Hi everyone, I very proud to release the MPA 11 car kits for speed dreams. It took quite a while to work everything out but it I finally got there. We have a working base to make the complete 2011 MPA line up .
I say it is a working base because the graphics are ok but I had massive troubles with setups (I still do actually ). The oval one is ok for milky, but remains questionable on the other speedways. For the roadkit it's another story, I can not get it to drive better or faster whatever I do as a result you get quite a lot of understeer and happy tail end. It would be very nice to have a setup guru helping out, because I am running out of ideas... There are just too many dark areas for me.
I also couldn't get the driver's head movements to work. I did copy exactly WEC's files but wouldn't work so I removed this feature.
On the other hand, I am pretty happy with the models. So here they are:

These car cars are at your disposal, you can play modify or make improvement proposals as you like. It would be very nice to fix the setups as I didn't manage to do it. I will also make the skinning templates, uv maps and bakes for 2d texturing artists when I have time. I used Inkscape to texture the car so I will post gimp and inkscape files.
It would be very cool to build a group of motivated people to create the full 2011 line up and tracks, I personaly have no track creation experience (got the track editor working for the first time saturday). I don't have much time but I am pretty motivated to have a go at the dw12 besides skinning work of these models.
Hope you enjoy these cars and feel free to give feedback. Constructive comments are always welcome.
Have fun and a nice evening.
