Finally

Let's have a try

 

Nice!

 

Well, I took my sweet time testing it and crashing it

The doors, hood and trunk openings might need a bit of fine tuning but nothing bad

Otherwise, if you're looking for a '80s full size luxury car for peaceful crusing, you are at the right place. This mod does the job plenty

 

Thanks for this

 

Yesss! Big ol' yacht for Beam! Thanks!

 

Lovely mod, This vs the caddy Well made as well

 

Very well made, especially the JBeam work, haven't had a single spiking issue in a crash.

The only thing that irks me about this mod...and this is really just me nitpicking...but the branding seems a little off. With the Emperor based on Cadillacs of it's era, I feel like it could have worked better as a Soliad. Especially if you park it next to a pre-facelift Wendover, they look like they could have shared the same showroom floor.

But that doesn't detract from the mod, I still give it an A+.

 

it's tinyyyy

 

This is excellent, I'd like to see that 1957 Bel Air looking car from GTA 5 ingame.

 

very nice adaptation of Albany Emperor, i loved it.

a small problem here, blinker stalk turns to wrong direction, when i give a left signal, stalk goes upward [it was supposed to go downward for left and upward for right]

 

An Cadillac oh wait no An Burnside

 

hell yes, albany emperor

 

Going to update the traffic configs and some bug fixes soon!

 

I think there should be a base model with a six-cylinder engine, since this is really a mid-size rather than full-size car and the real life Cadillac Seville reintroduced non-V8 engines to the luxury sector in this era response to fuel shortages. This should be easy to add as there are already period correct Gavril Group inline-sixes in the D-series. Also, it would be more realistic for the cars to use the early intakes at least in the first part of the production run, i.e. the ones that give the small block V8 175 instead of 195hp, as this was still the Malaise era.

 

Guys, I have made it as a modder, a Russian site stole it! No hate to them, it honestly feels good lol

 

Welcome to the club

 

I dont know why
but my tail lights arent in the right spot?

 

What do you mean?

 

unless im mistaken
the reflectors are acting as brake lights and not the tail lights
