Raven R21 / R20 1.3.2

Hey, great mod.

I love this thing. Its unique, cool looking and fun to drive. Personally this is one of the best feeling cars I have driven in the game. The gauge cluster is awesome too, its fun messing around with it. Only thing I would recommend is making it a bit less strong, because personal. I feel it holds up too well ion crashes.

crashes well and is overall super fun to drive. No issues either. Author was very thorough in the creation of this mod.

Honestly a blast to drive, even with an xbone controller. The turn in is amazing, the I4 is nice and quiet, not nearly as drony as the other I4s in the game. It's a perfect canyon carver, and all the tech inside with the drive modes and TSC work brilliantly. Idk what you did to the sport mode, but it is the perfect balance of letting the car slide, but not so much that you cant recover it.
My only complaints are a slight lack of content/extra parts, along with a 'meh' model/textures. Also, I would like to donate, but as I live in the states, I'm not quite sure I am able to purchase the Supporter version. If you would kindly DM me instructions on how to do all that, that would be amazing.

nice car love how it sounds and drives makes fun hope to see more configs in the future like a hartop version or a coupe. maybe a cop version too

Are our going to make a rhd version?

Has great potential, here are a few things I suggest:

1- The bumpers don't deform easily enough, especially compared to vanilla cars. This is probably part of why they tend to shove themselves in the car on crashes.
2- I think this one has already been said, but you probably also need some support beams to help keep the bumpers from shoving themselves in the car.
3- It's missing the "free" (no effort for the modder), customisation options, like universal wheels and steering wheels.
4- There are some weird reflection patches.

Handling seems fine. It under-steers on road tires but pretty much all cars do that. Would probably be easier to compare with universal wheels.

Well... Paid mods are big no-no territory, it's a slippery slope. Not much of an improvement from the Raven R60. Low quality textures (or materials? I'm not a modder) give the car a matte plastic look, deformations aren't up to todays standard. Being brutally honest it's kind of like an Automation car but with extra steps. Never really undestood why did the Raven R60 get featured, and i don't understand why this one got featured either.

It's a good mod but yeah...

I love it! I like the Dashboard and the Front Blinkers :D Would love to see them in Dynamic Version :) Keep up that work!

Really nicely done but in this day and age where everybody and their sister hates monitized content i give it a 4 star, and i know modding takes alot of time and effort, i spend 2000+ hours on my old Barstow mod and in total i spend about 4000+ hours on mod creation besides the stuff i released for beam ng over the last 3 years but sorry to say it monitization of any sorts is ruining games in general, once money rolls in the content s quality fades, just look at Bethesdas fallout 76 no meaningfull npc's nor story(if you compare it with fallout 3 or new vegas) but tons of reused content(that was in fallout 4 for free)thats now behind paywalls.But other then that great work.

I see no problem with this mod, really great engines and a fun leisure sports car c:

WOW! I seen the videos about it, and looks like, its there.

After spending some time with this car i had to make this review because overall i liked it and i see a lot of potential, but it needs some improvements (and i would love to see those improvements implemented).

The car is very fun to drive, it's faster than what you expect, and the dashboard is awesome (the best thing of the car)! BUUUT....

- Supporter Tier Content? Really? There are much better mod cars that don't have any "premium" versions (for example: ETK S series, Ibishu Kashira, Satsuma 210, etc), and those cars offer more options than this one. I would not pay for that and you will see why:

1- The car model needs an improvement. The exterior looks like it was taken from an automation car and the interior looks like it was made out of cardboard and plastic bottles. And that front looks ugly (but that's just personal taste).

2-The car parts name doesn't match with the vanilla cars. It's an small detail, but that makes this mod look like i little bit "unprofessional?".

3-The gauge cluster doesn't have metric values (or couldn't find the way to change it to metric)

4-The car understeers quite a lot (considering that this is an small RWD sports car).

5-The crashing physics needs some small improvements, like deformation and engine damage (crashing into a tree at 200kph and the engine still working)

I'm not trying to roast your car, don't take this as an bad review, but considering that you want to make a "premium" paid version of this car i had to be more harsh with it .

To have at least 4 stars this car has to be either totally free, or be better than the other cars that i mentioned, even better than vanilla cars (fortunaly Beamng doesn't have DLC cars)

the handling is amazing and the interior design is very great. the shape of the car itself is goof, but the front seems a bit too busy. the rear also looks more like a late 90s early 2000s car. probably needs just some tweaks and it would look awesome too! the version are great i would include a non turbo i4 version (160 hp like the mx-5) it would make a great base.

but great work so far, it is just a blast to drive on twisty roads!

Drives and handles really well, but everything else (design, textures, deformation) needs work. I would start by rethinking the front fascia.

Ok, great mod. I'll give you that 5th star because you did a great job on the mod and it's your choice how you structure things regarding it. Having said that, I would like to say that the exclusion of the rally version was a bit surprising, and although I can see you wanting quite a bit of incentive for folks to pay, cutting out an entire racing class seems a bit strange. It limits the mod to only to 'subjects': regular street-driving and straight up track-day racing. Still, it's your choice, good job on the mod.

its a nice mod but in my opinion the outer quality isnt quite where i like it, if the car looked better than an automation car on the outside, i may have gotten the supporter pack

Car model is average, not very well made, but the digital dashboard is awesome.

(I can understand a payable version for a good quality/dev quality mod, but for this.. if you pay 3$ for this car, the ETK-S series mod may cost 25$ at least.)
And we haven't any guarantees of you to kept the mod updated, what will happen when the mod being outdated?

On beamng, we have many FREE dev quality mods made by some very good modders like Ninetynine, Blijo, CrashHard and Bernd for example, and none of their mods are payable.
If you want sell your mods, you must be much much better at modding, your actual mods aren't enough well made to be sell.

Love the car, love the way it drives. Easy drifter and it feels lighter than it really is. Something about the exterior textures are a bit off to me. It almost looks like it's made out of plastic. Really a nitpick, though. Lack of wheels is a bit of a downer, but again, another nitpick.

I'm not going to harp on the paywall. I'm sure you have your reasons, but it's not how you make friends. Granted, I don't think I could care any less because the base mod itself is more than fun enough for me! Excellent job.
