Gavril Grand Marshall Drift Missile

Wow, i thought to make a quick skin just for fun, but wherever i put it, its never visible on the car Any ideas? My last try was to put it in EVERY texure file (fullsize_c, c_alt, d, n, police, s) ant there is absolutely no change compared to stock textures. What am i doing wrong?

 

I'm not sure how skins work so I very well could have messed them up (although I don't see how)

 

I just found out that it uses the original Grand Marshall texture files, and not the ones in its folder

 

Which one has more steering angle? This mod or this -> Grand-Marshall-drift-mod? Or do they have the same amount? Thank you!

 

I dont really know, try them

And dont forget this too

I read somewhere here from gabester that if you put the factor past .18 (I think) the front suspension and steering breaks so that's what I set it to... I don't imagine the others have any more steering angle but another thing you could look at is if the others have any negative camber added to the front wheels. Mine has the stock camber which is bad because when you turn the wheels the leading tire of your drift will have a lot of positive camber and giving it negative levels that tire out giving it more grip and more mad dorifto points.

And also if you want to change the skin it doesn't work on mine because it takes them from the grand marshall (thanks thepeca) and I don't know how to fix it :s

 

You can get bigger steering angle, if you adjust the suspension components strenght accordingly.
I also found out how a model will use its own textures, and i will post it later when i get back to
my pc, cause im on mobile right now. Will edit it into this post cheers

EDIT :

You have to edit "materials.cs" in your car's folder, and have to edit the default (in this case "fullsize") folder name to your folders name with the required textures in it. Just like i did with my mod (in Notepad++) :



This way you will get the textures from the appropriate place
P.S: You have to manually edit through the whole file replacing ALL folder names, but you will see

 

Can you tell me, how do I add camber? I tried to look for it but couldn't find anything..

 

"You can use "beamPrecompression" on specific beams, like the tie rods for toe, or the upper wishbones for camber." -gabester
I know he's explained it better somewhere else but I couldn't find it in my quick search

edit: if you look through this thread there is some info too

Ahhh, graphs and codes and numbers

Haha. Anyways here's a picture of me drifting the drift missile.

 

How would I go about adding more steering to this and other cars? I've had a look in the suspension file but couldn't find any obvios ways of doing it. Really want to add some more to the 540i mod.

 

Please make a update with a manual gearbox. With ne pre-race-update it isnt possible anymore to force the up- and downshifts on a automatic transmission.

Or in other words:

I love your car. Please make it work full functionally again

thanks

 

I believe this car has been added to the Pre-Race by default? im not certain its the same as this mod but within the vehicle selector their is a selection for the "Drift Missile"

 

It is added to Pre-Race but it's just lowered, as a Tuned engine and removed bumpers.

 

the drift missle version of the marshall in the game is not the same car. moosedicks' car is much faster, more powerfull, more steering angle and a heck of a car

The only thing i need is the automatic manual also be availabel as a manual one

 

I'd fix it I guess but I haven't looked into how the new cars are set up.

Also I'd want to figure out how to get rid of the axle wrap the old one had but I don't really know how to do that either.

edit: I just downloaded it and it seems to load in game and work fine still...

what problem were you having?

- - - Updated - - -

I changed some things and did some stuff so now it's more different than before. Maybe it could be better (but maybe not)

edit! the rear suspension collapses if you try to e-brake. This is obviously not ideal for a drift car. I'll try to figure out why this happens.... later.

this is the download right here hopefully maybe but if it isn't you could probably just click the attachment lol

Download with BeamNG Mod Installer

 

My problem is, that I can't set the car to manual shifting instead of automatic (by pressing "Q")

So when I start driving the auto. gearbox, it starts to shift up very early and so it is impossible so set the car right before a corner (which I want to drift around)
I cannot rev out the third gear for example. The car shifts pretty fast into the last gear.

May u understand my problem

I think a dedicated manual transmission will do the job

It's a "problem" which occurs through the new update, because the game now forces a automatic transmission to be automatic

Quote from the Changelog:

• Removed ability to manually shift an automatic transmission as if it were a manual

Please make a decend manual transmission. I can't play without my favorite car

 

It should have a manual now, I think.

 

No it doesn't or i don't get in my mind how to set to manual.

Or did you just forgotten to add a new downloadlink? ^^

 

nah man look just a few posts up and there's a new download. In the first post the word "updated" is also a link to download it.

press q and it should go to the manual auto clutch
