    Hi there
    It looks really nice, well done! Making interiors is such a hassle in Automation sometimes. And the plastic trim placement is great.
    Very soft suspension, it fits the car. I like it!

    What I have noticed:
    -The speedo underreads by about 10 %
    -I'm losing the entire engine bay when I crash haha
    -I'd say the default paint might a little too shiny, but well, it's called the Safir, so I guess that makes sense

    One question too, if you don't mind:

    I've tried to used the same gauges many times (especially the 130kph one too because I like making shitboxes), but they always end up clipping with the background, whatever I do, no matter what the spacing is. Is that something you experienced, and would you have any tips/suggestions?

    Thanks and good luck if you keep working on it :)

      Hi!

      Thank you so much for the detailed review and the 5 stars! ❤️ I'm really glad you like the interior, plastic trim placement, and especially the soft suspension — I wanted the Safir to have that comfortable old-school sedan feel, so I'm happy that came across!

      About the speedometer underreading by around 10%: that's actually something I've noticed as well. The way I had to deform and scale the gauges to properly fit them into the Safir's cluster forces the needle to sit at a slight offset, which unfortunately affects the accuracy. I'll definitely try my best to find a better way to handle this in future updates.

      As for the engine bay disappearing when crashing... yeah, the Safir definitely isn't winning any crash-test awards right now. I'll have to look into that one!

      And about the paint — that's fair! I might tone down the default paint slightly in a future update. The Safir is supposed to have that shiny old-school paint, but maybe I went a little too far with it.

      For your gauge clipping issue, I actually have a little trick that might help:

      First, place the gauge itself exactly where you want it and get the orientation/position perfect. Once you're happy with it, use the “Copy Fixture in Place” button (or Shift + drag) to duplicate the gauge. Then change the duplicated fixture to the needle.

      This makes sure the needle starts with the exact same position and orientation as the gauge, which should prevent it from clipping through the background. Some gauge mods, including the one I'm using for the Safir, already have the needles positioned in the same place as the gauge, so duplicating it in place works especially well.

      Hopefully that helps with your shitboxes!

      Thanks again for taking the time to write such a detailed review and for the kind words. Feedback like this is genuinely helpful, and I'll definitely keep these points in mind for future Safir updates! ❤️

      Thank you so much! 90 km/h with a camper is exactly the kind of Safir abuse I didn't know I needed to hear about.

      Really appreciate the 5 stars and the support! ❤️ More updates are already in the works, with even more details and improvements coming to the Safir.

    Congratulations on creating an Automation mod—I’m rooting for you! I’ve created a few Automation mods myself, and I ended up releasing dozens of updates as I kept testing and refining the details on my own. Congratulations on your first mod, and best of luck!

      Thank you so much! It really means a lot coming from someone who has experience making Automation mods. I’m already learning a ton from testing and refining this one, and I’m hoping to keep improving it with future updates. I really appreciate the support and encouragement!

      Thank you so much! Honestly, comments like this make all the time spent on the little details worth it. I’m really glad you enjoyed the Safir’s goofy pillow-soft suspension and open diff
      (as I promised more work is coming to the Safir in V0.5)
