP 16 to mgp17? I try it but my game crash

 

[ReZ]

i could try again... on first attempt the helmets were invisble... but all the names for the equipment from vrtg is still in the textfiles (menu.mix) - so i could already see the names and choose them in menu...they just did not show up :/

Milestone let all the VR46 Helmets in MotoGP17, so no need to import....
Only problem, atm you can't choose via menu, maby DLC content??? How knows.

But you can easily change skins (depends on helmetmodel) by renaming helmet/visor DDS files...

hm maybe you need to edit more stuff in data.mix and gfxgem.mix to make them selectable in the menu, on my attempt i just added some agv helmets and could select them in the menu...compare VRTGs files ...DB_Equipmentitems.bml and gameentityhelmets. etc etc etc. you need to add a lot of entries to make the old helmets appear in the selection.

Does anyone know how to add colour slot to custom livery? I've just tried to make Fiat Yamaha for customs, but this livery has only 2 colour slots where I need 3

DB_CustomLiveries.bml -> there is a parameter "CustomizableAreas" for every livery, on the stanley dewalt you will need to change the number from 2 -> 3 ... and you got your extra colour slot

Has someone managed to make a good spline for AI at Biondetti chicane in Mugello?

I can have a look.
What's exactly the issue?
