You have only 3 gears? For a shitbox would be even realistic to it tops out at 120 to 150 kph at 5 gear
I've chased up a ton of people today, but please if you haven't already submitted your file get it in here
Entries were supposed to close tomorrow morning, but now i can validate files much quicker than i anticipated and already have like 20 done so i don't mind if you're running a bit behind! Just let me know!!!
#1499515585669758976 message
if you want to try the validator yourself the .exe is here
😭 i shouldn't have left this to do at last moment possible
lol you can do it
Funky trees can really add to the enshittification of a shitbox
How do you guys make reflective surfaces?
go into the custom paint section and increase the smoothness, also turn on real time reflections
Aight thanks
Time with proper shitbox mode xD
that music hits hard lol
Don't think I could hit the 30 sec mark anymore lol
i've been testing diagonal wheel drive with diagonal steering and it would 100% be viable if there were more time to tune it
its absolutely insane in the slow speed and the same as normal in the high speed, just harder to control and needs some better suspension and brake tuning.
admin he’s doing it sideways !
lmaoo phoon
its actually kinda crazy tho i wish i explored this better a few days ago when i came up with it, just didnt have the know-how to make it work well back then
looks stupid asf tho so maybe thats good
It has been sent (again)
@crisp musk it’s coming along even worse :)
?
is Friction Force Point supposed to be 0% like the validator says or 100% like the regs say?
oh nvm
I forgot that I deleted and replaced my front wheels yesterday and then misread the validator 💀
how do i make my car stop turning when going straigth?
that could be a million different things send the xml
oki oki
do i send it here?
yea'
it drives in a pretty straight line
the traction settings do not meet the rulebook btw
im fixing it dont worry
huh thats wierd
Four. I hardly ever shift into fourth gear though.
The thing is, i did not build the car for the track.
I built the car, and only then started getting lap times.
@undone fox how much extra time can I get? Because my vehicle is done but I couldn't send the final version yesterday because I had something else to do I will only be able to send it 8 hours later then now. If it is not possible I will use the older submitted version but I wanted to ask.
Oh no...
9:00 UTC+
Can you convert that into PDT lol. Fish is dumb.
OH SHT I HAVE LIKE ONE HOUR LEFT
Yea whenever you can is fine!! Its easy to validate stuff now so i'm way more relaxed. You can just send it by DM!
its ok if you need more time just tell me
i should have made the validator and distributed it with the rules and that would have made the whole submission thing way easier, oh well lesson learned for next time!
OK cool we have like 10 more submissions this morning i was a bit worried we'd only get like half the people who signed up. I'll be doing more validating today and contacting people.
I have a big spreadsheet keeping track of everyone and their status as well as where their car is because the google form can't be updated..
IF YOU'RE NOT READY JUST LET ME KNOW ITS FINE!! As long as you're good to go by the weekend i'm sure i can fit you in!
Also, yeah. It’s gonna take me some time to write a manual for this abomination and also write a script for it. So far this thing has already given one person a migraine. I want to do better.
I wonder how well this version of my nug will do in the bridge touge (this has almost 3x the power, its 200kg lighter, and has downforce, absolutely not compliant to the rulebook lol)
3x power is a lot, i bet it can do a 1:10
I think if I could tame it, maybe a flat 1
Nah even the maxi does like a 1.15
How powerful is the engine of that?
this is hard to control at over 140kmh
Yeah, did you make the tyres more grippy?
mouse steering is too sensitive for this without my speed gain thingy on the steering code
yes
Enough that you don’t get to use all of it
here's the xml of the r-spec if you guys wanna try it
its not as stable as maxi (because of the RR setup and rear weight bias) but thats what makes it fun to drive around
I'll mess around with this to sorta optimize it in the track
@crisp musk If I may ask how do you make spoilers that create downforce?
just invert the airfoil or angle them downwards
Thanks.
Maybe we can do another version with our souped up nuggets
yea maybe we'll do a demolition derby and crash the server or something on monday
OK We have 21 cars validated and ready to go!
Another 9 just needing some last minute changes
and about 5-10 people not sure/hoping to attend! With a bit of luck we might get 30 runs

ooh the dangling license plate is a great touch
I love the design of the front end too
(please don't bypass the automod)
when start event?
if you can't make any of those times let me know!!
currently on 26 valid entries, 9 awaiting final touches and another 5~ maybes!
how do i know if my entry was valid?
i sent you a DM!
Ohhh i see
do i need to re apply after the fixes?
or like i can send it in dm
you can just send it to me via DM or make another reply to the google form if you can, the google form has been hard to edit for some people and i'm very dissapointed with it/won't use it again!
i'm keeping track of all the files so it won't get lost
okey then i send a dm soonly thank you!!
Soonly.
K. I’ve seen like 1 million other people do it lol
wheres your car?
