Yea thats really realistic the way the side pods have dents in them..lol

Kind of cool except I'm pretty sure those carbon fiber side pods would break rather than bend. Carbon fiber doesn't dent very well. "Damien Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bdljtc$t5fhj$[email hidden]...

Ouch! Anybody want to buy a slightly used Minardi, cheap? :-) Eldred -- Help find missing child: Tatianna Ashley Chillcutt from Michigan(info on my homepage) Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

That's not my point.. I think it's cool that it CAN do dents, not because its' realistic in F1 or anything.. but because it means that MODDERS will have damageable cars.. as apposed to, just rear wings popping off.

Good point. We will now be able to put nice big dents in our favorite sports cars. ;o) "Mike Beauchamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:f1ILa.37793$[email hidden]... > That's not my point.. > I think it's cool that it CAN do dents, not because its' realistic in F1or > anything.. but because it means that MODDERS will have damageable cars..as > apposed to, just rear wings popping off. > > Mike > http://mikebeauchamp.com >

Carbon fiber doesn't dent very well. I believe someone on the simbin.co.uk forum is editing the default models so that the cars split apart more realistically (a'la GP4). This feature exists in F1C but ISI apparently didn't have time to fully implement it in the default cars. Jason

Not sure - but some slightly used Arrows just got bought by the slightly used Minardi team. Does that count? Doug

For some reason, I don't think I can dent my sidepods. Is this a config file thing? A Minardi thing? Or am I just not trying hard enough <g>

>For some reason, I don't think I can dent my sidepods. Is this a config file >thing? A Minardi thing? Or am I just not trying hard enough <g> Go to the damage.ini file in the Vehicles folder and adjust a few values: (my values are here, not the defaults!) VertMult=2.0 // Multiplied by aero damage to get vert damage [VERTEX] DefaultLimit=0.65 // Only 15 cm of deformation - carbon-fibre actually shatters To make the suspenion bend easier and the wheels fall off more often, adjust this: WheelBend=800.0 // Impulse to bend wheel WheelDetach=3000.0 // Threshold to detach wheel Now, if you really wallop something good, you'll absolutely destroy your car (not 100% realistic to carbon fibre destruction, but still your car gets royally f'ed), and in minor to medium accidents you'll do a more reasonable level of damage to your car.

I should have added that this was done with a tweaked config file - purely as a demonstration of what the game engine is capable of. I really wish it were possible for the wheels to stay attached and flop around as per the new safety regulations.
