    Don't be shy, leave your bugreports or suggestions down below!
    Please don't suggest other vehicles to be converted to hover, I'll convert more, but I've already choosen the victims ;).
    To anyone who wants to convert a vehicle to a hovercar by themself, I'll make a complete tutorial soon.


    Original post:

    Leave your design suggestions down below, everything is possible! :D

    Currently existing suggestions:
    • wheel-covering parts having vents(@Acrain7)
    • flieght gauges (@Acrain7)
    • taxi/police skins etc.(@Djplopper)
    • glassbubble roof (@tommy1995 [GER])
    • enginebay: a turbine in a shell, with a bunch of pipes going to it + "Danger! Don't touch while running!" on it (@Arne Hurnik), possible names for that:
      • twin turbine electron magnetize 5000(@Acrain7)
      • Binford 6100(@tommy1995 [GER])
      • ETECKE-597 or HiTECKE-597 (ETK/HirochiTurbine ElectricityConverter forKineticEnergy)(look, sounds like hightech! @Arne Hurnik, master of creativity)
    • hover generators in the wheel wells (@James Smith) + explosition at hard crashes
    • adjustable rideheight(@Car crusher)
    • Steam coming out of vents (@Car crusher)
    • Glowing parts in the "engine"
    • Leave your idea down below!

    Uhh, a staff member on my thread, no I feel honored ^.^.
    It's magic. :p
    The car get's in the air via thrusters and is kept on the ground by four 100kg nodes lying on the ground which are connected to the frame by four longer, free moving and pretty weak beams; so it's technically a ballon connected to a weight via a rope.
    That way the cars height is locked but it's still hovering and moving with the characteristics seen in the movies.

    Sorry, just four nodes and beams, no lua magic (which you were probably looking for):rolleyes:.

    The first hover car! I can't wait to see it. Could you do it for all the cars in the game? You don't need to, I was just wondering if you would.

    Probably not for all cars, but definitely for a few like the pigeon, bigrig or bolide. :)