It’s like one in the afternoon where I am lol. I should have it done within the next few hours.
this whole shaboing is only possible thanks to dorians help so any intentional annoying him is 100000000 second time penalty 😉
… fish sad
Also, I don’t want you to see the car until we end up recording. Is there anyway you can run the script without looking at the car?
there are minor things i have to visually confirm but i can hold off until we do the recording, verification is much easier and quicker than i anticipated
i trust your ability to follow the rule set
Thanks! I’m hoping to get your genuine first reaction to the car when we record. The only thing that’s a tiny bit of a loophole are the pistons for the googly eyes. Which you said I could use.
Oh, and if you don’t mind, I used a few other pistons to do some cosmetic things that may make it violate the height regulation, but it doesn’t affect the performance at all.
Where is the official link to submit my car? I’ve been so busy working on it that I haven’t been paying attention to everything else lol
if your car is sufficiently impressive for me to put it last then i can bait the viewers into ' (influencer voice) watch till the end to see the most CRAZY car ever'
Good. It should tell you something that I’ve used almost every single AG group… oh yeah, and the brake pedal is a lever on the left wall…
I know this may be a bit overdoing it, but can I also include a script for you to read? Since I’m not using my real voice, and I’m assuming we’re gonna be in a discord call, some sort of audible queue to tell me when to do what might be nice.
yea sure
I may also make a totally separate version just for fun that screams like a Jericho horn lol.
I’ll tag you in an unlisted build with a script since Google forms is horrible for writing long things lol.
yea or DM
Sounds good.

how tf
we losin these
NO WAY MY FISH CAR MIGHT WORK NOW
what hill climb race is being used?
Bridged Touge
i dont know if i have that unlocked...
i'll try and find it
yeah, i dont have it unlocked haha
@undone fox I don't want to miss a scheduled time slot... when will I know when to log in?
Aw nuts I was planning on finishing my build on Saturday
That’s on my for not reading the rules lol
you can finish this weekend!!
as long as its done before the end of sunday i can fit you in i'm not as worried as i was at the start!!
Sorry i will make the rules clearer next time!
in about 2 hours 20 minutes i will be on, then i will be on for 13 hours! Any time today and tomorrow just turn up!
Awesome sauce
Just wait until you see my superior eyeballs.
complete with loose parcels lol
How did you manage to actually replicate how my packages are dropped off?
i can't wait to see these hit the track
I was busy this week, so, I started building after the deadline. But I just wanted to try making something to spec.
I forget, are points awarded for presentation or just for the build itself (and race time obviously)
i mean this looks great, if you can finish it by end of tomorrow you can participate
equal points for presentation AND time!! Winners for presentation, time and overall!
i have a points system somewhere..
Cool. I'll see what I can do!
here is the validator .exe if you want to use it, just run this (windows only) drag and drop the file and it will tell you if your car is valid and if not why
its just a python app nothing else, i will do it for you if you don't want to download a weird executable from a stranger
I wrote a script to present my car. 
forgiv the crappy zoom but here is the points scale, it gives points for the top 50 places in each catagory, so being consistent over both disciplines is key to winning!
my two cyl just screamin at 6k rpm on the track is gonna be fun
also 17mins before the event begins
i'm just finishing up last few things! (deleting my 50gb davinci resolve cache)
cool, I'll just take a short rest before the event begins
and maybe drink some coffee as well
is everyone gonna be hopping into a vc or smth?
yea i will be in VC3 shortly, you can join any time to do your run
Ok starting now!
ALSO WE ARE IN THE BETA!! PLEASE UPDATE TO THE BETA VERSION!
I'll be on momentarily.
will the camera man be streaming?
coz while i cant participate, i would like to watch
no sadly but it will be captured and put into a broadcast
i am interested in watching too..!
sadly my pc isn't powerful enough to record, host and broadcast
are you also gonna be the spectator cam for future broadcast?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RoclpHKecXW8mPaL2Rr-p46bNlxEcj8eTNT9HutN8Jg/edit?usp=sharing
updated leaderboard!!
If you are ready just join the VC!!!!
I think I just need to finish the rear-end. And add a bunch more weight for the minimum spec. But I'll have to do that tomorrow. It's 3:30 am. 😅
I'm readding the steering dampener code my previously have and making the 5th gear a tad bit longer
If anyone is ready to go just shout!!!
funny quote
@undone fox
got our first 8 entries complete! Lots of great cars, fast laptimes and the odd crash! Still on for another 8 hours and 40 minutes today, and all day tomorrow. When you're ready just join the VC or send me a ping!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RoclpHKecXW8mPaL2Rr-p46bNlxEcj8eTNT9HutN8Jg/edit?gid=0#gid=0
preliminary laptime leaderboard is here!
2 times in the 33s, nice
im just grabbing some food next 10-15 becaue i expect to be busy soon!
Are we racing on the beta version? The beta version fixed the graphics issues with my car.
yes!
SWEEET
d-spec lol
I should slam my car too.
and make it in to a drift car as well
Eh, front wheel drive drift car?
convert it to rwd
I feel like i should specify, i want to make it for the memes, i don't actually think it looks good.
here my experimental nug if you wanna drift around in the map
this is optimized for mouse steering
Reminder we are still open for about another 4hrs and 30 minutes! Join VC any time when you are ready!
more nug drifting
I shall join soon
As shall I
@undone fox still not able to race yet, but I need to ask, did my car pass validation?
i will check it later when you come to submit so i don't spoil my result
Sounds good.
@quick tusk when would you like to do your run?
In a few minutes probably.
I need the server password lol
omw i was just having a banana
Sounds good.
I will be ready in a few minutes, having trouble with my mic setup...
no prob just ping me when you are ready!
How many folks that were signed up are left? @undone fox
don't actually know!! We've had 21 so far i expect about 30-35 all said and done
a bit later i will check off my spreadsheet and anyone i've not heard from i will send a message to
@undone fox I'm ready to do my run now
ok we are entering the final hour of todays session! I will take the last entry at 23:00 UTC+1 so in 1 hour!!!!
Will be on all day tomorrow too, you can join any time you see me in vc
also i'm deciding that barrier hits on the final corner for today are NOT RECEIVING PENALTIES
please don't smack off the barrier in the final turn in a manner that is saving you time compared to if there was no barrier and you went off the track. For future runs i may impose a 1s penalty for anyone who hits it at speed. This isn't trackmania theres no wall strats 😉
sorry i should have clarified this earlier it was just one thing that i forgot to do
i may dub a roblox oof noise onto any barrier hits
omg im looking through the footage from today and we had so many cool cars i can barely even remember them all!!
Hurrah, because in my case it actually slowed me down. I would've had a 1:32 🙁
yea it does lose time for sure but it just looks bad, i'd hate to have like the overal winner clonk off the barrier in their run it would be a bummer
That is fair. Just a thought for the future but maybe instead of penalties for this, you could award extra 'style points' for a clean run so the times arent touched.
yea thats a good idea 'clean lap bonus'
OK last calls for today!!!!
i have to go to bed and finish up stuff before then so i will be logging off and muting discord until i wake up tomorrow! If you need any help it will be then don't worry! I'll do everythig i can to fit you all in tomorrow
btw what are the 3 experimental friction sliders and what do they do???
Can someone give me a rough idea where the hill climb course is? I don't believe I have it discovered yet.
Sweet. Thank you!
does the force feedback work?
No :/
It kinda feels like you're driving a boat too. The wheels are very slidy with these settings
yes.
waddup GM all, i will be back online again in about 100 minutes! For another 13 hours until 23:00 UTC+1 today is the final day, if you've not already ran you will be getting a check up DM! Apologies for pestering
we had 24 runs today! We had about 50 people total sign up so if we can clear 35 that would be amazing!!
by my count we've got about another 12 people who have all signed up/validated and said they intend to join! So with some stragglers/maybes we might even hit 40!
I keep getting 1:55 times lol
can't wait to race later today! just submitted!!!!
OK the festival is now open for the final day, just hop in the VC or ping me when you are ready to join!
if its ok try not to crowd the vc unless you're doing a run, i have to get a head start on editing work so i can't chat much!
@undone fox
I ready to join but my mic is broken
ok thats cool!
Where do we submit our cars?
It's still slightly crazy to me that there were two ZAZ entries.
its also kinda crazy that there are two fiats, and two person that got identical times
Imagine if there was a Driftwood Festival of Slow 2: Electric Boogaloo and it all would just be electric cars.
Jundroo, electric engines when?
Think it's possible by doing some magic on the hinge rotator, remembered when I downloaded an SUV that was powered purely by that. But there won't be a range limit
you could probably do a range limit thingy with ft
fridgebox
ok if its quiet for a bit im going to be working on the edit! Anyone who wants to do their run just ping me or join vc!
(just having lunch)
ok anyone ready to go just shout me!!
backing up my footage (30gb+) !!
OK i'm going to a private VC for a little bit to do my own run!!
ok got my run done as well as a few fun exhibitions! @obsidian cave will verify my time 😆
I'm curious how will you make the video, will it have some complete footage ?
we have footage from the camera rig made by baconegg, also a lot of people have submitted their POV
it will look good after a lot of editing
Can't wait for it !
I also do have 1-2 cars without pilots due to the creators being busy, if anyone would like to drive a strangers car and hopefully not crash it let me know!
I'm here.
come to vc pls!
@wise fulcrum I ran your car for the event, in testing I was able to get it down to around a 1:33, and in the event I was able to run a 1:34. I hope that's a good run and what you wanted out of the car.
the time gap is so tight lol
I had to tap the brakes on the straight because I was genuinely scared I was going to wreck out, it's a great car but it's super floaty, and bouncy. I think I hit almost 135km/h going around the long corner on the first short straight.
The thing that brought it down was the grip I feel like, I wasn't able to hold any of the speed it had going up the hills, and that's a major killer for time.
Going around the corner on that first uphill you have to slow down otherwise you slide into the barrier so I went up around 97km/h, vs my own car I'm able to flat out and do about 103km/h uphill.
Much much more than what i expected! That's absolutely amazing, 6 dm'd me about it, best i did was 1.46.6, i must be washed (i wouldn't doubt it, i haven't done any league racing in a few months..)
But i'm so glad it went well, hope you liked it!
