there is a nother variant of the FIAT 126p and it's the BIS --- Post updated --- sorry for bad English
It's supposed to only spawn on modded maps, Italy and ETK center, shouldn't spawn on others but tbh I never tested it
Do you have the smart traffic spawning option enabled? I have seen videos of people using this in traffic and they weren't getting this car
I have run into an annoying bug: whenever the engine blows up the game disables the vehicle, like on old mods when tires burst: Screenshots from console below, since I forgot to include that in the video. Other bugs that I have encoutered apart from model issues include seemingly too strong rear brakes(can't stop rear wheels from locking, but perhaps it happens IRL too with the car being very short and light)and somewhat funky jbeam: Overall I have had an amazing experience reading through the descriptions of all the different models, choosing country specific models for some roleplay, customization is also amazingly varied and I even had a blast pitting the Polish, Italian, German, British, Austalian and Austrian versions against eachother Only thing I have not managed to have fun with this mod is the actual driving: It is very slow, but at the same time incredibly scary to drive
As I previously said, this car is really tail heavy and the wheelbase is really short, so you need to be gentle and quick on the controls to keep it stable. Another solution would be try to ruin the grip on the front wheels, by using better rear tires than in the front, as well as a stiff front sway bar with high tire pressures on the front. Even with that, it'll still snap oversteer. My suggestion would be use the arcade steering mod, since it does the small corrections for you.
The "special" handling makes the car truly unique, and maybe when(or if) I learn to drive the Maluch it will be rewarding feeling. Either way it is still fun to have something very different to drive that is still realistic. About the arcade steering mod, I would not like it since the only reason I almost never play Forza Motorsport 7 is the arcade steering in that game.
the thing with the arcade steering is that it makes the steering on keyboard and controllers more realistic (the caster has effect on the steering and so on) and it kind of adds FFB to those systems.
The thing with the Jbeam bugs you metioned is that they got reported during beta testing but I couldn't replicate them on my end. I would take the same config and do the same thing but it wasn't happening. I have no clue with the engine disabling, it never happens to me on any engine, the hood wobbling for me only happens on a few configs that are especially heavy, and the rest never wobbled for me. I suppose the main body Jbeam I made (that was over a year ago now, I had nowhere near the amount of experience I have now) is so janky that the shaking is just random or depends on too many factors for me to replicate. Unfortunately I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO REDO THE WHOLE THING AGAIN TO FIX IT if that's the case. I probably need someone with a ton of Jbeam experience to check what is precisely the issue if I want to avoid remaking it. Rear brakes are definitely not too strong. The values are not random or estimated, but calculated with comparing irl data with values from vanilla cars. If anything, the oldest ones might be too weak, which was a thing irl. No idea why rear ones specifically are the issue for you. Being dangerous to drive is also realistic but only to an extent. Due to the model being badly made, the rear wheelbase is significantly too short, like with the correct one the wheels stick out of the wheel wells a bit, and being so short it makes it too easy to spin out. In version 2.0 that will be fixed and it should handle better. I find it fun to drive but spinning out often ruins it. (Another annoying but this time fully realistic thing is how slow it is in general, even with the 800cc engine it is comparable to the stock Pigeon in terms of speed, that says a lot.)
The Jbeam issue would indeed be hard to replicate: it only has happened once for me, and that happened after slowly damaging the car. Also I added that in more as a joke(since it looked funny) rather than a real bug report since some vanilla vehicles do the same every now and then. Since you don't have the engine blow-up bug I will have to try to recreate it in safe mode later. I might also try doing some more specific braking tests to figure them out for at least my own curiosity.
I managed to fix the engine error, it's actually caused by a bug in the game code so I made a workaround for it. In the hotfix there will be a fixed version.
I was in the 595 Personal config and I stalled it. When I started it back up, the gas pedal didn't work. Not sure if it's like this in other configs but you should check it out. Edit: Same thing happens if I just turn the engine off
