Released Luuks Drafting Mod [FEEDBACK THREAD] 1.7

Feedback thread for Luuks Drafting Mod

Hey everyone!
Today my drafting mod got approved on the repository, and consider it took a bit of tweaking to get the drafting feeling right, I felt it was a good idea to get some more feedback by those who tried it.

If you have any feedback for my drafting mod on how to make it feel better, whether the drafting is strong enough or drops off nicely, or any other suggestions, please leave them here!

Different wings make the slipstream different?

 

Not at the moment, no. I'm using the bounding box of the car instead of calcTotalAeroForces() for compatibility with an unreleased and WIP performance mod, and Automation vehicles. Maybe in the future I'll find a good solution, but it feels very nice right now anyway!

 

i download it but i have no idea how it works...

 

You just drive behind people and it gives you semi-realistic slipstream. It works in multiplayer too, but multicar drafting is coming in the next update. It's already uploaded, just waiting for approval.

 

i dont understand
What's the point of this mod?

 

It adds slipstream/drafting to BeamNG.Drive. I'm waiting for an update to get approved for multicar drafting, as I accidentally left that disabled in v1.1, but this adds some really nice depth to racing. We've already tried it in the R&R racing server, and it added so much fun and depth to the racing, I love it personally

 

like car slow when it near other car or what?

 

When you drive behind someone, depending on the angle, distance, frontal area and velocity of the cars involved, you get to speed up a little bit. It's like slipstreaming/drafting in real life

 

lucky4luuk updated Luuks Drafting Mod with a new update entry:

Hotfix for drafting multiple cars not working

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Sneak peek for v1.3, hopefully it gets approved soon:

 

the discord link does not work

 

Oops, the server had just lost their custom invite link. Fixed!

 

I voted on a discord that this is one of the best mods

 

Massively appreciated

 

is there a way to customize the strength of the draft? if not, is it planned?

 

It is very easy to add a multiplier for draft strength, but I haven't decided yet how I want to make this easily access by the client. I'm not sure if I can add like, a setting, or something like that. Maybe in v1.4 I'll add a nice way to modify the draft strength

 

That would be cool, hopefully he adds it
--- Post updated ---

You could make it so you bind a button to open some sort of menu

 

or a ui app

 

Hi awesome mod. Is there dirty air?
