I obviously need to tune the suspension a fair bit, and I am using an Xbox controller so its a bit wank to try take corners committed but still...

Update......

Invest in better pedals, they will make you faster.
My Fanatec V2 pedals give me alot more feedback during braking and save me around half to a full second a lap.

Get a 2nd hand g25 and some proper pedals and you'll be set for life

Will actually second that, pedals are more important than the wheel itself.

Just because someone has a better wheel, doesn't mean they will be faster.

I know I have started a few mods and not finished them, so please don't hate, I have just had fun modelling stuff with the intention of putting certain things in game.

But I have slowly started adding it in, using the beam suspension on the rear and going to try swap the front over to either macpherson or double wish bone.

So hopefully I will be able to get it roughly in game in the next couple days and bring a preview video for everyone.

Any chance you can specify what linkage is what on the beam suspension setup?

Came across this site that is helpful in terms of modelling, its basically side, top, front and back views of literally thousands of cars and bikes.

Looks like a stadium super truck is more than doable in terms of suspension

Having a problem with when I apply my texture ( that UV unwrap texture ) to my model and put it in game, there are just a few little dots and I can't see the model, any ideas?

Also as you could tell by the previous picture on the Stadium Super Truck I have made a template, here it is, a little basic, but my first time every setting up an actual template.

Yeeaaaahhh!! Now that would be fun  Possibilities for WRS are endless it seems.... 

The main thing that will be a struggle is setting up the suspension GFX so stuff moves ( I will concentrate on physics first if I fully put it in game though )

Sorry for the lack of updates, ended up going testing for my racing in real life and then when I came back to my computer I lost interest in working on the F-SAE for a bit and started modelling other vehicles to potentially put into WRS....

Such as a Stadium Super Truck...

Is there an alpha channel used in the texture?

I had problems with the model "Ghosting" through itself

Nah there isn't :/ 

*Bump*

Any ideas?

Just a thought, but have you checked your face normals? I've had a similar problem with track models before and it turned out the face normals were somehow reversed, so I had to flip them to the correct side so the surfaces could be viewed in sim. 

Hawk.

Yeah I have, was one of the first things I checked, I then collapsed them, I might be doing something in the files wrong if I am always having this problem with every mod I do.

*Bump*

Any ideas?
