Some screenshots:


JBEAM:


Knowing issues:
1. Differences in weight with the real prototype by approximately 500 kg.
2. Slight instability of floor jbeam (in hard crash cases).
3. Lack of floor (I mean jbeam) in the rear part of the body.
4. The UV for skins is a little bit strange, I recommend using Substaice Painter or Blender for skin making.
5. Mirrors reflection is broken. Technically they exist, but work not as it need to work.
6. The central door and the access hatch to its rail cannot be openned at same time.

What I planned to make next:
1. Bugs/issues fixes.
2. LED route advisors implementation (at this moment - as simple texture).
3. Repository release.
4. Adding more additional tuning parts / more skins / more features.
5. Adding facelifts based on real Hino/ISUZU/MMC busses.

Special thanks to:

• BeamNG Team - for DT40L jbeam;
• EJY, igor06krups, justbewilde - for early alpha testing;
• ATV75 - for some technical consultations;
• CYCJoseph - for central door JBEAM;
  
• jfef - for realistic headlight and foglight light pattern textures;
• NS_Pro - for help with lua;
• komeya7 - for real prototype photos and help with japanese text;

 

Finally, something ike this drops before I turn off my PC! (Even before I turn it on too)
I’ll try giving some feedback later

 

All the functionality of this bus is super impressive, and the texture work in the interior is incredibly well put together. I appreciate how much of the labeling is crisp and readable and the how fonts seem to be appropriate, it's these kind of details like that that go a long way to make the vehicle rather believable.

Super excited to see where this goes!

 

i'm so happy you released it already, it looks amazing
the only 2 problems i have with this release is that there is no driver camera which is sad because the interior is beautiful (but at least the relative camera is there)
second problem i have is that the windshield has weird reflections on it

otherwise still a super nice mod!! once these two things get fixed i can throw the wentward away

 

The lighting may seem a bit weird in a few places (says the guy on low settings), but generally the mod is very cool! I especially love the dash and gauges, as well as the swinging holding things on the inside.
Also, a snowman can fit into the doors, although bus mods are clearly not made for snowmen and I don’t rate them for that, just wanted to point it out

The camera issue has already been pointed out, so I won’t mention it, but is the 1st gear really meant to be redlining so fast? I’m no bus expert, and so far I only tested the normal 5MT config, so I dunno if it’s intentional.

 

I hope to have an itasha pack in the next update.

 

Hey nice mod!
Future Plans->LHD? ^^

 

This is actually amazing for what it is. I cant wait for future improvements to make this even better.

 

absolutely love it. another quality addition to my London themed collection
some euro white and yellow number plates would be wonderful

 

help i spawn the bus and just a white wentward spawns flying around the map

 

Nice to see another bus in BeamNG. I'd like to see European plates and LHD configurations, too. Great work out there!

Clear cache maybe?

 

I'm real happy to be able to drive this mod finally after a year!

 

I'm having an issue with the download, I didn't get to take a screenshot but the game gave me a warning of "invalid file" or something along those lines. I just put it in my mods folder like any other mod.
--- Post updated ---
It came up again after clearing cache, it read "invalid zip file" and it did this for both the main mod and the skin pack

 

eye candy

 

I don't know why but which one do you download the mod in the google drive when i download it when i put it in my mod folder it doesn't show in my beamng can you please give a guide on how?

 

SAME WITH ME IT WORK BUT WITH NO TEXTURES CLEARED THE CACHE AND I TRY SPAWN IT AND MY CAR STARTS TO FLY AROUND THE MAP

 

Just retry downloading it again, it happened the same thing to me but I tried it twice and it worked fine afterwards.
And if it doesn't work again then Idk what's the problem.

Just make sure the zip.file name for the main mod is "JAero_1.0b" only and not "JAero_1.0b0349080bse0394dv9x0" something something

 

If I remember correctly it make sense only if used ingame texture cooker or I am wrong?

Well, technically highbeam(default in BeamNG) here is lowbeam(in mod). And yes, its intentional choice (because afaik on real Isuzu Erga is possible to turn on highbeam separetly from lowbeam).

Yes, I know. I have AO remake in "to do".

To be honest - headlight textures (glowmaps also) is nightmare for me, because its look differently in SP, blender and beamNG and its feels like I tries to find a needle in a haystack (I mean materials setting in SP(for headlights/taillights glasses)/bake settings in blender (for glowmaps)).
