    Welcome to the forum discussion about the work in progress 2001-06 Cadillac Escalade ESV mod for BeamNG.drive!​

    DOWNLOAD HERE!!


    The 2001-06 Cadillac Escalade ESV is a full-size luxury SUV produced by Cadillac, which was originally introduced in 1998. This mod aims to bring the Escalade ESV to BeamNG.drive with acceptable-quality modeling, accurate physics, and custom features.

    The mod is still a work in progress, but the current version includes several features such as:

    • Detailed exterior and somewhat acceptable interior modeling, including custom textures and materials
    • Realistic physics, including engine performance, suspension, and handling
    • Customizable parts, such as wheels, tires, and paint colors
    • Working lights, including headlights, taillights, and turn signals
    So far, I'm working on adding new features to this mod such as:

    • Custom sounds, including engine sounds and other vehicle noises
    • Improved J-Beam, with realistic deformation and breakable parts, and just better quality.
    • More customization, to make this mod just more than one single configuration, so this mod wont be as boring as you think.
    Plans:

    I have plans to expand the mod by adding aftermarket parts from NFSU2, so that players can customize the Escalade ESV to their liking. Additionally, I will be adding skin support to allow players to create custom paint jobs for the vehicle if they wish. Then, I possibly wish to add the regular Escalade, And maybe, just maybe, the Escalade EXT. Lastly, I am also planning to improve the interior, with higher quality modeling and more interactive features, to make it more immersive and enjoyable for players.

    Disclaimer(s):

    The interior of the mod is low poly, meaning it has a lower level of detail than desired. However, I acknowledge this and I'm somewhat working on improving it.

    And, there are currently some minor bugs in the mod, such as Jbeam issues. These issues may cause some parts of the vehicle to behave unexpectedly or not function properly. However, I am aware of these bugs and I am actively working to fix them in future updates.

    The mod is being developed by myself, which I am attempting to create somewhat acceptable and at the same time enjoyable mods for the BeamNG.drive community. I'm open to feedback and suggestions from the community, and I am committed to making this mod as realistic and enjoyable as possible.

    Anyways, Enough talk. Pictures. These are subject to change sooner or later.

    The EXT

    A sort of Demo Derby/Banger Racing version? (not complete as I want to add more stuff to the config)

    upload_2023-5-28_3-16-8.png

    Tried my best on the Derby config, Tried to make it look like it came out of Wreckfest, Added the blanking plates for both tail and headlights, (I think thats what they're called.) Window panels, A derby roll cage, etc.

    A few Racing configs

    Credits:

    GTA V; JdmImport: 2002 Cadillac Escalade ESV
    GTA IV; JdmImport: 2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT
    Beamng Devs: Roamer base, Pickup Body.
    Me, Meow: J-Beam editing, Glowmaps, Texturing, Adjusting, Configurations
    My super supportive server: Somewhat beta testing to find any major bugs that I'm too blind to find.
    ACMP Discord: Racing steel seats, and some accessories
    InnocentJoker: Guiding/Helping me through some stuff that I didn't understand while making this.

    FAQ:

    Will there be the base Escalade?

    Unfortunately for now no. As i cant source a good base.

    Will you include some NFSU2 Tuning parts?

    Yes, but they take some time to fit in the model, so it would take a while to do so.

    Openable?

    For now no. I would have to redo the entire Jbeam and I'm not looking forward to that, But the bed in the EXT has it if it counts.

    So, if you are a fan of luxury SUVs or just want to experience the thrill of driving a powerful and stylish vehicle in BeamNG.drive, keep an eye on this mod!

    Awesome!
    We finally get the official car of movie bad guys (from the early 2000s)! It just looks mean, can't wait to get chased by a group of them!

    This is cool.

    I don't know if you could do the 2007-2014 and 2015-2020 and 2021-TBD ones after this generation and even the EXT versions as well.

    The author isn't even done with this one, and you're already hitting them with like 5 other models from completely different years! At least wait until close to end of this mods making, or for it to be done before recommending all of the other years.

    Edit - Just realized that some of those are from Driver SF (used to love that game!)

    Thanks for your interest in the mod, and I'm happy to let you know that there will most likely be a Presidential/Secret Service version of the mod in the near future. I'll go ahead and start sourcing the necessary models and assets sometime soon, and I'll be excited to work on this new addition for the mod!

    Thank you again for your interest in the mod, and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or suggestions.

    Oh OK.

    Then I guess I will wait for this mod to be released and maybe the creator will think about it.
