Cars Ford Transit 2005 (WIP)

[cameron4win10]

I'm more excited for this Transit than I am about Assetto Corsa Competizione.
I would like to think that's odd but then again, it is a Transit.

Well the goal is to get it out at least before ACC releases (v1, not EA, gotta give myself a chance!).

Would be a total fail if - the game that got me modelling in the first place - is obsolete before I finish it!

Great work on the dashboard mate... I really think you should put a donate link on some of your mods... Was just going to send you a beer... as a down payment on a Transit
Plus us modders have to keep cool in this awesome weather

I think "obsolete" is a rather strong way of putting it. There's still loads of cars (although currently not a transit) and tracks, modders are producing better and better stuff in both departments. The game still works as it did and like GTR2 and Race07 there's no reason why it can't continue to be enjoyed for some time to come.

Haha, yeah it was a bit of an exaggeration, but I'd still loathe to see Kunos complete a whole new game in the time it took me to not finish a van

No argument from me there

That really is a beautiful thing Gary
Just needs a crusty dried pool of spilled coffee in the cupholder and we're good to go!

Still looking forward to getting my hands on this badboy, can't wait to take it to the nordschleife.

Int materials split and unwrapped, just gotta pack them together and start baking. Been a long few years I've been waiting to see this thing baked up

 

[jlnprssnr]

Like this?

 

[garyjpaterson]

First test bake done, just 1k for now, may go 2k final depending on how much space I have to play with. Few areas look a little low res but being darker plastics it may not be so noticeable.
Great to finally see something other than flat grey for once though!

 

[garyjpaterson]

Soon get this plugged in so you can record your laptimes!

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

oh, that's very important!! glad to see you're progressing with the van

 

[garyjpaterson]

Reworked the instrument cluster texture, gauges all running nicely. That mileage is the most up to date mileage (83012 miles if you can't read it) (2018 MOT, which was a fail...), so pretty new for a van really.
Still need to get them to light up next.

Maybe you can get x4fab to add diésel exhaust smoke lol

Disappointing. You sooo missed an opportunity to make the mileage 80085.

 

[garyjpaterson]

Pretty happy with that

 

[AccAkut]

Pretty happy with that

are the LCD numbers part of the texture or all inserted via digital_instruments.ini? I'd do via ini, looks better

 

[garyjpaterson]

the digits are all via digital_instruments.ini. For the radio display I will probably do that in the texture though as it has some funny characters.

 

[garyjpaterson]

Made a 'To Do' list, its not really long. Got some other projects going on but I should be able to tick them off fairly quickly when I have some time to spare

Gifs not playing ball today. Have a before and after pic of this early build (from 2015 lol) that I just found.

...and suddenly it looks real!
