One of the ideas Daniel3D gave me that I'm still pending to work on is a method for easily changing the needle colour. For what I've been looking at, it shouldn't be hard. I would change a little piece of the game's code that maybe won't even require recompilation (could be just a patch in the binary file) and that would result in one of the currently useless parameters in the CAR*.RES file becoming the needle colour. If there is interest, I can work on this.

Cas, you are finding the lights here!
I had lost some hope (and time on testing like Ryoma did and described on http://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=3810.0) on getting a customized needle colour for some time...

:o



Daniel, I agree with your point, using it has starting line truck.

Ryoma this is surprisingly wonderful, it actually races on it's way!

Nice idea Ryoma!
Is it possible?

What do you think about it?

It's a little easier to see the needles, but the different shade of yellow doesn't look as nice.  If it was me, I would take some artistic liberties due to the limitations of Stunts and change the colour scheme of the instruments entirely.


Although the natural customization applied in such car as the Lotus/Caterham Seven/Super 7 and all over the years by their owners/assemblers, every Caterham Super 7 in this "JPE" limited edition from 1992 that I found in the internet has that lime yellow color background, which it's also specific of this special version.
So I tried to replicate as much as possible (and as Stunts allows) on this car that matches Stunts era.

Hi to everyone, after dreadnaut's suggestion here is a test with a less "lime yellow" color on all dial's background:

(test on left, original v1.1 dash on right)

What do you think about it?

The STDA file is attached if you want to try it out.

Hi dreadnaut,

that tachometer has that "green line" in order to show the best power range of the engine like shown on this real example:



I can try to make a slightly darker yellow background of it.

KyLiE,
Congratulations for publish this log running project!
It's a fine car and nicely developped.
I'm also glad to colaborate on the fixing of some rendering bugs.

Hello you all,

The newbie scoreboard (or amateur league) in my point of view, should be experience based, so a number of participations have to be the principal measure to classify each participant. In this "entrance level" the participant  could  also win bonus of experience by archieving a certain number of wins or number of presence in "top 3".

That's just my opinion, I guess it's not far from what it is now, and surelly it's not right or wrong.
But after all, I'm glad to participate in this competition so far.

Cheers.

What do you think about getting the first Wankel rotary-powered (and LM winning) car in Stunts?

I would love this! :) It would also be the first Mazda in Stunts.


I'll start working on it soon, I expect do have it done in a few weeks (not as lighting fast like Ryoma's "factory" makes it happen :p)
Ryoma, thank you for the Mazda's torque specs and blueprints!

I think we can make a Le Mans 24H edition now.
Well a live race is normally 8 minutes.
We could do a Le Mans 24 minutes edition  8)

I guess that for matching accuracy of Stunts time period, it justifies to get the Mazda's 787B 1991 24h Le Mans winner car in game.

You're fast in convert a dash into stunts Ryoma!

Actually the NFS dash has the 1993 Diablo VT (AWD) version:



The version in TD2/3 has the design of the original 1990 Diablo dashboard:



In last revision of the model in "roadster" form (1999), the dashboard as also changed:
