Title: It's almost time...
Post by: PiBoSo on April 06, 2018, 10:21:02 PM
... to release GP Bikes on Steam.

However, in addition to the x64 build and improved netcode, it needs new and better content.
Starting with a middle-class bike, that would also be used as the demo bike for the standalone version.

Now the question is: could you please post all the data you have on a 2018 Moto2?
Schematics, blueprints, wheelbase, length, width, height, engine torque curve, ... Anything is useful.

Thanks in advance.

Wow!

This is big news and very good to hear!! ;D

One Question. Why not get the jump on the next generation of M2 bikes? Or is it purely for the data required?

Fair enough

Also- https://moto2.teamtech3.fr/index.php/bike

Maybe worth emailing some of the smaller teams for info. I can't imagine them not giving you basic information.

Probably not a dyno readout but the engines are a modified CBR600RR engine but are still around the 130-140 BHP mark.

Post by: PiBoSo on April 06, 2018, 10:45:24 PM

It's actually quite difficult to imagine someone in a team wasting time to give detailed technical data to a complete stranger for nothing in return...

If someone here by accident knows anyone in a team however... A long stretch, but maybe...  :-[

That is a very good point!  ;)

I presume the Steam Workshop will be used to subscribe and install mods for the Steam version of GPBikes? But will we still be able to install other modded content files manually into the Steam installation of GPBikes without any issues?

Don't hold your breath Matty....... Game-Ripped content is not allowed on the Steam workshop, and although people might get away with it for a while, it won't be long before that content is taken down by Valve.

Speak to Meyer about the M3 Bike ;)

And there are others on the fourm who ride them (not sure quite who though)
Title: Re: It's almost time...
Post by: Alone on April 08, 2018, 04:19:37 PM
Yes, Meyer has some info. Our bikes from 2014 are done with real data, and some things doesnt change too much from then, specially in ktm.

Here is a dyno of a ktm from 2017 CEV (the intact team one)
http://www.fimcevrepsol.com/en/riders/teams-community :)

And here the owners manual of 2014 ktm

It's almost time... to make you pay for the same game twice?

Let us know what your plan is.
The one thing I ask of you piboso is honesty.

Will we be paying for GP Bikes again?
Yes or no answer would be grand.

Appreciate your work regardless.

Since most of your comments are snarky and demeaning, it is hard to take anything you ask seriously. Perhaps if you showed more respect to others not everything that you type will be taken negatively. In order to get respect, you must first respect others.

Praying mods can be no issue

Thanks for all your hard work Mr P

Title: Re: It's almost time...
Post by: speedfr on April 11, 2018, 02:18:57 PM
Nice words DD.

1. Anyway, if we have to buy another licence to support Mr Piboso work, (we can do a pool maybe ? ) i'll be on it.
2. On Steam Workshop, it's possible to use mods, look at Arma 3 that i used to play (didn't tried since Apex is out), you can find mods and missions (almost 20 000) for this game.
So i'm pretty sure that modding this game will be ok and even, as GP500 was, we will find a way. And be able to play online too.

3. Mr Piboso, that's a very very good idea and hopeffuly a milestone (!!) for you that will reward all this year of intense work. Nice and full of hope.

4. "If you want to respect others, start by respecting yourself..."

Little games, not AAA, are really not cracked so much, even less if the price is not around 60€.

M3 i know a fair bit about and can probably collect more information from other riders and teams. My team in sweden have good connections to big european teams.

I might also be able to get a little information about moto2 bikes, as i know a few guys that raced european championship moto2 and maybe i can get in contact with a rider or two from M2 world champs. Not sure if they answer as much as before they got into motoGP anymore ;)

European Moto2 would be perfect... The bikes should be exactly the same, right? A Moto2 is very basic, and the engine almost stock...

Post by: Meyer#12 on April 18, 2018, 06:42:47 AM
Is it only moto2 you are interested in? i will do some digging and see what i can get out of people

I don't think the engines is a 100% stock, the Moto2 engines is around 130bhp, or maybe closer to 140bhp now, and a stock CBR engines is probably more like 110-115bhp.
I know they for example change to ported cylinder heads from the SSP kit.

Sure they are tuned, but it seems to me that the tuning level is not so extreme and all engines are more or less the same.

Post by: Meyer#12 on April 18, 2018, 11:07:34 AM
I will see what i can get. Does all moto3 info have interest? not only world championships?

Yes, the engine are quite the same. It is a company outside the teams that does all the service on the engines and the engines are sealed and marked, so Dorna can controll it. All engines are randomely given to the teams.
In european championship i think many teams have last years Moto2 world champ engines.

I will see what i can get. Does all moto3 info have interest? not only world championships?

Thank you. Yes, any Moto3 would be useful.

Personally I would like to see something new in the GP Bikes future:

- Pitbike and Minimoto with proper physics and new rider styles.

Moto2 and Moto3, are cool but really never see a game/sim with little bikes, and I think is quite easy ask for datas and specs at some team.

