Hey guys. Next to wanting to show you my new build I had a question I hope one of you could help me with since you know how to build a good car.
I wanted to give my next car rear wheel steering from like V>75. Does anyone know how to make that a condition to activate steering? Like pressing Act1 but automatically activating at a certain speed instead of activating in manually?
Thanks for thinking with me!

Hey! Wow, you've gone like Verstappen at Spa with your points mate! Congrats!
Im currently having a real busy period irl. I usually play sp when i have the time and can finish a build in a single go (which still usually takes a few days). Might have some more time soon though.
Also right before my break a i did a replica of an Oreca chassis LMP2 Le Mans car which is pretty much ready to upload. Its one of my biggest builds though so i want it to be perfect!
Wiki:
The Oreca 07 is a Le Mans Prototype built by French manufacturer Oreca to meet the 2017 FIA and ACO LMP2 regulations. It made its official race debut in the opening round of the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the 24 Hours of Daytona, and its FIA World Endurance Championship debut at the 2017 6 Hours of Silverstone. The car is the successor to the Oreca 05.
Again great looking car! Also nice use of wings on it!
My tips: because of the high front drag combined the large, double hinged springs, especially on the rear, you get a shocky and unpredictable understeer. Vertical stabilezers help, shorter, stiffer springs at a higher angle work better.
Also less forward grip and slightly more sideways grip on the front tires can hel with this too.
The rear wing generates as much drag as downforce. A much smaller angle would me more effective. 10 is plenty, 15 is high but can be useful, more than 20 is overkill!
Giving the front wing a bigger angle than the rear wing increases stability and prevents understeer. The balance between center lift and center of gravity would be pretty good if the wings were set at front 8, rear 5. Something like that would perfectly balance the car
You can also mess around with angled wings (around 5 degrees down) to generate actual downforce for more realism and better handling without having to give the car loads of tyre grip.
It takes some practice but 90-120% grip lvl should be enough if you get the aerodynamics right.
Are these tips you can work with? Need any help on something?
Nice build! Looks great!
Try adding small vertical stabilizer wings at the rear to prevent spinning and a more stable stable ride at medium to high speeds!
@Rocketguy2079 then check out my other posts too, I made a lot of racing and f1 style cars!
I tagged you in a post with how this specific car works so you can learn some stuff about building cars!
@Rocketguy2079 also check out this car. It's the best one I made in terms of functional car building: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/fcnc42/UTC-trackday-Racing-Car-Update-V2
@Rocketguy2079 sure! Do you know how to mod and want to use that? Or do you want to start off without mods?
I'll upload the suspension of this car unlisted and tag you so we can take a look at it if you want to!

@TheGliderGuy ja vraagje. Is er een manier om de trim sterkte aan te passen? Doordat het hoogteroer voor lage snelheden redelijk groot is overtrek je 'm al met de trim een kwart naar achter. Ik gebruik gewoon vleugels met een fusilage er overheen om een zo realistisch mogelijk effect te krijgen
@TheGliderGuy wel tof trouwens! Zweefvliegclub kindje! Superleuk als dat echt vanaf jongs af aan zo in je opvoeding zit. Heb hetzelfde met m'n pa en opa die instructie op motorkisten deden. Ook sinds jongs af aan tussen de cessnas opgegroeid :)
@TheGliderGuy nee heb ik niet. Game eigenlijk nooit met pc.
Ik heb trouwens echt m'n halve vakantiedag verneukt door een nieuwe zweefkist te bouwen haha
Kan 'm denk ik morgen of overmorgen uploaden!
@TheGliderGuy solo gevlogen op junior en 23 (en 1x ka-8 :D) maar nooit GPL gehaald. Had de tijd niet meer en ga als ik weer begin met vliegen denk ik voor m'n PPL.
Hoe ver ben jij nu? Al toffe dingen gevlogen?
Made a version without most of the Aerodynamics to give an idea what all those wing parts actually do.

Enjoy the driving experience!
@Rocketguy2079 I know there are possible V= V> or V< commands but just dont know where to put them. We might both learn something then!

@Rocketguy2079 thanks!
And thanks @GrFrog for spotlighting!
@Rocketguy2079 Getting back into it since your comment, thanks! Next up, 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider :)
@Rocketguy2079
Cool livery!
@Rocketguy2079 oh and fun detail. Im gonna make it in modern McLaren livery as fictional Mclaren Le Mans WEC entry!

Beautiful!
Small note, maybe make it less powerful for more realism. Next to that really love it. Great work man!
@Astoundingcameron YES!
Just done with my first replica so might do that as a fun challenge!
If that's okay with you of course @Dkzwn
@TheGliderGuy Thanks man. Eindeloos getest en kleine aanpassingen gemaakt!
Binnenkort nieuw zweefvliegtuig projectje starten!

Nice!
@TheGliderGuy Al een ASH-25 gedaan? Al 6 jaar niet meer gezweefd maar was altijd verliefd op die kist!
En iets ouders als een Minimoa?
@TheGliderGuy heel tof man! Loopt op high physics niet helemaal top omdat ik alleen mobiel speel, maar ziet er prachtig uit!
Nice glider! Nederlands aan de callsign te zien?
@TheGliderGuy Thanks! Gonna attempt them more often I think!
Also an update to the original is coming soon!

@Mixx please do! I think I have an idea on the how, but never really got into it
@DEN12345
This drives great! I really love your builds man!
I love that livery! Great looking car and really good build!
Love it! Might try building a drifter myself. Got any tips?
Can't open due to size, but upvote for looks and because I know you always bring quality!
