WIP 1 - was going to be a quick update, but......
Started update to b18 spec;
Update slipper clutch parameters to b18 - adjustable in garage
Update to modelled inertia, CoG adjustments = livelier handling
Chassis Stiffness reduced and damping adjusted to suit
New seat unit geometry, exhaust geometry adjusted to suit
Fixed some geometry shader issues
Updated to full rocker/linkage rear suspension physics model
Fixed tyre to track clearances
New single livery texture for all bodywork for simple paint creation
Added custom ambient shadow models for chassis and tyres
Updated stand textures and added ambient shadow model
New OEM grip models and textures with throttle animation
Fixed some wet weather tyre file bugs
Updated b17.2 16/05/2020

Cant wait to ride her again.

OMG
Will you be doing the 933 and Strada again too...........

Rode the old Duc a lot, which is surprising considering I prefer race bikes, and this has... LIGHTS :o
as for the HP4 Race, (Not quite an s1000 as there are a tonne of differences in geometry and handling) bob some in my discord or pm me ont forums :)
WE had brake lights working on road bikes years ago in GPB lol
DD
the lights part was more refferring to the fact I prefer race bikes and this one isnt a race bike and yet i like it
Beautiful!! Class work H..... Stunning! ;D 8)
@DD Not sure how I will get on doing all the bikes, its a very old (and first I tried) model and all the texture files have got jumbled up over time - I try to be a bit more organised these days. It is nice to finally fix the animation issues and the sound is probably the best I have managed for this bike. Still some work to do on the tyres, bit of VR tuning and establish decent suspension values it should be good to go.
Well H all I can say is I have never had a better feeling with a sim bike than with your Dukes......
Look forward to trying her out
Thanks for the hard work m8

release b17.1 for testing and feedback, link in first post.
I will try it for sure
Ok, so I tried the bike on Aseen05, here are my first impressions:
Overall is very good, accurate engine power, model is very good, sound not bad; I feel the bike a bit too light, it's fast when changing directions; the steer shakes too much even in slow turns and when exiting from slow corners; I feel also it's a bit too slow when shifting up, idk if it's accurate, just my opinion, not really an issue
Thanks for the feedback.
It is fairly easy to add a bit of weight and I must admit I did not notice the shaking but I will give it a review along with the shift time.
So I tried the bike at Victoria this time. I made just few laps and my best was a 1'38:735 SO FAR. I think I can make a 1'37:5 after a bit
And I noticed I have to wait much time to shift down. Most of the times I had to wait until i get to the middle of the corner.
Update to b17.2 in first post.
Feedback and comments welcomed.
Excellent work! I like it; the shifting seems to be good now and I really like the model.
b18 WIP update in first post :)
More work on the seat unit
New exhaust pipes and OEM style silencers
Superb work H..... Fantastic job! ;D 8)
Holy Taglioni-olee~! Beautfiul work. ;)
Any chance of some Akrapovic pipes pretty please
So love this bike but the old clutch chatter is missing like in the original
Thanks for such a great job H

I was all set for a big overhaul release but the bike physics/tyres are beyond me to get right now so I gave up. New bike would have better paint maps so its easy to do your own. Worked out how to add shaders to the paints as well so you can go mad if you want
I am crap at that..........
Shame it wont get finished m8
DD
any news on the b18 version?
Don´t think so.....physics are not that easy.....but who am i to judge that ;D
Imho most of the early players are still frustrated that this sim after years of years ist still not undergoing a major overhaul of the code and other major topics.
I played and modded since Beta 7?? (Must be 2013?) Was part of CAWS until i left GPB (in 2018?) because the devlopment was so slow.....
2022 there are still net code problems and the graphics is so autdated it hurts when playing GPB.....it still is the only SIM in this category and the physics are great but still not optimal.
GPB only lives because of the Mods not because of its own content.
