Title: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: MRO on April 09, 2013, 09:45:27 PM
Here's the new version of Rotax Max airbox..
of course it needs to be with Rotax Max engine which I'm starting to do: position of airbox will match the new engine
ciao

thank you looks excellent! when you make the engine are you going to do the minimax , junior max and the senior?

when you need some help i gonna do as much as i can!
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125) airbox
Post by: MRO on April 09, 2013, 10:32:26 PM
Tks.
I'll start with Max, then without exhaust valve (junior) then step by step mini and micro.. but frankly I consider much more interesting to work on DD2 after Max.
Also sound and phy of Rotax will be included.
(thank you LauZzZn: I will count on you)

well if you need any j max photos just give me a shout

ThankYou.
We're a team driving also Rotax Max in championship so for photos no need.
DD2 is more complicated because I don't have in garage.
But what really I'd need (and don't find) isn't photo but blueprints:
the only sketches are the exploded diagrams in manuals,
useless because never in orthogonal position..
any idea?

Anyhow I must ask PiBoSo to publish a chassis without front brakes,
because a Rotax Max with front brakes is ridicolous
and I wouldn't like to work a lot for a "no meaning job"

***
LauZzZn, but were you doing a new helmet? where is it?
I need an helmet plain (without spoilers): like Stilo for example
(see attached here)

yes, I work with simulators since 2004 and I am a perfectionist.

Hei James, what a wonderful fiches document have you in UK! very detailed..
(our last document is very poor of images, as you probably know new direction of Rotax for Italy is a Swisse co
that opened near CRG in Lonato..
CRG is following now only partially.. takes time to build a new organization, in particular for a foreigner operator)
it's very useful and I will draw the blueprints on these orthogonal photos

hei Doctor,
READ my post in other "engine modding" which I've written to PiBoSo, before writing sentences.
I'm doing 3d + tex, Max sound phy and full set,
but will not release it until PiBoSo will not release
- editing chassis
- or simply a chassis without front brakes
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125) airbox
Post by: Nathan Dunnett on April 10, 2013, 10:12:39 PM
The KF-A chassis (what the KF3 and F100 karts use) doesn't have front brakes. All you need to do is add another kart using the KF-A chassis with the appropriate ballast and your engine, and I suppose you would limit it to the hard compound tyre.

now just draft
purpose is to do an highly detailed engine
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125) airbox
Post by: EVO on April 11, 2013, 05:21:14 AM
the left part of the carb is covered by the engine intake manifold so you can delete that and save some polys there

yes of course Evo, this is just a draft which I use for proportions, also smooth here is totally wrong.. step by step
Title: Airbox final version
Post by: MRO on April 14, 2013, 03:41:10 PM
I found a couple of details to improve in the airbox:
corrected the tilt angle of bottom-front structure and intake pipes and bottom area.
It wasn't necessary because you see upper part, but now it's "perfect", not earlier.
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125) airbox

Post by: MRO on April 15, 2013, 07:33:32 PM
yes, of course.
taking little bit longer time because work only in the evening and in this moment I'm busy for job.
at the end they'll be 5 blocks:
exhaust, engine, radiator, carb and airbox..
if PiBoSo gives me the way to work on chassis I'd like also to remake tank (semi-transparent with fuel liquid moving effect), chain and sproke area, seat..
pity that it isn't clear that I don't want to "use" but to "improve" such EDF.

Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: MRO on May 19, 2013, 12:17:40 AM
3dsMax 10.

No James, it isn't my primary job..
just my "third job" since as said I worked in staff for two race sim
(high tech sim for rally and gp training,
not rf or cmr eh? that are just toys..)
I've been software developer and 2d 3d designer.
but not my real job.

Secret is precision, I'm a perfectionist, as you said:
starting from a sketch made with pencil quoted to 1/2 mm
(go and back from garage to measure our engines)..
not from photoshop, which is good only for texture..
a real pencil draw let you study deeply.
A good project allows to save time instead hundred times testing in 3d.

It might be that it seems (or is?) maniacal:
but a well prepared work makes it fluent.

I'm 50 and whole life on car races, now my son in kart races..
same love I put in drawing racing cars.
So I replied about timing too..
long time, because not my job, and because for next step (exhaust) I'm taking again paper and pencil..

3d are of course little bit heavier than rough models, but apply some solutions to optimize them.
There are some areas that could be improved, and some points I'd like to study, but free time is strict..

