@@ghostiie993 hey thanks for trying the mod! This is a known issue, there’s a solution in the comments somewhere that should work. I tested it myself and it does seem to solve the problem

@@StaticsMan Hey man my digital speedometer work perfectly, but my instrument cluster has no light. when i turn on the headlights. the problem is only with the Stage 5 AE86. please help me

I don't sadly. I'm currently working on updating the 86 to make it even more accurate. Im expecting to finish it sometime this summer. The gear ratios I did in this mod were purely custom. I'm trying to find more concrete gear ratios that achieve same feeling of good power on exit

@StaticsMan great ill wait for it 🙌🙌🙌

@@KiryuDojimasan thank you! I’ll upload a new video when it’s finished showing the changes. I have the engine tune mostly finalized, it’s just gearing at this point that’s tricky and will require a lot more testing.

@@Liu_I_AM thank you 🙏🏻

@@ClarkVinoya thank you!

The AE86 had a 4.778 gear ratio

@@SmallPotato95 stock was 4.3

@@jardim23 I’m talking about takumis ae86

@@SmallPotato95 Ryosuke noted that the car had the shorter gearing when he first saw it race in 1st stage. I wonder if Bunta kept the same 4.77 gearing when he installed the 20V 11K RPM engine.

@ I dunno you got discord? We might be able to discuss this more on there

@@stevenamador7596 I’m studying at university so I don’t have the exact numbers. I think I had everything on 0% with only velocity between 7-10%

@@SidewaysGts I’ve had this belief for over 3 years believe it or not haha. But I’ve tried using gear ratios based on an actual trd rally car and they felt too long. Most of the time you would need to be in first gear to drift hair pins which felt unnatural and the car would have slow exists since it took longer to accelerate (which defeats the purpose of having a more powerful engine in it) Most of the time in touge racing I prefer to have shorter gears to have more control over my speed and exit. The car feels more natural to me to drive like this and having it like this matches what was shown in the show. In the show the rpm did match the speed in that gear which is why I went with this as well. I highly doubt the show is accurate at all in terms of matching gearing and speed but I went off it anyways because that’s the only real material I have. I personally feel the car is built well for what it was designed for. This car isn’t made for top speed, it’s built for quick acceleration out of corners similar to a rally car. I think the current setup reflects that well.

@@StaticsMan "I’ve had this belief for over 3 years believe it or not haha. But I’ve tried using gear ratios based on an actual trd rally car and they felt too long" The final ratio will go a long way towards alleviating this. The predominant idea behind the TRD sets is having the RPMs drop to a better point on the upshift. With stock gearing (3.587, 2.022, 1.384, 1, and then .86), your 1st to 2nd shift will drop you from 11000 rpms to 6200 rpms. 2nd to 3rd will bring you to roughly 7500 rpms. 7900, then finally 9400 going into 5th. The "Type a" gear set will have you dropping close to 8000 rpms from gears 1-3- keeping everything very tight, so youre right in your power band in a higher revving engine. Your "speeds" in the gears would be more or less tuned with the final drive. If you use a stock final of 4.3 with that TRD set, your max speed with stock'ish sized tired would be 56 mph, 78 mph, and then 102 in 3rd- All pretty high. But if you go to say a 5.1, youll drop those speeds to 47, 66, and then 86 mph. The "downside" to the A set is youre predominantly set for 1-3, youll see a big drop going into 4th. But ya, "tuning" speeds with the final drive is largely how youd go about that. Of course the show is its own can of worms (The speeds / rpms are super inconsistent across the show. I chop this up more to artistic error than anything else- which is likely the realistic explanatio ). My comment was mostly to reflect how itd "realistically" have been done.

@@SidewaysGts thanks for the reply. I’m currently at university right now away from my gaming pc and sim setup but once I am home I’ll try and do some testing on your setup. This car was and has always been a work in progress, I wish the author was here to answer all my questions haha.

