[lmp] [tou] [gtc] Project "New Direction"

Post by Haruna »

I threw out the old GRM physics. They're gone, because quite frankly they SUCK and I HATE THEM.

New Direction puts fun and realism back in the car physics.

Revisions were made.

Notes
- As with Generally Motorsport, New Direction also uses a performance index system (PI) to measure a vehicle's overall performance. The classes and their respective ranges are:
  • Common: Under 251
    Evolved: 251~350
    Super: 351~450
    Ultimate: 451~549
    R3: 550~649
    R2: 650~799

    R1: 800~999
- Cars are also rated in five key areas on a 1 to 10 scale in Launch (ability to quickly start), Top Speed (peak speed), Cornering (how fast the car can take corners), Aerodynamic Grip (high speed cornering), and Tire Grip (low speed cornering).
- Braking distances are VERY long: drive more cautiously than you would with a normal GR car! McTurbo fans may be familiar with the way these cars drive.
- Downforce is significantly higher on race cars than in any GRM version, which means you can take fast turns at fast speed.
- Cars are released in various states of finish:
  • Alpha1: First model version, probably really glitchy. Physics may be revised, and car does not have custom sounds.
    Alpha2: Improved model with less glitching. Physics more or less done. If it has a custom sound, it'll likely be a placeholder.
    Beta1: Model is finished. Physics are more or less done. Sounds are placeholders.
    Beta2: Pretty much all done unless someone points out a game-breaking glitch.
- ALL cars will be posted in this thread.
- WET WEATHER SUPPORT!!!! Race on wet tracks using Longbow's Rain Palette!
- Note: This project still uses the GRM sound pack.

List of Cars
Cars are listed by make first, then by performance index starting with the lowest.

Mazda 787B '91
gr-nd-787b.png
gr-nd-787b.png (3.33 KiB) Viewed 3638 times
700 BHP from 2.6 turbocharged quad-rotor wankel engine
Drag Coefficient: 0.67 Cx
Curb Weight: 830 kilograms
Weight Distribution: 49%/51% f/r (estimated)
330 mm / 350 mm wide racing tires f/r
Wheelbase: 2660 mm
Width: 1994 mm
1247 lbs of downforce @ 200 km/h
Ratings Breakdown:
Launch: 9.9 / 10 (-0.1)
Top Speed: 5.8 / 10
Cornering: 8.9 / 10
Aerodynamic Traction: 6.0 / 10 (+0.3)
Tire Traction: 9.7 / 10 (-0.3)
PI 946 / R1 Class (-30 PI)

WHY DID THE 787B's PI FALL?
It's outclassed by newer cars in cornering.
Also, this car is incredibly hard on tires - whereas most of the current R1s can go around 30 or more laps around the average WS255 track without too much wear at 1% wear rate, this one will chew through tires in about half that time.

(edit: fixed a derp in engine specs)

I republished all of the current cars posted due to a flaw in the old PI system.

Cars under this new PI system are tagged [ND2]. Please discard old versions accordingly.
