70's mid-engined

A front-engined design converted to mid-engine!
Weight distribution F/R 31/69 with a 6L V8.

Just epic win, love the stripe affect.

That looks sharp! How did you rig it up to be mid engine?

Same question here

[ThomasD1962]

For this car find the following map: C:\ProgramData\Automation\Assets\Cars\Front\Large\70sCoupe02.
Copy this map to the Cars\Mid\Large map.
Locate the body.lua file, edit it in a text editor and insert the following: RearFirewallRatio = 0.95,
Do that after the text --How much of this extra length is firewall ?.
Save the body.lua file and (re)start the game.
Be sure to make a back-up first!

Have fun!!

Ordered this gem from my friendly not-Ford dealer...

Yep. I know about that issue.
I use it to tow my caravan
I'll have a look after the weekend.

[ThomasD1962]

Messed around with the parameters but so far no luck.

[ThomasD1962]

Found it!
-Change FirewallRatio from 0.30 to 0.15
-Change MorphTail from 100 to -10

That should do the trick. If not, let me know.

Cheers!

Is it normal that you get a Lua error?

[ThomasD1962]

Is it normal that you get a Lua error?

You get lua errors when you have all the grills installed from the 3D artist pages.
When you scroll down to the next page, you get an error but not a crash.
What did you build?
I tried it with longitudinal as well as transverse configs without problems.


(BTW, Peugeot 604 = +1!)

The game crashed when I clicked the Trim button after building the engine... Mid-engined 4.4L V8 RWD
