WIP Beta released Hirochi NSB "Aero" (based on Isuzu Erga/Hino Blue Ribbon) 1.05

moment

 

Can't wait for more news of the progress! I really love it

 

I have never been SO wrong.

After 5 months and 10 days it finally arrive to intermediate warehouse in my country. I think I wait to end of this week (because some other goods should have been in the same container (not related with this project)), and I arrange shipping to me (plus around one week (it 100%)).



UPD1. Okay, parcel is formed, now just wait.

 

I surprisingly never found this thread before. Looks great, hope we will be able to see it in-game sometime

 

ive been waiting for a new bus mod my entire life!!!!
please dont quit on this, good luck.

 

Some progress on this moment (materials is temporary).

 

Wow!

 

Got it!

In terms of the amount of information, it’s not what I expected, but there are some important things there (the logic of the dashboard, automatic transmission, and if I understood everything correctly, some information on the suspension).

 

we need more buses. heck. yes.

 

talking about dedication, this will be the most realistic bus mod! Specifically an Isuzu or Hino bus! Two of my favorite truck brands!

 

I think its fitting when you make an Isuzu or Hino truck aswell, since nobody have done them maybe its your chance to make them. I mostly love Isuzu especially when they are in a Dekotora form i always watch them in youtube and they are awesome. Incorporating them in beamng could be game changing, nobody has done much of asian trucks most of them are American.

 

Engine if possible for diesel using 4.8 4 cylinder turbodiesel, 5.6 6 straight turbodiesel from Ibishu or not for gasoline using 5.5 v8 and 6.9 v8 from gavril

 

It's just amazing! I am looking forward to seeing the mod progress toward completion.
By the way, ERGA Mio is what we call a medium-sized route bus in Japan, while the normal ERGA is a large route bus. Large route buses come in several body lengths, but the standard length is 10.5 meters. Although 9 meters is standard for medium-sized route buses, a 10.5 meters type was also available. However, ERGA Mio did not have a lineup.
Also, the widths of large and medium-sized vehicles differ. Tire size is also smaller on the medium size.
I did a search in Japanese and found some references, if you want!

Some progress (floor, mostly normal suspension/bumper mounts, some corrections in frame/suspension/body). I'll be honest - this is one of the most strangest thing what I model ever (for some reason).



In addition - If someone can make some interior/exterior photos - write me in DM.

 

Can't wait to see this cruising around the Shutoko! keep up the great work

 

Is there a high floor version?

 

Not sure if it says anywhere but what are the engines planned?

 

If all goes as I have it in plans - on initial release - 8PE1 (15L V8) with some tuning. In next patches - 4HK1-TCS (5.2L I4) and (dont think what it can fit into it, but why not) - 12PE1 (V12).

 

Not 1 to 1 to real but looking good I think.

 

I could link you to some Japanese Bus photos (that used to arrive here, now all of them has been scrapped. Poor maintenance, door never closes, aircon's dead, )

• Isuzu Cubic
