Please note this is not a complete car mod. This package is only the files I have modified. There is a link located within the README.txt that will direct you to the full mod, which my files will then overwrite! <br>
<br>
That said!<br>
Thanks for trying my mod! If you like it, let me know, if you don&apos;t, definitely let me know! The version number may say 1.1 but I consider this mod a work in progress still. I want folks to really be pleased and enjoy this car, so I refuse to let it sit half-finished if that&apos;s the consensus!<br>
<br>
(Below is a direct copy of large portions of the README.txt located in the .zip!)<br>
<br>
B.Gili and his group did all of us a big favor by introducing this Mercedes into Assetto Corsa, on the surface, its an awesome mod.<br>
But something felt off, the car felt too...planted. Too nimble in ways I wasn&apos;t expecting it to be. This is a car from the 1950s,<br>
and I don&apos;t know about you guys but I was thrown off by the modern license plate and driver model.<br>
<br>
So I started tweaking things and fixing them as I saw fit for a more immersive, properly driving Mercedes.<br>
In no particular order, they include:<br>
-Fixing the lights to work with the latest CSP pack<br>
-Replacing the driver with a 1950s version who looks more in place among a pack of 1950s racers<br>
-scripting out the license plate to be invisible. (Where we&apos;re going, we don&apos;t need registration)<br>
-Replacement of the sound pack to a new one that more correctly fits the M 196 S engine<br>
<br>
New effects included are:<br>
-An impulse tachometer, so you can see what your RPMs were 2 seconds ago.<br>
-Body flex has been coded in, though you wouldn&apos;t know if I told you, the frame&apos;s very rigid but hey, it felt wrong to leave it out.<br>
-Exhaust shake removed, the pipes were clearly strapped to the frame and bolted down. Sorry.<br>
<br>
New Physics:<br>
-Fuel tank moved to its proper location<br>
-Fuel capacity updated, more on that in a minute<br>
-fuel consumption updated<br>
-Engine parameters tweaked<br>
-Updated gears and final drives to match real ratios used in 4 races, the Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, the Tourist Trophy, and Le Mans<br>
-Rewrote suspension logic to implement a proper &quot;swing axle&quot; feeling on the rear end<br>
-New 1950s-esque tires<br>
-Engine and transmission damage model tuned for more proper damage<br>
-Brakes updated to better reflect drum brakes of the era<br>
<br>
To me, this feels more like the fire-breathing dragon that Mercedes rocked the racing world with in 1955.<br>
The setup that comes with the car is pretty tame, you can make it looser for sure and probably get it going faster.<br>
But remember, this is a 1950s F1 car in a nicer suit, it will try to bite you at inopportune moments.<br>
Different gear sets reflect the tracks they were meant to be raced on. You will find the Mille Miglia set to be the most &quot;Generalist&quot; set,<br>
it is also the set currently fitted to Chassis 005/55 today at Cite de l&#x2019;Automobile!<br>
<br>
The fuel capacity is set to 260 liters. Mercedes had a set of tanks they could fit to the car to match wherever they were racing it.<br>
For more immersion, you can cap yourself to:<br>
-200<br>
-245<br>
-248<br>
or 260 liters depending on course length. The full 260 would have likely been used in the Mille Miglia or the Carerra Panamericana, for reference.<br>
<br>
Credits for this mod shouldn&apos;t be last but I think its important to understand that all of the above wouldn&apos;t have been possible without those listed below.<br>
-B.Gili/the MNBA Modding group for providing the car in the first place<br>
-Supraboy981322, whose suspension and tire updates on Overtake.gg I&apos;ve used as a base for building on, which helped me find some missing pieces to the puzzle<br>
-ValentinK in the THRacing discord who provided me with tons of info from the Mercedes 300SLR bible<br>
-Bazza and the gang at THRacing for their engine soundpack, as well as a starting point on the rear axle logic. Try their stuff!<br>
-My wife, who has the patience of a dozen saints, having to listen to me blab about this silly silver car raced the year her mom was born.<br>
Thanks, all of you!<br>
<br>
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the car as much as I have enjoyed getting it to where it is now.<br>
