rFactor 2 GP 1979 alpha version

Probably someone will be interested to try out the alpha version of the mod GP 1979. As far as I understood the physical model of the car is different.

Cool!

But it won't feature the Kauhsen again I guess

Is the Kauhsen not just a modified Merzario?

The HSO one is, but it wasn't in the official mod. Would be a chance to make it from scratch...

After searching a bit, the Merzario A4 which was used from the British round and onward was a modified Kauhsen WK, so if the mod includes it (I can't remember if it did) then it shouldn't be too difficult to recreate in game, and they only attempted 2 Grand Prix so they aren't the most important part of the mod I suppose

Salut Hi,

So I'm the one that convert this master piece to RF2.
I will be very please to add this Kauhsen car in a future release if Guillaume is OK to share his work on it.
To go futher any critics or comments are welcome... I'm alone to convert it and it's a really uge work....

Guillaume, sur le mod HSO GP79, tu as rafraichis quelques SKIN ou pas ??? Si c'est le cas peux tu me dires si il m'est possible de les Utiliser dans ma conversion et lesquel, dans le MOD original ne sont pas historiquement correct...

Merci d'avance

All alone? Wow, that's impressive.


How about adding the HSO Kauhsen(Hidden Merzario) aswell for historical purposes?

After all, it was there.


I am also waiting for the 1997 mod to include the Lola, but I think it died

Bienvenue Arnaud

De mémoire le seul skin que j'ai fait pour ce mod c'est celui de la Kauhsen, à mettre sur la Merzario. J'avais aussi fait plein de skins de 1980 qui n'ont servi à rien
Si tu juges que le skin est assez bon, que tu l'utilises ne me pose aucun soucis.

Bon courage pour le boulot que tu fais

Which source material did you use btw Gui? Some drawings like this one?

Or did you study mostly the real car?

I don't really remember that was 4 years ago, but only real photos from the car yes.

Ok, c'est délà pas mal non une voiture en Plus .... Merci beaucoup à toi !!!!

Just to tease a bit....

Nice But what is Tambay doing in the Kauhsen ?

Yes Sorry for helmet mistake. Got all Helmets Skins but I have no idea how to add them automaticaly for each car...
This helmet is the one from common_79 folder that is use in 3dmax... I don't how if I must assign them in 3D max as a texture or if work as car skin...have to dig IT...

In rF it works this way : for example you have :

brancatelli.veh
brancatelli.dds
brancatellihelmet.dds
brancatellidriver.dds
...

in max, your materials must be named wccarbody, wchelmet, wcdriver...

Nice,

A lot of work in perspective (rename material + export + redo my car mas + adding helmet in team mas) x17,5
thanks JP

I've just verify for the meza/kauh Helmet and driver... The materials already have correct name so I have added helmet skin with correct name but it seems that it doesn't work like that in RF2... Any other clue

It works for me in 3D SimEd
24helmet.dds for the Merzario.

That's cool

Btw: As the Kauhsen is basically the Merzario, there's no option to change it in the car files, to make it kind of it's own car maker?

I just noticed the differences to the Merzario: The RW has a different shape and is probably fixed on the sides rather than in the middle, and the airbox is missing.


...but re-designing would take longer

You might have to define the "extra" file within the .veh file. Although it might change with mod, "extra5" could be the additional file for the helmet. Therefore "Extra5="Helmet" which suggests file with postfix "Helmet" will be extra5, and therefore the helmet in the game. Or at least this is what I have understood from the rFactor Formula 3 mod "Japan Formula 3 2003-2008".
