    no, he asked General motors if he could use the Oldsmobile brand logo and name. Well at least he said he did

    I've only asked, i've got a first kind answer but not an autorisation yet. That's why the Oldsmobile is an Addon and not just a complete mod in the repository.
    I will see if i go on with this autorisation stuff since the mod is free and the addon in the forum works just fine.

    MOD MAINTAINANCE

    i had to delete the forum attachment of the addon to upload the new one that will be released just after the Codename Oldsfullsize will be updated too, to avoid confusion with same name files.

    Sorry for the disorder, download link will be available again in a few hours.

    Also, this is just a small update called V1.1 so just little bux fixes and things forgotten at the first release.

    "Maintainance ON" will be removed from the title as soon as all will be in order.

    I think they were a lot produced and easy to find in the USA. Here in France they were almost all availble in Diesel fuel only. They are some gasoline Regency but the Delta 88 i've never seen in gasoline.

    SergentFido updated Codename : oldsfullsize with a new update entry:

    Small Update

    Read the rest of this update entry...
    --- Post updated ---
    V1.1 Oldsmobile Addon Changelog:

    - 24 october 2016 :
    Small update

    upgrades and fixes :

    The rear flat panel behind the rear seat wasn't deforming with the rest of the car, so it's fixed :



    The license plate design slot was missing in the main.jbeam :



    for some reason, the belly seatbelt i did for all the drivers wasn't present in the first release (some mistake i did) . So now if you spawn the crash test dummies, they do have a seatbelt. It works the same way as the race one, change is only visual so dummy is pretty well attached. In the V2.0 release the seatbelt will be a full one, attached to the B-pillar.



    upgraded sounds !

    - removed the overdistorded revving sound and replaced it by a softer one, even for the street legal engines.
    - tweaked and lowered the sound of every engine.
    - new idle sound and setting for the V8 350, idle sound provided by Snaapop.
    - added new sound for the Delta 88 Sedan beater, with a knocking idle sound.




    Fixed some material.cs files with a wrong useAnisotropic[0] = "0"; instead of being ="1"

    Hey folks, i celebrate this little update before the bigger ones arrives sometimes, by adding a paypal donation link (the button is not working, only the link below)



    donate-button2.jpg

    DONATE HERE


    If you want to show me how much you like my mods, don't hesitate to donate a few bucks.

    While donating could reward the mod i spent so many hours on, it could be used for usefull things like helping rebuilding the engine of my Delta 88 Diesel.

    Here is an actual photo of the car, in its barn since two years now. Under the dust it's nice and safe, but the engine is used and that's why i stored it by a friend barn.

    sergent_fido_oldsmobile_delta88.jpg

    So the engine rebuild that would be made by a V8 Diesel specialist near the town of Lyon (France) could have a top cost of 5000 bucks or more.

    So let's do the following donation progress bar, i give the first 20 bucks :

    Sergenfido's Olds engine rebuild project : 130/3000 donated.

    i'll edit the progress each time i'll get some donations, in the first post.
    - If they reach quickly 2000 bucks the rebuilt process will be engaged by delivering the car to the garage that is quite far from my house :cool:
    I'll complete what is missing for the engine repair, but for now the complete amount with the transport charge is too much for me. And of course i'll do a thread about the car transport and the photos of the engine repair.

    - if i see that in 2 monthes i got only 50 bucks, i'll buy me a nice Diecast model for christmas ;). If i get 5 dollars i'll buy me a Doner Kebab :p

    I can write the name of the famous donators, unless they want to keep unknown.

    Well, just think about it, and have fun with the little update.


    EDIT> wow, first 50$ donation, thank so much i don't even know what to say, it's awesome ! :D

    Donations edit> (20initial)+50+30+30 = 130$ donated already

    It works. The highway patrol spawns with a custom plate that is not related to license plate skins.

    You first need to select the simple "Rear License Plate" part in the center rear panel :



    Then you'll get the regular one with no skins or with the skin of the map (this is gridmap mod 4.2.2, it has no license plate design)



    and from there you'll have the choice of all the license plate design possible.

    You can play with the Delta 88 beater or the Regency sedan full rust car for the same purpose.
    it's a lot of work to reproduce the same car properly, i don't know if it's worth the work.
    Plus the car is a 1984 Delta 88, lots of differences in the interior to be the same.

    Too late i got 50$ already from one unique kind person :), look at the progress bar of the Olds engine rebuild !

    Squared plates used to be for vans and offroaders with rear-mounted spare tire in Italy. Numbering started from the bottom (Z up instead of A down for cars).

    Captive imports from those countries using squared plates (such as the US or Japan) could only be registered as Z plates in order not to swap the license plate holder with a Euro-spec one. You still see plenty of Z plate Land Rover Discoveries and captive imports such as the RHD Eunos Roadster here, despite the MX-5 being officially available here as well.

    It was probably the same in France.
