What is the rFactor 2 Suspension Ultra Chassis Generator Spreadsheet?

  • This is a little little spreadsheet to help ‘automatically’ create Ultra chassis files (with flexing chassis), without having to go to the extra step of opening pTool what-so-ever.
  • Firstly, it requires LibreOffice.org (preferably 4.2.8) to open. If you don’t have libreoffice, you can download it here. OpenOffice may work but may also have some issues.
  • White cells are the ones you’re supposed to edit, the rest I don’t suggest touching, but some of you may find interesting. Everything is completely open you can edit whatever you wish, if you so wish.
  • It still outputs .pm files because the 3rd party application CarFactory (http://www.kangaloosh.com/cms/Welcome/Download/tabid/57/Default.aspx) is still one of the best (and most conventient) free tools to analyse your suspension geometry.
  • This also outputs some steering lines for the HDV and also pushrod location stuff, though that part is a little messier, and you have to copy and paste that stuff into the right places yourself… It also so far only works for conventional double wishbone setups, luckily far and away the most common.
  • We’d like to know how popular tools like this might be and how it might suit modders. One reason to implement this in a spreadsheet is it allows users full control and is generally pretty easily adapted to new features, and purposes.
