[Tutorial] How to create a low downforce spec car
Posted by TomMK
I thought I would write up a simple way to make a low downforce spec car for people who like to tinker with CSM mods.
In this tutorial we'll create a Monza spec version of the Toro Rosso STR9 by GeZeRe.
1. Open the lod_0 car in GP4 Builder and double-click on the upper_rear_wing object. You want to have only a single 'part' within the upper_rear_wing object, so move all other parts into part 0 (right click - move to part 0).
2. Select the Scale tool and lock the Z axis.
3. Click and hold the left mouse button. Drag the mouse until the wing becomes shallower.
4. Select the Move tool and again lock the Z axis.
5. Click and hold the right mouse button. Drag the mouse until the wing is in the correct position.
6. We don't have to do this for every lod. Export your upper_rear_wing object (file - export - export to .gp4). Then in every other lod, just delete the existing upper_rear_wing object and import your revised version.
Here's the result:

That's awesome, thanks mate.
Would be great to see a screenshot of the finish article.
Will you be making low-downforce versions of any other cars?
Races: 163 - Wins: 23 - Pole Positions: 24 - Fastest Laps: 22

I've added a couple of screenshots to the first post.
Unfortunately I can't make them for all cars because some authors lock the car shapes, but I'll do a few.
