Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth v1.0 (beta) for Racer

Jump to Comments


I really wanted to release something today, so here it is. The road version of the 1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth. As I couldn’t get it done completely in time for a christmas release, I choose to releas the car a beta. A patch will be released as soon as possible. The rFactor conversion will be done once I’m happy with the Racer version.

Known bugs/errors/missing stuff:
- Some qlog errors
- Top speed too low
- Ini lacking accurate aero values
- Sounds could be better
- Shaders could probably be better too
- No calipers
- No interior

There are also bugs in Racer that affects the handling of this car. Most noticable are the arbs and the diffs. Arbs seem to work as springs, making the car wobble a little. And for some reason it’s no longer possible to do donuts in Racer, something I suspect has to do with the diffs being updated.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my little christmas present. Don’t hesitate to let me know what you like/dislike about the car. It’s still just a beta, and I will keep working to make it as good as possible.

Thanks to Mr. Whippy, Cosmo and TtR for helping me out with my projects!
