Updating Bluebuck Content Springs - Linear & Progressive Shocks - Basic & Digressive (Need "Advanced") Detailed Swaybar Options - Finished Brakes - Experimental Performance Brakes implemented Need to dial in updated configs and default profiles for springs/shocks then add Advanced Damper options.
Made an entirely new engine for the I-Series Is a modular type Inline-6 platform that comes in 2600cc 3000cc 3600cc - Big Bore, Short Storke 'Special' I wrote a lot of it completely from scratch so the way it all pieces together is a little different from my other engines. Took me all-day to make it. (about 12hrs of work) Keep in mind I have a fully preparatory engine lua and hierarchy system. Vanilla engines aren't even remotely close to this kinda thing. It also has it's own exclusive Transmissions 5speed - Manual 6speed - Close Ratio Manual 5speed - Automatic (Also supports a 5 and 6 speed racing full-manual pair of transmissions)
I-Series is about 90% where I want it and is good enough to move on from for now to Clean up the BX I-Series went from some of the worst content I felt I had to something I feel proud of again, so I can personally say I beat that challenge.
I've made an engine platform for the Sunburst that is 90% done. I plan to finish that and hold off on suspension and misc work on it as to not get hung up on it for too long. I plan to very soon release a snapshot of varying degrees of up-to-date content.. some of it won't be as good as others. This will be with the intention of updating bi-weekly or monthly (hopefully) with additional content for the foreseeable future with new supported vehicles or improved/revised content on pre-existing supported content. I also will be going over my donation platform and looking at it to make sure it's still operational. I know people likely won't donate but I'm still hopeful for the few who might be interested in doing so. As it stands no content is built with a paywall or premium concept in mind. All is currently planned to remain free to the public. I also will not be giving open permission for people to take my systems and copy from me verbatim, any use of my systems will have to be discussed directly with me as a collaborative work. I only say this as my engine work has been the result of 6-9 months worth of R&D on/off... mostly taking place within 6 months of 2023. With heavy design reworking in Q2/3 2024 and now here in Q1 2025. It's not the most complicated systems but it's damn near close and the attention to detail I try to create with my systems shouldn't be overlooked. Please understand I really do pour days, weeks and months into this Projekt (pun intended).
I've been caught up making the info files for configuration files. As it's an alpha lots of this will be very unfinished and wip as plans to change things are going to be present post-release. Upon release the front page will contain a description of where all available content is at in terms of quality assessment. It'll go something like this Legend N/A - Non Applicable E - Arguably Terrible D - Not Very Good C - Decent B - Pretty Good A - Almost Satisfactory S - Satisfactory ETK I-Series Engines - (SBI6 - S), (Other Projekt Drive Inline 6 Engines - C) Suspension - S/Almost (Some content unfinished/missing) Configurations/Tunes - B (Few great configurations, few not so great, racing configuration unfinished) Grand Marshal / Fullsize Engines - Uses modular engine platform (V8 = A, V10 = B) Suspension - B (Needs another overhaul) Configurations/Tunes - C (Mostly There, Needs Suspension Overhaul, Again)
Apologies for the Radio Silence. I've been going through some changes and I've just moved houses. My computer is not yet set back up.
My computer setup is still unfinished as I am getting a new keyboard as I had to give my old one to someone who had a keyboard fail and I was planning to upgrade as it were anyhow. My current keyboard is so bad rn I can't even use it to mod without it severely hindering my abilities and efficiency so I just can't waste my time with it. I ordered the new one today so hopefully I'll get that sooner then later.
Getting a new keyboard this week but I'm also unfortunately under the weather and have some other work things this week I'll need to attend to. Gonna be a little slow getting back into the order of things. I really wanna get some content ready for full release so I can come back and make more content on a loosely consistent basis, even when I have to step away for times like this. Apologies again for my delays. I would've preferred to of had something released before all of this, and this is how all these delays have kept up everytime. Really wanna fix this type of stuff.
New Work in-progress gauges for the I-Series as I wanna replace the other gauges entirely. I feel they are not up to snuff for what I want and I only just started working on them again two days ago. No Imperial speedometer yet. Some other stuff may be added as well but I'm hoping to move on from this asset shortly. Maybe even come back to add more to it later on. I'm very pleased so far.
Probably spent ~ 30 minutes on this Imperial (MPH) gauge --- Post updated --- quickly did over the Metric Speedometer --- Post updated --- ~ Apologies as the original photo was taken with my graphics filter turned on so the colour was more bold then vanilla will present.
