What about a sort ambulance for the pickup --- Post updated --- And also a tow truck if that is possible (Telling this as a suggestion)
An ambulance on the car chassis would be too short for people to fit in, so I would make that with the truck/heavy chassis. Because they did exist at the time. A tow truck could work, I've seen some on a car/light chassis, but I feel most of those are modern recreations, people just putting a wrecker arm on the small bed. Most two trucks back then were on the truck chassis, with heavy springs so it could carry the weight of the car you're towing. But I guess it would be fun anyway, so people can play with it until i made the truck chassis. So thanks for the suggestion. Btw seeing your profile picture, I was thinking about doing a deusenberg after this... I love the look of those
That's a bit too old for the time period i'm making. More like this: I'll make a couple of skins. Personally I like the more subtle police car design like this. Or pitch black undercover maffia busters like this:
Yeah, but i really have my doubts on the historical accuracy of those, if you can find some historical black and white pictures from the period that would be great. Because I have a feeling there are quite a bunch of people who just put in the crane themselves because it looks cool
Sure I think I got a couple photos to show: First picture can't exactly what truck it is except that is its probably a Dodge. And the sceond image has a 1933 Ford pickup as a Tow truck.
Will this have custom engine sounds, or modified Vanilla sounds? I've made something close to a flathead 4 cylinder using vanilla sounds
This is amazing, it's nice seeing more progress. I've been playing the first Mafia game a lot lately so these cars are right up my alley now. A config with bullet holes would be kinda cool if you feel like it.
The first one is indeed a dodge, but also on a heavier truck chassis like I suspected, you can see the heavy rear axle. The second one is not a Ford at all. Not sure what it is, but looks to be some six cylinder car. Bigger and heavier that a Ford pickup.
Non vedo l'ora di guidarla, sai per caso (non esattamente) quando uscirà perché è l'unica modifica non obsoleta rimasta per auto d'epoca? Ti rispetto per il lavoro che stai facendo, grazie. vorrei sapere una cosa visto che io vado a vedere ogni dettaglio per caso ci sarà una accensione a manovella, cioè intendo uno di quei rettangoli verdi (non so come chiamarli) siano sulla manovella e se lo premi la manovella si gira e l'auto si accende? grazie per avermi considerato.
Glad I checked back in on this to see some progress updates, I'm still excited for this mod. will there be any barn find/beater/rusty variants? If so I was wondering if they will have dirty windows and worn out interiors or something. That's always been my one gripe with the beamng devs and mods that have rusty worn out variants, they never have dirty windows or worn out interiors or dirty tires/rusty rims. The only ones that I've seen with them are the old fullsize and the 1963 vw bug mods. The gavril dynamo has dusty windows for the barn find config but no worn or dirty interiors and no old tires/rims which doesn't look right. Even a variant that's dirty from bootlegging alcohol down dirt roads would be cool to see. Also I love the off road variant, reminds me of this 1930 model a winter mail carrier
Okay then im jjust saying I have couple of other ideas for other configurations that should be easy to make If tou are Interested
Good point on the crank starting. I'll try to make it work. The car does have electric start as well. But it does not start with the key, but a seperate foot switch. Well I'm making the car in a period where it's not that old. So I want to make dirty and rusty skins but not 80 or 90 years of rust. More like what could happen in a year or 5 of intense use or neglect. Ideas are always welcome, it might inspire me to make more.
What I miss with BNG cars are really good dirt textures. Like in all Mafia games, it adds so much character to the car to have a detail texture, even if the car is clean (like small dimples, cracks, bumps), but then they also have several levels of dirt and even rust textures that look so good. BNG modders usually don't care and if they do, it looks kinda meh. Not sure how these textures are done "professionally", but they always look so good in games. I think it's that someone really must have a good eye to place dirt and rust in places where they logically should be, in amounts that are believable, not just slap "rust brush no. 24" at a random spot in the map.
