WIP Beta released Ibishu Mirena (2000-2010) 1.3

I mean , 7-speed seems a bit out of Time Line . Perhaps make a 5-speed for lowest versions

 

The G37 had a 7-speed automatic as an option, and seeing how this car is based on it, it makes sense.

 

Also, the first 7-speed automatic transmission, the 7G-Tronic, was invented by Mercedes-Benz in 2003, but the first 7-speed manual was invented by Porsche nine years later, so... Besides, this car is supposed to be ahead of its time.

Anyway, given that the Mirena is inspired by some Nissan and Infiniti midsize sedans, I think it could have USDM headlights and taillights for the US, Canadian, Mexican, and Middle Eastern markets, as the current ones are of "worldwide" specification.

 

Great mod, first of all! I really like it!

I've noticed something minor:
the car spawns a bit too frequent in the shop in career mode. This can be easily fixed by reducing its prevalence in the info.json files.

 

I was trying to base on the production number of this whole mod with the BMW 3-Series at the time.

 

Twin Turbo for V10 WILL be added in next update, as well as a derby config + a RHD config + a 3.0L TT V6 config.

 

V6 sample from Engine Sounds Remastered mod (i'm pretty sure) vs Mirena's V6 sample
(base sample in the ESR mod is VR6, mirena v6 is vq35)

very similar, if not the same.

Spoiler

i am not saying the author stole the sounds, just making an observation.

 

Yeah I used them but don't worry I have permission though and of course crediting him in the repo page.

Touring suspension (based from midsize touring parts but modifying them to be compatible with the Ibishu Mirena), side notes added upperarms too with modifying the touring coilovers and touring hub.

 

Brake glow is coming in the next update.

 

Big update coming up!

 

Approval is going to be a while as approvals have been suspended for a while now. Who knows when the devs will resume them.

 

He could eventually post the file here and then on the repo when it will be back in operation.

 

Since the repo updates are in an indefinite hiatus until technical issues are fixed, I will put the REPO version here for now.

FROM THIS 1.1 UPDATE THERE WILL BE TWO VERSIONS, ONE ON REPO WITH NORMAL SOUNDS AND ANOTHER ON FORUMS WITH @Hell_Raiser_999 's SOUNDS.

REPO WILL HAVE THE SUFFIX "_REPO" (as "angry_bird_ibishu_mirena_REPO") AND FORUM WILL HAVE THE SUFFIX "_FORUM" (as "angry_bird_ibishu_mirena_FORUM") BASED FROM THE FILENAME "angry_bird_ibishu_mirena", MAKE SURE TO DELETE THE ONE WITHOUT THE SUFFIXES.

Btw If you are making videos please use the latest zip 1.1 version in this thread (REPO version)

 

I noticed a small bug: when doing high-speed drifting/sliding, the rear wheels vibrate and shake a lot.

 

I do not notice it much in ones with normal suspension but in the Touring suspension it could happen more especially in times where is wheelspin.

I guess something has to do with the friction of the halfshafts.

 

It would be nice for you to redesign the gauges cluster like the Infiniti G-Series with a monochrome display.

 

I am thinking about carving a square on the gauge cluster (not the gauge maps) for a gear display, might need to learn lua display which also means that I am not going to touch the needles as too many things could go wrong with touching the needles.

Next plans:
- Using original trunk baseline with EUDM bits to further refine the UVs, same goes to the rear bit of the body
- Refit the taillight frames as well as trunklight frames
- Carve some space for gear display on dash
- Try to figure out the mirrors
