    This discussion was made to update the ETK S-Series Legendary mod.
    For all the time it was corrected and added:
    -Complete elimination of bugs with textures;
    Completely new engines and transmissions;
    -Full PBR support and bug fix with clearing the cache has been done Agent_Y | BeamNG;
    -Navigator and gauges screen now work;
    -All the complete sets have been completely revised and corrected. Also many complete sets have been added;
    -Complete independence in terms of texture from etk800/k cars;
    -New brakes have been added;
    -New DSE safety system has been added;
    -New skins have been added;
    -Interior costamization was added.
    Was not eliminated:
    -Sound when spawning due to the old steering mechanism;
    -And the sound when driving over bumps due to old shock absorbers and springs.
    And there are a lot of small things that need to be cleaned up for a very long time.
    If you have black glass, then delete the 0.24/vehicles/common folder.
    Always clear your cache before installing an updated mod!

    I remember this being one of the first most anticipated ETK mods if not the first. Love it

    No, i mean, you must ask permission to post a modified version of someone's mod. So, you must ask permission to @NinetyNine! to post it here.

    The car spawns, but just the chassis and wheels show up, nothing else.. I did deep clean cache yes. And I did check for incompatible mods. Buut this, still doesn't want to work for me for some reason

    The mod does not work because you cleared the cache. I had this problem when I cleared the cache.

    The car isn't moving and has no texture. Deeply cleaned cache. Deactivated all my 250 mods, still not working.

    This mod isn't completely updated. If u are reviving a dead mod,u should take time and release to work on the current version. Updating this mod wouldn't be useful as many Lua and etc. components may not work and would be a 1year or more job to fully fix it. At the end of the day, the mod is still outdated, not fixed, just fixed some bugs to get it spawned in the game. If u want to revive it, that would be a blast in the community, people would be again crazy about it. So the best and easy solution is to let it be dead.

    The best way to actually fix it would be to redo it from scratch. Because honestly (I know I'll get some hate for saying this but I know what I'm saying) it's not a well made mod. Only the model is good, very good even, but the rest not. Jbeam straight from the ETK 800 Coupe mod (with permission, not sure if modified at all though), which means some of the slots don't make sense, uses old textures from the ETK 800 (which don't exist anymore, hence the mod broke), configs make zero sense, and just take a look at the mod's files and how much of a mess they are (texture names and what it says in materials files especially) to see that the person who made it had no idea how to make a mod.
    I wish someone could just get permission for the model and redo the mod from scratch.

    Nobody wants to waste their precious time to make it from scratch. The person who just updated this mod craped it. Its remaining reputation has gone down. Nobody didn't even ask to update it except people who asked for it on review.

    I've actually been waiting for something like this for the S Series for a really long time and it has finally happened, Can you try and fix the texture of the Carbon GTS hood because the normal S Series has a messed up texture where you look at the hood closely its like grey and from far away its black
