Mercedes-Benz W125 0.79

No permission to download
-Few small texture and material improvements;
-Little bit more fuel tank capacity, and slightly less fuel consumption;
-Small tweaks for tires. They should feel tiny bit less edgy now, but those who terribly sucked at driving this car before, will probably still suffer badly, I can't help you.


^^^One way to hit an apex with W125. In case you wonder, I survived this and it wasn't so hard. But I don't recommend to powerslide W125 a lot.

I want to appologise for everyone whom this quick update might seem inconvenient, but I did end up driving the car more than I was planning, and couldn't help noticing things that I disliked. Basically I disliked floatyness of the car. I hope not to rush any other update soon, or too soon.

I have altered plenty of tire parameters. Tire now should feel more precise, and less tolerating huge slips. Overall tire should feel quite good, notice that the real trouble of these tires is their durability. One of the methods which I used to make tires less floaty was making them to drop grip sooner with high temperatures, other way was reducing slip angles increase with tire felx. Tires actually have less grip, but it doesn't feel so, except if you slide, so... don't drift a lot :D One more thing is that I have increased grip falloff speed, grip fallow itself is not huge, but it is fast, so that also counts against floatyness and vague lazy unrealisitic slides. Don't mind rear tires getting "red" at around 90-100degrees of heat after high speed sections, it only means that they drop about 2percent of grip at that time, and thats not so much, because 100% is not so much anyway, tires are just as durable as before, just looses more grip at lower temps than before.

I also increased lock to lock steering amount. Slightly decreased inertia of the car. Little more engine braking, will aid braking little bit, you still don't need heel and toe with this car.

There was almost no anti roll bar existance at rear before, but I now it is also like that at front end too.

Enjoy Valtteri having some words about W125 and puting it on well observable limit here.

Development was sparse, and after long time with big gaps between work on this mod I can't name all the differences. But there is quite a bit.

Huge thanks for Gary for implementing driver and suspension animations, which I was always scared of myself. Also thanks for early feedback on some physics details.

Big thanks for Tibor Solyom who has also provided help on the mod, and also a lot of interest and personal support.

And shame on me not to get model up to a proper standard and not pursuing for proper sound, and ironically I don't think that many engines has ever sounded more impressive than this.

Also uploading files to ACM dircetly sucks just like it did a few years ago, just saying :lol:
