WIP Beta released Hirochi Start 3.2

Maybe a bit too cheap. Again, I like how terrible simple it looks But that's getting into Tata Nano base model territory, and buying a Hirochi that cheap would be literally like buying a mansion without interior. Looks nice on the outside, but you don't really want to get inside. You would rather spend less on a different model, a bit more equipped if you can't even afford the 1.2

Nice!

I was working on it at the same time I saw your mock-up. This is the in-game result:



The new "grille" (it's a whole new hood actually) continues the lines of the hood, but covering the grille itself. It's not perfect but my modelling skills don't go beyond this

Also, the "Start" on the instrument panel is a nice touch...but I think it's enough with the Hirochi logo. Way too much details there. After all, you get a nice Start logo on the radio cover

 

That actually looks pretty nice but I prefer a cheap grill.

 

The idea would be adding the grilleless hood to the 1.2 and the normal one to the 1.5 models. Of course by using the parts selection menu any combination can be made, so if anyone doesn't like a certain config, that person can mix everything as he wants

I'm currently saving the grilleless hood for 1.5, I would want to add something more to that update before adding it.

 

A little engine update:
Rebalancing (1.5L-90hp baseline variant, 1.5L-100hp midtrim, 1.1L I3 turbocharged -110hp top variant, plus a 1.5L turbodiesel-95hp)
Also plus a 1.3L 84hp engine and 1.0L I3 95hp turbocharged engine, but at the end it's up to the Author which variants get in the update.
A different instrument cluster would be nice, but I think it is enough for the diesel version to change the rpm gauge to 6k.
Nice cheap grill there!

 

Great!! This is an amazing selection of engines here. Very nice!

Not only I'm going to include them all (again, variety is the key) but I'll also make the diesel gauges.

With this done, 1.5 will be done!

 

Boom!

 

completely off topic.
maybe as you have done the most basic one possible, maybe you could make a really expensive one. with a gold plated body, interior and alloys?

 

Hmm...not really my taste TBH. In fact, I was planning another thing which implies even more simplicity, a rally interior.



Currently I'm not even planning on making a thread for it since I'm not sure how it will end. I would want to add a custom intrument panel, a custom switch panel (instead of that start radio cover mockup) and dials or switch where the vents used to be (they are covered but obviouslt the mapping is crazy right now) but the basics are there, no vents, climate control, lower dashboard, no glovebox...easy stuff, just deleting things. We'll see what happens with all this...

 

I don't know wether this is changeable, but the lights are HID/Xenon at the moment...

 

Good point, I actually noticed how "good" the lights are on a car like this a while ago, but it seems to be hard, so far I never found a way to do it...

Does the Start come in any other factory colours other than white?

 

the badge on the start hood disappear when turning

 

No, it could have at least 2 more, but making even more configs just for that could be a bit to excessive...the color can be changed in the car menu before spawning it or in the paint selector afterwards anyway, so I think it's better that way.

Hmm...weird. Obviously it shouldn't I'll try to see what's going on there.

 

It's now fixed!

 

What about no projector headlights? Maybe a simpler front bumper too.

 

you mean something like this?

 

JorgePinto updated Hirochi Start with a new update entry:

Hirochi Start 1.51

Exactly, and i would make the light color warmer too.

 

Well, about the lights/bumper thing...



I hope it works! 3000K lights included
