[ToMmY]

looken great borg i see all the technology u have stolen from use over the time is helping u :)

[The_Borg]

Nice one Tommy :lol: .

Btw, the beta is out, check out the updated topic...

[Forest Kila Zbila]

Hmm :-) Golf looks perfect. But there is somthin... the car is to big in game! It have almost a lenght of race truck! and its bigger than E classe T! I think its to fast and grippy to.... IMO some details and it will be next gr8 car :-D

[Busta]

Grt stuff 8) ty Borg...ne 1 for golf...FOUR! :lol:

[ToMmY]

great little cars this

[DC_Geezr]

TY so much Borg,and Golf277.It's great just like it is! I love it,plz don't mess anymore with the handling! :D

Geez :wink:

[The_Borg]

Haha, don't worry, the normal handling is finished, I'll not change it anymore and thx.

[Anonymous]

is there any way you could make a rev limiter. i like when its like "tatatatata". nice way to describe it :D

[The_Borg]

The first update to the Golf:

v0.96 changes:
- Overall size reduced to 93%
- Optimized handling

Check out the updated topic :) .

[Forest Kila Zbila]

Yeah! Now its look like it should :-) Awsome :-D

[DC_Geezr]

The first update to the Golf:

v0.96 changes:
- Overall size reduced to 93%
- Optimized handling

Check out the updated topic :) .

Uhm,,plz explain "Optimized Handling" I love the handling just the way it is in 0.95.

Geez :wink:

[The_Borg]

Haha, only some slight changes, you'll like it as the 0.95 handling. For the next update I'm thinking about a bit more power for the Golf, because as opposed to the other ricers the Golf seems to be underpowered. What do you think about it?

[Forest Kila Zbila]

hmmm i think you can make two versions... one with tealistic power and one with turbo vr6 and ~300hp+.... head&shoulders ;-) 2 in 1 ;-) more cars = more fun :-D

[The_Borg]

I'm interested in a good balancing between the ricer cars. And yesterday I did a lot of testing and afterwards I decided to keep the Golf handling like it is. The Golf is bad on high speed tracks, but has apparently advantages on city tracks or any other track with a lot of sharp turns. You can push the Golf in nearly every sharp turn using the handbrake, which is a lot of fun and isn't practicable by any other ricer in that way ;) .

[Krom]

bug found:
- serial background color doesn`t match body color :)
- car still looks little oversized IMO

except this all is fine

good job ! :D

[DC_Geezr]

One thing I have to mention..ok bi*ch about,is for some reason,this car seems to have a problem with low walls and rails.Instead of bouncing off them,the car just goes thru them as if there was no fence there at all.Yes,I know my driving sucks,and I should simply avoid all contact with fences,rails,etc, :oops: but this is the only car that does this.I;m not talking about a direct frontal hit on a wall,I mean just grazing up against the fence with the side of the car gently. :D

[The_Borg]

Check out the updated topic, I just added a new version with a different collision file. Tell me if it works better than the old one.

Edit: Thx Krom, I'll have a lock at it, but the size seems to be ok for me now, compared to the other ricers.

[DC_Geezr]

I only had time for one offline race,but it does seem to be improved.I didn't have to reset once. 8) And the handling is still nice and sharp.BTW,yes more power would be nice in the Final. :D
As always, :thank you: Borg!

Geez :wink:

[Golf277]

i've got some spec of a golf vr6 twin turbo.
its got 300bhp@ 5600rpm and 450nm of torque @ 4000rpm, maybe you can work with that Borg.

[The_Borg]

Haha, nice numbers. But after much more testing I'm pretty sure that the Golf is fine like it's atm. If I would increase the power I had to change the handling as well, because the other ricers will not have a chance anymore ;) .

[Golf277]

oka hope you like the sound i send ya :P

[The_Borg]

Sure it's once again a pretty good sound, but isn't an Golf VR6 supposed to be a bit more silent. For my opinion this sound fits better for the EVO VII, but I'm not familiar with tunded Golfs, maybe they sound like this.

And anyway you're the sound master, the sound is pretty good, that's for sure ;) .

[Golf277]

thanks. i mailt the sound for the lancer already i think you have got it already, it realy fits the car.

[The_Borg]

He cool, I'll check out me e-mail right away...

[DC_Geezr]

Has anyone else here noticed the tendency of the Golf to hop over rails and low walls so easily? I raced online with 2 other guys yesterday,and we all noticed it.It only happens with this car.Still,the car is a lot of fun tho.

Geez :wink:

[The_Borg]

This should be fixed, maybe you haven't the latest version. I added a new collision file a few days ago.
