Just to show you some of the progress.

Can someone please make at least a basic set of car gauges for this?

Great! I cant wait to use it to race a friend in a cessna between Belgium and Holland... 

looks great Katahu! is the steering wheel revcounter going to light up?Quote:

nope he put it on the right. . .i mean correct side (for enzo's atleast


the dash isn't that hard to replicate for anyone who knows how to do guages

contact pete, it is an easy fix

Grand total of 48,264 polygons [currently]

EDIT: And just to let you all know, I'm planning to start my next project on an American car. You'll find out which one when I release the Ferrari.

46000 poly is abit high but it should work well in flightsim Nice cockpit work. It's virtual right? ???

I have created a new set of textures for the both the interior and exterior models. These textures are divided into two groups: Exterior and Interior group.

Both groups are then divided into files that make up certain sections of the models. For example: Int_Steering_t.bmp file is used as an interior texture that is strictly used for the steering wheel.

I have also created a new surface texture for the  car. It uses the wrap-around method so that patterns and parts of the texture line up in FS9. Take an empty box and break it down into a flat piece of cardboard. There you have it.

The old textures that came with the beta uses this wrap-around method as well, but the organization of the textures were a bit messy. The new ones are more practical and allows for much easier repaints, in case any of you decide to come up with a paint scheme.

I have also fixed the eyepoints and height of the DVC. I tried to avoid what I call the ground-slice-through effect when you look down towards the ground. This seems to happen as the eyepoint draws close to the ground. And since the Ferrari is such a low-riding vehicle, you'll be seeing the slice through effect as well [if you zoom out just enough, though]. I tried raising the DVC height, but that would mean that the parked planes next to you [if you look from inside the DVC] will give you impression that your car is hovering above the ground.

I still need help with the gauges. I don't understand XML and I'm using FS Panel Studio [payware]. And as for the sounds, I have already purchased FS Sound Studio and MP3Maker 10 so that I can get to work on the sound files I have.

I was thinking about how I can make the car get a better grip on the road. My first thought was to increase the empty weight. But that cause the car to respond less and the stopping time increased a lot. I then thought about controling the MOI [moment of inertia] of the vehicle's yaw movement. BUt I feared it may make some strange things in the sim.

I then had a brainstorm. In real life, the car utilizes a special design on the chassie. In Formula 1 racing, this design is commonly known as the UNDERWORLD. This design directs the air underneath the car to increase in speed as the car accelerates. Do you remember the Bournolie Principle? As fluidic substance INcreases in speed, the preasure DEcreases. The underworld design creates this effect under the car so that the car will stick to the ground like glue.

I'm thinking about adding an imaginary wing [probably about a few square feet in size to be safe] with a negative incidence angle and located in the lower portion of the car.

Can it work? If it does, does it give the user more turning control?