It by far was not a sportscar by design, wobbly lil guy, i tried to make it fun before fast, at least to me
ok!!! i think thats everyonee im not anticipating anyone else
i will be around for 2 more hours if i forgot anyone! just shout me
I had no idea my car would perform at all lol. Thanks @hidden dust for driving it while I am away. Appreciate it!
Krumm was very helpful and did a great getting it round!!
i just did your presentation too and its going in the edit for the judges
also @violet kraken did an amazing job driving for @eternal creek
That’s amazing. Thanks a lot. I hope to be able to be there for future events
im so glad so many people got to take part!!
im happy to have the fastest car lol
cubestang
i will get an unlisted compilation out tomorrow for everyone to watch
here was my car lol
you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RoclpHKecXW8mPaL2Rr-p46bNlxEcj8eTNT9HutN8Jg/edit?gid=0#gid=0
preliminary timing board and points for the hillclimb now up!
will be confirmed with the full results
OK the video for the judges is going out shortly. They are very graciously giving their time to help out with this so we can thank them by not rushing them 🙂
I had to double check the regulations to see it was a 'maximum' of four wheels. I should have build a motorcycle. 😄
oh boy, he's bending his own rules xD
i did specify somewhere that i'm fine with 3 wheels as long as its a '3 wheel car' not a '3 wheel bike' or 'track toy'
im actually surprised nobody else tried it, i think i maybe scared some people away by being a bit hard nosed at the start, definitely for the future i will make sure the rules are more clearly defined, i will incorporate the validator program from the start and it will be much more direct. It passes = its fine, it doesn't = no
this whole event was just a test/proof of concept that went very well!
I think it's fair enough, all racing regulations will have this type of situation, it's part of the competitive aspect of it
find some weird thingy that can be done under the rule set
I think you're alright. I doubt anyone was really scared away from from a three-wheeler, it's just a bit more a technical challenge to get right.
there is a pace advantage there but i would honestly be surprised to see anyone else make it work as well as i did, i was pushing 25's in practice
there are a lot of smaller things i did that everyone else missed too
I'd be curious to see, after the main presentation video, a separate video with breakdown on how you built your car and tweaks you added.
yea i captured all the footage of me making it, i will do that video eventually
I did some small stuff, like adding camber and toe to the wheels, but I doubt it did much consider how I didn't really tune the engine at all.
one thing everyone missed was i made my suspension extensio very long, so the suspension rolls into the corners nicely and stays in contact with the ground, its similar to softening an anti roll bar, same effect
and LOMG first gear for launches, shifting at lower RPM, using the games cooked flywheel physics
The only thing I would suggest would be to have a proper tire compound, so we would need to adjust grip with tire size and not editing grip.
I really, really want to see that video
The part that bothered me the most was the lack of an in-game check like we had back in SP1. A Judge.exe or something similar to ensure everything was in order. I had to constantly have a calculator, a translator, a page reader, and four tabs open simultaneously, and without any track unlocked. I did everything almost blindly 😂
I'm surprised how the car was even functional
I will send clip it for you in the morning
I added a bit more detail to my nugget (wipers, plates, signals), and also made all the lights work properly. I feel like for the next next competition, these details could be mandatory as they add a lot to the believability.
A 4th wheel costs that much in performance?!? 🤯
My car is kinda set-up like this, with a long first gear and shorter gears after, along with a long suspension travel, but it being stupidly top heavy and being both a rear engine and rear wheel drive car made it tricky to drive at speeds, but thats what makes these types of car fun to drive at their limits
Meant I could run 90/90 traction on the fronts and a lot more damper because the values are /3 rather than /4
I tried out a bunch of silly potential exploits to see if any were so bad they would ruin the meta and luckily this was the only one with any legs
Ahh thought it'd be something like that
My disappointment is immeasurable. Sebi300f
Bruh sorry, I will get it right on the actual graphics I promise
This is just so y’all can see the results made in 1 second
... Getting beat by a car with 3 wheels is something i never thought I'd say.
when you have 700+ hours we can have a fair rematch 😂
i know the festival is kinda done, but now that i know a bit more about better car building i think imma try making a rule abidig car
nothing stopping you from doing it! b fun to see how it compares to everyone else
i gotta find some good references of a modest car that i actually like
damit, found a fun car but its too short xd
When more parts for cars get added, this will be an even better event in the future, i would absolutely participate again
We should do a 24 minutes of Lemons race now.
Just gather as much of us as possible and then race on the Driftwood raceway in our nuggets.
absolutely crash the server trying it
and the max race distance is 10 laps which is pretty short
i want timed races then we could do 24 mins of lemons
hmm, you gave me ideas
Could still be fun.