That's the story.. hope to have replied to everyone's question.
Now pass to radiator texture.

PS:
e.g. pivots are positioned so you can open cooling flap, turn the water expansion box insert on the cap, and rotate the radiator inclination: so it'll be easier to adjust once combined the engine.

and fixing bar has a part for hex wrench on left side

do you mean rotax max sounds?
we tried to record it by real, with gopro onboard of my son's, but not satisf quality
I found only old rF r max ignition and idle revs, but not high mid and low revs

Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: Nathan Dunnett on May 19, 2013, 12:16:14 PM
You would need a pretty good mic to avoid as much clipping as possible.
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: Piers Prior on May 19, 2013, 12:28:25 PM
clipping?
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: Nathan Dunnett on May 19, 2013, 12:46:22 PM
Clipping is when the wavelength of sound is greater than what the microphone can record (or what a speaker can play), basically when it's too loud which I think would be a problem in a dyno room. For what it sounds like, think about when you hold a microphone in the wind. I could be wrong but I think this would be problematic for recording in such a loud environment.

Example of clipping, skip to 3:50

so please,
I'm spec for design and software, but not for sound recording
who records?
can you record it with a good mic?
I think it must be near exhaust, but not too much: e.g. on the back part of seat, or attached on the driver suit right shoulder

but need regular sounds for
high revs on
off
low revs on
off
mid revs on
off
for at least 5 or 7 seconds each

Post by: MRO on May 26, 2013, 11:34:46 PM
right, it's because they have longer time of snow and bad weather (to tell the truth this year we never had a race without rain and snowy on end May at just 1000 mt mountains, but.. this year is strange)
rear brakes only Worldwide for Rotax Max, apart some northern Countries.

There was talks of taking front brakes off KF1 at one point as it reduced the overtaking in the race as everyone could brake so much later, so it doesnt actually make more overtaking. I guess it depends on the track though, if there are long straights it will help but on more technical circuits it wont making overtaking better

With front brakes you can brake much later witch leads to more overtakings and better racing..

Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: MRO on May 27, 2013, 04:20:36 PM
oh guys!!!
what a caos!

about the model:
I make Rotax Max WITHOUT front brakes because it is and has to be without:
who wants the front barkes just change to KF and uses that chassis.

It is NONSENSE (and "if permitted" I tell my point of view since we have either pilots in National and in World / Euro Rotax Champ):
it is VERY STUPID from Rotax to have allowed such confusion, permitting the use of front brakes in some Countries only, this generates a lot of misunderstanding and moreover the "impossibility to make comparation between Countries": since National Champ should be "the door to go to Extra National Champ": this generates a NONSENSE because all pilots / all Countries should have to reach Ultranational Champ in same condition!!! (why making the regulation fiches? to put some ruls /fixed points: but in this case we see the opposite).
Rotax Max has more or less 30 HP: why front brakes? are you all learning to drive right now? (I mean people that insists that "front brakes in "just Rotax" are necessary, beautiful, nice like a beautiful girl) THEY ARE JUST FUN, USELESS, NO MEANING):
WAKE UP!! I'm a car race driver since 1987 and can say that exceed in brake system is useful when just necessary, otherwise useless, stupid and creates only problems of weight (race with Porsche, where brake system is not "just funny")..
In karting, all what is weight is problem: also useless front brakes.

So I understand that for KF with 42 to 45 HP, or KZ with 50 + HP front brakes are useful,
but nobody can say this with 10 to 15 HP less.

Who says that to drive with front brakes is better because you brake later (sorry for my sincerity, but a forum is done to exchange ideas and LEARN something) it just mean that
"still needs a little bit training more":
remind that the modern braking system (mean for example the CRG ven05 or other) are air cooled and double, floating and with big caliper, where brake pads are studied for the maximum performance (infact you change every 2 times)..
if with such braking system you cannot brake at very last moment it just means that your training / performance was done with this bad habit: never meet who has only back brakes because brakes exactly where you brake, but is lighter weight, so advantaged and more expert.

The fact is totally different and since I started this topic I feel the responsibility to put some ending points to this discussion:
the fact is that many ("too many") Countries are "crazy for pilot safety" and exaggerate in safety regulations (by this foolish idea tomorrow someone could put rubber front like in Disneyland :-)):

we alyas see in television people going out with umbrella just because "weather could be rainy" (poor them) and we all smile, right?
if someone doesn't want risk in races just don't race: play football.

