Don't forget that LucasBE has other projects. You might say "But he had plans for Barstow IV! Why would he make other projects?!" Well, the answer is simple, motivation. Maybe LucasBE lost interest and motivation for this mod, and what's there to update? Does the mod work correctly? Yes. Are there any good configs here? Also yes. If you don't like something, you can make an addition to the mod yourself, or wait for other mods for Barstow IV.
1. yes i bought the mod, got a working product 2. where did he explicitly "promised" those big updates ? he had plans on adding IRS, Sidepipes and a 6 speed gearbox and plans can change
I don't know if it's just me, but I'm struggling to see why would you even bother to throw another fit just because there's no active updates or whatsoever. Maybe I'm just that simple enough to enjoy the car for what it is, or maybe, I find other things that keep me satisfied, but jesus, is it really that much big of a deal?
People are acting like it's broken and unusable because it hasn't received fixes for nonexistent bugs. What really matters is that it's still a fun, high quality mod. Use it as is or don't. Either way, there's nothing wrong with it.
I did buy it. And I got what I paid for - a high quality, fully working mod. But you got what you paid for? Promise?
The pro drift config sucks imo, I wish it could get some improvements. It's too snappy and you can't hold angle without spinning out.
See, there's the issue. You shouldn't buy mods on promises. Buy them if you like them in their current state. I can see how you'd be disappointed and even angry at LucasBE but to me this is an expectations problem. I got into the same situation with Civetta Mondello mod, I knew it was a bit rough but I expected it to be constantly updated, yet it was abandoned. Which is why I'm careful before making any purchases now. FWIW, I got this car on release because I wanted a good-quality dumb 90s muscle car and I got that, I don't feel mislead or underdelivered.
Ngl. that mindset has the same energy as those people who discontinue support for paid mods just because someone leaked them.
it wasnt just 3 people and you can find those complains all over in the chats with his mods. also he didnt scam people, you got what you paid for a working complete mod, when your expectations are to high maybe keep those in check and im still waiting for people to show me where lucas made those promises
if they dont like em then why waste the energy posting on paid mod threads instead of gee idk doing literally anything else like engage with content you agree with instead of get yourselves all riled up about this like seriously you're not going to change the authors mind, if anything you reinforce the decision to make it paid via means of "lol you guys are insufferable morons pay me to deal with your dumb asses" ... i guess foresight is rare these days
If you think about it this is worse then that, this is not fulfilling your own set expectations to customers who paid you and didn't just go steal the leaked mod which they could've done a day after it released. It's like a contractor finishing your driveway but not adding a sidewalk he said he'd throw in, saying he'll come back and add the sidewalk and then never showing up and doing it. Meanwhile you could've just got sketchy Joe down the street to do the work for a case of beer and it would've had the same results. Anyways, I'm sure this thread will die off again now and Lucas will continue to ignore this mod as he has been doing well updating mods that people didn't even pay for just to rub salt in the wound. And no, I do not care about the white knights like Borg Drone who are now going to start hating on me again for speaking facts.
Nah, I'm pretty sure people hate on you just because you kinda sound like an asshole. The constant "this doesn't have enough content" is getting really old. Sure, I want more content as well, but I'm not going to complain about it every day. And, I don't remember any more content being promised, and I would appreciate it if you could link a message or source where Lucas says that more content will be added.
