Civetta Bolide

No, stupid questions doesn't excist. Stupid answers do excist though.

 

You provide the second part to the statement by spelling exist wrong

 

That sounds briliant! Can you show us some screenshots of the rim/tire damage soon?

 

And maybe some cool explanation on how it works, if you guys have time for it/feel like it... I love reading that kind of stuff Sounds cool man!

 

Agreed. I'd also be keen on seeing comparisons/improvements over RoR's. It always annoyed me how tires would suddenly get super grippy when they're rotating on the sidewalls, due to more nodes touching the ground at once. I'm hoping that the improved tire model in BeamNG would fix this.

 

I hope that the overall handling of the cars would be way better and way more realistic than the handling in RoR

 

Flat tires FTW!
Can we PLEASE get a screenshot? just one? It doesn't take long to post a picture.

 

Well now that is just fancy. Well done to you all!

 

Sounds fantastic, always great to hear about the progression of the game, keep it up guys !

 

Is it still possible for the tires to do the weird stretch/tear thing from RoR if they're put under too much tension? I know no code is shared but since BeamNG uses the same skeleton idea I assume certain things could happen again.

 

So nice to hear that. I hated when in rigs of rods it did matter how fast you crash the tires did broke fully.

 

I am VERY excited for this game. Also, i can wait. The progress you've made is amazing. I honestly thought more people would be interested in this game. Anyways, fantastic job on the wheels, from what I hear there more succesful than the old ones.

Looked at some group-B rally and saw a Lancia 037 and it reminded me of Civetta Bolide. I wold love to see a group-B variant of that car!

Something like this, with a rear and front spoiler and some vents and of course a massive turbo and plenty off power. 350 hp and 900kg sounds good to me

Hi guys I'm only new, but I noticed something with the way this car handles.

Once you're doing a fair bit of speed (say 130kmh+) this car seems to pull to one side. I don't know if it's tyre physics, or if the Aero of the car (generating lift & causing loss of traction @ speed? Sideways push?) is causing this sliding, but it currently feels very broken to me. None of the other cars seem to have this issue (but a lot of them can't go as quick as this either!)

Is it a known issue/being worked on/ etc etc

 

Yeah, I noticed this myself. It's getting worked on, for sure.

 

That is officially my favorite line!

 

Yeah no worries Gabester, I had a feeling that would be the case. Tyre physics are the Holy Grail of racing sim developers. I think the best one (personally) is still LFS (Live for Speed). They are still trying to perfect it, and it's been many many years.

pCars is getting closer...but still a ways to go yet.

I think it's also a matter of having the surface it contacts correct too.

In DRIVE, it almost seems like the contact patch of the tyre engages/disengages with the ground sometimes. (try on flat grid Terrain, you will see the skid marks sometimes become seperate dots, rather than a continuous drag mark)
If that is to do with the way the tyre is modelled, it may be a big issue. If the tyre CAN make a continuous mark, but isn't contacting the road due to insufficient damping/spring rates, thats a whole different problem, and possibly easier to fix...

Sorry to ramble, just thinking out loud

Love the game guys, I see a lot of potential here!
