RFETireModel is a client-side plugin to enhance the current rfactor’s tire model. Basic physics are still being calculated by gmotor, and additional calculation and graphical adjustments are done by the plugin.

Plugin release details:

- No download links for now.
- To be released before March.

Features 1.0

- Tyre radius change due to tread wear.
- Tyre wear enhancements (both physical and visual).
- Tyre flatspotting (both physical and visual).
- Server side plugin for tyre rules control on multiplayer games.

For those asking for physics, I can tell you that driving with a flatspot is hard as hell.. In this video you can see (sorry, you can’t feel the FFB ) some of the consequences of driving with a flatspot tire with this plugin (Note that the "flat" results have been increased x5 for the video):
– Car falls down (literally) due to the changes in the geometry of the wheel because of the flatspot.. The FFB feeling is not just a simple rumble.
– The tire offers more resistance to rolling on the flatspotted area, that means more probability of flatspotting again in the same area of the tire the next time
– The temperature and wear of the tire are also affected because of the friction.

As said, more information soon.. Thanks for understanding what WIP means.

Another information - later.

The camera shaking in rF2, is very bad, it give nausea, make the viewing of the track difficult and it's not even realistic of what a drive see when he drives.

Slightly Mad Studios have released a new development build of their WMD-powered Project CARS title, adding new content and plenty of improvements to the title.

The new build makes the Ariel Atom V8 as well as a first version of Silverstone available to all members with Team Member status and above.

Build 134 and a subsequently released patch also majorly improves the title’s force feedback system so all Project CARS members are strongly advised to check out the changes in the new builds. Both build 134 and the patch build 135 are available to download for Team Members and above.

I’ve had a few days spare to play around with the recent rFactor2 release, and pretty much used up all my spare time now. So I’ve decided to push out what I’ve managed so far with my Putnam Park conversion from my original scratch build for rFactor. Find details below.

Fixes:
Previous version wasn’t deleting its temp files – sorry!
(you can go and delete any .ldtemp files you find in your log folder, MoteC doesn’t use them)

Changes:
+ Added most of the new data in rF2′s plugin interface, but there are some caveats:
+ Filtered input can now be logged. You can see autoblip & autolift, speed limiter, and probably also TC on the throttle trace, ABS effects will be seen on braking (I think!), steering input is affected by steering help and maybe sensitivity etc. I’m not sure how useful this is so you can choose in the .ini file whether to log the raw inputs as before, the new filtered ones (which will appear as the normal input channels in MoteC), or both (Filtered inputs are new channels, and you’ll have to add them to graphs yourself).
+ Wheel Toe and Camber is logged – unfortunately rF2 is currently returning 0 for all camber values.
+ Steering input is now a percentage of full lock. In rF1 I was grabbing the current setup steering lock from memory and producing a steered angle from it, but you should be able to use the average of FL and FR Toe values to get an accurate steered angle figure (MoteC’s built-in ‘Oversteer’ Maths will use it).
+ Aerodynamics figures (drag, front/rear downforce, front wing height, front/rear height) can be logged, but again this is optional and off by default. I’ve assumed N for the forces.
+ Contact patch details are referenced and now logged (lateral and longitudinal velocities for both the ground at the contact patch and the contact patch itself)… but always return 0 from rF2. Even if it worked I would wonder how useful it would be for setting up a car, but if it ever gets switched on you can log it if you want.
+ ‘Brake Pressure’ for each wheel; the files (ISI) say this is a percentage figure at the moment, so they will represent the current brake balance and pedal position. Expected to switch to kPa later on, I’ll update the unit then.
+ Other new channels: Suspension force for each wheel, front and rear third spring deflection.