This would be quite useful. I'm gonna try to mod the game to have more laps on races but idk if i'm going to be successful, this would be my first mod for sp2. (the image is just visual)
yea keep me posted, the race protocol is dog #$%& right now it needs a lot of work, anything you could do to it would be an improvement
a 3 wheeled thing is something i had thought about on like the day of the event but obviously at that point it was way too late to explore the possibility lol
theoretically 3 wheels would let you up the values on each of your wheels and suspensions since the guidelines for those are based on totals. going that far with it might be against the spirit of things though
oh you already brought that up
yea thankfully nobody else tried it but i didn't want to ban it, while simulatneously not let out that it had legs
in the future you could consider adding per-part maximum values like you did for traction (i think it was traction anyway), so like for instance maybe none of the values in the rear suspension of your three wheeler can exceed what would be possible if you had the values of the front suspension in a four wheeler set to the bare minimum the game allows and then put the rest of your budget into the rear
or in simpler terms maybe just have all of the percentages in the front wheel considered double if you only have three wheels
maybe that kneecaps the three wheelers too heavily though; perhaps permitting them at least a little bit of extra stats might be interesting to have a reason to consider making one, but without allowing it to such a high degree that it completely offsets the problems of having three wheels
rambling done
I don't know what your computer specs are but if my computer is any better I would like to help hosting the server for the race.
9700k 2070 16gb, it could certainly be better, i am also EU based and i assume most people would be USA
could make for a useful mod sometime, though i wonder if a more elegant solution could be implemented in-game to help support community-run challenges
yea it would be very easy to build into the game, i'd love something on the server side that you can use to restrict vehicles, in the same way that i did for this. That way you can eliminate people griefing or joining specific servers to mess about. No jets in a ww2 server, no cars in an airliner server etc. Give the host an option for detailed restrictions/checksum whatever.
select overall limits, allowed/banned parts, allowed values for each part, restrict based on xml modification, certian ft stuff
My computer has a 3080 ti and 32 GB of RAM and an amd processor but I don't know it's exact details. And I am also from the EU so that is not different.
I don't know if these specs are good enough for hosting a big race but as I tested before it seemed fine with five people so there could be something like a tournament with groups of five people racing at a time.
24mins of three wheeled lemons
What 6wheel had was absolutely perfect.
Maybe you could load a "Challenge Preset .txt" the same way we load an image for blueprints.
At the corner of the designer, you would be able to set the max size, height, weight and a part count.
And for actually setting up the parts, you could drag and drop, for example, a V8 engine to an inventory and that would be it. x1 V8 engine for everyone as a restriction with the exact same stats.
It also would work with XML modded parts and chassis. You drag a bunch of parts and go.
honda acty wip
unlisted rough cut is on its way shortly just for yall to watch yourselves back, its 2.5+ hours long lol
crazy
Well, guess who’s going to watch the whole damn thing? ME
i will ask that anyone who watches it now unlisted owes me a full watch when its finished, live and my watch time counts toward my channel metrics and ad revenue 😂
(HD still processing)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbBaW-Z3Lyc
Oh its 90 minutes not 2.5 hours, resolve time code starts on a 1 for the hour number.. weird
oh lovely, thats actually watchable then, full length film
lmao what happened to the cinematic camera coverage of mvc's run
oh my god most of the run
dawg its in the forest what are we doing mang
ah finally only halfway into the run
You can finally have a glimpse at my Magnum Opus.
this is awesome I love the truck thing that goatknight made
OMG, I wish I had spent more time preparing something for the presentation.
What in the wild worlds happened with my vehicle bouncing around!
I wish i had put some funny detail in my car too, dang.
Lol. That was a good watch. Some pretty interesting vehicles for sure
The rat leather seat car.
Pretty interesting
That’s one way to call me out.
I love that you were doing a bit like it was a real truck you used for work lol
Lol. I got put on the spot with the presentation. I had to say something xD
It was a nice throwback seeing the scrimple show up @obsidian cave
Glad to have been first (after 6wheel's 3 wheeler).
42:19 PEAK
yea sorry that was just a high ping thing, happened for a few people
yea first two i forgot how the camera worked 😭 luckily we had krumms pov
oh yea im 100% beeping that in the actual video
Honestly, it's more exciting than whatever the heck I was talking about. Now I'm looking for old photos of my car for my "nostalgia" fix, wishing I had talked about the specs themselves rather than how much I enjoyed what came of following them.
I said some dumb schtick like "parameters from the specifications" like that meant ANYthing, lol.
i've had multiple requests for the story about how it 'got blown up by the navy'
I could have said the car had 4 gears, just like is should have- literally anything. Now I'm ready to get a statement from my buddy who told me they delivered my car on a cash for clunkers deal to the Base we lived by- just so I can explain that story... which I did say was for another time.
Here's the specific contract for target vehicle aquisition: https://sam.gov/opp/a89d32caa9b3d3da0656b9dffd77fe29/view
Thanks.
lol yeah first time that thing has seen the sun for a while
covered in 🤬 🤬 🤬 and 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬
That’s just me after I’m back from fishing.
my presentation was so awkward, i gotta get better at that
me too
mine was so bad 😭
same I wish I had thought of more for 6wheel to say
aw man i was hoping the really long pause after "as far as features go, we have headlights" would have made the cut lol; it came across as my mic just cutting out but it was intentional because that's the only feature the car has
i was trying to riff a goofy pirate car description on the spot without actually committing to the pirate voice so it just sounds really dumb and doesn't make sense
i didnt have a script or notes so i was just babbling about things as i remembered them
I didn’t go to that public speaking class for nothing!
i did apparently ._.
