As someone who tried to fix this mod, I can say that this is f***ing hard. This mod is incredibly ancient JBEAM wise. On my part, I updated all the engines, transmissions and differentials, also added the ETK 800 DSE, and the air suspension from a ETK 800 mod. Anyway it was still FAR from perfect (is still did the "crashing" sound on spawn, and some other little problems). After 0.23 ruined its textures, I simply deleted everything.
This cannot be fixed bcs it's still living in 2018 and if u fix it is still not updated. To fix it, u have to literally put ur whole time making jbeam, creating Html for gauges and editing Lua, which isn't practically possible. I too tried to edit its jbeam and I almost fixed it but after 0.23 engine sound was gone, the car doesn't want to move and a texture problem arose.
No, as for me, this is not an update, it's not even a fix, if you took up fixing the mod, you need to do it until the end. I tried to fix this mod and started with "PBR" but so far there is not enough time, so I did not finish. Excuse me what? you asked for permission, he didn't answer you, and you think that this is a permission? I asked the author for permission, a year has passed, and he has not answered.
Everybody who replied here knows that it is not completed, it is simply released with some minor bug fixes. This mod is rusted out or I can say rotten mod as it cannot be fixed again. Its components are not executable in the current version. If anyone is thinking of fixing it, do it from scratch that would be good or even better. And speaking of permission, @NinetyNine! isn't going to reply to any permission as he is a dev so it would be almost impossible to ask for his permission. The best is to do it without permission, omit out those "HAVEN" T U TAKEN PERMISSION FOR THIS" people bcs those people are head gasket problem in an engine. At last, I can't wait for this mod to come back.
No one will waste time on rework the mod. Well, I got permission to fix the "Hirochi Sunburst Expansion Pack" from @NinetyNine!
For the rework, no one even wants to waste their fuckin time so. And about permission, I think he doesn't want to update or see an update.
Actually this can be fixed. It just requires A LOT of time for the engines, differentials, transmissions, for the JBEAM part. Also all the textures need to be redone. At least the body jbeam is somewhat decent and it crashes fine.
It can be fixed, that is true, but as many other's have said it would take more effort and time, as well as be more tedious to fix than if you were to just make it from scratch all over again (it would basically need a groundup rework such as jbeam, textures, lua, mesh, etc) Another problem is that the modders that are capable of actually fixing it properly all have their own projects and content they are working on and wouldn't take out their time to fix an old mod
I do that for transmissions, engine and differentials, but there is nothing else I can do. I will also add racing seats and steering wheels.
So far I do not know how to solve this problem, but it appears when clearing the cache and clearing the folder Beamng drive/0.23/temp/ vehicles/common
