Hehe .. funny you say there, but I somehow liked that 'Mr. Plow' .. I'll see what I can do Sir ..

What about maybe 'Wow Plow' or in native American language: 'P(l)ow-Wow', that's 'sit and talk having fun together' isn't it

Btw .. before I continue, which rims you like better on it, the aftermarket 'sportive' ones from above posts or these 'Super Duty' rims, they're actually from 1st gen Ford F250?

Perhaps I should create another car not being a snowplow using the sport rims?

To stay with native American language, so this is what is a called then a 'Plow-wow' maybe?

Hi just filling out more Court papers, today    well, I'm not Native Indian bro.. so I like the Rims,but don't see any others you may have to Compare to. That Bill Collector an I, are Settling, Out of  Court,    but they still want me file Civil papers, out still.. Not my Cup of Tea.. today. Yea..   well,.enough my Problems,,, no time for pc, today yet.  I like the Rims,.Frank 
Did you Resize down, it any Just hard to Notice bro. Name it what you want to np.

[FranknFurter]

thought about 'Will plow!'.. 'anywhere - anytime' 

Well, you like the duty rims, ok but for the 'plain' F250 (if I make one ...) I will use the more 'sportive' ones ..
Think is going to replace my old reworked traffic Evo Tahoe betimes

Further progress .. made transparent windows and added a 'simple' interior basement .. now needs some seats and a driver ..

[WiLL]

pal... nice see thru- now.  couldn't  see the Hillbilly dude, doing bad things before? yes I'm plowing thru Walls seeing how Stretchy I can be  . Yea so you going to use, Banana Joe's brother? 
Um,plow the other Racers off the road, it needs to be Heavier for that I know    but I like the Higher up feel it has... anyways,
Trying think, nicer Windows,anyhow. Good Luck on your New Rims, job...yup, I still have much to do.. fixes, an I'm not in a Huge Hurry.
I been, feeling lazier at times. Cheers Frank.

Driver and a steering wheel, seats and something like a dashboard with also an ODL is now added (not quite appropriate but who cares anyway ..?) so looks at least a little bit more 'complete' now ..

.. final step will now be making a customizable texture and a little normals refinement work on body (my favourite task ) ..

You might have noticed there's still the blade fastening construction missing, I will add it as soon as I developed an idea how to make a nice low-poly one for that .. it's a bit tricky since this is a lot of rough mechanical stuff (poles, bars, stabs ...)

Polycount is now at 2827 polies and current meshload is 457kB, that's a bit much for a traffic car but since this also base for a racer car I added a lot of detail (more than I wanted to -LOL) .. I will see if I can reduce it again still a bit for the traffic version ..

No, not a 'hillbilly' driver this time, just a plain simple one ..

Ok here's files for testing .. best if you import to 'knockout' for matching sounds and save new .. I suggest in new folder 'F250'

oops .. forgot to add 'em Ford badges - sry. my age ...

For those who might want to use it as a 'traffic snowplow' already here's also an altered Carp.txt ... it should be cruising at 30-35mph and wouldn't exceed 38mph (60kph) going downhill so is slower than default traffic which speeding at some 80kph .. cornering is also decreased so should slow down a bit before really sharp turns ...

Btw ... if you should import it into ZModeler .. have a closer look at the mapping of those little pennants .. that's a possible clever way to later map the tilted stripes on the Dutch 'patatbus' upon a straight lined texture ... it's all in the game yet

Nice work so far. It's interesting to watch the traffic cars getting the same treatment as the playable ones.

Busy doing Laundry not so much   thanks much!! Frank, been on the Track project last night an today, as I try to have time..
So I all ready have some folder made an, using Challenger, Sound stronger AA's Class, Carp on this, So it be Nicer using this today on my test runs,.I'm just trying to fix my ground Levels problems,  I'm really drawn to to Sea Coast line, it's in my Horoscope,  same as Moon, an Lake waters,. so I'm busy trying make it better all thru there.. I'm getting my hair cut today so busy on appointments, an phone calls.. cause this is more important rite. xD Ttul later great work too bro 

[WiLL]

I forgot to ask um,.will you be trying,  for another Different Set of Rims..? Like you mentioned, before or you passing on them. Ttyl Good day: )

[FranknFurter]

yeah, the F250 racer version will have the sport rims from previous posts ...

and.. thx @all .. well, a car is always only as good as you treat it or how much efforts you put into it ... don't know but this particular one was tempting for me in a way .. and still isn't quite finished yet, there's more to come like a customizable texture and some better overall look, will be doing this by detaching parts and readjusting normals ..

@Dark One: no, I haven't got that '74 Ford LTD you mentioned pity ..

Is the car still downloadable? Well uhmm, Reight's cars are mostly very highpoly, is that one too?

[Dark One]

I unfortunately have no idea where it was from, and the thread is long gone since. 

[FranknFurter]

Have you asked Paul already? He should have a lot of stuff like that as base cars for his projects?

He had also sent to me a large package of cars maybe it's even in there, have to look into it again ...

[Dark One]

Not for this particular one. it just came to mind, while i was looking into something.

Hi, Frank I gave it a ride, but I know this it so far? The Traffic Version. Of Plow here, but does the Rear beams, ever spose-' to turn on?. No biggy. but I'm kinda bummed out about not able turn blade up an down, now. but Windows an Roll bar goes, down for me now. Does look strange,  . but my tracks, not doing any better,.  them thin trees are moving to much I have delete them, make new ones, the one poly ones. 
So I have get going. Well,I like the plate, an things even the Metal bars shine,.more Real too:)

Just wished I had a blade off an on, up an down,Ver..now that was newer, ah,k Ttul again
Windy day here much...

I only have a 1975-1977 Ford LTD base that I found on a GTA Sanandreas mods site that I'll convert over some day..I too look for good older LTDs, Anyway been busy revamping the police cars from the ColdWar mod, Redid the paint job and decals on the VoPo Lada 2101,Lada2106,and Wartburg 113 so now the paint jobs look better and the decals are more precise, Also @ Frank I found a pic showing the top view of a F.E.R. lightbar and there was no grill design up there, So I imagine they drilled extra holes on the base of that bar to run their wires through.

[FranknFurter]

Final step concerning body mesh reworks, some refinement .. :HB been dissected and normals adjusted of each part seperately ...
polycount hasn't changed by this of course however meshload is increased to 472kB but I deleted some polies from undercarriage instead that weren't necessarily needed ..

What do you think of it .. you can compare by pics ...

As soon as I got texture reworked to customizable one I will post the 'plain' F250 racer car (w/o snow blade) here for testing ..

I will also delete the spots on roll cage for some improved and more light dummies as well a license plate dummy ...

Ok .. an exhaust pipe for the racer car seemed necessary ..
