Those people may be beta testers. They probably got the mod from the author himself through a PM. Please don't go into the author's PM's thinking you will just somehow get the mod, because that isn't how it works. They give it to trusted people who know at least a little bit about modding so that they can point out bugs or issues. Or the mod was just leaked to a Russian website and you can probably find a broken version there.
Go to page 11 and find the post that says these lines what i quoted above, this is the version that is playable that burilkovdeni did, i am not yet in best mental health(got to love losing your BFF of 14 years and all of his friends... so i don't have any IRL friends left...) but i am planning to start working on this mod again a bit next week
Not put in game yet due to taking a half a year long break from modding this, the one whit body panels(and in red? color) you might see people using in-game is the russian/slavic mod that is based on the same model and was developed before I started developing this, but my model has differences/improvements: more authentic body based on real car, fixed body panels to look like real car, to the point of having attachment points like real car has, actual body panels instead of one single model that has everything "welded" together, better interior button textures(that broke somehow during development...). This mod goal was somewhat based on improving their version of the car/model that they improted to Beamng. I'd link their mod but idk if i am allowed....
Dude this is awesome, I've wanted a Russian car for a while. I would love if you let me test this and give you feedback!
Little life update: Whit time my 3d moddeling skills and jbeam creating skills have become rusty, so to practice again and get some legs under me(a local methaphor) after 6 months of hiatus, i am helping someone whit their mod(not going to details really, but fixing a guys 70's muscle car mesh) I have educational course in next month, after that i have 0 idea about my future.
hey man I read through all of this and I hope everything goes well. You seem like a great guy and this looks like an amazing mod in the works!
