    Since this isn’t really „troubleshooting”,
    Anyone know cars with Torsion Beam suspension and MacPherson Strut suspension? I’m looking to copy the base game meshes but don’t know where from. Also I’m not a suspension expert so I don’t wanna find them myself. :p
    I’d use ChatGPT, but it often messes things up with BeamNG („FPU Roamer”), so asking on the forums seems like the next best choice.

    Btw yes I did get it to say FPU made the Roamer and it wasn’t intentional on my end, I was trying to see if it would manage choosing a car dealership to buy a BeamNG vehicle.

    What era car are you making? That way I can better help you find something that's period correct.

    Production '86-'95 so somewhere in that range would be good.

    If it matters, it’s a Kei car, so pretty small (I can rescale the suspension though, and I am aware that neither the Pigeon nor Wigeon have what I’m looking for)

    Well, the late model Pessima suspension should do the trick for the front if you scale it down (suggested this instead of the earlier Pessima suspension for quality reasons), but I'm unaware of any vehicles with torsion beam rear suspension in the game, you may have to ask some modders to borrow theirs if any exists at all. I wish you luck in this endeavor.

    GPT is very inconsistent lol (I mean theres little to no documentation on the internet)
    Covet’s rear suspension according to it (timeline):
    Torsion beam -> Trailing arm -> Independent -> Independent -> Semi-independent torsion beam -> Trailing arm…
    Also it more and more compliments the Covet for its amazingness and progressively gets more like „Let me fetch the information. Ah, there it is!” like it were some kind of roleplayer.

    Update, I found something with Torsion Beam rear suspension, I completely forgot to check it. The Vivace has it, although it's a tad bit of a modern vehicle for your application. It would definitely provide a good basis for some custom suspension though.

    I’ll propably try something to „olden” it, but it’s great that I have a stable basis already.
