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!
