    Hello guys,
    Here I am announcing my new project:
    The Actually-Being-Comfy Drivability Enhancement Project, aka “Project: Alphabet”! or “ABCDE” which arguably doesn't sound as cool
    The project is in the form of a config pack, featuring tens of finely tuned vehicles!
    All the configs are made with fully vanilla parts, so no extra mod is required to enjoy them!
    It’s still WIP, but I’m sure I’ll make it to the mod repo soon!
    (I also made a logo for this project which should be the first image, and it looks pretty cool imo)

    Review by @FallGem, the KING OF CONFIG PACKS:
    "(This config pack) sounds like something i would do if i had the time/effort to care lmao. legit its exactly what my pack is missing lol...love the idea"

    The purpose of the configs:
    The vehicles featured in this pack are rather balanced between comfort of driving and performance on the tracks. They also have just the right amount of power so even keyboard users can handle the cars easily. TLDR, they are supposed to be jack-of-all-trades for most use cases!

    Some common features of configs in this pack:
    • slightly increased power (usually between 300~400ps, with some exceptions)
    • sporty but not too harsh suspension, adaptive if available
    • some kind of aero but not too aggressive
    • cool trims and sport, somewhat grippy, but road-legal tires
    • chassis stiffening and roll cages for both safety and performance concerns
    • rear seats are maintained so you can supposedly put stuff onto or maybe even jam people into them (although the roll cage usually takes quite a lot of space in the rear)
    • AWD/RWD if available, with currently only one exception being the Pessima Mk2 which only has FWD
    Why is this post created?
    I'm not a god tier car tuner, so feedback from you guys is super important. I'll post the latest version of the pack in the thread as soon as it's finished so you guys can try it out and help me improve the configs! In other words, all of us following this post and trying out the configs are creators of this pack!

    Where can I find releases of the mod?
    All releases are available in this Google Drive folder:
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1U9k0dg1e8sxHuJGZ8jJULs2aoQpex8uO?usp=drive_link
    Changelogs are available in this Google Doc:
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tFkMIDmuPkHZgueSeQuuw_vH5HiKFgkOk8_WmnCSZE4/preview
    Give it a try and tell me what you think to improve the pack together!

    Yeah it is; I did identify a few issues with this version, namely some configs have wrong tuning values, and a hot fix will come later today, so stay tuned :)

    Thank you for your support!
    btw just to make sure, what do you mean when you said "get them to work in a folder"?

    That's EXACTLY what I am planning to do; however, I want to refine it as much as possible before it goes onto the repo, so I make pre-releases to see if people like them or not and if there's anything to be improved. Fortunately, it seems that dudes like them quite a lot, so formal release on the repo will come soon!
    If you have any good suggestions about part selections, the tuning of cars, or the aesthetics, please lemme know!

    Oh about mod approvals, I think you can try to contact the devs that are in charge. I think car_killer is one of them, so maybe try to contact him via discord?
    I'm not very sure about this since I haven't posted any mod on repo (my current project, as you can see, is still in WIP beta stage), but I think you can give it a try

    I think there is nothing wrong with posting mod on the forum (that's what I am essentially doing lol). If you really have trouble getting your mod approved then yeah just post it on the forum

    OOPS guys I've noticed a significant issue: the wheels I used for the ETK I-series config seems to be un-vanilla, so I need to change out the wheels and re-take the thumbnails...
    Also it's taking me quite a while to rework some configs so the update will drop (hopefully) tomorrow.
    Thank you guys for your support!
