6r4 Technical Info
Hi I'm currently working upon a Metro 6r4 for gtr2 and am starting to have problems with its physics. I 'm a bit of a perfectionist so i was wondering if anyone had any drawings or information about its suspension (for example ride heights, spring settings, steering etc.) Or anything about tyre and brake properties. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Woody00

Re: 6r4 Technical Info
Woody, its great to see another gamer on here. I have helped a chap for Richard Burns Rally develop the 6R4 for the game. I do have GTR2 but to be honest dont play it that often, I play rfactor alot though which is not far from the same game from what i have read on race sim central etc. Do you have a model of the 6R4 already in game? Would you mind showing us a pic or letting me have a go with it? As I can do some decent skins for you if you like? If you dont have a model in game I can ask the chap who's sent me the 6R4 model for you to use in GTR2. I think Sparkplug might be able to help you out as I seem to remember him saying that he makes a note of any changes to suspension settings and other bits for John Stone. Would it be possible to get the car into rFactor aswell? As there are some good gravel stages on that too. By the way what steering wheel and pedal setup do you use? I use the logitech G25 which is awesome to do heal and toe :D edit - Just had a quick google and noticed your post on no-grip. I used to post on there quite regular a couple of years ago. If oyu go to the gallery for richard burns rally you will see some of the 6R4 that me and a spanish chap have done. It looks awesome in-game. If you would like the model let me know and ill ask the chap if he minds or not.

By the way here is some techincal data that might be of some use to you for the physics. It is the data for a works 6R4 that is on the last page of the 6R4 sales brochure. Hope its of some help.

Some more pics of the model I have.

Hi Thanks for your interest and support heres a couple of pics of it in game , they are a bit out of date as i haven't fully updated the game yet (sorry if these pics don't appear , i'm quite new to forums in general) I'm currently trying to sort a few bits of the model mainly on the inside where i'm improving rollcage, engine, exhausts etc. Will probably try and get the final model into rfactor in the end although i may need help with this as i dont own a copy of rfactor. I also use the logitech g25 i find it gives a realistic feeling that no other steering wheel i have used provides. Once i've got the the model and texturing completely finished i will send you the template if you want to produce some skins. thanks for your help i will keep you updated Woody

Nicky can you turn that bloody ding-dong off on the thread page - it's doin' my head in. Not wanting to be evasive, but there has been a lot of trial and error, let alone expense in getting our set-up figures over the years, and therefore I am a little reluctant to broadcast them on here, but if you or Woody want to send me an email with specific questions I can probably see what I can find. Be nice to see a skin of Legend's car, might even go and buy a Playstation etc. :D

Cheers Sparkplug, Im sure Woody will email you with the questions. Any help would be appreciated. As for a legend skin im sure that can be arranged :wink:
