The dashview means 3 times of work more with less fun. Today I spend half an hour, in the evening on these cars. I couldn't release a car with dashboard before Xmas.
The download count, the comments .... I'm uploading my cars for fifty people. It's a kind of easy virtual model car collection for an old man who remind himself some cars everyone forgot.
Things were more serious when the 250GTO were download 40000 times on a dozen websites (NFS Design, NFSstreetdogs, TotalNFS, NFS Bolide...) or when "Butch team's cars" were used on simracing  GTLegend leagues.

That's why I thought you worked on a dash.fce. Now I understrand you meant a dash in the car.fce.

You told earlier you didn't want to make dashes anymore, which is fair b.t.w.

I've modified the marzal texture.

This is an old school car. Same kind of mesh  as my stratos, around 4500 triangles and the dashboard is planned.

Cool. Looks like a mix of an R30 Skyline with a Renault Alpine.
I said hello, tough guy.

Oh, dont mind me) What I say is only my opininon. You are a designer after all, let it be as poly loaded as U like :) Fan of your cars. PS. I never built a single car, only modified the existing ones... so I understand how hard it is.

Now that i've read this post again, i have to say the following: I think it's sad that everybody plays his own mods. There should be something like a modpack which changes after some months, so different mods are played. I've done something like this on the Retro Racing Point Discord Server, but unfortunately only me, DrSpeed sometimes and TsTg do play it (Ronny, too, sometimes). People should get together in online lobbies again. Maybe there should be a thread in the forums here. But people should be willing to play other people's mods. Another problem ofcourse is the copyrights on some mods. Well all i want to say is that if you like to play random mods sometimes, there's a complete modpack (cars & tracks) waiting for you at the Retro Racing Point server under nfs-4-high-stakes-mods channel.

I confess I haven't time for playing online, but support these kind of things.

On my little french car, I still have the exaust to add, few details in the texture, and the dashboard (inside view) to make. 
Anyway, I will stay under the 5000 triangles.

Amazing work again!
There are just two things that bother me a bit:

-Your A310 looks a bit like an offroad car with the wheels a tiny tad too large and the car sitting too high over the ground for this reason. It´s a sportscar... so it should be lowered ;)

-The embroided lettering "ALPINE RENAULT" in the rearspoiler looks strange... there are indeed very few cars with these spoilers to be found in the internet but normaly there should be a white "RENAULT ALPINE" decal in a black area below the spoiler with the correct Renault font.

And maaaayybe you should consider painting some bodylines to the doors as on this car you really can´t see the doors at all ;)

This is the "highest" car i could find. I think the height of the body relating to the rims are just right. They may be a bit lower but i like the model already. Though Cooya! is right about the door lines

I put Alpine before Renault, it's personal.

Door lines and wheels adjustment are planned.
These wheels come from my R5 turbo 2.

This is beautiful! Thank you very much for all the nice cars you bring to NFS4 to make this game more and more special.  :)
And although I can´t wait to see you finish the cars you already have in your pipeline like the Aston Martin Bulldog and the Monteverdi Hai you should definitely consider making more french sports cars ;)
maybe something like a Ligier JS2 or a MVS Venturi... the beautiful Simca 1200s Coupé, a Matra Djet or a Racecar like the Matra MS630 V12?  :D

you play on the patriotic string. The mvs venturi is a very good car and my matra jet can drive from GT Legend. The Talbot Lago T14LS could be a good bmw 507 opponent.

The MS630  would mean another collection: Alpine A220, ford p68, Marcos xp mantis, alfa 33 ... Time is missing.

Ok. The very beginning of the bulldog.

Butch went from 'crazy French' to 'lonesome modder'

I hope it's not to be taken all that seriously.

"Patriotic string"........Citroen DS, is it still possible?

I like the '70 concepts but only 1 or 2 were made, (lonesome). But I love classics like a DS (mass produced and beautifully crazy)