But please don't say that to drive a Rotax with front brakes is better: I can only understand that they could be useful (just could be, because also in Italy it's snowy in winter) useful for Northern Countries where for longer time there can be some ice on the road.. (and also this has be proved, because if you're really able to use brakes ven05 are more than sufficient).

And now let me say (I never said :-), just one time now):
Italy is the Country where most of car races started, and the origin of karting:
CRG, Tony Kart, Maxter, Birel, ..., ..., ..., (should I go on?)
SO: WHY HERE IN ITALY WE DON'T USE FRONT BRAKES? should be a good reason.. right?

We arrive to detach some stickers because save 600 gr and you wish to add 2 and half kg of useless front brakes?
in this case we are in two different Worlds.

about Eurochallenge and Grand Finals it's another story: we also participate (without) to Grand Finals:
front brakes are "just allowed", not obligatory.. that's the point:
"how could them be forbidden, when the organizer allowed them in some Countries? when all Countries are together they must be accepted" (because confusion, this problem, already started at origin).

if someone is offended from this my post please just tell:
my will is to give friendly suggestions and opinions only :-)
bye

i totally agree with mauro, if people want front brakes then just take them off the kf karts, it's a stupid argument really as this is what would need to be done anyway, in order to make it so there are brakes at the front, if mauro just leaves it standard then people can do what they want but i certainly won't be using front brakes

Malaysia
In accordance with the 2013 Rotax Technical Regulations on the front brakes for the Senior category, and after having received requests from drivers & teams, we have decided that the use of front brakes for Senior Max will no longer be allowed at all Rotax events in Malaysia. Therefore all drivers who currently currently have front brakes will need to remove them for the 2013 season starting with the Rotax Invitational event in January.

Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: MRO on May 27, 2013, 08:40:28 PM
and that's right and technically correct:
magnesium hubs, ring and disc carrier, duralcan brake disc cost a lot to save more or less 1,8 kg
in race we calculate fuel to save weight,
etc etc..
to insist that to add 2,5 to 3 kg front brake system (even if useless) is an advantage is simply nonsense..
I understand that in some Countries it can be obligatory, and there pilots MUST use: but this is not good at all.

Sorry for my long essay (as you see it's rare that I talk too much) but when I read something too "strange" in racing tech matter..
hope this matter is clear now  :D

bad news ..................
my pc is infected by a bad virus and had to suspend work until I don't solve the problem.
I will come back ASAP.
Of course no risk for you: virus is a "fake internet portal" called v9 and produced by Beijing Elex Technology, which capture all secret information from pc (while digiting the pin codes or other data) and pass to third party.
To do this the virus destroy the registry codes because it needs to mask itself under false registry ID.
So prefer to spend my time to destroy such animal and then come back.

Post by: MRO on June 03, 2013, 12:15:51 AM
be very careful to this virus "en.v9.com", really "trendy" in these last days:
when you note that youir homepage disappeared and insist to come back a new portal proposing you facebook, google, called "v9" you're in serious troubles.

v9 is a fake portal which redirect all your browser data to its links, installs 15 to 16 trojains on your pc (under false names and inside paths which you respect, because you need everyday) and captures all your delicate information and passwords to send to third party.

I took 4 days to destroy it, and no one antimalware could really catch it: just one listed the infection paths and I erased all handly with regedit (directly inside registry): I can confirm that we worked in two for 19 hours consecutively to repeat this for four times before discovering that while you cancel the registry it creates "its own safety folders everywhere (mainly in Documents and Settings with new names) to remain alive"..
it's strange and makes you crazy, because it seems a real intelligence which doesn't want to dye while you're killing it.

Be careful because they're so strong that they've a signature too: "Beijing ELEX Technology"..
and that's the novelty "we have also a signature of the virus creator".. crazy World

you're very nice
don't worry: they're seven years that I work in main simulators (even not my real job/activity) and gave all my strenght and contribute in official staff (repeat: don't mean toys like rF)..
I'm maniac of precision, so never will publish something if not really perfect.
About Rotax Max in real life it can seem strange, but I partially agree with you, even if we are a Rotax max team in int.l Champ too.. but believe me that Rotax in each Country is something different (and this is main problem of Rotax organization) and here in Italy is quite serious.
We run in Rotax and KF2.

