Oooook there's a LOT with this mod: - Materials aren't doubled (e.g. Front bumper) - Jbeam is literally just a piccolina. I fully agree with Kueso. - The body is kinda weird - The engine shakes WAYYY too much, please, add engine mounts. - The base rear bumper doesn't have exhaust holes, so it just looks weird. - The ev model just has a gaping hole in the back - The unibody has holes for four doors, but it doesn't have four doors. - The doors have the hinges of the piccolina, so the doors open like the piccolinas, but ngl it kinda looks cool. Overall it's a good first mod but it's still deeply wip. It's a solid 7.5/10. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just flawed, and i'm not trying to insult Ronnoc8, it's just constructive criticism.
This car's safety is worse than the Tata Nano --- Post updated --- I really think that It should be a shortened Vivace and since It has four door slots there should also be a four door model.
its great to be driving this car, but i noticed a few things: EV models are weirdly bland, no front blinkers, and of course, the jbeam. other than that, it's a nice little funny car
some bugs i found. the jbeams just a meshlap the vent is see thru the texturs i the back are streatched the underneith is cursed
I don't think this mod is ready for release at this point. I understand it's a beta but I think the released should have been pushed back while some of the bugs were fixed.
It has potential, it's pretty good for your first mod. Fix all the bugs, fit better Jbeam/remake it, and then it will all good. Good job so far and good luck
Yeah he did say that it needs work and all, but this doesn't change the fact that it's way too early for release. Right now it's in a worse state than the Lada Car Pack. Don't get me wrong, the model looks really good, the progress is great and the mod is definitely going in the right direction, but the release is way too soon, unmodified Piccolina Jbeam makes it seem like a bootleg Russian mod. It's like 1/3 done or less I would say (talking about just the Prévost, there's that other one too which is probably 1/10 done). You should do a beta release when it's actually close to being finished and this looks like it will still take at least a year more. And it will definitely be stolen and put on Russian websites in this state now. And also imo you really should have based the Jbeam on the Vivace instead, having the crash safety outdated by OVER 50 YEARS definitely won't be easy to fix now, you will end up having to re-Jbeam some of it from scratch probably.
Shortened vivace with an esbr face and a VW golf 8 face. Fun to drive but the design needs to be different and not just copies of other cars slapped on existing ones
Personally I don't mind the design, however for me it just feels no where near finished. The covet drives better, the Prevost has many bugs.
I just want to say that I hope Ronnoc8 won't get discouraged by the harsh (which is mostly fair, but still) reception of Beta 1. While it really is pretty far from being finished, what's already there is done well enough. Maybe it was released too early but as long as he will continue work on it, it should get better. Don't lose motivation to develop it further just because we were so critical of the very first public version of it, everyone just wants to help. (I feel like this sounds a bit preachy but I also feel this thread could use some encouragement)
JBEAM ISSUES: To be clear, I told EVERYONE that this has a crapped Jbeam. I told everyone that the wings aren't even functional. I told everyone that it needs engine mounts. Everything else: I was aware of the awful reflections on the inside of the glass, I forgot about it before release though. I was aware that the bumper and some other parts are invisible when viewed from the wrong side. And I knew about a lot of these issues. I just don't have my entire life to dedicate to fixing this mod. I don't spend my entire life working on a stupid mod for a video game. This already took SO MUCH time to get here. It is also quite funny how the ones that have never made any mods before are the ones so quick to point fingers... This all leads me here: HELP NEEDED: I need help with the jbeam on this car. If someone could make the engine more rigid along with the exhaust. If someone could make the whole chassis more rigid and smooth out where the jbeam goes in line with the car that would be awesome. It is already pretty close to the shape of the car. It is just not at all up to crash standards of today. SOMEONE PLEASE help me out here. I don't want to take the relentless hours of wanting to stab something just to get a crash structure good on a video game car. So please, someone who already has immense knowledge, just reach out. Update: Added door handles. Made hard edge on base front bumper to continue the line of the fender. Added tubs to the front of the car. Made hole in the base rear bumper for exhaust. Removed rear door slots. Added some structure to the unibody. Added underbody cover from vivace. Made quarterpanels flow better where it connects to the rear bumper. Most bumpers now align to the new quarterpanel flow. Next up: Finish fixing rear bumpers. Make line where front fenders and bumpers connect to be smoother. Add rear interior section for EV model. Add motor for EV model. Add battery for EV model. Make it so parts from the Prevost don't appear for the Piccolina. Completely dissociate the Prevost from the Piccolina.
