No stabilizer in 965 at all, people were installing custom stabilizers by themselves, because this model was very rollable. Also, very positive camber at the back wheels because of the trailing arm shape
I tried to make this model as close to the real one with real parameters I found, maybe the front suspension needs to be stiffer a bit, so I will update it in the next final time when I update the LOD
The interior has been updated, now it has two colors like a real one, door panels with handles added, new switches on a dashboard with the ignition key, and indicator lamps. New configuration with roof rack added. Gear ratio now matches with a real car
I've started making this car just to try out the LFS Editor, didn't expect it to go that far, because the app is very complicated for me, especially texturing by selecting triangles, but here we go
The car is a soviet Ukrainian ZAZ Zaporozhets 965 called by the people as Gorbatyy which means "humpbacked" because of its looks. Built as analog to Fiat 600
For now, the model needs to be finished, especially the interior. I've already remodeled some details because there were a lot of errors about a bad normal. Also, I don't know how I can update the model in the editor without redoing all the texturing stuff after modeling it in Blender, maybe it is possible to load new parts as OBJ files individually?
LFS Editor just crashed when I was setting up a new mapping based on a drag box, I selected the area with the right mouse button and clicked on NEW mapping button
the interior in this car was absolutely primitive as it is in this model, just a different texture, seats were even thinner.
Btw, these cars Oka 1111 and Daewoo Tico were small cheap taxis painted in purple at the end of the '90s in my city, and then in 2001-2 they were all gone, so it gives me some nostalgia
for some reason, I can't see the other mods in-game, single-player or multi, only 7 of them, 5 on the screenshot, and at the bottom are Hadraplan and FZ5 Safety, that's all
as I said in another thread it would be cool to create a separate category of mods, where people can just publish their own configurations of original cars with the original model, but different config (engine configs, swaps, suspension) that way you won't be downloading the same 3d model of a car, but just a config to it
I am having fun creating an AWD XFG with FXO engine, kinda like the XFG Cross version
would be cool to create a separate category of mods, where people can just publish their own configurations of original cars with the original model, but different config (engine configs, swaps, suspension) that way you won't be downloading the same 3d model of a car, but just a config to it, something like this
I think the sun needs to be more bright, on the old pictures there is more sunlight even with clouds, than new images with no clouds. I've added some brightness and contrast to the new screenshots and it is looking way better for me