@@StaticsMan thatd be wicked man. would love to know how it goes

@@SidewaysGts Hey I finally got back from my school and tested the TRD TYPE A set. I altered the final drive to match that 3rd gear, 9000rpm, 115kph metric I had earlier. Gears 1-3 are almost the same as what I had in this video, they are a little longer in terms of feel but very usable. 4th and 5th gear are extremely short. Not enough to make a big difference since this is a touge car but enough to be like huh this feels odd. I think this is more realistic both to real life and the show. Here is what I chose to use, let me know what you think. Your comment was very helpful in helping me decide this. GEARSET TRD TYPE A GEAR_1=2.341 GEAR_2=1.607 GEAR_3=1.195 GEAR_4=1.0 GEAR_5=0.886 FINAL=7.25

@@thezusk438 first stage has it. The rest don’t for weight reduction 😎

@@bbeny I’m not sure either I think the latest shader patch stopped it from working unfortunately. Not sure how to really fix it either. If I do figure it out I’ll update everyone though

@@StaticsMan I found the solution! It was because the car was referring to a "simt_ae86" font in it's "digital_instruments.ini". After I downloaded SIMT's mod ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/j566o2CFjbN0b9k ) which has the missing font in it, and after installing it voilá, the speedo now works. :D Can I ask what ppfilter or options you are using though? Because the instrument cluster reflecting off from the plastic in front of it looks so cool

@@bbeny That's awesome! Ill have to try and fix that myself at some point this week once I finish all my work. Thanks for positing the solution for other to see as well! I was looking through the files last night and couldn't figure it out so I am glad you found the issue. I change pp filters on the daily but for this video I mightve been using the sky one. I also had some settings maxed out in content manager for reflections which would get that effect too. Thanks again for figuring it out, if I have time to make a followup/update video for this mod then I'll credit you :)

@@StaticsMan Awww thank you :) I also want to thank you for making this awesome version of the RKGaming 86. Definitely one of the best Initial D cars I've seen/used ^^

@@bbeny Of course I am glad you enjoy it! I had motivation to make it because of how lack luster most of the mods were. RKGaming made the best one before I made mine and it provided me the necessary framework to make this, he deserves most of the credit haha. I just tweaked it all to enhance it.

Nice

@@Kashi-K I’m the first to make it with the most correct gear ratios and tunes until proven otherwise though

@@ilhanoxu8885 I get what you’re saying but I respectfully disagree with your statement. The car was tuned to be the way you described for the fifth stage to “increase mid range power” as stated in the manga and anime several times. The reason I tuned it the way I did with peak power being around 10k rpm (last I remember) for all the other stages was because of the various clips in second stage of the car’s power being cut off because Takumi was shifting too early at 8k rpm making it seem like it had “less power than before”. Another point to respectfully disprove your claim is you can look at various tunes for high revving engines such as motorcycle engines like the Kawasaki zx6r which build peak power close to redline or also older f1 cars. The entire point of having a high revving engine is to make more power, otherwise you’re just decreasing reliability for no cause. In fifth stage they stated they tuned the car the way they did for reliability reasons as well.

I designed the gear ratios to be: a) based on the speeds shown in the clips in the videos b) to be geared for most touge courses. You unfortunately can’t have a perfect ratio unless you design for a specific course. But feel free to edit and change the mod to your will. Its free and open for everyone to use :)

@@StaticsMan ok thx bro

@@StaticsMan ive tried again and my result was 1st gear-60kmh 2nd gear-100kmh 3rd gear-135kmh 4th gear-180kmh 5th gear-210kmh

u should try it. its a fire setup

@@StaticsMan i first based my gears after a video with a toyota starlet with a 4age that revs up to 11k. then i tweaked it a little to suit takumi detuned 20v 4ag

Hmm I’m not sure, I don’t have that issue on my end

@@StaticsMan I guess i'll live with it, on a sidenote though is the nakazato setup better than the default one on the stage one 86?

@@cyxus8333 its preference based on your driving style. I tend to like it more but I can’t tell if it’s placebo

Akina downhill

Ye

That's a weird bug I have been unable to fix. I'm not sure what causes it. Normally restarting the race from the launcher fixes it. This also happens with other cars in the pack but more often with the first stage car. Sorry, I'd fix it if I knew how :(

@@StaticsMan Alright, thank you bro. I "fixed" by putting on the 1st stage car the sound package you made for the 5th stage car. Not the ideal solution but its better than before

@@musicbykarma yea the only reason I didn’t do that was because they’re technically two different engines so I wanted that to be distinct. You could probably also find other sound mods out there if you want to use them instead.

Thank you! They’re different ratios for some cars so you’d need to check it in the files yourself under drivetrain.ini

It’s a mod called camtool2. You can also push F5 on your keyboard and you’ll be able to play with more angles.

F1 will go back to default camera settings

Thank you :)

Thank you, I would continue if my schedule permits it. Last summer I had a lot of free time so I was able to start and complete this project and do a lot of sim racing. Going forward not so much unfortunately, but I'll try to keep posting content whenever I can!
