Ok I have good news and bad news. The bad news is the sedan will come later as a separate mod due to mesh problems. The good news is the wagon is ready to go in game. I just need someone to help with the jbeam.
Looking good! Unfortunately, I won't be able to help much with the jbeam as I have no knowledge on that subject. Good luck though!
The Volvo needs a live axle in the rear though and the etki has independent rear suspension so the etki drivetrain wont work. That's only if you want it to be completely accurate though.
it's not that hard to swap out a suspension jbeam though. delete the independent mounting nodes (and theire beams/triangles) from the shell, get a suitable solid axle (grand marshal maybe? and copy its mount nodes over to the I series shell, and move them to line up with the wheelbase (if necessary).
I have been working hard on it the body is done! I will need someone to jbeam it for me though. I tried 3 times and each time it failed. I can pm the model to anyone willing to do it.
Continue on with this project finish it and start another. Don't scrap due to low poly you're on a good role. The next will be better and then the one after that! Thats how talent is started! Good progress and I look forward to seeing you progress! Cheers!
hey dude! this looks sick!!! if you need any pics or videos of my volvo 240 (wagon) i'm happy to help!
That would great! Could you try and take pictures of the lights and interior for textures. Also some exterior shots would be great. What kind of engine does yours have?
i have a 1988 volvo 240 GL auto with the B230F, it's a australian model too so i don't know if that would be a let down, i'll get some more pics tomorrow when i go and see it oh yeah! do you have a discord server that i can dump the pics and stuff for you?
I have made alot of progress since my last post. In fact it is ingame. I will need someone to do realistic engines for this mod. Just pm me and I give the details. Thank you very much!
My I am going to release a public beta soon but I am having a small model issue. I need help with a few body details. Anyone who is up for it just pm me. After that I will release a beta version for all.
I believe Dummiesman has an in-depth guide on how to jbeam. You know, if it's any use to you: https://beamng.com/threads/tutorial-dummiesmans-jbeam-guide-part-7-multidae.13152/
