Cancelled Holden Commodore VF

Oh man! This is AWESOME!! I'm an Aussie and love myself a Holden... do you have a beta? I'm happy to bug-test for you and see how it performs on a low-end computer.

Also, I've got a suggestion: stock models!

Thanks!

 

I suggested that 2 hours ago and Dummiesman said he has to rip models from Forza H2 .

 

Awesome! These types of cars go very well with Beamng and I love the touring/racing cars of that nature.

 

Totallly different engine types. I'll try to make some pretty realistic race ones though .

You really don't have an idea on what cars are in Forza 4..lol

Also it's not 'just a conversion', most of the JBeam is scratch and several hours of work has went into this.

 

Well shouldn't we look into things before opening our traps

 

I would say so.

 

Are the wheels going to be changed? It sort of looks like they have plastic rims

 

The wheel normals were off in the original pictures, which I've since fixed. I still need to change the texture transparency so it's less reflective also

Seriously, do you know how long I have been waiting for a Holden in this game?

Don't forget that the bonnet is secured to a reinforced cf/tubular frame by quick release clips that are really damn strong...

Looking absolutely awesome, Dummiesman! I am excited for this mod to come out

 

The hood 'latch' is really hard to break. I noticed those hooks and was like "oh yeah I don't need to weaken the hood latch".

Need to make the rear end a little weaker though.

Working on collision surfaces now

Being an Aussie myself and loving the VF so much I had it as my profile picture before, I'm really excited for this, ah well, just have to wait until a release is available and also have fun with the beta HadACoolName. XD

Edit:

Forgot one thing, as you might be doing the stock versions, will you do the whole range from the Evoke up to the SS-V Redline or even the HSV's?

 

Aah a bunch of car names I don't know.

I'd only really be doing the Commodore VF stock.

 

Have a look at what these names define good sir http://www.holden.com.au/cars/commodore/sedan-range

 

OMG Getting so excited, like a child on Christmas

That car looks awesome man, can't wait to try it out when it releases!

 

looking amazing, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR AN AUSSIE CAR FOR AGES. perhaps you could use these engines?

 

Its a V8 Supercar, they dont use the stock engines. They use these. http://www.v8supercars.com.au/championship/technical/vehicle-details
