For me the driving feelings seem close to F1600 in nKPro.

A big thumb up.

Many:thanks: Gunthar, I was sure that was Formula Ford you were preparing !
Formula Ford was at the time the nearly obliged passage for beginning Formula drivers to enter the higher formula's ...

i think some of the skins are messed up. check the dds files

I just install the mod as I uploaded and it has all the skins working... Maybe delete the Formula Ford folder and reinstall to stop clashes with the older beta you had mate...

Specifications
Formula Ford racing cars are designed to comply with a strict set of rules which are revised annually. The rules for Formula Ford racing cars ensure that costs are limited and that driver skill becomes the major factor in achieving success. For technical regulations, please click here
Chassis:	Tubular space frame (exotic materials prohibited) construction confined to maximum dimension. Constructors aim to maximise torsional rigidity and minimize weight while maintaining the highest level of driver safety.
Engine:	1600cc, 100ps DOHC four-cylinder Ford Fiesta engine, sealed on cylinder head and front and rear crankshaft seal covers. Developing 81kW the engine is tuned to develop 125 bhp at 7,000rpm. All components and measurements are specified and the Formula benefits from the worldwide parts support provided by the Ford Motor Company.
Steering:	Rack and pinion
Suspension:	Front & Rear - pushrod activated dual damper system. Full racing car suspension designs are required to ensure maximum tyre grip at various cornering speeds. Chassis balance is adjustable and controlled by damper, spring and anti-roll bar combinations.
Brakes:	Four-wheel disc brakes have independent front and rear activation. Front/rear bias is adjustable.
Gearbox:	Limited to 4 forward and 1 reverse gear. Ratios can be changed to suit various circuits and conditions.
Fuel tank:	41-litre
Tyres:	Front & rear - 5.5 in Avon (ACB10) tyres. A grooved Avon racing tyre is chosen for optimum grip under all weather conditions. The Avon tyre and compound are specified, ensuring an economical wear rate.
Aerodynamic Devices:	Not allowed. Down force is limited to the combination of chassis design/set-up and tyre grip, together with the natural forces of gravity.
Weight:	495kg with driver
Top speed:	250 km/h (approx)
Driver Protection	Side protection structures (sidepods) constructed from materials designed to crumple on impact and reduce the risk of driver injury in a side collision were introduced to the category in 1997. The size of the cockpit opening has been increased to allow for the quick exit of the vehicle in an emergency. On-board fire extinguishing systems, roll-over hoops and additional protection around the drivers' legs provide increased driver protection.

and with no wings they will be different to the bmw, understeer and oversteer will be much more noticable. And there seems to be many models over the years http://www.ff1600.org.au/gallery/gallery/2004-championship-gallery.html

this is the basics of the specs I used to develop the physics...

... The cars look too square (although there maybe not much you can do about that), ...

Been trying to download this for a couple of days but get a invalid file ID message?

 

[Nick Deeley]

Not quite at the same camera level, but its the same car/driver (same circuit too) but hopefully you can see where I'm coming from

try from NG

 

[Günthar Rowe]

I couldn't do much with the nose of the car.

 

[Nick Deeley]

Ahh right, thought so. I dont know much about modding, what kinda things can you do then? What about the wheelbase as it seems shorter in my photo than the game? Or the engine cover?

 

[Craig Stevenson]

try from NG

Link appears fixed now, just downloaded fine, I couldn't see it on NG.............getting used to new glasses

 

[Günthar Rowe]

Hello!

Thank you for this mod. I am loving this and the Formula Fords, such racing fun I have not had in years!

I have a slight problem with these V8's, which is probably due to me being a fairly rubbish driver, but I'm really struggling with the braking. The brakes are working, but seem remarkably ineffective (to me!) compared to the power of the car. I'm certain thats just the way they are, so can anyone help me so I don't go arrowing off at every bend? I watched Bathurst 1000 last night, and they certainly had no problem slowing down for those 90 degree turns.

Thanks again for this wonderful mod!

Cheers!

Amblin

Which car(s) is not showing up in custom skins for you that was before?

 

[Günthar Rowe]

you must remember that these cars weigh over 1400kg, thats 200kg more than the SimBin GTPro with 600hp and smaller tyres and brakes. secret is to brake early and get turned in and themget the power on as soon as you can...

 

[KieferDJW]

Even there are not so much cars, that would need it, but could you plz include more RPM then 9000?
Or maybe a second one?
