Released 2020 Land Rover Defender (Update 27/12 - Hotfix)

Can you add air ride suspension in the future?

 

I have tried to do so, I got all the controls and air ride heights to work, but the suspension breaks very easily and does weird stuff, I tried to find the root of this problem but couldn't find a solution to fix it, after a while I just gave up on this concept. Maybe someone better than me is willing to do it but that's not going to happen soon. Below is an video of how it works

 

Bro, pls slow down and take your time! You don't have to rush things!

 

I might try it when I have time, thank you

 

Modders can do what they want, and if the updates deliver quality that doesn't seem rushed, then I don't see a problem

 

Thank you, that's exactly my goal here, the main issue is, most problems I spot are never in the same session, so that's why I keep that pace, because once I see it, I want to fix it ASAP so they don't pile up.

Of course, if this was a repo mod I would take my time since submitting all these updates would upset the mods in the first place, but since nothing contains me here, I prefer that route. I also understand the pace might make more than one person's head spin crazy, but since luckily most updates are minor stuff, most people are good to go with any version they might have as long as it's not too old, having the very first release at this point would be a waste as well...

In fact...update time as well



A couple of changes to the front this time:

• Fixed textures of the front impact bar (was black with the rivets showing No Texture)
• Added normal maps to the front grills (and everything that has metal, somehow I forgot about this)
• Deleted a duplicated mesh shared by the grill and the bumper, which caused Z-fighting specially seen when torn from the car

Something that annoys me is how deformed the circular holes look right now, since they don't quite fit the UV mapping of the mesh, hopefully I can get to fix that soon.

 

Are you gonna be able to fix the spikey crashing soon? U only really see it at 40mph and above

one question not a suggestion but are you going to make locking front diff as well like in the real defender?

 

That should be easy to do, I might try it now

Though after researching I don't think there is a front differential lock for stock defenders, so I won't add them for now

 

Think the front diff is an e-diff, similar to the how the esc makes it work in the tograc off road mode

 

Yes car journalists said the diff lock is electronically controlled, so no manual locking is needed.

 

Nice Work!!!

 

It's just like my cousin's model! Great work!!

 

I also have defender scale model but in short version

 

Rims become dull if the car is painted black.

 

Ohh

 

hi i want to say you land rover is the best car mod i ever seen but there a problem you need to fix the adaptive lifted Suspension
and to everything

 

Thank you!

Small update added:

• Front bumper holes look better (less deformed)
• Fixed configs (Configurations that are not DefenderX models but with "DefenderX" badges, added "Dynamic" mode to higher trims) with new thumbnails

 

I don't know if you've answered this elsewhere.
but do you intend to make another vehicle after you finish this one?
