Topic about fixed nfs4 cars

[pete9516]

I want to create this topic here so i can share cars that i've fixed in the best manner that i could. Hate it or love it. If you love it, make sure to follow this thread so you're being notified about another car that got fixed. I like to fix anything which is not about the quality of a car model or showcase specifications, since there's simply not always data available and i can't do models and UV mapping. But i can do everything instead and i want to share this stuff here. Uploading them as actual car addons would result into a total mess and most authors probably wouldn't want that (including me). There's also gonna be posts where i update a car (for example add engine sounds, etc.)

First fix to be shared here is noise's Alfa Romeo Canguro.
Fixes:

Car.fce:
- Fixed head's axis
- Merged spoiler part with :HB, since it only are windshield wipers and interior rear view mirror which is not supposed to be a removable part if you ask me

- Completely revamped carp.txt (more authentic/realistic, but 0-60 times might not match (if there's even data available on the net))

- Fixed dash.fce's RPM needle since the carp.txt has been recreated (much thanks/credits to Butch for creating the dash view)

- Added missing fedatas

- Changed from class B to class A

- Fixed the car's textures, so you can choose custom colors

EDIT: The stock red color might be a little brighter now due to the fact that the texture is now transparent and uses color values from car.fce instead the one from the actual texture

Another dead fart of my melancholy/nostalgia brain: The 1992 Chrysler Dynasty from Richard P:

- Centered the car.fce. It's wheels have been a bit underneath the road surface
- Completely revamped carp.txt. Used the following for a fix: https://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/1992/683690/dodge_dynasty_3_0l_v-6_automatic.html
- Removed the Pursuit Chevy Camaro's fedatas and duplicated the one Richard p has made
- Added a video wall out of the 2 pics Richard has set up as a mod website picture on nfs-cars.com (nfscars.net)

Unfortunately, it doesn't have a driver and steering wheel. When i'll ever be able to add parts and UV map them, this might get an update.
There's also been a 2.5L 4 cylinder, but as it seems the most common engine+transmission has been the above one with the link

After reading his readme.doc, i've totally seen myself in this car mod. I've once owned a wine red Golf 3 Variant 1.6L, it was about in the same physical state as his Chrysler, the clear coat's been missing from all over the parts, it's had it's flaws in general, but it could bring me from A to B and it was a beautiful car to drive due to it's age. Like a good wine One day, i want to create my car (which i don't have anymore due to it having had too much rust (RIP) for nfs4 just like Richard p has done)

Here's the original version with additional description which is not present in the archive's readme.doc:

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 switch 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 🤣.

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.
