Last rides with high stakes

[noise]

Just found out the Austin Healy 3000 and the Lotus super 7 by Butch aren't uploaded here on addons.They were probably on nfscars.net. I don't have the original zip's.

[Butch]

I still have the 34 cars I made before my comeback last year. Those missing here (triumph, mg, mangusta, ghibli, DBS V8 ....etc) need the same update I made for the DB4 Zagato and the M6B GT.

Nice to see you don't forget you solo work.

That's a big improvement on this classic. I find the exhaust to big tho.

[Cooya!]

A new version of you Ferrari "Daytona" makes me happy 
I wasn't sure if you would ever remake your classic as you normally don't build cars that were already made by someone else... and Bodie's Daytona isn't too bad. But your's already look much smoother and closer to the original so I don't mind the ultimate rendition of this classic... And your Miura needs some serious competition. Keep up this fantastic work and with enriching our favorite game with cars that you can hardly drive in any other racing game! Thank You!

[Butch]

Dashboard also need a serious update. I think I will add logos and the car should contain around 8000 triangles.

After, the mangusta will follow.

[Butch]

cooya! .... So?

[Cooya!]

Yes! That's exactly what I meant. It looks much more realistic now.
...Maybe just a little too realistic and too fine for the old NFS4 engine as these lines will flicker as hell with every graphic setting.
I would make the pattern less "fine" and would set the lines much further apart and then I would lower the contrast and make the lines more transparent... you just have to fiddle around with the texture a bit to get a satisfying result. NFS4 doesn't make it easy.

[Butch]

It's the first time someone says I'm too realistic.
Ok I'll see what I can do.

There's a german Sprichwort: "Der Teufel steckt im Detail" I'd reshape it to "Der Cooya! steckt im Detail" just for the fun. But in the end, the input Cooya is looking for is really worth it. The texture looks really good but Cooya is right, it needs less transparency. But maybe it just looks like that due to the missing anti-aliasing in the pictures

On the road for downloads ......

[Cooya!]

As I tell you everytime you release a car: I love it! This is by far the best Ferrari Daytona for pretty much every NFS game ever made.
...But this time I just can rate it a 9/10 because of 4 little flaws that triggered me:

- The normals of the rims are still messed up
- The headlight's diffusor glass has this little annoying mapping error with one line missing between the lights
- The headrests of the seats are flying. If don't want to make the connection to the seat to save polies.. then please just set them to the lowest position possible
- There seem to be a electrical error in the fuses forcing the indicator lights to glow when the lights are turned on. There shouldn't be any orange glowing light dummies

But that's it... it is pretty much an almost perfect car. Thank you soooo much!

Just checked the car 'in game', I see what Cooya! means...he's picky

First thing I noticed the wheels are rather big, but maybe it's me.

The hood shows color difference, try blue and it shows. Could be smoothing Group thing.

Great to see a dash, it's nice but the dials are unsharp.

....Ohh I'm picky too

[Spectre]

Geez give the guy a break will ya...

Geez give the guy a break will ya...

I give anyone a break....

Both Cooya! and I admire his work.

This is a discussion-forum and in this case a carmaker shows his project (o.k. this one is released already) and wants feedback I suppose. If this bothers Butch I'm sure he's capable of telling us.
