Hey guys! idk how active this mod development is with fans, but I did have some stuff I wanted to bring forward, especially for the "Herbie Fully Loaded" stuff that seems to be missing from the mod. I used to be apart of a dev team for a GTA V mod that was gonna do essentially the same thing as this, but we sort of dropped the project. I do have the resources I gathered for it tho, and would LOVE to be able to share it here. I'm not good with modding or modeling, so the best I can offer are Dimensions and photos! I've got the speedo from the movie, the C2 gauges inside the car, various parts like the whale tail, even the exact speakers and sound parts used! I'll link everything below, and hopefully someone who's A LOT more talented than me can help bring this in to the mod for everyone to enjoy! (Even if the primary focus now isn't just Herbie). You guys have my full expressed permission to use the textures I made and the images provided!! (There are a lot of photos and stuff tho, fair warning) https://www.mecum.com/lots/336377/1963-volkswagen-beetle/ Misc./important info about attached photos: Steering wheel model name: Fiber Tech Model, Silver Carbon Fiber Weave and black anodized aluminum spokes. 13" x 11 1/2" D-shape, 3 1/2" dish including styling sleeve. Model 1032 Sparco shift knob has blue rubber wrap in film, not black All interior dials and engine bay actually had blue neon glow + blue underglow Side vents on the car were fake and just painted in black
I know its a lot, but it's not even everything I've found or know about. I just didn't want to absolutely demolish the thread with an insane showcase of parts XD Fingers crossed whoever's keeping this mod alive sees this and considers adding these parts
Some of these do already exists to some extend (not necessarily a pixel-perfect version). It a lot of work do all the part but, at some point this should happen, so the fully-loaded version is more what it actually should be.
Things like the already existing racing seats in game are almost a 100% copy of the sparco seats, down to the pattern of the two tone, which I think everyone would be fine with using in replacement for them!. I think the only thing the stock “Fully Loaded” version is missing is the 200mph speedo, which *might* just be a texture change and some code? I don't know much about modding, let alone beam.NG's spaghetti code, so I'm sorry if what I'm saying here is just totally incorrect or downright idiotic to say.
Hey guys, jumping back in, I did some more digging and research, and found that some of the C2 Autometer gauges I grabbed were the wrong ones, I think these are 100% the correct ones, And I can point out where they go too, for accuracy sake! From left to right side of car: Top left, Middle, Top right Left steering wheel panel: Transmission Temp, Fuel Pressure, Volts Right steering wheel Panel: Nitrous Pressure Dah Mount: Tachometer C2 10k RPM 5" Under-glovebox mount: Oil Pressure, Boost PSI I believe we could just use the already Beam-dev made pod-tachometer and give it a new texture, and same with the other dials. The only difference is that the other dials mounting back/plates need to be chrome, as shown in a previous post I made. Ofc the most difficult part is going to be custom-modeling the body parts, such as the Dove-tail style wing (which seems to just be a retro-fitted super-beetle wing), and the custom running board with intakes. Sorry to be spamming the forum, just hoping to be able to help find parts or references that could make modeling or anything easier!
I'd love to see one, but It's definitely one of the more intensive with modeling. Idk how screen accurate people or the dev would want it, but the entire inside was basically stripped and customized, custom wide fenders, interior fuel cell, roll cage, crazy tires and wheels. It's up the the developer
Hey! I ended up making a config for you (and others) to use until/if a NASCAR variant does come out. Arguably it's pretty close. Enjoy it! The Interior is stripped and pretty close, the only things REALLY missing are proper Eagle GT tires, the reinforced windows, rear deck-lid, drag wing, and wider fenders!