Post by: MRO on September 07, 2013, 08:10:27 PM
update on engine.. nice question
well.. I'm working to Rotax Max for two reasons
- Rotax karting for web site applications and other use (whom I promised ready before end of year)
- KRP
but the two models have one point different: weight and triangles number.
Infact for Rotax karting official my work should be as detailed (and perfect) as possible,
same I started for KRP too, but Your SIM creator put some limits which keep too light your models.
The difference between my model and other KRP models is enormous,
and this because KRP preferred low quality models when projected software engine.
I already tested my models in KRP and they work, but actually can't say (UNTIL FINISHED) if they slow down or not..
so?
so I must calculate extra work to strongly decrease quality if my model slows down your game, and this makes impossible to say when Rotax Max will be ready.
hopefully once tested it works well, and this means "ready by one month only", but if it is too heavy (not heavy at all!! but "heavy compared with other KRP models") what should I say now?

frankly speaking, for all other sim I worked models were detailed, heavy and sophisticated (perfect and REAL, as You and me like) but we're now facing a possible problem which doesn't involve me, but the engineers that projected KRP at its beginning.
must check... anyhow I will never make a poor model to make it work in a sim, indeed, in that case better to use meaningless basic models.

what to say?
let's wait and hope.. I will know at the end of my efforts.

Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: MRO on September 08, 2013, 05:19:07 PM
yes, tks, I already discussed with PiBoSo about this point some months ago
and my worry comes from his replies: I asked the maximum size average
and it is for this reason that I'm worried about KRP standard
but everytime I make tests it works quite well:

to make my tests I also use a very low performance graphic card,
so it immediately slows down in case of problems
(too easy to test with a top graphic card, nonsense)

so I'm proceeding because tests are giving good result till now:
but cannot test it for example in a race online, where it could be more critical situ

however nor PiBoSo can reply: he doesn't know (he said)
and my friend EVO is not replying to my mails: we had a daily update at the beginning, then he disappeared.. really don't know why (since he's expert of KRP performance, probably could know this tech detail)

did you see the details, the valve spring and the sprockets teeth? 12 x small sprocket and over 70 for engine sprocket (72)
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: Birel-Rotax 42 on July 17, 2014, 04:13:20 PM
Details are astounding!  100% accurate! When I had to take the FP7 and Freeline bodywork from SolidWorks (3d CAD) to 3ds Max, I used the 3ds max modifiers "optimize" and "multi-res" in order to consolidate polygons. Similarly, I think that when you get it in game, I can apply reflective and specular maps to parts of the engine (to get a chrome/light shining effect)

Like this:


Can't wait!
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: Taddzy on July 17, 2014, 04:24:40 PM
mro how do you do it. im not a fan of rotax in anyway shape or for (even tho i have one) but this model for a game if just EPIC MAN keep up the work because it is going to be the best modelling of a rotax in a game iv ever seen
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: MRO on July 17, 2014, 04:28:22 PM
of course, that was already planned.
as I told I'm doing the engine for Rotax and meanwhile for KRP: so I work with full details (at now over 200,000 triangles), and then simplify for KRP.
As example the most easy piece, the pick up - connector has 701 faces.
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)

Post by: MRO on July 28, 2014, 02:26:53 PM
Great effect Birel-Rotax_42.
About "optimizer" option pay a lot of attemption: it is the easiest way to reduce poly or triangles, yes, but you must take care of detailed parameters:
if you don't do so, in a "full detailed work" risk is "bad interpretation of some very small shapes" and it creates distortions, wasting all
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: MRO on July 29, 2014, 02:31:55 PM
updated and more refined
of course all part regarding engine are still without textures

Post by: maxrod on October 04, 2014, 02:56:23 PM
Just out of interest I may have missed it but can you tell me how many polys?.
Title: Re: Rotax Max (FR 125)
Post by: MRO on October 06, 2014, 01:30:59 PM
why do you want to know?
I told you that it is too huge for KRP, I'm doing for BRP Rotax GmbH and will reduce to minimum for KRP.
It is not poly buyt triangles: at the moment I'm at 50,588 faces, final work will be approx 53,000 faces.
Then will reduce to 40,000 / 45,000 with some solutions (pure splines rendered, some common instances, etc).
It is a huge detailed work.