I'm quite proud of my presentation tbh.
yours was maybe the top 3 presentation i thought. Your car was excellent and your run was fast. I'm not a judge but you would have got very high score from me if I were
yea presentations will be tidied up this is just a rough cut, some stuff will come out and some will go back in
my other favorite presentations were @halcyon crypt and @night wren
Rat leather seats.
malalas whole entry was a standup set i was holding back tears
i loved konkord's "almost 90% of the budget went to the headlights and tail lights. sorry."
All my uni presentations has paid off
I just saw my run and I did a one wheel burnout!?
Souped nugget GP when
Driftwood festival of medium speed when.
Or we could go the other way. Driftwood festival of stationary.
yea no locking differential does that
my run was lovely... till i crashed, and couldnt get off a fence
Mine was also lovely. The bottom of my car just got stuck on the climb up to the bridge for some reason.
noice
I’m currently giving your Morita Dancer the Jericho treatment :)
i should see what time difference i can put on the cube with an adjusted gear ratio and the higher engine inertia thingy
the best i made with its final setup that i took to the event was a 1:30.3 but i never ever used first gear
Speaking of the Cube, shall I make it Fish³?
if you want idrc
Ye have made a grave mistake.
Would you like to be notified when the Fish³ is completed?
Fish X + 1 = Fish 3

A short story brought about by some nostalgia from playing Simple Planes 2. Based on real events in a Southern California desert town.

It's not, like, exciting or anything. Bit bluesy actually.
this is amazing
See, THIS is what I’m willing to binge watch.
Thanks!
Like telling fishing stories.
Always love telling those. I was Trout fishing once, and I caught a tractor tire. I nearly broke my rod (and my arm) getting that thing to the river bank.
OMG YES!
this was incredible
I didn't even plan to find that track in the YouTube library, but it worked so well.
I uploaded my car from the event. I spent a few more days detailing it, and re-tuning it so its specs better fit the overall design (it no longer meets the competition regulations).
I think the navy blew up his car
My presentation is quite funny to myself, I can feel my brain melting from trying to translate in my head while speaking and not just reading something xD
@undone fox just FYI: it’s “SimplePlanes 2”, not “Simpleplanes 2” :)
I mean he got it right on one of his videos 
I got monetised today so I should work out what I’m doing
Also go watch my vids and click on all the ads 😂
the ad: car^2
I did actually go through and like everything you posted to help out a bit. Unfortunately won't be clicking the ads, you never know what nasty link is behind it.
But the lonely housewives are in YOUR area
Hot single engined aircraft in your area
aiming for next friday to have all this done and posted but i will see, now im monetized this does have the potential to be quite a big video so i want to get it right, i might do another quick vid next friday if its not ready.
'final results' on their way too just pending some judges scores still!!
hopefully by the next time i do one of these i'll be better at video editing!
Link?
(Asking for a friend)
After all, this seems like a @hazy pebble thing.

can you make this POS drift? Its not set up very well
surprise a car made in an hour and a half isn't the best
it doesnt really wanna drift but I'm forcing it to
anyways, 180min 180sx when?
im gonna do a brainrot short on it later so might mess with it so i can get one half decent drift
0 minute dome zero
lol
0 minute lancia stratos cero
Lada 2104 in 2104 minutes.
my attempt at a 180sx in 180x10 mins build
after a couple hours, this 180sx is starting to look good, I also got the body shape to be "close enough" to the reference I'm using and the seams between the three sections of the body is barely visible
hear me out what if...
Sil80 my beloved
I'll do that after I'm done with the 180
although mine is not the same generation as that thing
but it should work

Hey guys, how do you make an ABS system?
use the forward slip of the wheel
this is just a sample code Brake*clamp01(ForwardSlip < 0.8)
that just turns off the brake input when the forward slip of the wheel exceeds a value of 0.8 (or atleast it should)
I've been testing on a racing setup, here what I got right now:
(
clamp(Brake,0, (Brake-((FSL+FSR+SSL+SSR)0.250.250.001))
(((sin(repeat(Time*1000,360))+1)*0.5)))
)
What I found so far. If I use only forwardslip
braking during curves will lock, the code can be cleanup... it's in a way I easily understand what I'm doing
input="Brake*(1-(clamp((W1FS+W2FS)/2,0,1)*0.7))"
the one from my car, worked really well my stoppind distance was excellent
I think TC is pretty much identical to this one as well
How's the judges stuff coming along?
My car will definitely win an award. Not a good award, but an award nonetheless.
i do have the results, im so deep in editing i'm trying to get the main video done, i'll see where i am in a couple days, i need to 'shoot' the trophy/awards section, and still need to finish the graphics.
surprise this more work than i expected 😭 i'm also trying to make it as good as it can be
I was worried when I heard this event was happening because I know how much work goes into making a video and the fact that it was being edited and done by one person made me concerned lol
doing the event was 50x easier than making the video
currently working on the thumbnail this alone is taking hours
i could squirt out the video in another day or two but i really wanna get it right, i've only got one chance to release it and i want to make it of a higher quality than my other videos, done right this could be a really big popular video, or it could get 3000 views then die on my channel forever
Would you ever want that banner tow to be at the end? I still have that saved.
