Ill work on that later.. Now I just need someone to model a 1958 Plymouth Fury..



God, do I love that car.

hehe, well, I'm looking to make another car :)

I was thinking of many different ones I could make. 

 - Hearse
 - Bus
 - Model T or similar era car
 - 66 Chevy Nova SS

I think what I can do/what can be done on this belair too, would be to make 2 wheel Params, and set the front to slip less and rear to slip more.  I'm not sure it's currently rear wheel drive in-engine either, I think it might be FWD?

Looks RWD from my testing. Unless it is all wheel drive.. TO THE CODE!!

It shouldn't be 4x4, but I copied the BMW code in and modded it a bit.  So it is probably whatever that was.

I am starting to get the hang of how odd this coding system works..

One of the biggest issues is that the sound doesn't correspond with the wheels spinning. So I am ramping up the torque to burnout levels and the vehicles emits the same slow movement sounds. Is there a way to have the sound alter pitch based on the actual wheels rotating?

Is there a way to set the FOV for the FP camera?  I know we can set the position.  But it would be nice to be able to widen the FOV a bit.

In game graphics menu.
But also thought if it's possible to set it in script (individually for each vehicle).

Yeah. I wanted to set for my specific car. Maybe it's just a code update to check if in FP mode of the vehicle like camera pos.  Then it picks up the custom fov

Don't quite know what to make of this car. The bounding box of the suspension must be messing with it. Even allowing a full meter of upward travel on the suspension she still flips out (very literally) when you are going fast across terrain. I did manage to get the multiple gear system working.

STILL LOOKING TO MOVE THE SOUND EFFECTS TO WHEEL RPM!! and not speed through the air.
