Bruckell LeGran

No. I love it.

 

Come on, guys. Grow up.

 

Bruh :

 

One of the Cutlass Cieras had a 4.3L V6 Diesel. Can someone get on a mod for that? Or is one made already?

 

Small bump here
Look how similar the LeGran and the Pontiac 6000 is

and

 

The LeGran is already established to be based off of the 80s GM FWD A-Body cars, such as the Buick Century, Chevy Celebrity, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and yes, the Pontiac 6000.

 

@gabester Will there be any EU bumpers for this in the future?

 

probably not as this type of car wasn't sold in europe

 

This car has the same body style as the 1988 Grand Am sedan and Cutlass Calais Sedan and Buick Somerset. with the front end from a Buick sommerset

 

Yup, we know, it’s been brought up many times and is in the wiki.

 

I heard that in the 0.17 update the LeGran received some body tweaks (like other cars in the 0.16 update). Could anyone tell me what exactly was tweaked, or did anyone make a GIF of the before and after like the devs made for 0.16?

I'm talking about something like this:

 

Yea, the devs need to make a gif of the old and new LeGran and Grand Marshall

 

Alright, I got tired of waiting for someone to make it, so I did it myself: Here's a comparison GIF between the 0.16 and 0.17 LeGran. I did my best to make it as much like the dev GIFs as possible (though I accidentally made the graphics settings inconsistent, as evident by the trees in the background).

And as for the Grand Marshal, I wasn't able to find any visual differences, so I didn't make a GIF of it.

 

So pulled the roof down a little and gave it the usual rounder sides. Seems to ride a little lower in the back, higher in the front, but oddly enough the seats don't move.

 

how do u get the skin sample

Make a copy and put it somewhere else, then you can edit it.

search 'UV' in the search bar, a .png should appear for you to copy to your desktop, etc etc.

 

I feel like the torque converter lockup tuning on this car is a little off. On the four speed automatic it feels like it locks up in 3rd and 4th too quickly, and during the change from 3rd to 4th gear or vice versa the RPMs shoot up like it's slipping into neutral. I also noticed that they un-centered the airbag steering wheel quite a bit during the last update, but that may have been intentional.

 

I've been experiencing that with locking torque converters for quite a long time now, the torque converter instantly locking on third and fourth, regardless of how much load the vehicle may be under, while accelerating.
The aggression value stays pretty low throughout most of the throttle's range until around 80 percent when the shift points start moving up for pretty much all automatic transmissions on older cars that have their aggression value purely determined by throttle position.
As for the rpms shooting up while shifting? I think that may be the torque converter unlocking for just that second to shift, then relocks in that new gear.
