[UPDATE 5-FEB-08] R26 on my hands [and again…]

Hey CTDP’ers!

Just want to let you know that R26 is on the way. You may notice that is the second post of the R26, but just let you know that some errors on the shape and mapping were the reason why this car is delaying. Also Paulo let me paint that beauty… Thanks Man!

Now, as Andy fixed the things I’ve told about that (both shape and mapping), sent me the “new” car and here I am, painting it, combining with exams.

Also, wish me luck as I’ll paint all the track-specific liveries… More WIPs to come, so Stay Tunned!!

EDIT: 2nd WIP with the main desing done!!

Steering wheels WIP

Hello everyone,

Just a little progress report. No screenshots from me today but after my extended Xmas vacation to let you know that steering wheels have progressed quite bit.  Some clever bloke noted that the Toro Rosso and Red Bull steering wheels were 2007 specification  ( a mistake on our part) :),  this has now been corrected with the TR already redone, the Red Bull nearly done and some small touchups to others. 

This leaves just the Super Aguri as the only wheel to be modelled, so not far away and this part for the work will be completed.

Aguri Upgrades & Renault

Hello everybody,

I finished the Super Aguri 05 Upgrades and started working on Renault. We found some shape mistakes we want to fix before the painting gets into the final stage. After Paulo dropped the car and Raul took it over I also decided to try a new mapping technique to have less distortions on the livery (cozed by these horrible roundings everywhere on the car). Karan did some new shots of the current dev version.

Physics Statusreport

We’re nearly done with all the basics…
What’s close to final(~):

  • General Feeling
  • Tire Slip Curves
  • Suspension geometry to all Teams
  • Gearboxes to all teams
  • Shift delays to all Teams
  • Integrated ad much real data as never before
  • Matching Top speed and Lap times on all accurate 2006 Formula One Tracks with optimum Setups (hard work 😉 )
  • Damage
  • Wear
  • Cooling (Brake ducts, Radiator(Engine))
  • Tires: Supersoft, Soft, Medium, Hard,Superhard each will come to you in 3 Versions, cold, warm and hot, they differ in their optimum operating temperature.
  • Ferrari@ Bahrain and a lot upgrades
  • Slipstream/Drafting
  • Engines
  • Super Aguri Basics
  • McLaren Basics
  • Renault Basics

TO DO:

  • All Team Basics
  • All Upgrades per Track (not as much work left)
  • Michelin Tweaks
  • Small Tweaks in Drafting and Slipstreaming (nearly done)
  • Tire heating Tweaks to match optimum Tires and Temps on all tracks
  • Selecting Out wrong tires per Track (means in Barcelona only Medium and Hard will be available, Monaco will have Super soft and Soft)


We are working hard, mostly 10 hours per night, did about 20.000 Test laps and we all need a break after finishing that.Greetz, Gonzo 

Need help with tracks to work with the mod

A word from Gonzo:

Hello Community.

Surely you know that there are very many versions of different tracks. Many variations by different people. To make our upgrade-system work for all of them we need the names of all versions which you think you will use with F1-2006. There will be all car upgrades (physics & graphical) throughout the season. To get them to work right with all tracks and give you the correct laptimes, tyres and more, we need your help.

So we ask you to create a list of all tracks.  Please check this threads if all your tracks are included.
