Wow Gorgias, thats VERY informative!!
I start working on the 2,5 rotation tomorrow; I got the steering heavier and with more "feel" in it, but had to guess the rotation; I did 2,0......... No problem, should be a small fix.
I did the new steering model with "double angle" for "more precise steering" (ISI). It listens very well now.
I havent worked on the brakes yet, but that is something that can be well implemented; cold brakes scaring the crap out of the driver
About the engine:
there is not much torque until 5000 rpm; thats okay, you mentioned the same.
But this is what I don't get: two peaks: 6400 and 8100 rpm, but he says "The straight-8 pulls smoothly to 5,000, when it suddenly comes alive".
So......when should it begin?
Meanwhile, I implemented the new engine model btw. Will be in tomorrows update; I try and put the new torque line in.
Thanks mate!
EDIT:
Made the steering do 2,5 turns and made the engine with a double peak.
Last one was hard; torque is about 247@6100 but in order to get 290bhp@8500rpm: the torque has to be around 248 at that rpm too. I can't "double peak" without having a small dip first..... As rpm go up; the bhp still go up so you won't feel much of the dip.
At 5000rpm, I turned the volume up of the sound file that starts playing at that rpm in order to get the feeling a bit better too and as described in your quotes.