And we can use the krp tracks for this little things  ;D

Pitbike and Minimoto are not bikes, they are gimmics!!! Why waste energy on such a toy when time could be used on real bikes? You make amazing bikes Blacky, some of the best in fact.

This is supposed to be a racing bike sim, not a gimmic sim. If anything it is stability of the sim that is needed, not content. 64 bit and better memory usage should come first for online racing which this is all about.

Not shooting you down just stating the facts. Either way. Please keep up the fantastic work you do. Thank you.

Pitbikes and minimotos are better suited as modding projects, rather than stock contents.

yeah but there are some issue with rider animations and phisics for make different mods:

- Small tires without a lean angle limit is a nightmare the only solution imho is give less grip on the rear tire but is not very realistic.
- Rider animations, mainly the arms, and bad results when the steer position is higher than the seat.

Little bikes are used also from wsbk rider like Melandri;

2:27 on the MiniGP is Macho

Ah, small bike physics does need improving massivly but i tend to agree, it shouldn't be a priority. Maybe a side projecet to designate another riding sytle for small bike

Cannot disagree more with the above statement.  If minibikes/smaller bikes were gimmicks, like you call them, riders would go straight to a GP/1000cc bike. There's a reason why they start with smaller displacement bikes. Plenty of pro riders train on smaller bikes.

I am all for a rideable 125cc at least, as part of the original content. This establishes a pathway for new riders to build up their skills and avoid having a bunch of mediocre riders running into each other on 200mph+ uncontrolled rockets.

I think we sometimes get too caught up in the "This is a sim" narrative. Not that I want GPB to be anything else, I come to it because of what it is, but we've gotten a little ridiculous with that.   

I do agree that the stability of the sim has to be improved, but that shouldn't rule out having a good set of bikes for original content, from a starter bike to a full blown GP bike.

Too true matty. The GP250 championship was great and you learn a lot on the bikes. I remember the GP80 one too that was a blast. These are NOT nini bikes, they are real bike size and it is different to minimoto/pitbike.

SMALL bike classes are important for learning.

In regards to steam modding without the workshop,I modded my flight sim in much the same way that we do GPB, by dragging and dropping, and there is very little issue, as a matter of fact I can't seem to recall one. The only possible issues I can think of is compatibility, and the fact the location of the main GPB directory would change, however I never had any issues with 'non-steam' mods there. Maybe some slight optimization differences, but that's all. That and the VAC system prevents major file changes for online use, so that really depends on if the steam version runs the VAC coding in it. The way I see it is that people who invest in GPB are here for the fun of it, and to have decent races, and not to cheat, so I doubt it'd be an issue but that remains to be seen I guess.
P.S: I would happily re-buy the Sim for steam as I love it that much, but it would be nice not to have to, keep it up  :) :)

First of all, given the experience with KRP, the Steam release will double the sales at best, so nothing dramatic.

Secondly, the vast majority of Steam users will stay on the Steam forum, so hardly anything will change here  :)

No reason to wait, it'll be the same game no matter where you buy it. There are some bugs but it's a good game and is very playable for most. Pretty sure you'll be able to convert to a Steam key if you already purchased a version from this site prior to the Steam release (this is what happened with KRP so no reason it won't be the same here http://stats.kartracing-pro.com/steam.php ).

I don't know how open they are but I would have thought contacting some of the teams it the British Motostar Championship might be the best chance at getting real Moto3 data. They all seem to run ex-world championship bikes.

I have NEVER received ANY info from teams or manufacturers, even when there was a partnership.
This is why I'm asking here... Maybe someone has first-hand contacts and can avoid me a huge waste of time.

Apparently Moto2 bikes use Dunlop tyres sized 120/75 R17 at the front and 195/75 R17 at the rear.

According to my calculations, they should have a diameter of 612mm and 724mm, respectively.
However, this doesn't match photos and schematics, where the rear tyre seems to have a diamter around 652mm.

The formula is (195 * 100 / 75) * 2 + 17 * 25.4
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Your formula is correct, however, tire sizes are not exact.

Have you checked what width rim is being used?

Apparently, the front rim is 3.75", the rear 6".
How can this data help in determining the exact tyre size?

I think there's a mistake in what you wrote but not what you calculate.


The formula is (195 * 75 / 100) * 2 + 17 * 25.4 = 724.3mm
Cuz with what you wrote its a truck wheel : 951.8mm (inversion of the 75% of the 195mm)

There's something else, if we take 652mm diameter for the wheel it will be then a 146/75 R17 which is not what your picture shows.

In 2010 apparently, the follwing board was on from Michelin on the CEV.
(see picture attached)

Edit : @Duterneracingparts, they have a 195/65 R17 from Dunlop for Moto2 (KR108) ... that will give a total diameter of 685mm...

Unfortunately there is no date yet, not even an approximate one  :(
The price of the Steam version hasn't been decided either.
Yes, the standalone ( not Steam ) license of GP Bikes works for WRS, too.
