Hey, this is quite a good mod! I have a suggestion. Could you make something like a Ford Bronco or a Chevrolet K5 Blazer with the Gavril D-Series? Possibly a D15 with a short frame, a camper shell that isn't separated from the cab, rear seats and a bed with cloth or rubber flooring. Have a picture as a example, 1996 Ford Bronco
There's already a short frame for the D-Series in-game. A shell and an interior will be released in an upcoming update.
It's actually in the Devblog - when the D-series was remastered. It's not a config, because it's still WIP last I remembered. It's still in the parts selector though.
After playing around with the mod a bit more, I've gathered a couple of suggestions concerning a few of the mod's vehicles. I am aware that you're already set on what's going to be in the next update; these are intended to be more long-term suggestions. 1980 Moonhawk Fix the years: On every 1980 config, the years are displayed as 1976-1978. While once the only solution may have been to change the info.json file, the years are now directly editable in each configuration's own info file. All that needs to be done is to go into each .json file and change "1976-1978" to "1979-198X" (whatever year you think production ended—my estimation would be 1983). More rectangular body: The stock Moonhawk is already a bit too round for the 1970s, and shortening it and calling it a 1980 model makes it even more ill-fitting. Consider the real-life Chevy Malibu (which I realize the Moonhawk is not a direct copy of, I'm just using it as a reference). Compared to the 1977 model, the 1978 model was shorter and less powerful, like your mod, but it was also considerably boxier—particularly in the sides and roof. Make it separate: The stock Moonhawk and your 1980 version share very few parts, and considering the number of changes and amount of content (multiple body styles, for one) it's technically a different model and not just a facelift. Thus, it would make sense to separate the two vehicles in the vehicle selector like the 1994 Pessima. Change the headlights: I like the 1980's front fascia, but the headlights don't comply with headlight regulations of the era. The rule for rectangular headlights was that you could either have a single 6"x7" headlight on each side, or two 4"x6" headlights on each side. (For reference, see the Chevelle pictures above.) The 1980 Moonhawk's headlights either need to be made the same dimensions as the 1978's, or you could switch it up and go for the single headlights instead. Either way, this bugs me more than it should. (Fun fact: the Wentward has this same issue, and it pains me every time an update comes out and they haven't fixed it.) 1980's Bruckell badge from the LeGran: This would be hard to accomplish, because the LeGran's badge is actually a (considerably low-resolution) texture baked into the front fascia, but it would be a nice addition, and it would help distinguish the 1980 Moonhawk from the 1973-1978 version. LeGran trim option: This is a bit of a long shot, but I think it would be a good idea to include a luxury configuration called the LeGran—not dissimilar to the relationship between the Oldsmobile Cutlass and Cutlass Ciera. Ideally it would feature larger versions of some of the the LeGran's hubcaps (like this mod), and a landau top and some special trunk badging (like this mod, but not a skin). 1994 Pessima I love the idea, but again I really think more needs to be done than a shorter wheelbase and a different front fascia. I personally think it needs to be more like a '96 stretched to the boxier dimensions of the '88. This concept sketch by Googlefluff is, in my opinion, a great place to start: JDM 200BX Many 90's JDM cars had composite lamps by default and only replaced them with pop-ups on export models. Thus, I suggest a new fascia similar to the Twoima, but more unique and 200BX-y. That's about it for now, I'll add more suggestions if I think of them later.
As for the JDM variant of the Ibishu 200BX and 89 Pessima has the ignition at the right side while the wiper and signal stalk are inverted. I would suggest the 4-door sedan and 5-door wagon variant of the 200BX and call it 300LX or Ibishu Mashiro for JDM version. It has a same front engine, rear wheel drive platform but with the 1.8l SOHC I4, 2.2l DOHC I5, 2.0l and 2.5l DOHC I6 with the option of turbochargers. This is my drawing of the sedan version of it. You are free use this design anyway and also fix any error in detail of it
very good stuff here most of its not gonna happen in this update (1.3) but it will come about soon and i can fix the 1994 pessima stuff now: just call it a 2004. me and LJ were torn on calling it a 94 or an 04, but it honestly would make much more sense as an 04. so thats what we're gonna do.
its currently a bit shorter for the sedan and coupe, but the wagon is longer. and when i say shorter its like maybe 10 cm shorter? not much
Hmm, what is your opinion on the design of the car I made? This is based on the Ibishu 200BX but only sold in the right hand drive countries especially Japan. I called it the Ibishu Mashiro. It has 20cm longer wheelbase than the 200BX counterpart and it comes with many engine option from 2.3l non turbo diesel I4 to the 2.8l twin turbo I6
I like it a lot- but it seems a bit too- how do i put this doesnt look japanese- reminds me of a Lotus Carton lol maybe i am dumb, im not sure. I really do like it but it seems to me it would fit better as a euro car. besides, we have something much cooler coming to the 200BX chassis...
Euro car. You gave me another idea. I would add the ETK version with their engine option and make it was meant to sold in the European market. Yeah, you know where I got the inspiration for the wagon variant.