Take your time and make it the way you want it.
Shitboxing

OK it is time to announce the winners!!
It was an amazing competition and every person who entered brought something unique and special, and i couldn't be happier with how things went, and how much everyone tried, and believed in the process, I'm truly grateful
Our winners are!
Overall Champion - @obsidian cave with the 'Cube' Both Dazzled the judges and lit up the timing board enough to claim overall victory.
**Car Show **- @heavy glade and the 'Brown Pearl' really raised the bar for how creative, true to the brief, and how well modelled a car could be, scoring a huge 71 points.
Hillclimb - @obsidian cave with the 'Cube' Set the fastest time of the weekend with a blistering 1.31.73
I wont risk angering the automod by tagging you all but the runners up were as followed:
**Overall **- 2nd place - MojoMcdonald - 3rd place - JamesPlanes II
Car Show - 2nd place - JamesPlanes II - 3rd place - Konkord
Hillclimb - 2nd place - Ishtar - 3rd place - Mod
I had a great time doing this and playing with you all, thanks again for taking part, i look forward to doing something like this again some day!
- 6wheel
(excuse the crappy spreadsheet there will be a better one on the video eventually)
I’m a tad bit disappointed that my car didn’t get anywhere when it came to the judges. But that’s what comes with building skills of my level I guess.
the brief was 'small cheap slow road car' and you built a breakdancing fish 😂
But it was small, cheap, and slow. I was hoping I wasn’t at least gonna be second to last place.
woah no way I was not expecting to place anywhere above the middle, thanks!
You did better than me (which is more than anything a testament to how bad I am lol)
@heavy glade i found it IRL last week
I’m more impressed that you genuinely thought to say that when you filmed it.
I cant believe they made the brown pearl a real car
the owner of this car definitely engages in illegal cheese smuggling activities and that is not a joke
I guarantee that that is false because you do not live in Italy.
a lot of sheep and goat cheese, good with presunto
ocassionaly half a wheel of some unlabelled cheese from somebodies basement turns up in my fridge

@undone fox out of curiosity what would i have placed on the scoreboard if i was eligible lol
my average car got an average score nice
custom automatic gearbox
oh that's super neat
would it be possible to incorporate the VTOL slider for some kind of "aggressiveness" control while still having it be automatic?
I've been working on a custom gearbox that have this feature, but with modes. Could be easily implement a vtol or trim as multiplayer for rpm change.
its possible
as the rpm shift points are separated from the code
also I just found out that the one I'm doing has a 5 speed manual trans, well I guess I could add manual mode
ERPM is the output of rpm of engine... max and min R are max RPM of the engine multiplied by a percentage, mine run on 94 and 72%
spagetti code, kinda like mine lol
well it works xD it uses a check state over time, getting out of N without that is a headache
the issue I had before is that it gets stuck in a gear and refuses to downshift if it misses its shift points and that issue as well, so I pretty much mimicked what a player would do (repeatedly pressing the buttons) only when it gets stuck on a gear (like neutral or one of its drive gears), it will just reset its value to zero for a very short time and it will do that until it reaches the gear it wants
GearChange
clamp((clamp01(EngineRPM>ShiftUpRPM)-(clamp01(EngineRPM<ShiftDownRPM)*clamp01(Gear>0))*clamp01(Gear>-0.01)+(-clamp01(-Pitch*clamp01(Gear<0.01)))+Pitch*clamp01(Gear<0)), -1, 1) + (EngineRPM<1170? clamp01(GearResetDN>0.9) : 0) -(Gear=0? (EngineRPM>3500? clamp01(GearResetUP>0.9) : 0) : 0)
Shift Points
Gear=0? 2500 : (SportMode? 7000 : 4500)
Gear>0? (SportMode? 4000 : 2000) : 1200
GearResetDN
clamp01(repeat(sum(clamp01(-GearChange)),1) - clamp01(GearResetDN>0.9))
GearResetUP
clamp01(repeat(sum(clamp01(GearChange)),1) - clamp01(GearResetUP>0.9))
it also has a different shift up point when its in neutral
tbh it could be made shorter and be optimized (as I definitely used redundant functions when I was making that last night) but if it aint broke then dont fix it
I'm just glad my rushed 2am build wasn't dead last 😄
idk how but this seems to be pretty driftable but the high flywheel weight kinda makes it struggle to spin the tires back up after the hand brake pull so it cant really sustain it
bgl the 180sx/s13 has a very good weight balance
wings of fire 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
That was fun. Thanks for putting on the event and congrats to everyone!
i'm thinking the video will be out next friday, with the 'full broadcast' set to be a week later so they don't conflict with each other. I'll post it her but if everyone watches it in full, leaves a comment and shares it will really help the video take off
we can have a mini watch along or something
can't wait till this is done and i can play the game again
lol. I’m trying to balance making 2 different replicas, about 7 different abomination WIPs, and a deep dive into an Israeli-Dutch plane crash coverup. I feel you.
