WIP Beta released Civetta Bolide 'Corse' 1.01

Thanks for advice!
--- Post updated ---

Yeah I took the photo from my iPhone, and I didn't think of that at the time.

 

Why would anyone buy a supercar to go up dirt tracks?

 

Anyone know of a quick ratio drift steering mod that will work with this? Im able to drift it fairly well after alot of messing around with the tuning, but its not easy to kick it out as is, i have to be REALLY delicate.

 

Awesome! I love driving it! My first reaction to the turbo lag was that I was confused
"Alright! F40!"
"Sounds great!"
Launch:
This is so sl-
"OHMYGODSOMUCHBOOSTSUDDENLY"

Just like the real 80's supercar!

 

I love this mod. It's very rewarding to drive fast, and slower. None of this is complaining, but just suggestions, that I would fix myself if I knew how to do it, like you do.

Firstly, it would be nice to make a 7 spd tranny, that is only acessable through the parts menu (not in a config) that has stock gearing except for a granny gear as first. The benefit to this is people with a button clutch, can drive it with clutch without having to rev to 5k rpm to not stall when starting from a stop.

One final fix, that I don't know if it is on purpose or not, is that the front blinkers don't work for me. There's my 5 cents for tonight.

Please consider, and ask if you have Questions. Thanks.

 

Rev matching on this car is a pain in the ass.

 

This does an excellent job of capturing the look of the F40 and similar wedge shaped supercars, and I like the general handling. Feels mostly what I'd expect an F40 Bolide hybrid to handle like, and it's fun to race or try and drift without spinning.

I would say it seems to have power delivery issues if it's going for F40 handling though, especially with the Competizione/LM. The turbo spools up so fast in the middle RPMs and lags so excessively before that point that accelerating lightly through corners is obnoxiously touchy and feels like an on-off switch through only a 5%-10% range of the gas pedal, which makes the good handling and slip angles moot since you can't ease into even light throttle with much confidence. It also bogs down so much in lower RPMs. You'd expect some bogging down before the boost kicks in, but the power curve before boost is more of a flatline at 60 hp and stays there even going past 40 mph in 2nd gear, bad enough to make it matched with the Covet Beater in acceleration before boost. It just feels kind of exaggerated.

The standard Corse has a nicer general feel though since the power surge is more manageable, and the handling of the Competizione besides that is also really good. I did five laps around Hirochi with the Competizione and a bit of drifting with the standard model.

 

This car snap over steers HARD!

 

Keep in mind this is based somewhat on an 80s supercar/race car. In the 80s turbos were laggy like this, especially high boost ones. Nowadays we have turbos spooling at 1000rpm and redlines around 6k, but that's simply not how it was in the past. I don't think it's that unrealistic, although my only comparison is the f40 competizione (or whatever it's called) in Forza.
Another more recent example is the Evo 8 or 9 with 400ish hp they tested on Top Gear against a Fiat Stilo or something. Low rpm with big turbo car with a high(-ish) redline simply doesn't work well. The only thing that might be a bit "unrealistic" is how fast it goes from no boost to full boost, but I'm not sure how this was on the real car.

 

@Neidjel Yeah, I'd call it more an exaggerated characteristic than completely unrealistic. The F40 was generally described as feeling like a fairly normal car in power at low RPMs before boost, even specified as the range below 3000 RPM specifically in one review. That would be closer to 85+ hp at least with a slower but steadily climbing power curve before the turbos kick in, which would definitely out-accelerate a beater Covet (a below average car) and still be enough to get through moderate hairpins in second gear. It's hard to find comprehensive dyno charts for such a rare car, and especially an LM version, but this chart of a standard F40 with an estimated dotted line to 3k RPM about matches that expectation.


There's also a fair amount of F40 LM onboard footage on YouTube, and this one is probably the best in that you can actually see how a skilled driver is applying the throttle and actively hear the steady progression of the turbos spooling.


I don't think the Corse needs to try and match the F40's power curves 1:1 or have the exact same characteristics, I just think its turbo and engine traits could be fine-tuned to handle track driving with more confidence.

 

Can you make the steering faster

 

Tow hitch needs offset outwards. It sits halfway into the tailcone and towing dents the rear slightly

 

I doubt anyone has ever bought a Ferrari F40 with a thought:" Man, I wish I could tow something with this"

 

I’m weird. I’d put an f40 on swamp tires if I was given the chance

 

is there a way I can have pop up headlights on this?

 

If you make them by yourself

 

this is an amazing mod probably one of the best looking cars thing the game!
