I have finally made a thread in the BeamNG discord for this mod https://discord.com/channels/710082165253079061/1236733413042552902
Next update is currently being worked on, making the engine compatible with the vanilla engine (this also goes for mods that add engines to the vanilla pessima) this also means that turbos will return (cause I forgot to carry those over) I am also overhauling the lighting (adding more bloom and fixing positioning of pointlight props, aswell as adding flares), and adding EU plates
I really like this mod, though I do have a few suggestions. Firstly, maybe a slightly bigger rims, like maybe 16-inch standard on mid-higher trims or even 17-inch on top trim since 15 looks bit silly imho. Speaking of trims, could perhaps add something new, maybe a limited edition or something (maybe ask Kueso/LJ about having some KLJP lore borrowing?), don't think it necessarily needs to mirror the pre-refresh trims100% since in real life trims get added and dropped even in small facelifts. Oh, and maybe make the grille bit less flat and more curving to the hood since rn it kinda bulges out a bit giving a pig-nosey feel. But otherwise really neat mod, a unique but nice take. If you need help on some stuff I'd be down (no promises on my capabilities though, not really a pro-modder)
you could select an option for it just to be a plate, like on the unibody behind where the bumper would be, at least that's what I think he means
yummy --- Post updated --- no reason for this to be a thing but i think it would be cool a smaller 2 seater version
Not sure yet, currently still in the planning phase. All I know is that I plan to introduce a simple integrated navigation screen
--- Post updated --- maybe also flatten everything out? get rid of the curves make It more flat? cars in that era did that --- Post updated --- and maybe make it look cheaper?
It wasn't a name suggestion, the Fiat 600 had a Multipla version, and he's suggesting you make a Multipla-style body for the Piccolina.
Ok, so I may have taken my "looks like a Ford Taurus" idea a little too far. Spent an hour or so last night messing around with the grille (added the chrome center bar) and also combined some parts from the "EUDM Pessima MK2" mod to make some accurate-ish Gen-IV Taurus and Mercury Sable configs. Absolutely loving this mod. I personally hope you don't stray too much from this front end styling, because its currently the closest thing to a Gen-4 (my personal car) we have in beam right now.
Your making me want to make a lore friendly taurus now haha I love that gen of taurus, my grandma used to own one years ago
Haha, I mean, I'm all for it Despite all the hate they get (mainly for weak transmissions and rust) theyre surprisingly decent and comfy cars. My grandma bought one brand new in 2001 (was a 2000 leftover dealer demo car) My mom had 2 of them (an 05 SEL and 06 SE) and I currently have a 2007 exactly like the green one in my config pic. Picked it up right before used car prices skyrocketed and its been a solid daily ever since.
