Description (Click to toggle Visibility)

carFactory helps you to create more realistic cars for rFactor.

* Build and analyse complex suspension geometries

* Design and implement realistic springs, dampers and roll-bars

* Analyse and edit rFactor tyre curves

* Analyse and edit rFactor aerodynamics

* Full kinematic analysis of rFactor cars

* Articulate suspension in 3D through full suspension travel

carFactory V1.8.2
=======================

* Minor bugfixes in Aero and Tyre players

* Major performance improvement, Aero Analysis about 10x faster

carFactory V1.8.1
=======================

* Thanks to all those who reported bugs in aeros

* This release addresses a number of minor issues with the aero player.

New in Version 1.8.0
=======================

Thanks again to TechAde for his testing :)

* Aero player: select body, diffuser, front and rear wings, left and right flick-ups. Chart total, front or rear downforce, total drag, balance or efficiency (L/D).

* Adjust aero settings as you would see them in rF garage (wing settings etc.) while charts redraw dynamically

* Aero editor: tweak the lift and drag equations while watching the charts redraw - tool-tips for every setting

* HDV generator, generate the aero sections of the HDV when you are happy with your aerodynamic performance.

Please note, this runs 2-3 times slower on Vista than XP.

PLEASE, PLEASE, report any bugs - while RSC is down please post the bugs here as a comment, thanks.

carFactory V1.7.1
=======================

Thanks to CarloMaker for spotting a bug and then for testing the bugfix.

* Tyres now save correctly on non-English Operating Systems.

* carFactory can now conect to the internet through a proxy server, with Auto-Detection of proxy server settings for sites using WPAD.

As with all new versions of carFactory, please report any bugs you find to the RSC link below, thank you!

New in Version 1.7.0
====================

Thanks to TechAde for lots of testing with this version.

* Tyre curve editor.

* Tyre analysis, dynamically charts lateral/longitudinal slip (Fy vs slip), Load sensitivity, camber effects, self aligning torque, redrawing as you edit the curve shape. Click 'Edit' to change the tyre's coefficients and watch charts redraw.

* All charts will zoom - just drag the mouse across the area you wish to see in more detail. Right click on the chart to 'Un-zoom' and to choose other options.

* Constraints - restrict where carFactory can place suspension hard-points, so wishbones do not bisect the engine, driver etc!

* CISH (corrected inner suspension height) applied to mods as they are loaded in for analysis

* Many, many minor bug-fixes, thank you to everyone who reported a bug.

Please, please report any bugs to the carFactory thread at RSC, the link is below.

Thanks,

Kangaloosh!

Post a Kangaloosh! carFactory Comment

I am having trouble retrieving information for Leo's FFB. The tutorial requires the use of Kangaloosh! car factory. I have the latest update of car factory 1.8.2.29936. I always get an error when car factory is started and attempts to update or what ever it is doing. When I select Analysis - Tyres (from the chart tab) only about half of the chart is displayed, and the "Charts" tab is not visible. I have verified that I am using the optimum screen resolution, and that my fonts are set to normal. What am I missing? Advice appreciated.

I had the same problem as acciarri, and my antivirus blocked it as a trojan!

To Kangaloosh: why when I start the program I see this message: Access to the Kangaloosh! carFactory server at the following location was blocked: http://www.kangaloosh.com/carF...carFactory.asmx There are some Windows files missing in the program installation, or anyone that we could get for Windows Xp in order to be able to work with this editor? Is it possible to publish a "Fix" version? Thank You

Hi Kangalosh, Could we expext any further support for your amazing tool. Indeed, it is the only existing tool to refine the mods, for both cinematics and aero. But there are still some improvement needed, in particular the feedback (which lines) of any problem during the hdv parsing phase. I hope you willl be able to make this little improvement in order to easily identify what is wrong in our physics.. Regards

I have the same problem. The software was working fine earlier but now it's just suddenly begun giving the error message...

When I start a program I see this message: Access to the Kangaloosh! carFactory server at the following location was blocked: http://www.kangaloosh.com/carFactory/carFactory.asmx and program will not run. I do not use any firewall, I turned off Windows Firewall. What must I do at this situation?

Strava, Bristow, Thanks for your detective work. Chris

Yes, at higher resolutions the 3d and graphs use more of the screen. At 1280x960 they use 953x487 or about 38%. Not exactly "full screen" but better :-) At 800x600 they use 427x127 or about 11%. Hmmm, squint time X-) Also at 800x600 the font for the graph titles, axis lables & values is so small each letter is about 1x2 pixels. Quite unreadable. I have rather poor eyesite which is why I use 800x600. At a res like 1280x960 I get a headache fairly quickly trying to focus on such small letters. But I suppose I can deal with it while I am in carFactory. No sense in you going to all the work of making your screen layout dynamic based on screen size just for 1 person.

I have the same graphics chipset. CarFactory seems to present the small image at 800 x 600 but shows full screen at my regular 1280 x 1024. Try another (higher) resolution if possible.
by Bristow on 19-Aug-08

Thanks, Unfortunately there isn't anything to debug - the code is definitely asking for the display to occupy the entire space available :S Chris