I'm eager to watch the video, but I'm also eager to get you racing again. There's some folks that would give you a run for your money hanging around now :p
I’m trying as hard as I can to get better at driving so I can actually compete with you guys lol.
It’s just a bit more difficult on keyboard than using a steering wheel or whatever fancy stuff you guys use lol
Just any controller would work. Go to a thrift store and buy a cheap wired Xbox 360 controller even
No play! Only content!
Not the worst idea. Great for us, but horrible for him lol.
But seriously, burnout is real. You gata be having fun while you make content.
A mini watch along sounds incredible. I may have one tiny thing for you. I know I’ve already said that I have some other good ideas for a clip at the end of the video, but I think I’ve finally found the best option.
the main video is almost done so im just going to spend next week chasing those final percent, and making shorts to get hype and subscribers, just suffering doing graphics today, this is by far the hardest part of the whole experiment
Hell yeah!
Damn mod that was more than just a light tap on that barrier lmao
I wonder whats worse, the sad twongi crash or that
i somehow managed to roll the dancer 3 times in my run with it 😭
i did absolutely zero practice with it and was used to my rocket ship 3 wheeler
that has abs 😫
rip
I wonder how this would do with dfos specs
tbh the suspension would be illegal as this has custom ones (in the front at least) low poly mcpherson suspension
not on my end, the power of desync
ah yea i hadn't considered that
some people were a bit all over the place just due to the ping and server stuff
just a factor of working with the game as is
nowhere near caca enough lol
lol, tbh the car itself wont be legal just due to the amount of parts it has
what would you like to make next time if we did something again in a few months?
Probably the corolla or something similar
i mean like what class of car
Oh, tbh i dont really know yet
lol, i have some ideas, ideas for some smaller scale stuff in the next few weeks too so keep your ears open
a 1980's-1990's car event would be fun
Or a Fish-shaped car event!
car-shaped fish
I can think of a few fish species that are a tad bit shaped like a car. One sec.
Ah yes, the true lemon of the sea!
Head-to-head, any class. Lemme at em
shame we have such a big time zone gap i keep waking up and seeing you lot wrapping up for the night
Its not that bad, i just typically stay on later because of my work schedule. I can always do stuff much earlier on Sundays.
yea im around all day tomorrow it would be fun just to jump in to some races
I usually get off work around 11pm-1am, and I'll stay up doing races until around 4-6am depending.
Well, this lives in Portugal so… this may be realistic.
I can do you one better if you would like :)

You should really build a Toyota Prius. I’ve read that it’s the most popular car in Mongolia.
I finally improved my touge time. Still trying to dial it in... I managed this time with non-DFOS legal entry and only one "wrong way" incident.
Wait, non legal DFOS? hold my caipirinha...
I did mention I needed an upgrade specifically for "skill issue", right?
Not even a Batmobile can save me.
But it's better
Nice Instrument Cluster, btw.
it's the same from this version https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/E1VEOQ/Dinorari-Driftwood-SP2 , the one from the touge is a GT3 spec

me and SIR_Llewllyn taking our nugs offroading I might be in a "non-stock version" thats made for these environments
Well, this is awkward...
Seems like a skill issue to me.
This game is literally unplayable. Why didn't the devs think of this.

May I make a forum post about this?
please do! I will be most grateful for any sharing/promo, maybe wait till the vid is up because shares really help the video get more visibility
Sweet! I have a tag list of like 30 people that I can use lol.
excellent thank you
Also, did you purposely remove my car from all the teaser images lol.
not intentionally, i could only load about 25 cars before the game bricked
Fair. I’m just glad that no one has seen my car yet lol.
it is in the main video coming out tomorrow but its pixelated as a 'call to action' to go watch the full broadcast, its like 'one car was so insane and destructive if you wanna see it you will have to subscribe and wait till the full broadcast comes out' and it shows your pixellated car destroying the set
Hell yeah. That’s the whole intention of my car lol.
and its last on the full broadcast
Do you want me to send any other information on the forum post?
nah post whatever you want
Sounds good. At some point, I would like to show you my Diet Space Elevator :)

High enough that you can see it from Kunimitsu if I spawn it at Bannock lol.

See posts, photos and more on Facebook.

dont have an opportunity to watch this right now but enjoy the shoutout!
Great video. I can see why it took so long to edit. It tells an engaging story that covers both the community and the work that you put in to run the event. 🏎️
Having made videos in the past, I also appreciate the clear and natural voiceover. It doesn't sound like you're just reading from a script. I know that can be more difficult than it sounds.
Yea I had a script but had room to go off it, luckily I feel quite comfortable doing that
I love it when my leather has a rat shaped cut on it 🗣️🗣️
Anyone else have a new obsession with the bridged touge course?
I gave the video a share. I don't know what else to say other than thank you, again @undone fox . It was a fun experience!
While fish aren’t built for driving, I have been having some fun with it.
@undone fox the teaser clip of my car could not have turned out any better. I am proud to represent the fish nation.
I've been using the driftwood cup as base for tunning my cars. Cup is better for larger GTs and the touge seems like the best for nimble cars.
