Here is little sneak peak preview. Here what's going to be in: GoKart 50ccm - 13bhp/11NM, 70kg, ~105km/h GoKart 100ccm - 22bhp/15NM, 71kg, ~125km/h GoKart 125ccm - 31bhp/21NM, 71kg, ~140km/h GoKart 125ccm Shifter - 41bhp/28NM (Turbo), 74kg, ~155km/h, 6-speed All is already in testing phase. Things that I need to fix for now is tyre textures and vinyls for karts (already doing that). And need to work a bit more on AI, if someone has explanation what is what in ai.ini, feel free to reply With package release, I'll include Sonoma Kart track for testing, it has 30+ starting and pit lines, so fun is guaranteed Some materials need rework. Still having problem with AI controlled Karts but they work. 3 basic skins per kart (white, black and test) + 6 skins made by @SimonTek What can be changed: rim_detail (only color), metal_detail (only color), vinyl (name says all) rim_detail is png with 128x128 pixels 24bit, metal_detail is dds that is used by Assetto Corsa cars, vinyl is also dds with 2048x2048 (has alpha). Tracks for download are in Video description, since I don't want that guys from KS have legal issues and it is reworked mod You have three Kart tracks with 17 layouts in total. Tracks have 34 starting positions with pits, AI files and simulated semaphore for racing. Tracks have spread starting positions so normal cars can also be driven on them! Problem may occur since tracks are pretty small if bigger amount of vehicles are on track. Another nice track made by @MacArnu you can download it in his thread:http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/hundisoo-go-kart-track-1-1.21043/ On Sonoma Kart first numbers with standard tranny, second with close tranny Once again thanks to @bobskype and @Lunae, and @mclarenf1papa for starting this project! Also thanks to @SimonTek for set of skins for Karts Enjoy, this is v0.1, although it is much more mature, but since many skins will come, and I also hope a lot of feedback from you guys, things will change V0.1 http://www.mediafire.com/download/76fne7rfw4771mk/gokart_0.1.7z V0.1.1 http://www.mediafire.com/download/ojc6wv1lbohja7j/gokart_0.1.1.7z V0.2 http://www.mediafire.com/download/ggb5ltuwjvbjbkr/gokart_0.2.7z V0.3 http://www.mediafire.com/download/p1pjepzeii341ki/gokart_0.3.7z V0.4a - test http://www.mediafire.com/download/ot737mk0cwk7sla/gokart125s 0.4a-test.7z V0.3a http://www.mediafire.com/download/q1y72idnw3tb236/GoKart_0.3a.7z DELETE PREVIOUS FILES!!! ChangeLog: V0.1.1 - Fixed crashing due to incompatible naming of folders - Added one more skin V0.2 - all physics files reworked for RC, added damage and placeholder sound (kart sounds waiting for implementation) - added one more final gear ratio for GoKart 50ccm, for faster tracks - added one more final gear ratio for GoKart 125ccm Shifter, for slower tracks - reduced lift of GoKarts - balanced braking force on all GoKarts - changed position of driver, now driver is lower - changed position of driver eyes (probably more fixes on this one) - added animations of shifting for GoKart 125ccm Shifter (fixes for precise shifting will come when lean is fixed) - added global lean (left, right, front, back) of driver affected by movement, this is test version, working pretty good on live track, stuttering on replay. Also hands are not always on steering wheel. Updates will come on this! - added throttle and brake pedal and foot movement animation, directly related to throttle and brake you apply - added separate textures for rims on kart (look at test example) V0.3 - decreased coast values in engine.ini - fixed sounds, changed placeholder sound for real GoKart sounds - removed lean front<>rear animation (was simply too much) - added new skins - changed driver model from driver_no_HANS.kn5 to driver_80.kn5 V0.4a - test credits to @chargingcar - reworked model with 2 lods improved performance - new UV,s and Ambient Maps - new damage model including textures V0.3a - 1.1.x ready Check Auto-clutch option always! Comming up in next update (probably close to final): - driver position reworked, driver will be sitting lower - driver eyes position changed according to new driver position - seat for driver reworked - some of the materials changed - side tyre material customizable - driver skins - added dirt and damage to karts - maybe I'll add frontal light for karts (your opinion about this) fonte AC forum

