Released AW Astro 4.0.6 Final

If you regret your very first message, what it will be for the next ones?

 

Bug report:
the mod has missing taillights and front windshield texture.

 

There is a fix for this on the previous page by "A Plane Guy". If you already have that patch added, then it might be a conflict with another mod of yours.

 

I dont have a picture of it, but even with the texture fix installed, the engines are still messed up and orange because of the no texture.

 

You sure this isn't just on your side?

I went through every engine I could find and all I found was this.

 

I might've not installed it correctly, idk. I've cleared cache multiple times i guess its a compatibility error of some sorts, Imma retry and see if i could fix my issue. thanks.

 

thx so much very simple fix aswell

 

Nekkit updated AW Astro with a new update entry:

This mod is in DESPRATE need of a REWORK!, This dosen't have opening doors or opening roofs, or even 5 doors!, THIS NEEDS A REWORK!

Did you read about the update note

 

AW Astro - Final Update | BeamNG

 

Aw Astro (or Etk A) is a mod made with love, and you can feel that from the first driving experience to the small details, configurations, and the numerous parts you might not even need—but they make you feel so good knowing you have infinite possibilities when it comes to modifying this car. The backstory is well-structured and well-defined, creating a pleasant sense of familiarity.

Slightly boxier than the real-life Mk1 Golf it’s inspired by, it still retains its proportions and feels like a car you could genuinely consider buying in the 1980s in the BeamNG universe. (I’m a sucker for lore-friendly mods.)

What truly saddens me is that, according to Nekkit, he won’t be working on this mod anymore, which is understandable considering that it has received 28 updates since its launch in 2021.

-Nevertheless-

This mod could have been so much more than it is. Sure, both the Cabrio and Country variants were warmly received by everyone, but it makes me wonder—where is the 5-door hatchback and the Rabbit Pickup? (I could also mention the Citi Golf—in Brazil, this car was so beloved that its production lasted until 2009. I would have loved to see such a configuration.)

In my futile attempt to spark Nekkit’s imagination and desire to work on this mod again, I want to thank him for the countless hours I’ve spent with this mod, which has been close to my heart from day one.

Negatives:
-The inability to transport cargo boxes is something I genuinely mourn.
-The standard for 2023 mods and after requires that all doors open, which is unfortunately missing here.
-Small spikes in the inner fender areas of the rear arches—but only a crazy, obsessive, and overly meticulous mind would even notice these.
-The inability to mount temperature or turbo gauges in the lower dash, or swap them for an ashtray, is a missed opportunity—and where did the gloveboxes go?!

Overall: 4.5 stars—but because this mod is fundamentally from 2021 and Nekkit never stops evolving in modding, I’ll give it a well-deserved 5-star rating, in hopes that someday he will find the time to revive this masterpiece...

This must be part of your repository if you love lore-friendly mods and roleplay—flawless choice.

Feel free to disagree with me, I just wanted to leave my thoughts here and say thanks to @Nekkit @waboll @Car_Killer @TrackpadUser @Manche @LucasBE @_Tanco and @Braskus for this beautifull mod.

 

Its getting a successor.. do you even know that

 

No, I wasn't aware of that, thank you for the information. However, what I wrote is a review of the version we can download and play with, not a potential remake.

 

technically a predecessor

 

Yeah, but its also a successor to this mod, so sort of both in a way
