Comments on: CTDP 1994 – WIP (Williams In Progress) http://devblog.ctdp.net/?p=708 Be as picky as you like Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:31:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Gold333 http://devblog.ctdp.net/?p=708&cpage=1#comment-5086 Gold333 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 01:08:18 +0000 http://devblog.ctdp.net/?p=708#comment-5086 Thanks Raulongo. I am an enthousiast with a special love for the 93 and 94 seasons (I also wrote the wiki articles on FW14, 15 and 16). I am communicating now with Ko***@dan***se**.*** regarding how to exchange information. I will be more than happy to share everything I know (in 15 years of F1 experience) to help you guys out to get this mod perfect. To be honest the 1994 season was the parallel universe gateway to what we have now so it pays to get it right. Thanks Raulongo.

Nice one mate... but in a couple of weeks you'll see the almost-final product that has nothing to do with this. Again, thank you!! I’m overwhelmed by Gold333 feedback, my god!

Remember what truly makes something stand the test of time are the perfection in the details. If you mail me with your email address I can send you high res photography of the early season 1994 cars.

Many of the issues have already been tackled, after all the pictures were done a year ago. One thing to note, very often we post WIP shots here, which are not consistent with the real cars liveries. Working in our graphic tools we have all sorts of livery combinations of logos, drivers etc on different layers and turn them on and off to check them all. So very often driver doesn't suite to startnumber, logos are missing or flipped. Usually you can't deduce the car to one specific race. The exception is when we display explicitly the differences in liveries for different GPs. Keep the sharp eye! Thanks for the detailed comments.

It is therefore an Aida spec FW16 chassis #3. -The mirrors should be white. -The refuelling valve should be on the other side. -The antenna is too thin. On the real car it was covered by rubber and was not a thin metal wire. -The rear wing should be numbered 2 -It is missing the nose "vanes" as used by Senna and Hill in the race. -I believe the rear of the engine cover does not slope down enough. -The goodyear logo on the rear wing is mirrored? -The nose is too fat -Be careful in using FW16B photographs in modelling FW16 (lengthening sidepods, covering airbox, etc) The 2 cars are subtly very different. Just use high res FW16 photographs. -Your curvise ROthmans logo blue background (in ellipses on engine cover and on front wing) are slighly lighter than the blue on the rest of the car. In reality it was a slight shade darker blue than the rest on the car. -The car is missing the emergency cutoff decal (E) on the engine cover. -The white coloured area infront of the cockpit is too short. -The Rothmans ellipse logo in this area sits far too low. In addition the Rothmans lettering below the ellipse is too short. -The Renault logo on the engine cover is too narrow. -The airbox curves inward behind the thin blue line, in reality it should continue on an even line. -The airbox entry hole edges are too sharp, on the real car they are more rounded. -The airbox engine cover is too narrow causing the blue "Rothmans" lettering to appear tooo narrow.

I tried already. Thanks for the feedback. We know this problem, but mapping will remain in the middle of the logo, and due to the roundness looks terrible. I tried already.

Hussey Sat, 07 Mar 2009 08:31:44 +0000 http://devblog.ctdp.net/?p=708#comment-3012 All i can see, without trying too hard, is that the "Rothmans" logo infront-and-to-the-right of the cockpit is a bit low. In reality, the logos are verging to the top of the nose, but in the pictures here they are more on-the-side.
