Dream Team for the F1 Ghost SFA Collaboration: Elflab – The Visionary and Performance Expert: Elflab is the one who created the original mod and crafted the car’s performance dynamics. He’s the expert on how the car behaves, its physics, and handling. He would continue to oversee the core design and performance tuning of the car. Role in the Collaboration: Maintain and refine the vehicle’s physics and driving experience while coordinating with TDev, Pavel, and Fillman86 on how the aesthetics can align with the car’s technical side. Fillman86 – The Chassis and Technical Specialist: Fillman86 created the original chassis, so he’d be great at refining and adjusting the structural elements of the car, as well as helping to integrate any additional components to enhance its aesthetic appeal. Role in the Collaboration: Work on the overall car structure (chassis, bodywork) while ensuring that the technical integrity of the car remains consistent with the original vision. TDev – The Physics and Suspension Guru: As a master of vehicle dynamics, TDev would help improve the suspension mechanics and realistic movement of the car. He’d also assist in making sure that the force feedback is well-tuned, ensuring that the driving experience matches the real-world feel of an F1 car. Role in the Collaboration: Focus on refining the suspension dynamics (movement, compression, and handling) and testing how the car behaves under different conditions, making sure that performance and suspension visuals are in perfect sync. Pavel – The Visual Artist: Pavel would bring his artistic skills to refine the visuals of the car. His expertise would help make the suspension system look stunning, ensuring that every component, from the shock absorbers to the springs and suspension arms, is finely detailed and realistic. Role in the Collaboration: Handle all things visual, including high-quality textures, 3D models, and suspension animations. He would bring a high level of realism to the aesthetic side, making sure the car looks just as stunning as it handles. How Elflab Could Lead the Project: Elflab would still be the visionary behind the project, keeping the focus on authentic F1 handling and core performance. He could lead the direction of the car’s design, ensuring that the new visual enhancements don’t compromise the car’s identity. By working closely with the other modders, Elflab could ensure the collaboration stays true to the original vision while elevating the mod with expert-level visuals, suspension systems, and textures. The Collaboration Workflow: Initial Vision & Core Features: Elflab continues to work on the core mechanics and handling, ensuring that the car’s performance is spot on. He could mentor the other modders on the specifics of how the car should feel on the road. Visual Refinement: Pavel and TDev would then come in to refine the suspension, geometry, and material textures. They can ensure the suspension components look as realistic as the car handles, while keeping Elflab’s input at the forefront of the design. Testing & Iteration: The mod could go through various rounds of community testing, where the performance is fine-tuned by Elflab and TDev, while Pavel gets feedback on visual tweaks. They could release beta versions for feedback and continue to polish the realism of the car’s suspension movement and visual quality. Final Integration: Once everything is refined, Elflab could finalize the mod, ensuring that the core experience is preserved while the car’s aesthetics match its technical prowess. Why This Collaboration Would Be So Powerful: Balanced Vision: Having Elflab as the leader ensures that the core experience stays true to his original work, while the team focuses on enhancing it visually. This keeps the project grounded in the original vision while allowing the mod to evolve. Expertise in Every Area: Combining performance, suspension dynamics, visual fidelity, and realism in this way creates a truly high-quality mod that appeals to both technical players and visual enthusiasts. Community Engagement: With such a talented team, the community will likely see regular updates, behind-the-scenes progress, and early access testing, all of which would generate excitement and help the mod gain traction. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS FAR...IF YOU´VE GOT ANY SUGESTIONS, JUST GIVE US A SHOUT, THEY WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED ***** I NEED HELP TO TAKE THIS MOD TO THE NEXT LEVEL (BeamNG.drive Official) AND I WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU GUYS ***** https://www.beamng.com/resources/f1-ghost-sfa.31876/
This Project Started in December 2023 as a joke. After many "technical issues" a Fairy told me to do research about F1 cars and somehow gave me strength to return to the Project and actually do something with it. In August 2024 a new version emerged from the rabbit hole and now in 2025 we finally have something very close to the real thing. I hope you like it so far and if you do don´t be shy and give us a thumbs up. Peace and Much Love
