Alpha Gavril Bluebuck Gas Turbine mod 0.5.2

The first gas turbine car ever made in Beamng

  1. Bibianjou
    This mod is released as phase 1 out of 2 which includes an engine with its corresponding sounds and an adapted config. The textures and Jbeam as well as the correct engine weight are coming in phase 2

    This mod as inspired by Chrysler's initiative in gas turbines and the A831 gas turbine that powered the renowned Chrysler Turbine car

    In the mid 1950's Gavril decided to test the gas turbine technology on their existing cars and the first Burnside Specials that ran with the GXGT (Gavril Experimental Gas Turbine) and GGT (Gavril Gas Tubine) 101 found to be quite successful. So, in early 1962, a few Bluebucks were fitted with the GGT122a (120 being the engine power outage (in kW), the 2 being the generation of engine and "a" being a variant of the engine) which were the pre-production models of the GGT122b that would be made in a hundred or so examples and fitted on their first gas turbine road car in 1964 that was built as a sample test.

    On a modding perspective, this engine uses a V8 jbeam and I've tuned it so it would feel like a gas turbine engine (sounds, no engine brake, sluggishness and smoothness). I've decided to keep the modifications open so if you feel like tuning the engine, you may as well do it if you'd like.
    I warn you that this car does not have engine brake and accelerates quite slowly even if you could torque load it like Jay Leno said.

    I didn't make any config so do however you feel like since the mod isn't finished.
    Any CONSTRUCTED criticism is welcome and this is my first mod ever too.

    9 years ago the mod creator VIN666, released 1963 - Chrysler Turbine Car on Dec 27, 2013. But that was based on the Gavril Grand Marshal.

    Your 1963 - Chrysler Turbine Car is based on Gavril Bluebuck So you should change "The first Gas Turbine Car ever made in BeamNG" to "The First Gas Turbine Gavril Bluebuck ever made in BeamNG"

    I love using the Gavril Single turbine Jet in the Unusual engine pack for the Wentward/T-series ;-) It's fun smoking the tyres in the Bus and Semi that's been fitted with the Kerosene fed Turbine Jet Engine.. There's been quite a few Turbine Engine mods released over the years.. Plus creator Bernd's Hoverside *Hovercar* was an interesting mod that I think was also using a Turbine engine AFAIK?

    I enjoy using your created Gas Turbine Bluebuck.. Welldone

      First things first, the mod was not only my first mod but was also intended to be further improved and you may just take the mod and finish it if you want. I do admit changed the part's names but I didn't quite finish the mod and I never will so just continue it if you want it

    I've always been a huge fan of the concept of gas turbine cars, and this creator did a fantastic job of making such a thing! I look forward to seeing where the mod goes next.

    Hello, it's me again. I'm still really enjoying this mod, though one issue I find is that it starts to tear itself apart at 4000(0? Perhaps it would be 4000 if measuring at the output shaft) RPM.

      Yeah my mod needs fixing but i mean i don’t have anyone who’d like to model the 3D engine (well someone did tell me they’d do it but they disappeared in the darkness) and idk if this mod will actually come to it’s final stage 1.0

    At the moment the engine has absurd inertia and still revs like an old V8

    I will attach JATOs to this in order to have a JAJC (Jet Attached to a Jet-Powered Car)
