And while we're at it, why not make a Mirage M1 as well? To my knowledge the two M1's were made out of this car

I do have that one already, but looking at it closer it reveals so many thigs wrong with the mod, for example the whole side window as well as those vets behind them are wrong, the handling is... well, terrible and the interior is the same as with the standard GTL GT40.

To sum it up, there surely was put effort into this mod but not as much as Borek does here, so I would be very happy to see this quite unkown car given a high-quality tribute.

Hope you can understand my point

Your are totally right, Teddy, and I agree with you.
But I tought that this is better than nothing.
Of course a BorekS version would be perfect, as usual he does.
Fingers crossed!!

ok guys,
here is some small progress on the Mk.I car model overhaul... some noticable visual changes changes:

* front and rear intakes remodeled / resmoothed
* side intakes remodeled / resmoothed
* wheel arch remodeled / resmoothed
* removed / simplified internal parts (the which would be ingame hardly noticable)
* added new wheels (not the final ones)

Oh my goodness! This is looking very appealing mates...

Please keep the wheels turning on this baby...

So nice!

A pure beauty !!!

Nice thanks.
By the way there is a mirage in the gpl 67 sportscar mod, if that info helps ?

ok guys, a small update of the Porsche 917 1969 Le Mans competitor - the GT40 quick paint. not a final paint, just a first uv-mapping test. but I could share...

Well, I think we wouldn't complain if you did Borek
Beautliful car this Ford! Excited about it!  


BTW.: I found a issue with the MK.IV GT40, the outside cam rotates around the driver position in the cockpit, not the center-point of the car. That had bugged me so much that I don't often drive the GT40 and if I do, only in cockpit view.

yes, thats true. with the LMC public release some small mod bugs appeared which we didnt noticed before... well, ok, nobody is perfect

however all the few as yet found issues arent life important at least.  

your described Ford Mk.IV issue is caused because of missing CameraTarget definition at the .car file, example of the common game path to the Ford Nr.1 file:
GTL\GameData\Teams\LM_CLASSICS\Ford_MarkIV\LMA6701\LMA6701_FMkIV.car

the .car files are easy editable with any text editor, e.g. with a Notepad.

after the Eyepoint row there shold be added such row:
CameraTarget=(0.000, 0.600, 0.250)

my plan is to release a small bug fix pack, or a whole updated mod pack. depends, if we will take it like a Altbierbude LMC compatible mod pack, which needed to rebuild the whole car file logic, to run properly on server on-line racing.

Thaks for the instructions for fixing the cam issue, really appreciate it! Keep up the work!

ok, Ive made a small Ford Mk.IV big fix pack, more about here: http://simgarage.nolimit.cz/rubriky/game-add-ons/le-mans-classics/ford-mk-iv

Thanks for all your great work, BorekS

Thanks BorekS!!!

a few skin paint updates and new wheels including the rim spin blur animation:

Looking good

... looking brilliant as ever Borek...

About the wheels, I think the spokes should be a bit thicker, or maybe it's the shading what's making them look a bit too narrow. The blurred effect however, is perfect, the wheels look awesome on track.

About the body, it still looks like a JWAE GT40 to me. Are you going to further modify it?

The skin looks very nice.

nah, the actual Mk.I carbody shape still be unchanged but a few details and paint

Can I ask which details are you planning to modify?

the external model of our GT40 Mk.I is an early wip, started a few days back and there is many many things which with I am not happy yet. whats the plan is e.g. correcting / tweaking the body texture uv-mapping, adding a new fuel intake item, change rear lights, exhausts... etc.

the interiror for external model isnt done at all.
also the virtual cpit is 0% done and no, I will not use the SimBin GT40 virtual cpit for our Ford public release (if ever will be this car finished) because of future another game conversion permissions

however our LMC Ford GT40 Mk.I bonus car should be the JWAE team from Le Mans 1969, the Gulf Nr.6 and Nr.7 skin. I didnt bothered how differs the other Mk.I cars, so far.

It's indeed an interesting project. Thanks for the information

Thank you BorekS for this fantastic mod.. You are one of the legends of GTL modding..

Thank you very much, BorekS. Probably the most beautiful mod of GTlegends. I'm looking for with impatience to the Alpine A220 bonus. A few weeks, a few months ??

we are glad the mod is well accepted, thank you, guys

well any LMC bonus car development can take a few weeks up to a lot of weeks, means years. I cant grantee anything. its just our hobby when free time. and also needs to know LMC stuff isnt the only activity I am working on

Are there any updates on the GT40? I don't want to sound impatient at all, just wanted to know as there were none for a prolonged time
