1 ) convert the engine primary ratio from a single value to two gears. For example:
Ratio = 3 -> ratio0 = 25, 75
It's possible to have up to 5 ratios ( ratio0 to ratio4 ) and set it in the garage.
2 ) move pressure and tyre heater data from the "wheel" sections of the CFG file to the TYRE files, so that each tyre can have an optimal pressure range and pre-heating temperature.
3 ) create a new CFG file for the tyre sets, and change the bike CFG to point to it. Several changes are needed, it's better to look at one of the stock bikes for reference.
4 ) it's possible to add fork offset setting in the "steer" section.
5 ) now settings in "front_suspension" are for a single fork only, and then doubled. This means that spring and damper stiffness must be halved. And the area, too.
If the bike only has one shock ( some scooters, for example ), add "MonoShock = 1" in the "front_suspension" section.
6 ) For classic bikes with dual suspension at the rear, it is possible to set a single spring and damper adding "TwinShock = 1" in the "rear_suspension" section.
7 ) It is also possible to add ride height setting for front and rear.
8 ) In the GEOM file, collision data must be changed. The new format should be more user friendly until the Bike Editor will be changed to edit it.
Please note that the boxes angles are no more set as slope, but are now degrees.
9 ) The geometry of the rear suspension must be changed. The best option is probably to start copying and pasting from one of the stock bikes, and then editing the points in the Bike Editor.
this is very kind and useful for the modders I think so thankyou!
Thank you Piboso, really appreciate this. 8)
Hawk.
PS: Maybe this should be made a temp sticky thread so it doesn't get lost? ;)
Really good news and more practical "settings" (2,4,5,6,7) now. Really good and serious work. ;D
Big Thank you!
Thanks a lot. Seems a good step forward.
In addition to the "Linkage Rod Chassis" and "Linkage Rocker Chassis" featured on the stock bikes, it's also possible to use the "Classic" rear suspension geometry.
With that, you only need the "shock_chassis" and "shock_swingarm" points.
