Looks great! About the name I hate when the companies gives numbers to their cars instead of a name.

I don't care if it's a name or number, as long as it makes sense.
So, not to name a family car after a plastic explosive like the Citroën C4....
Or after household stuff like dacia duster....
That's just stupid.

You have the Honda Beat (soundlike "pénis" in french). Or Toyota MR2 (soundlike "and shit").

For Ferrari, you have a lot of number, for example :
250 for 250cm3 the displacement of one piston (x12 = 3L)
512 for 5L 12 cylinders
355 for 3,5L 5 valves
412 4 valves 12 cylinders or 412cm3 (3 cars have this name : a GT and 2 F1)
430 for 4,3L

Plus sometime a name.

That laks creativity, but at least it makes some kind of sense

Lost motivation to do the dashboard  of  the daytona.. the res file is done.

[alanrotoi]

Every time I try to make the dashboards I'm out in few minutes. It's too hard and many things to take in mind: the accuracy with the real car, the coordintes of the needles (this made me quit many times). No fun at all.

[Ryoma]

I will use dashboard from project gotham or gran turismo... but the number of gauge "inside" the wheel is too big...that's mean no spoke.

But I wait for motivation for the moment

Those are odd to do. What I tend to do (/did) is note down the positions of several key positions, like every multiple of 20mph or something, and then I just fill in the blanks as a guess, eyeing if the curve of the stat bars looks good. If any positions bugs you afterwards you can always go back in.

Here my start for the dashboard

[alanrotoi]

It doesn't looks like a Daytona or a stock car

[Ryoma]

Ferrari 365GTB/4 also know as an unofficial name of Daytona.

[Ryoma]

458 Italia anyone?

Feel free to create it.

Who knows ?

There are already 2 Ferrari cars. However, Porsche is still leading with 4...

Hum hum ...35 Ferrari now :p

[Ryoma]
