Not that I don't appreciate the effort...but I don't have a flash drive. And when I tried to copy to my phone and laptop.... It want to open as zip....I refer to my earlier replies re zip files... Again thanks though it much appreciated.

Have you tried to download them directly on your ps3?

Notes

Shima's Blackbird, this version is his early story car. With stock power, the car is still capable of hitting 300kmh.

For this replica, I used real life springs ratio, taken from 930 Turbo with JRZ RS Pro Coilover Damper kit, Swift main springs and helper springs were used. I adapted the setup with stiffer spring rate as the real car has 1040kg dry weight, and this Blackbird tips the scale at 1165kg. I have to add ballast and install weight reduction as I wanted to also replicate the real car weight distribution at 38/62 ( based on 930 Turbo ). Some even reported to have 37/63 with mods, but I can't afford to have that as it will increase the weight even more.

Damper has been tuned in to support the new weight balance, rear damper is set to give the best possible traction on medium speed to high speed corners as it will live as a Wangan car.

LSD uses Paul Guard with 30/80 setup, I adapted the LSD with medium locking on acceleration and high locking on braking side, preload also on medium. A balance for comfort and sports tire.

Gearing remains stock, as I felt the top speed is more than adequate.

I tuned and tested the car at various tracks from Tsukuba, SSR7, Ascari, Willow Springs, Bathurst, Brands Hatch GP, and Silverstone GP.

When tested at Tsukuba it managed to easily rival Ferrari F40 real world lap time at 1:03.73. The Blackbird did 1:03.70 with comfort soft and I see more time to be gained. The Blackbird also drives great at Ascari, easily capable of 2:30s lap.

The Blackbird also tested at SSR7, and I like it there, drives very well on comfort soft

I look forward for feedback on the car - power figure and visual parts :


ENJOY

UPDATE : Added optional street ride height.

In anticipation to this car, I ran it on Tsukuba to see what kind of baseline I could manage to set up. This is a fun car to drive on its own, so it will be interesting to compare this ride after it has your tune applied.

Got the Blackbird updated, aim for 1:03s at Tsukuba on Comfort Soft I tested it on SH for 1 lap, low 1:02s, easily capable of 1:01s

I won't even say my time at this point

Something about me and cs tires just don't mix. I will say this though. This car by far has more mechanical grip than the F40. As you can actually feel the physics IMO, opposed to the F40 where you feel like you are on ice.

That's what camber can do to a car , lower the F40 camber to 0.3 or 0.00, front and back, and feel the grip You are free to fine tune the camber, the settings I posted are just for reference really to show what used in real life If you want more performance, lower the camber, coz PD screws it up

Agreed. How could they mess up the camber so bad on GT6?? I mean its an import part of the theme of realism for PD.

I will double check however I believe I already brought the camber down on the F40 considerably.

Now as for this 911. On SH tires I managed to get her into the low 1:02.2xx. I dunno about the 1:01's..maybe if I were to change the tranny...put the 5 or 6 speed. I mean with the current tranny on this short track... I am using 2 gears.. 2nd and 3rd..with a quick pop into 4th bringing me down to 6000rpm...


To tell you the truth I really just need more traction when getting on the fuel at corner exit and I would be happier than a pig in you know what

OK...so I went back yo the F40 CS tires 1:03.4xx... On SH tires I am @ 1:01.4xx As far as bringing the F40 into the 1:02's on CS...possible yes...probable?? Mmmm not for me anyway with the current set up. I have a little more moment in that camber I will adjust and let you know...with the SH tire... The F40 is fastest at the moment on Tsukuba.

Could you try to make replicas of the following cars, please?
BMW M4 Coupe DTM (480 CV)

Audi RS5 DTM (based on RS6) (460 CV)
Mercedes-Benz CLK AMG 55 (to replicate the DTM version) (450 CV)

I think that dtm cars aren't replicable, because they have nothing in common with their road legal counterpart, apart from the name, roof line and headlights

I'm not sure some of those cars can reach the target power I will make a note of them, but for now, I wanted to finish the rest of GT3 cars and Wangan Midnight and also the real life worklist. Once those are done, I will make a new list of cars to be done

You can try run with rear zero camber and some camber at the front, to reduce oversteer on exit, this will also add understeer on entry, you can try 0.2 to 0.5 at the front Increasing rear toe close to 0.40 also might help.

Alright. Just take your time. Is only one tune per week, right?

That's the minimum Yes.

Currently I am testing the Mclaren MP4 12C GT3 at Bathurst and Silverstone GP, I am also experimenting with camber this time, will have 3 sets of suspension alignment setup. The usual 0.2 camber and usual toe, then 2 level of camber and toe, these gives certain driving sensation that I also like, not necessarily as quick as zero camber, but fun nonetheless and lap time becomes closer to real life times.

