Siim & Niels

Jamirofan89 · 6 March 12, 20:43

When I thought that the Supra mod is the closest thing I can get to feel "realism" in a game I came across the Chevy C6 mod.
Let me tell you this is the most accurate mod ever.The similarity between driving a real sports car and driving the Z06 in rFactor is scary,the feedback of the car is so amazing.

1.How come there's no other street cars by these 2 talents?

2.How come Niels' homepage is non existent and some physics mods only have megaupload links left?

3.Are there any WIP street cars (or physics mod) by either Siim or Niels?
Imagine an old school Ferrari made with passion like the C6 Z06.
Or a Dodge Viper or even better! An NSX type R!

Hello, I'm happy to read you enjoy those cars! Siim is quite far with an updated Corvette, which includes the ZR1 but I have almost no time now to do the physics, and we also want new sounds which is not easy.. So don't hold your breath I'm afraid!

My youtube channel (niels007007) has lots of videos of cars I made, but sadly they are almost all private 'tests'. Perhaps you can enjoy watching them though.

I do some 'pro' sim work with a few racing teams and I work at Reiza Studios, so you may want to check 'game stockcar' out, it has some well modelled circuits too..

The C6 mod is great fun, I remember the first time I used it was at Mid Ohio and I was having an absolute blast trying to catch perfect slides around every bend. It was the most fun I've had in rFactor

Understood and thank you for the answer!

Me as well, but oh well. Maybe it'll be an rF2 thing?

I reckon we could wait for the sounds, and just have the car

Hi, nice to see people like street cars in racing sims as well.

Anyway, the C6 Corvette update (or rather, it is a remake - completely scratch made new mesh etc.) is mostly done graphics wise. Sounds and physics still need work.

As I am really busy with real life right now (school mostly) and Niels is also busy, I don't think there will be a release before summer.

As far as future plans go, If everything goes well and I can get the school stuff done and have once again free time, I would really like to bring more street cars into rFactor and possibly rFactor2 too. Please don't make any requests, as I like to work on stuff I really like myself, if you know what I mean.

That makes sense, if you like the project you are doing then you are more motivated to put more quality into it

But the main thing is that there WILL be a release in the future!

Vette4Life · 8 March 12, 22:06

Keep the good work going guys ! Corvette's are awesome !

Some1: I'm just wondering, did you ever had any plans on converting your 1984 C4 Vette to rF ?

EAKMotorsports · 22 March 12, 16:56

I always loved the C6 and Supra Mod maybe I´m the first ones who have downloaded and tested the mods and its simple the best I always recommend for everyone who was new on the simulation world and to the old ones too. So Looking forward for this update.

DoubleT · 25 March 12, 21:13

I need somebody to build one of these for simulation.
I have all the data and sounds.
This car is an absolute "kick in the ass" to drive on switchbacks. Super fun.

Here is a preview of the new sounds, finally it kinda sounds like ... a Corvette!

Physics going very nicely too..

We hope this summer!

Vette4Life · 12 July 12, 23:04

WHAAAAAAA !

Cheers guys

Lately, I've been updating the interior to match the 2012 model year.
Check out the update post (with bigger images) at my blog.

pau pau · 25 July 12, 08:04

Those pictures look as if taken from Gran Turismo, even better, maybe.

Vette4Life · 27 July 12, 01:39

Awesome !

davehenrie · 27 July 12, 03:28

Looks nice, now all you need to do is show it's true pace by putting it BEHIND a new Viper! LOL!

did received my feed-backs(emails)?

Raikku · 7 October 12, 18:31

I don't like car's tendency to spin at ridiculously low speeds. Something is wrong there. In physics or in tire grip.

Jamirofan89 · 1 November 12, 21:25

The dynamic engine sound not only doubles but TRIPLES the fun!
Can't get enough of the ZR1.