News item: http://rfactor.net/w....for-rfactor-2/ One of the most fun and least appreciated types of racing in rFactor 2 has got to be the karts. While for some this can create a whole standalone simulation, it is merely one of many vehicle types we offer to our users as a free download. If you haven’t tried them yet, be sure to give them a try with this updated version! Download here! (Requires up-to-date build of rFactor 2). Physics (both Karts) – New tires which have enabled the contact patch model for the first time. – Added new wet weather variables for tires. – Numerous AI correlation tweaks. AI warm tires quicker, wear slower and more evenly (F/R). – Reduced inertia for wheels and engine. The wheels were set conservatively due to instability, an issue which new, more accurate tires have are the result. – Reduced axle and gearbox friction to what should be a more accurate level. – Softened undertray collision points which makes the kart more realistic and controllable over tall curbs. – Fixed geometry bug that went unnoticed that was caused by a build bug fix (which was improperly defined in the previous kart release, and has been corrected for Builds 860 and newer). – Tweak to reduce some ‘hopping’ experienced in certain extreme situations. Physics Junior Kart specific – Engine engine has more low end torque. Combined with other changes, it now accelerates a lot better from standstill. Physics KartF1 specific – Increased grip to correspond better with the class of tyre this is simulating. UI – Changed category name in-sim from ‘Kart Cup’ to ‘Karts’. – Camera offset to match steering wheel. Graphics – Updated shaders – Updated textures – Minor 3D fixes The contact patch model is still not fully complete, but at a sufficient point now. It is still lacking some lateral and longitudinal variability due to temperature / pressure and the lat/long deflections are still slightly over sensitive under extreme conditions when patch is extremely small. The vertical deflections are considered accurate. We will release more details soon. There are also some setup adjustments not yet available in the UI. An update will follow.

In tanti sognavano la possibilità di guidare persino un go-kart in Assetto Corsa e da oggi il sogno è divenuto realtà: Warlock ha infatti rilasciato la prima versione beta del suo karting mod, che è possibile apprezzare nel video di anteprima qui sotto. -
Vasilis and I have been working on making a 125cc Shifter Kart for AC. The mesh is very early in it's stages, but I've been working on the physics the last few days for it. The suspension is solid, since in real life these don't even have suspensions. So all of the tuning has been put into the tires. That's where I need the most insight... Does any body have experience with these sort of karts in the real world? I'd love to ask some questions, and even have some people try the vehicle out. I've been able to get the proper dimensions and drivetrain items in place, but the tire physics have been sending me in circles. http://www.mediafire.com/download/r5pmyg8cxwp92b4/kart_V0.00000005.zip fonte AC forum

Mostrati per la prima volta assieme alcuni giorni or sono, i go-kart e la pista Quebec SuperKarts per rFactor 2 sono ora ufficialmente disponibili. Assieme al mod e al tracciato è inoltre disponibile un nuovo showroom e una nuova interfaccia grafica, scaricabili dai link presenti sul nostro forum. I go-kart sono forniti in due versioni, Junior e Kart F1: la prima ha 20 cavalli e un peso di 150 Kg pilota incluso, la seconda invece 40 cavalli e un peso leggermente superiore, accoppiata anche ad un set di freni anteriori per gestire al meglio la maggiore potenza. -
For those unfamiliar with karting, the first thing you will notice driving one of these is just how quick the steering is. With the steering ratio approximating 1:5 (depending on setup), three times quicker than most conventional road cars, you may fall into the trap of too much steering input. Small and precise movements are best. Karts are also forced to run a locked axle, which means the inside rear tire has to be unloaded to allow the vehicle to steer properly. Significant understeer results if you fail to do so. The primary mechanism for providing a means to overcome this issue is through the front end steering geometry. Cranking the steering is usually accompanied by oversteer. A common mistake of amateurs is both applying lock too early or using excessive steering lock which can result in sudden snap oversteer. Though sometimes that might be exactly what you want! The wide sticky tires used in karting provide huge amounts of grip, able to exceed 2G’s without any downforce to speak of. The chassis is finely tuned to deal with these G-forces. Braking can be rather difficult in either category, the Junior kart, having only rear brakes, requires a constant watch for snap oversteer on account of locking rear wheels. Trail braking is of limited use, as this can lead to excessive oversteer upon corner entry, which on account of only having a single speed gearbox, with grippy tires, can bog you down right out of the power band. The ideal corner is to brake in a straight line, very limited trail braking on turn in, and then keep the kart in a shallow and consistent slide with high percentages of throttle input to ensure the engine does not bog down. The engine in junior form, provides peak power just below 9000 RPM, however still sings on song until 12000 RPM before the power curve begins to fall away sharply. You will want to make sure the engine seldom sees RPM of below 6000. In Kart F1 form, the engine produces peak torque and power at much higher RPM, peak torque is around 12000 and peak power around 13500 RPM, the curve doesn’t fall off too much until about 15500. Gearing is very important to extract the maximum performance out of your karts. We would like to express our gratitude to Skip and Joey Essma of Ess Racing for their time and effort. (Hey, sponsors, sponsor Joey).
