Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Straight4 has introduced “Hadron”, a new modular vehicle dynamics platform developed specifically from the ground up for Project Motor Racing.
Highlights:
- First principle physics engine delivers unmatched handling realism at 720Hz.
- A new open topology multi-body vehicle solver.
- Internal combustion engine and turbocharger model using a one-dimensional compressible fluid dynamic simulation that allows for effects like turbo lag or backfires, and defects like dieseling or knocking, with exhaust gas that impairs the virtual airspace around the car.
- More natural, non-linear throttle control due to torque response that is dynamically emerging from the fluid and combustion simulation.
- Modular drivetrain, running at 7,200Hz, supporting all clutch, differential, and gearbox configurations.
- Accurate FFB taken directly from the tie rod
- Fully dynamic tyre simulation, comprising:
– Carcass simulation using a finite-element approach for full elastic modeling with emergent behaviors such as vibration, telescoping, and twisting.
– Tread simulation that includes a discretized 2D contact patch, running at up to 10,000Hz, featuring tread channels for realistic water handling and aquaplaning.
– Simulated steering rack used for reporting force feedback provides a detailed and nuanced handling feel for the driver. - Piecewise aerodynamics model where wings, winglets, or the undertray can affect each other
Project Motor Racing is scheduled to become available in 2025. You can check out some more GTRevival/PMR news Here.
About:
At the end of 2022, Ian Bell (SimBin, Blimey Games, and Slightly Mad Studios) announced that he founded a new studio branding named Straight4Games or just plain Straight4.
At this point, Straight4 had revealed they were working on a new racing simulation with the project name GTR Revival, later renamed to GTRevival and now Project Motor Racing which should become available for the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
