Gavril H15 Vanster

I don't see why it wouldnt. All the other liveries work on both bodies, same for the wigeon. They couldve updated it if that was the case though, like they did for the other ones

 

Really? Does it work when applied to the Pigeon Plus?

 

No. It doesn't display properly because it wasnt updated. But it doesnt display properly on the 3-wheeler either. The body shape is slightly different

 

View attachment 858215 does work.

 

It's slightly misaligned, the original had the flames in a position that gave it kind of "angry eyes". But if you actually port it to the new version and apply it in game it has material issues/corruptions (unless i did something wrong)

 

Gavril H Series new facia recap.

This one is most likely gonna be used for passenger variants.


Now we know that this is going to be used on the facelift passenger variants.



And this one is going to be used on the facelift utility (vanster and cabster) variants.


So it looks like the remaster includes new passenger van (gonna say Buster) variants, facelift vanster variants, a new custom van variant, and plenty more stuff that we don't know about.

 

I kind of disagree. The first fascia looks like a high end version of the fascia we have now, judging by how square it is. The second and third are probably the late ones, being the upper one the high end version (probably more fitting to the "Buster", but not necessarily exclusive to it) while the lower one, is more utilitarian, being fitting for the Vanster and Cabster, as well as a lower end "Buster".

So, any fascia can be used on any variant, but the high end ones would, probably, be more common on the passenger variants.

 

I'd been looking at the new Vanbus teaser for quite some time, with an odd feeling that something wasn't quite right. I think I finally put my finger on exactly what's unnatural about it:



It's the headlights. Note how they appear to each be a single-piece full-width light, with a single bulb in each. They're strangely elongated. The closest thing I can find on a real vehicle is the 1996-2002 Chevy Express, which had a single-piece lens in front of two separate buckets for both the actual headlights (top) and the running lights (bottom).

I think, but am not certain, that the outer top headlight is the regular headlight, and the inner light is for the brights. Can anyone with a first-gen Express or GMT 400/480 series GM truck confirm that's the arrangement?

I'm honestly not certain if the lighting arrangement as depicted on the teased Vanbus could actually function in real life, at least using lighting technology from that era. Lights of that type always seemed to be limited to certain proportions, almost a 2:3 or 3:4 rectangle. Is that for functional reasons relating to the reflector behind the bulb? I'd almost imagine that a single light in the center wouldn't produce enough light to properly project from the entire assembly, hence the need for GM to come up with their twin-light solution.

It could also be a standardization thing relating to interchangeability. I did find a publicly-viewable legal regulation document from the Society of Auto Engineers dated 1985 that laid out dimensions for rectangular automotive lights (page 12 onwards). I'm not certain if these dimensions were purely for the interchangeability reasons noted in the charts, or if there was also some technical considerations, but it does provide a neat benchmark for what was typical at the time.

It's a bit odd to see strange lights like these on a BeamNG vehicle - I remember Alexandr paying special attention to the Vivace's headlight design and assessing its feasibility during its development before passing it on to @Diamondback for implementation.


(special thanks to @CaptainZoll for supplying the Chevy Van image. His prediction for a new fascia turned out to be pretty close to the mark!)

 

I'd say they're just making it consistent to the unrealistic lighting layout of the original D-series fascia.
After all, Repetition legitimises.

 

Didn't Gabester talk about how the headlights on the OG D15 was a dev oversight or something?

 

Used to own a '97 Express conversion van. I can confirm that the inner part of the top headlight is for the brights and the outer is for the low beams. The lower headlight is just a marker light and turn signal. This also applies to all other GMT400 trucks.

 

Can anyone show me a screenshot of the current H series variants in the selector? Currently AFK.

 

Does someone know if you can open the side cargo doors?

 

You mean open like back doors? No, you can't.

 

I just thought of two variants that could be added to the H-Series lineup.
The first one is a caravan based on the H45 chassis and the second one is an Unmarked, blacked-out Police Van based on the H35 chassis (like that blacked-out Roamer police variant)!
The H15 Transport Van (and the H25 Vanster Police Package) is really nice but it's a bit mild for police chases. If anything, police chases are not what this variant is about!
Also, Concealed Police Flashers could be designed for the Front Bumpers/the Front Grilles/the Windshield and the glass panes of the Rear Doors of the H-Series!

 

vantastic config spawns with a WAAAAAY underpowered engine. performance tab says it should have around 256ps of power, but has only 152 due to it spawning with the i6, with carburetor.
not sure if there are other configs that have messed up like this.

 

Just want to throw this out there: I am so impressed with the remaster of the Vanster.

 

I noticed that some Passenger versions of the H-Series don't feature the Roof Liner. I'll be writing the Passenger variants down and writing the mistakes in bold and italicized script (plus, there's a version having its name wrongly written, so that name will be bold and italicized too - mind you: the version with the wrongly written name already has the Roof Liner installed, now it only needs its name corrected).
