Bob, your a gentleman.

Thankyou.

this is supposed to be an F5000 Chevy sound.....at least thats what my folder says    .....and here is a GT40 sound suitable for the ThunderCars, I think

Might I ask how to use the F5000 Chevy sound?  I'd like to incorporate it into my F5000 carsets.

Thanks for any help.

Hi BrentBlackburn, to use the F5000 Chevy sound(or any sound) for all seven chassis the process would be;
copy the Chevy sound, rename it 'bra', let it overwrite the existing 'bra' sound in your sound folder and repeat this for the other six chassis.

Backup your existing sound folder first of course and use a copy.

Of course if you use something like GPL Sound Player you don't have to do all the above, but I usually do this kind of thing manually anyway, just to be absolutely sure of not missing or losing anything.
By the way, is that the Philippe Charuest F5000 carset in your pic?
Looks good. 

Nice F5000's Brent   

They're gonna look particulaly nice scooting around Sandown '68, oh yeah.

Cheers, Buk

Hey Brent: Welcome to SimRacing Mirror Zone mate; and Sweet looking screens nice details. If you can't find say Philippe Charuest F5000 carset all you have to do is ask here mate as someone might just have a copy around (say even this :silly billy: here might have it) 
Well tata
Cheers Quattro

Look here for car sounds

The screenshot is from a 1970 UK F5000 carset that is in the works. 

Hi Carter,

Thanks for the help. The screenshot is from a 1970 UK F5000 carset that is in the works. I am not sure but I think Philippe's carset was from 1968 maybe? I'm not sure, because I can't seem to find it on the internet anymore.

I'm also working on for the 1970 Tasman Series and for the US Formula A series as well (which was one reason I was ecstatic to hear that Mark Beckman's Can-Am mod was going to add Road America, Edmonton, Mid-Ohio and Donnybrooke to the North American track base! )

Here are some more images from the UK F5000 set I'm working on.

Thanks again for the help,

Brent

Hi!

Yes, it seems like a real nice carset - and a carset, i really would like to drive.

Being mostly interested in the "historically correct" carsets, I never used the Thundercats, but a combination of Thundercat physics and F5000 1970 might be just the ticket....

Not being able to do the work myself, I would be very happy to help/assist/encourage...

Boy, it's amazing how time sneaks up on you. I hadn't realized it's been two years since I was working on that project.

At the time, I was going in many directions painting carskins for 1970/1 Tasman and Gold Star carsets, European F5000 carsets, American F5000 (Formula A) carsets, and South African F1/F5000 carsets, all of which remain in various states of completion. I kindof lost the motivation to complete them when: the trackmakers stopped making those particular period tracks and I got no help on editing carshapes. I'm strictly a painter and carshape *modifier*, not an editor.

Anyhow, sure, I can send you what I have, depending on what you want. Let me explain a little about the sets.

you said "F5000", so I am going to assume you mean the European F5000s from ca. 1969/70/71, which is the period i worked on. The set started out as Tasman Series set featuring some of my modified carshapes which I developed for that project. I then started replacing the Tasman drivers/carskins with those from F5000 ca. 1969/70, one at a time, but I never finished. So it has a few Tasman drivers in addition to several from F5000, such as Hobbs, Taylor, Gethin, Hailwood, Rollinson, Prophet, Walker, McRae, Gardner and some others. Most of the cars--in fact, all of them, I think, are converted McLarens or Hondas from early beta versions of the low-wing 69 mod. I think. It's been so long and I forgot to document anything. What I did was take some low wing carshapes from a beta Paul Skingley sent me and further modified them, 1) lowering the wings and moving them farther back by titlting the vertical struts back at an angle (crude and inaccurate, but it worked for me) 2)widening the rear wings 3) adding full face helmets from the later version of the 69 mod.

All of this was done strictly for my benefit and use and without permission from the 69 mod team, so if I send it to you you'd need to clear it with them if you wanted to release it. Heck--Paul might even want to work on it now that he has some free time. He was the one who sortof encouraged me in the beginning anyway.

I used the cars with tracks like Brands, Silverstone, Oulton Park, Hockenheim, Anderstorp, all of which held F5000 races in the early 70s.

OK, so now that you know the technical details, let me just say again that in no way did I intend or even try to make these look realistic or remotely accurate. I just wanted something that looked like early f5000s (especially Mclaren M10s, my all-time favorite formula car) that I could paint to look sortof like the cars of that era. If you're picky on details, you'll probably be disappointed. That said, I'm willing to send you whatever you like from my work to adapt for your own use. I just don't know how to bundle it up to send to you. i could do individual zip files for each make and for the driver.ini files, I guess.

Let me know what you want and I'll get it to you somehow.

Best regards,

Brent

Hi Brent, good to see you are still working on the F5000 cars.

As mentioned above you could use TCmod physics but as the F5000 cars are allot narrower there would be the problem of physical contact with other cars or armco when the visual reference said you should have missed them.
Also the TC engine is 7lt and has more power than F5000.

I would suggest concentrating on one series, preferably the one you have most complete. I would also suggest the 1969 or 1970 season as there is a Tasman 68 series already being worked on.

I would be willing to help you finish of the car models. It would also be possible to develop an accurate physics which would be preferable to using TCmod physics.

If all this sounds good to you we can ask Keith to set up a work space for us to continue and complete the project.

By the way I'm almost ready to beta release my Pukekohe track for GPL.
