Awesome! I love the howl! So this sound will go on the Murcielago Coupe right?

Awesome! Great work so far, Grim! It's always great to see some SUVs every so often. Thanks man, I'll be downloading for sure.

Any more updates Frank? Just wondering.

I don't know. I wouldn't say GTR Evo is too realistic. Generally your car grips really well. Of course, some of it is very realistic, but just the physics and such can get ridiculous. Not to mention it's much easier than rFactor.

No, he is making the mesh. I asked for some help, so he is giving me help by making the mesh. But I am going to do the texturing and mapping. So it's about a 50/50 job. I don't care about modder status, I'm not a modder. That would be arrogant anyway. It could if I had the Edonis.

How good is LFS? How are the mods (if any)? Is it really that realistic? How would you compare it to games like GTR Evolution and rFactor? I'm looking into buying this game, just need feedback.

Great Frank! Thanks for the update. And I'll be sure to fix your name ;).

It looks awesome, but I don't think I'm going to put a '67 Fastback over a GT500. Just my standpoint...

No I know but I'm saying it's too fast for the game's physics. You get massive wheelspin until you get to 5th gear and once you get to 7th it's almost impossible to stay because of all of the traffic and turns. It's a really hard car to drive.

So you're saying a 917 didn't even have 1000hp?

Well actually I know a guy who has two 917s and he drives them on public roads legally :D. And I would assume something like the McLaren F1 would be best as it is very low, and has a similar length to the 917. I think the R10 would be out of the question at this point to be honest, but I think the 917 could work. Basically the interior also has a similar shape and size to the 917. They'd also match up with performance... well actually the only car that would match with performance would be the ME Four Twelve, but that car is too fast for the game.

Yeah, it has to be something pretty fast. The 917 had 1580hp (yes, I know O.O) with qualifying tuning and about 1100-1200hp with race tuning. It could reach a top speed of nearly 250mph too. Quite impressive from a 1970s car, eh? Way ahead of it's time in my opinion.

Looks awesome Frank :thumbsup: Can't wait for the release, always loved the 1990s 3 and 5 series BMWs.

I am unofficially announcing today that the Porsche 917 will be coming to TDU. The Porsche 917 is considered one of the greatest racecars ever built. It was first used in the 1969 Le Mans series. It still remians one of the best. Thanks to Frank Wienberg (of Oahu Independent Tuners), the mesh of the 917 will be here sometime within the next 3 weeks or so. Once he finishes the mesh, I will take over with the texturing and mapping. I can't tell yet which car it will replace, I will have to do some research first to determine that. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/joshpettry/Car/Europe/German/Porsche/917/Porsche917x70xGulf.jpg Here are the first pictures of the mesh. Thanks again Frank!

Probably because people make some stupid requests sometimes. Like of cars that are of very little variation of a car already in TDU. Either that or some ricer. Not to mention everyone wants the same kind of cars, like supercars for example. The Porsche 917 will be a one of a king for TDU. I want to put this in TDU because it's an awesome car and because it's the kind of car we have never seen in TDU. TDU has very few classic cars, let alone racecars. And definitely no classic racecars, which is what this is. Frank Weinberg has already agreed to make the mesh for the Porsche 917, which leaves me with texturing and mapping.

Okay, I have added you. Thank you!

I think because my request for a Porsche 917 is going completely ignored, I think I am going to step up and say that I may be making one myself. The problem is I have no modeling experience or modding experience, so it's going to be a difficult journey. That's why I need your help. Could someone post a few GOOD modeling tutorials that would be easy for a beginner to understand. I want to first get the model done, then worry about making it compatible for TDU. Any help would also be GREATLY appreciated. This car needs to be in TDU, no other mod for TDU will be close to it. I may also be making either a Porsche 956, Porsche 962, or an Audi R8 (Le Mans prototype), R10, or R15.

Bump this thread, sorry I didn't search earlier. I want this car too!

Awesome! I'm always glad to welcome an SUV into the game, it's nice to drive one once in a while.

Yeah, take your time Tool. Quality over quantity :).

Lol dude... same username :D The Reventon owns.

I think you should add the 5 spokes and the center emblem, it look good with it.

Could you post a picture of a real one so we can see for comparison? It will make it easier to determine what would look better.

Basically, it just needs to be scaled up. It need to be a bit taller, wider, and longer. Proportional scale would work perfectly.

That too! I'd cry to see either one in TDU, the R10 is awesome. Hell, look at my current computer background! http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f336/Slunk_Hunter/R10Desktop-1.png [mod edit:] Please do not post images larger than 800w x 640h or more than 350KB in filesize, use a thumbnail or a text link instead, thanks!
