    Updating Bluebuck Content

    Springs - Linear & Progressive
    Shocks - Basic & Digressive (Need "Advanced")
    Detailed Swaybar Options - Finished
    Brakes - Experimental Performance Brakes implemented

    Need to dial in updated configs and default profiles for springs/shocks then add Advanced Damper options.

    Made an entirely new engine for the I-Series

    Is a modular type Inline-6 platform that comes in

    2600cc
    3000cc
    3600cc - Big Bore, Short Storke 'Special'

    I wrote a lot of it completely from scratch so the way it all pieces together is a little different from my other engines. Took me all-day to make it. (about 12hrs of work)

    Keep in mind I have a fully preparatory engine lua and hierarchy system. Vanilla engines aren't even remotely close to this kinda thing.

    It also has it's own exclusive Transmissions
    5speed - Manual
    6speed - Close Ratio Manual
    5speed - Automatic

    (Also supports a 5 and 6 speed racing full-manual pair of transmissions)

    I-Series is about 90% where I want it and is good enough to move on from for now to Clean up the BX

    I-Series went from some of the worst content I felt I had to something I feel proud of again, so I can personally say I beat that challenge.

    I've made an engine platform for the Sunburst that is 90% done. I plan to finish that and hold off on suspension and misc work on it as to not get hung up on it for too long.

    I plan to very soon release a snapshot of varying degrees of up-to-date content.. some of it won't be as good as others. This will be with the intention of updating bi-weekly or monthly (hopefully) with additional content for the foreseeable future with new supported vehicles or improved/revised content on pre-existing supported content.

    I also will be going over my donation platform and looking at it to make sure it's still operational. I know people likely won't donate but I'm still hopeful for the few who might be interested in doing so. As it stands no content is built with a paywall or premium concept in mind. All is currently planned to remain free to the public. I also will not be giving open permission for people to take my systems and copy from me verbatim, any use of my systems will have to be discussed directly with me as a collaborative work.

    I only say this as my engine work has been the result of 6-9 months worth of R&D on/off... mostly taking place within 6 months of 2023. With heavy design reworking in Q2/3 2024 and now here in Q1 2025. It's not the most complicated systems but it's damn near close and the attention to detail I try to create with my systems shouldn't be overlooked. Please understand I really do pour days, weeks and months into this Projekt (pun intended).

    I've been caught up making the info files for configuration files. As it's an alpha lots of this will be very unfinished and wip as plans to change things are going to be present post-release.

    Upon release the front page will contain a description of where all available content is at in terms of quality assessment.

    It'll go something like this

    Legend

    N/A - Non Applicable
    E - Arguably Terrible
    D - Not Very Good
    C - Decent
    B - Pretty Good
    A - Almost Satisfactory
    S - Satisfactory

    ETK I-Series

    Engines - (SBI6 - S), (Other Projekt Drive Inline 6 Engines - C)
    Suspension - S/Almost (Some content unfinished/missing)
    Configurations/Tunes - B (Few great configurations, few not so great, racing configuration unfinished)

    Grand Marshal / Fullsize

    Engines - Uses modular engine platform (V8 = A, V10 = B)
    Suspension - B (Needs another overhaul)
    Configurations/Tunes - C (Mostly There, Needs Suspension Overhaul, Again)

    Apologies for the Radio Silence.

    I've been going through some changes and I've just moved houses. My computer is not yet set back up.
