    Yep, that's a normal BeamNG mesh... Just scaled.
    I can make new ones later though :)
    I will also make more hubcaps, flat ones (these) and more 3D ones with a logo that is outwards.

    Do the wire wheels have spinners that are common from that era, if so what shape are they?

    You mean the "wings"?
    The current wire wheels don't have them:

    I don't think that I will include them either.

    Oh, when i'm at jaguar owner's club meetings they are referred to as spinners, i didn't know they were named differently.

    I learned that the spinners are the ones that rotate(so not fixed to the wheels) and that the wings/caps/covers/whatever are fixed to the wheel.

    Looks like holes are not round, but 8 flat sides or something like that and wheel face is then having some complications meeting that flat edge, idk. really, but I guess we will see later what will be final version.

    Ding Ding, you just won the main prize!
    A fully all-exclusive roadtrip to southeast Siberia!

    Jokes aside, this is just the steel wheel 01a or something. I moved some faces a bit but it is this ugly. So I will make a new one :).

    Since we are talking about wheels: Fun fact, the earlier TD's had closed steel wheels but those made the brakes overheat and were changed for steel wheels with ventilation holes.
    Since I saw that this was missing in BeamNG, I changed the lua of the brake thermals and added a wheelvent parameter for the wheel ventilation to the brakes(or the lack thereof..) I think I still have the files for it somewhere but it's up to the Devs to make it. My version was/is fully functional though.

    Well, as someone pointed out, there is a shitton of work to do on this mod, jbeam, meshes(can someone inject modelling skills?) Coffee, UV's and textures. Some issues are easy: like making the seat stronger or adding a new light or something. But some are harder, fixing some vibration in the front suspension for instance, or the softtop, or the overheating clutch and shaking with more powerful engines(V8's hate it). And the list goes on and on and becomes longer while testing.

    Oh, and did I mention that I do other things than modding?
    Its pretty funny: I actually have a life, have to study and I am a scouts leader so not all of my time is spent on making mods :O

    You might also consider Borrani-style steelies with (rounded) triangular ventilation holes.

    I hope it is winter trip, summers are too hot in Siberia :( :p

    All I really know is that that shape you have there in wheel is not easy, some may think such simple looking wheel is easy to make, but joining hole edges to edges that make surface that is curved to two directions, that is nightmare at least with my understanding about modeling :)

    I told you that you will be dev, now he makes new functionality to brake thermals and makes it sound like being not much different of filling cup of coffee :D

    Speaking of coffee, rear part of vehicle might be able to hold keg of coffee, kinda like 2CV extra luggage box, that might be sufficient of test drive of busy mod maker :D

    If it was ready, it would be released.

    A lot of work goes into these mods over many months, so asking questions like that is like constantly asking "Are we there yet" halfway through the drive.

    there you are right and I also have the highest respect to all modders for whatever game and I myself am too stupid to understand that and in my opinion should rather the mod or the game of me say now I'd rather come 2 months later but it also works for it. The modder should be quiet zeiut we can wait and not from such comments as me (that was stupid of me to write the comment) to be pressurized.:oops:
    And this is a very nice mod.:cool:;):):D

    Got a wake-up call today :D
    screenshot_00586.png screenshot_00584.png
    I was casually testing with @gameboy3800 to see whether my changes fixed some problems and noticed that the weight was off
    Like really off, 200kg :D

    So I fixed that for now:
    Kerb weight of the real car is 914KG according to Moss and other sources.
    screenshot_00590.png
    Left side: V8
    Right: standard config i4
    both with 60L of fuel so I have a tiny bit of headroom again :D
