  Spoiler: Tested custom parts/mods

  • Scintilla GT3 – works fine, extra parts skinned,
  • LJ's 200BX facelift – works fine,
  • KLJP 200BX coupe with Technica kit – only the trunk is a little stretched,
  • KLJP Sunburst Facelift – uses separate material and UV, not supported (yet),
  • KLJP Pessima coupe/wagon with Technica kit – only minor bugs,
  • Ibishu Plum (as for ver. 0.8) – partially compatible,
  • Civetta Scintilla Low Headlights – should work fine now,
  • Cherrier Picnic and Ibishu Signia – only tested on full (paid) versions.
• Credits:
  • @Nekkit – decal kit,
  • @BB93 – decals, vinyls, mental support,
  • Vecteezy/Freepik – vector resources.

 

Coming up next: Scintilla GT-IV kit (borrowed from ETK K-Series GT-IV):

• Front canards (need to come up with making them generate any downforce)
  
  
• Lift kit valve (with new bumper/grille, jbeam needs some polishing)
  
  
• GT-IV wing (already jbeamed, comparable to the Nomi GTT wing)
  

I'm not sure whether I want to just drop these parts or prepare a separate config for it, as I'm not sure whether Scintilla fits the GT4 specs.

 

Coming up next: Alder Vulcan in more sizes:

1. 17x8, 17x9,
2. 18x8, 18x9, 18x10,
3. 19x8, 19x9, 19x10, 19x11, 19x12.

Both vanilla colors are there. The size list is not complete, but I don't want to overpopulate the catalog with one wheel, lol.


^ those are gifs ^

Spoiler: Spoiler

I'm not saying it's coming this week, but if I manage to force myself to finish this find some time to upload the update, it may come soon. I still want to make some skins for the ETKs. Or the Scout. Or both.

And I've just noticed that I need to tweak offsets. I took the jbeam code from the Wangan-2P, but they seem to have some odd spacing.

So yeah, @Exchy dropped a terrific new update and reminded me that I, in fact, overcomplicated the Scintilla (and other) skins. I'm not saying a full remaster is coming, but I'll see where it's needed the most.

 

Nice ones. Maybe using a dark gradient on the lower part of the hood, just looks a bit strange maybe i'll have to cover the grill with something from behind. Maybe even use the default hood

 

So, uh...

Thanks! To be honest I like it the way it is. The Performance bumper has this part in matte black, so having this one in color makes it feel more different than it actually is

 

So, uh...



Changelog: 2023/05/28

• Revisited Scintilla skins:
  • Reworked materials with more true-to-vanilla settings,
  • Adapted for the latest Scintilla GT3 and @SubieBerry's Low Headlights mod,
  • Removed Urban Camo skin due to certain issues. Use eShock Outline instead.
  • Added preliminary support for Ghost_cauli's config pack (TBA).
• Safari seems snappier.

So, uh, some dude on Discord told me to do some steering wheels. Turns out adding them is another step toward making this pack a one godawful dependency hell, but here we go.

Spoiler

Inb4 don't bump old threads.

New in: seats. I totally didn't steal this idea from the CCF.



For those who find the vanilla gray ones too fancy, I have something more toned down: full cloth black seats.



On a side note, the Picnic now has a separate vintage dashboard with @TrackpadUser's digital gauges because the modern display always looked odd in that car.



Last but not least, I added the steering wheels to the Lansdale and fixed some minor bug in SUB*ROSA Pessima configs (and updated performance info, because it was off for whatever reason – KLJP update changed something?). I'm not saying the update is coming (as I have at least two other skins in the works), but it's about time, I guess.

 

This is a skin pack, so here come new parts for the 200BX – frame mounted GTT wing and race exhaust fitted to standard bumpers (not in the photo). Plus, four-lug, four-spoke Alder Vulcan because It's close to Work Equip 01 but it looks nothing like it.

 

is this a tuner car or a touring car? im asking because of tire profile

 

I'd say a tuner, it's the top spec rotary 200BX from KLJP with tweaked racing suspension from the vanilla drift config and my wheels (the tires are from Hirochi Mistral, iirc). To be totally honest, though, it was made purely for the looks, lol.

 

I lied. I've just finished the four-lug version of the same wheel:

1. 15x7, 15x8,
2. 16x7, 16x8.

^ that's a gif, too ^

Coming up next: Wangan-TZ (colorable) – because when was the last time that you thought to yourself: hey, I love that I can only choose between silver, gold, and red. It limits my creativity so that I don't spend too much time tuning my car!


^ that's a gif ^
