Video of some of the cool features, animations and general quality and attention to detail to this awesome supercar.
F40LM Lover has done a fantastic job on the animations. Please ignore the angle of the driver's head, it will be tilted forward a little to look more realistic. It's the reason for the slight update release delay.
I tried my hand at the complex animations too, with ...
Quick update as to where I'm at in the short term:
Alpine A364 F3 (1972) v1.8 - Update this weekend
Audi 90 Quattro IMSA GTO (1989) v2.5 - Update 22-23/4
Ferrari F50 (1995) v2.6 - Update this weekend or next
Porsche 911 993 RWB (1997) v3.6 - Update 29-30/4

Too soon? Well, you spot them and I try to fix them.
Many fixes and improvements, thank you for your feedback.
One of them, the rear lights are much better now. The texturing and UV mapping seemed on point, but once I built the Refracting Lights code, hmmm. So I have spent some time getting them just right. ð

Happy Sunday!
One of my good friends owns one of these unique front-engined Porsches in black, so I worked on this for him remembering the good times, before my life got a painful dose of reality. I miss those simple times.ð
The Porsche 944 Turbo S is often overlooked as one of the great sports cars of its day, and that's a ...
Sunday evening coastal adventure. Errr, I mean testing, testing! ðĪŠ Just look at it, I could only dream years ago I could drive a Porsche virtual sports car made exactly the way I want it and then take it out for a cruise on a pacific coast highway edited exactly the way I want it, at the exact time of day I want and with the exact weather I want. In VR on a sim rig. How far we've come from t...

Improved every Texture.
Improved every Shader.
Few CSP improvements.
Added trunk Animation.

I'll push him to release it soon.
Dan Bucsa
A few laps in the Green Hell on a Sunday morning? Don't mind if I do. ð
Dan Bucsa
Big thanks to F40LM Lover for helping me with the animations and for showing me how and giving me the confidence I needed to do it too. Bless you man! This animation is mine.
But, wait 'till you see all the other fantastic animations he's done! ð
Dan Bucsa
So much progress on this update. More final 3d work and all CSP code is done. ð
What's left:
Make new Driver animation and Gear Change Animation.
Finish all the skins / colours and optimise them.
Build and test Slick and Street tyres to go with the current Semi_Slick ones, which have already been improved.
Build High Quality VAO.
Targeting a release next weekend. Ho...
It looks this good because I love doing this and I put a lot of effort in it. Talent is nothing without hard work. I'm always learning and persevering. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it as good as I can. Only way.
Thank you all for your support and your feedback and help. Thank you, my dear Patrons for sticking with me and having faith in me. ð

For my friend F40LM Lover. ðĪ
Improved every Texture.
Improved every Shader.
Added Optimised version.
Minor CSP materials corrections and additions.
Added Brake FX and exhaust shake.
Corrected and updated ambient shadow.
I still want to help with the 3d and the full CSP code. But I'm hoping to help him get the update finished and ready.
This is, ð, I am ...

Brake disc glow in different environments, on different types of brakes discs, working in latest CSP. ð

Black Beauty. ð
I revised and improved 3d further, tweaked materials, optimised textures and also improved shaders. All analogue gauges now work correctly, lighting all done and all the dash warnings too. Digital clock added. CM lights also done. Getting there. ð

Minor 3d changes, many materials and shaders improvements. Texture optimisations. Also, a couple of fixes based on feedback. CSP/PBR shader changes and additions. Tweaked, higher quality VAO. New exhaust glow effect also added.

This is what the exhaust glow feature I improved looks like, not realistic I know, but kinda cool, or hot! ð
Dan Bucsa
Quick fix!
Ok so the problem, I was working on v1.79 and Sol and a Comfy filter I used to like, with brightness up, and I forgot to go back to default filter while setting up some shaders. Sooo...I messed up. ðĪ But! I now have Pure and Pure Candy installed and it's BEAutiful!
I think I have fixed the brightness issues and added a few more CSP/PBR shaders while testing. Big than...

Porsche weekend! ð
I improved more of the interior 3d, cleaned up some double-sided objects too, improved several shaders, 6 textures and overall optimisations to the number of textures, and their size.
Again, as with the Porsche 911 993 RWB (1997), I have improved the CSP/PBR shaders to make them look more realistic. I tweaked the exhaust glow effe...

Surprise! I have updated a number of the 3d objects and materials, added a roof wing, steering wheels details, and some other cool little touches. I'll let you guys find them. ð
What else? Several fixes in data.acd, following feedback from sim-racers. Custom paint options with relevant naming to make it easier for people to make th...
Few quick photos before I start raytracing all the VAOs.
All last 5 mods have been updated and the Porsche 944 Turbo S (1988) is almost finished. It's going to be a busy few weeks. ð
Dan Bucsa
I've put a lot of work into this too, added some new details, improved many 3d objects, UV maps, textures and material shaders, fixed some errors and made all skins a little more special. Several optimisations in these areas.
I also improved many CSP effects and most of the CSP material shaders.
I have added the custom paint feature, so it's easy to know what can be painted for pe...

I've been busy with personal matters and my health, but always finding time for my favourite hobby. ð
All 3d is done. Numerous fixes, split all meshes needed, improved UV mapping, corrected hierarchy, renamed all objects, added and scratch made several parts, optimised, improved smoothing groups, prepared for data and CSP coding.
Next, the textures and shaders with receive a me...

I've really been looking forward to sharing this with you all. Following all the feedback and testing, I have updated the main mod. Fixes, improvements, extra features and optimisations. ð

Another cool addition is remastered drivers, helmets, visors, manu...

"Good things come to those who wait"
I'm a big fan of Audi's Quattro permanent four-wheel drive system. I'm a big fan of the challenger, the underdog, the bold and the relentless.
With this racing car Audi took on the big American names at their own game, on their own turf, and had they competed in the long endurance races, the...
And last but not least the Martini skin, fully reworked and optimised like the others.
Lots of surprises coming, lots of Easter eggs to discover in the details.
Should be ready for you all tomorrow, free, unencrypted and public. âïļ ð