Notes :
A work in progress base tune replica for Emil Frey Jaguar G3. The car is much slower than the Camaro GT3 road car. With more than 100kg over weight, the lowest it can go is around 1350+kg . Still with Blancpain power figure 500HP, the car is a few seconds off pace.

I am thinking of increasing power to match power/weight ratio of the real car.

Suspension and LSD are tuned for base setup, the car has bad habits of breaking away mid corner on medium to high speed curves. This has been lessened, but can still appear.

Feel free to leave any feedback about the car

UPDATE : Credits goes to @danbojte for the feedback, tune has been updated with lower front ARB at 2, neutral front toe, lower LSD accel and brake, as well as no ABS wheel brake balance recommendation. Thanks 👍

I've started my build. Just one little thing...You've chosen the Ray's 57 Extreme. However looking closely at the photos of this car...are they not the BBS LM-R?

Also the wing doesn't appear to have the curve..more like E maybe?....nope my bad...found more pics and the wing does have that contour to it, so maybe it could have both versions??...the wheels however the more I look at it are the BBS LM-R

OK...first impressions of this build....Awesome! This car has amazing grip and feel. I've only taken around Bathurst a couple of laps, of which haven't done much running there since your Audi R-8 build lol. Will have to tweak the final gear as I am running out of legs on that long stretch and hitting the rev limiter...also might...put a little camber in up front...congrats...will share a some video once I've done some laps on the other tracks

Hey Rodox, so I tuned that Jag, and have to say it handled very good. There is nothing bad I can really say about this tune. The only thing I think worth mentioning is that if you're going to run on bumpy tracks like Nordschleife you'll need to tweak the dampers IMO, cause she like to play Hop Scotch every time she even gets a near a bump lol. Bathurst it wasn't noticeable until I got on that long last stretch, where I also found out I needed more legs and it the rev limiter. Ride height may also need to be adjusted.

Anyway here are video of the three tracks that I ran to share....thanks for the tunes, I really enjoyed setting building this car and testing based on your setup

First is Mount Panorama, Bathurst Australia. Correction, In my narration I say that I am on RS. That is incorrect. I am on RH's.





Next up is Tsukuba, Japan




Finally, Nordschleife, Nurburgring Germany

I just like the way the spokes stands out on the RAYS, I will add BBS LM-R on the tune.

Thanks Nomad, the tune is considered a base, so if you feel the need to soften the damper or increase the ride height on certain track like Nordschleife, do it Unique tracks requires some tweaks here and there, there's no single magic tune that works on all tracks

Notes :


The McLaren is one of the most fun replica I ever built

This base GT3 replica has only 500PS and 1240kg, but it's performance is on par with proper GT3 racing cars on similar power.

I provided 3 different sets of camber this time, feel free to try all of them, and pick the one that gives the best feel on the track. Everything from spring rate, damper and ARB has been tuned to work with all 3 camber sets, toe also tailored to suit on each camber setup.

LSD is 1.5 way this time to make the car easier to push with camber setup.

For gearing, I have no good information on the ratio, some sites mention Ricardo 6 speed, others mention Xtrac 6 Speed, so I decided to use 416 Xtrac ratio, and it worked quite well on the car, giving ample top speed and acceleration. The gear can be used for engine braking effectively for stabilizing the car under heavy braking or just to help the nose pointed on apex in medium and low speed corners. Never fear to shift down on 1st and 2nd to help the car change direction.

I tuned/tested at Silverstone GP, Bathurst and Nordschleife this time. Even with High Camber setup, the MP4-12C GT3 is capable of 2:02s lap at Silverstone GP on RH tire.

The camber setup has been tested on RH tire only, take your own risk using it on SS tire

ENJOY

Hey @Nomad67 , when you do a Free Run from the garage and you want a "replica" experience, don't forget to go to the Track Settings and select "Real" for the track edges. 👍

Thanks Danbojte, the link code has extra ', I fixed it, and added the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 as well. I think this McLaren is just as quick as the Ferrari 458 GT3

Yes. I am faster...in fact 2ths faster...even with a 3.8F and 3.1R camber setting that I had set up last night for picture taking purposes.


I personally don't usually see too much difference between the two.... I keep everything default as that's how I started with the videos and for continuity sake. I will post the video of that recent run with all that camber and settings to "Real"

I don't know about the camber but what I've proposed to you (the "Real" setting) is related to the grip on the track edges. 👍

Great!! I'll try this as soon as I can, really loved cbarbosa's replica, so I'm sure that I'll love this equally
In the next few days (probably even today) I'll give a try and see what is better (obviously related to my personal driving style)
