I guess the 'good' thing is that adding the 67 Cougar, 69 Javelin and other cars should be pretty easy. I won't go into the engine details since they are different in the game, not accurate, but different. while Gurney went with a more conventional rear suspension'. o-auction/ 'Caldwell insisted on a Can-Am-style rear suspension setup applied to the Challenger’s live axle. That's disturbing to me since not all the cars have the same track, width and length and those locations are dependent on the center of the model.Įven the Challenger and Cuda had different suspensions. Everything else? Differential locations and weight, spindle location and weight, all the same. Most have it 1.095 and a couple other have it at 1.085. I checked the suspension files of all the cars and they are all the same except for steering arm location. It would be neat to run the cars as they were (aka Daytona being slicker than the Charger but having less ballast to move around so it sucks on short tracks, Daytona and Superbird having adjustable wings, Ford/Merc having more HP, etc).įound something interesting about the Historix mod. All cars are the same and if Denis gave permission to convert it, I'll ask him if we can work on it to make the cars accurate and host it for d/l here. If anybody has knowledge to share on modding, join in!! I found the GN69-70 mod for rFactor too. I'm using the historix trans am tires for testing since they are bias ply (evidenced by their 40+ psi?) and I'd expect the car to be all over the place slamming the brakes at 140mph. I can be going 140 and slam the brakes to the floor and I come to a nice, smooth stop whether I have the brake torque at 450 or 2000.

And I have yet to be able to get the brakes to lock up. Engine torque curves are fun to work with but I can't seem to get a clutch setting that will allow the tires to spin. I'm running 250` oil with 210` water temp and need to get those to exchange 10` more for it to be perfect. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get the oil to water heat exchange better. I've found some mods that have graphics for cars but their physics need work (seems everyone thinks every car ever made is 3200#, 500 HP and has a drag coefficient of. If anybody has the desire to work on cars, let me know. Here is a link that is helpful in understanding how to mod rFactor.
