Lore: Founded in 1972 by a close knit gathering of PHD chemistry students whom were looking to make an entry into the aerospace industry by developing lightweight and high strength atomic-oxygen-resistant polymers in a 2-car home garage, "Falconer Group" became "Falconeer Group" due to a misprint at a local patent office, and the misnomer stuck. After establishing their material science reputation within the aerospace industry over the decades, with freshly employed MIT engineering graduates, in 1996 the Falconeer Group shifted their passion to restoring and revitalizing popular and historic road cars from many different and well known manufacturers, with the first example being the "Dragon," which was finished a year later in 1997. In the 2000's, Falconeer eventually began designing and selling their own meticulously engineered high performance kit cars, and producing one-off and exorbitantly priced circuit focused hypercars sold to the highest bidders in the early 2000's until today. Features/Identity: -Drag Week inspired car that is still streetable, but boogies on a strip. -Methanol fueled 1,995HP 6.4L OHV Twin Turbo V8 with a lot of low-end. -RWD 4-speed Manual (Sequential in appearance, but I don't like Automation's current equivalent). -Has ABS, but you are the traction control. -Detailed Interior with roll cage. -Well behaved and stays straight, pretty easy to drive. -Capable of a consistent 6.5-6.6 second quarter mile with a little practice. -Direct export out of Automation without any file tinkering. -Tow hitch Driving tips: -To launch: 100% throttle max RPM until boost is fully built, then quickly dump the clutch. Easy. -For wheel users, slipping the clutch and launching in 2nd is a good strategy to reduce shift time loss as well. -It needs a bit of wheelspin on launch, if it hooks it will wheelie down the entire strip or backflip. -Yes, you can actually wheelie down the entire strip with some practice and luck. Quirks: -In 4th gear at 25-40mph, it will make classic "cam lope" sounds which shake the whole car. Fun. -I recommend trying the tow hitch, 4th gear trailer burnouts at highway speeds are hilariously jank. -Has legendarily bad wheel hop during aggressive high speed braking and long burnouts, FFB wheel users be wary. 6.508 is my fastest 1/4th, with 15 PSI rear, 40 PSI front, and no other changes. You can probably beat my time, give it a crack, and tell me if you'd like to see more from Falconeer (I have about 10 more similarly detailed cars ready to upload if there's a want).
Good job! Great mod, solid interior. But i feel like the windows should be a bit more tinted, it just looks like it got no windows at some angles, but i know its not your fault automation windows suck. Overall great job! Keep up the good work
Appreciate you checking it out and the kind words/constructive criticism! I also agree about the windows now that you mention it, I always untint them while working in Automation and forget to dial it back in. I also accidentally switched the rear grill fixture and noticed it clipping into the tail lights, so onto posting up Rev.2 with fixes! Here are the next 3 cars I'm putting finalizing touches on and getting ready to upload. All had suspension tuned and developed on the Nurburgring (the prototype will run sub 6 minute Nordschleife laps!!), and feel GREAT with a racing wheel: I'm hoping to become someone to look out for for quality Automation mods that both look and drive great!
No problem, i can see that you spend a lot of time and effort into these mods, you will definitely one day become someone to look out for great automation mods, that might even be soon! keep up the great work!
Nice job! Nice interior and exterior, not to mention that I've had lots of fun trying it in a drag race! My best time was 6.841 seconds in 1/4 mile. Love this drag racer, this is 10/10!
I definitely do spend a lot of time and effort, and I have now posted another one up, since no one's trying to stop me Very happy you enjoyed it as much as I do, thanks for the input and for checking it out. I just added another release I personally enjoy even more than this one if you'd like to give it a drive.
