Oh... really?!?     Well... at least there should be. Otherwise things can go terribly wrong as you can see

You have a similar issue to what I get working with hella high poly models, Where the headlights don't glow right from a distance..They look fine from certain angles BUT close up they seem to turn off.



Your issue might be easily fixed by using CarCad to move the vertices a bit out of the way of the headlights so the parts don't penetrate. Mine however is more complicated. 

Make sure anything which should be part of the :HB is actually part of the :HB, else the headlight coronas will be having problems shining through. Also make sure the vertices are transparent

Actually quite a few authors follow my trick of making grills,head,side,signal,and tail lights part of the :OC to make mods to the body easy and they don't have this light visibility problem. It has to be some visibility thing not triggering on certain models for whatever reason. Likely it's the same thing causing his Penetration and the same that causes the annoying disappearance of parts on the front and back when viewing replays.   

I mean the cars from nfscars.net. I make slight modifications to some of them.

Then the cars i modyfied for my own (like the Maserati and the Z4 Coupe on my Cliffsiderally screenshots) I try to get permissions for that cars.

The cars from my unfinished HS 2021 are still unfinished.

We're always interested in new stuff 😁.

Tomekk's Audi RS6 Avant:

What has been fixed:

CAR.FCE:
- Fixed driver/head's animations and parts' axles
- Fixed position of 1 single vertice being part of the back seats which had a way off position

CARP.TXT:
- Completely remade based on original one which was really awful and values being way off

FEDATA.XXX:
- Added missing entries
- Changed from class AA to class A

DASH.FCE:
- Added simple dash based on the CAR.FCE

You should make a Polizei for the pursuit edition, They love those Station wagons.

@LRF: Did you already receive the file? Just asking because I got no feedback. As the link expired (limewire seems to be the wrong place for hosting)... here it is again:

Mega has no expiration. www.mega.nz Only limited by space, Solid Files was limitless but seems to have shutdown. Guild was great too..Could send up to 500MB on free version unlike Discord, but Guild is gone now too.

I don't know if you accept requests or suggestions Pete, but maybe you could look into these 2:

- Plymouth/Dodge Sundance by Richard P (https://www.nfs-cars.com/need-for-speed-high-stakes/2/files/view/5827/)

- Toyota Celica Twin Cam Turbo (TA64) by Beowulf (https://www.nfs-cars.com/need-for-speed-high-stakes/2/files/view/3713/)

Did you try moving the wheels in CarCad, centering them in FCE Finish 2, and then centering the whole thing in FCE Centerer yet? That might fix the Celica. Or does the wheels look normal in CarCad, Fce Finish 2, ZMNodeler,ect. ?

I keep a eye on it but the reason I haven't said much is most of these aren't the cars I tinker with..I tend to stay with classic 2 or 4 door cruisers that can be made to Pursuit vehicles. There are plenty though that go for race, formula, and exotics though. I just prefer stuff I can craft to emergency vehicles. 

Ah, Dodge Dynasty..When I lived in Zeigler one of my Cousins had one..Funny thing with it..It had no brake/tail lights..So his father in law rigged up a seich and put it on the dash, When ever you'd come to a STOP sign just flip the switch, Then when you're moving again flip it back 🤣..He got pulled over and was busted driving on a suspended license one time and I had to go over to the P.D. and get his car and drive it back to his house for him so it wouldn't go to impound. Some years later I had to do this again but this he had Dodge Colt stick shift, I told the cop I can't drive a stick and he's like 🙄..I'll follow ya bud..well after much Rrrps, jumps, and stalls I got it there and the cop was like 🤣.

omg best story Paul. Thanks for that. I'm totally jealous that you've driven a Dynasty once. I wonder how's the handling been

It handled great but as I said it had no brake/tail lights, had to activate those separate via the rigged up toggle switch which was nothing more than a household wall switch wired up to them 🤣. I miss that car, It was a deep dark Silver Blue color.

Here I show the vehicles I've tried to make a bit better over the years, All haven't been finished or even tested yet ( I blame my mild Autism cause I'm constantly bouncing around project to project) Some oldies I find I can improove on, While others it's best just to redo the whole thing using our quality bases or newer bases I find either for NFS HighStakes or NFS 3 (can convert them easily) or use models from free models sites or GTA models converted over.

Let's start with Grungy Harry and Givix's Volga 3110 Russian Militia DPS car, I showed it to a expert via FaceBook and he was like  The main thing irked him was NO GAI or DPS Patrols EVER had Militia (or now days Police) on the hood, The lightbar using gumball lights was still used in that time but it was so dated too, so I found a better one on a Ambulance on SketchFab..Other changes all described in the pics.





The improovements    . I also fixed that missing bit from the right side door post.

If Archive.Org didn't go to that BETA crap years ago you'd be able to download them from the site but about 10+ years back they rebuilt the entire site to a junky BETA that is mostly view only and no links work now, I've emailed and asked them to revert back to what was functioning but never got a response. 

It would be better to make a pursuit variant out of GatoJose's version

Yes, That is one of my plans.

Well as far as i know, there are already very good versions from XJ220 and i think also from AJ_Lethal so i guess they didn't feel like it's necessary to convert it to nfs4

I don't think Nils has done that Land Rover but AJ's is excellent 👌. It makes a great base to make any Police Land Rover Discovery from but I'm going to swap it's lightbar for one of our's with detailed insides. I have already done some Police vehicles using his Land Rover.

wip

Every time I see that car I can't get over how much it looks like a Ford Mustang, Did Aston Martin and Ford have a co op? 

I realized that I've been sharing my little cars with you for a quarter of a century. Some sixty cars for NFS4 have come out of my mouse and my Lightwave3D software; cars from a happier, freer time. Initially I made these addons for myself, but it made sense to make them available since I was using Carcad, Zmodeler, FCE Finish2, FCE Center, even MRC, which were themselves downloadable.

After 25 years, I took stock. I've browsed this site, and I've reread all your comments in NFSaddons. Among all those who downloaded, there are 43 people who have spent time writing to me. So, of course, I'd like to thank Mike and the team that administers NFS Addons. I'm thinking of my X-files accomplice (7300 polygons max) and I salute AJ_Lethal for NFS Modder's Corner.

But I'd also like to thank AgentMulder, AndreiK, AndrewHelex777, bfut, bug110, Cooya !, Dandresden, Depressed Owlet, EvoX, FerrariMan, Herms, Isdea, Jaguara, Jordy 404, Kevin K, LRF, MADMAN_nfs, rata_536, MasterLife, McRacer Guy from CDT, mecha, Mike, nfsfan83, Nikster, noise, Paul Spain, pete9516, Rafel, Reight, Remko, RTR450R, Skoti_nfs, Rider66, Ronny77, Sarge Paul, Spectre, Stifen_DY, Venko, WiLL, XRaider927, Zalcus20, Zipper, Zpectre for spending a few minutes on their keyboard in the forum, the downloads, the showroom or the PM. It always touched me, and that reminds me that sometimes, these few textured polygons can bring a touch of joy to people.

Rest assured, it's not over yet.

Thank you but really I can do nothing without fine models as I never could build anything my self. I can however (given the bases) whip up most emergency vehicles. 😃
