Engine is ready, some physical parameters should be fixed in RES file (like wheel positions or rev needle - now it has a Corvette dashboard). 3D shape is almost ready, the usual "why do I see the left wheels from the other side" issue has to be solved.
Good job :o
New problem appeared during the dashboard test: Stunts says "Out of memory". When I try to open the .vsh file again after that, the whl1, 2, 3 modules are screwed up.
Dashboard 1.0 (numbers will be white, but now I still have to avoid the usual stupidity of Paint...)

Lazy, unsubstantiated guess: did you make the bitmaps larger than they originally were?

The "menetlevél" chart is a nice touch!
Now "only" the needles are left. It seems they mustn't be in the mentioned region, but it can cause some minor display errors (choosing larger ins2 than 200 X units... well... it screwed up heavily).
Can we race with the bus, this weekend? ;D

It would be the worst race ever (0-60 mph: 28 s, Default test lap: 2:29).
We just need a very short track, and it will be proper endurance (and patience)
Not the best quality, but still... ;)

Fabulous video! I don't know what I like best: the fine-looking large vehicles, the perfect synchronization or the changes in the track elements 8)
Nicely done! I love the colour on piano sections you used in corners!! And the plane just looks amazing, I wonder how and overtake would look...
PS: Looks like the bus driver is from my town, taking corners over 60 km/h
Too bad, the Boeing 747 is the only one with ~30% scaled down size (I tried the same video with the ~1400 units long AN-225, but it was simply annoying).
After the early enthusiasm, I checked the replay and the video again. Things that should be fixed:
.RES: mass (stupid /me, 1 smu is not 100 kg, but 45 - it means 187 smu instead of the current 85...), wheel positions (forgot it somehow), grip (should be decreased a bit, the real Ikarus 260 can't complete a sharp turn at 80 km/h); minor: speedometer needle is too short between 80 and 100 km/h
.PVS: steering wheel movement (the ins2 bitmap seems to be too big)
.3SH: "transparency" of the bodywork (right wheels are visible from the left - through the left wall of the bodywork)

Truly amazing!
Anyone else noticed the pirate ship? ;D
.RES corrections:
- Mass and aerodynamic resistance both changed from 85 to 187, torque curve increased to ~220% (except idle value, as it was originally already ~180). It caused slightly worse acceleration in first gear, I don't mind it (0-60 mph is ~1.0 s longer). At least it shows the more realistic performance of a 30 years old bus. :D
- Wheel positions seem to be more or less correct now (Z = +43 and -57 in 3D shape, ~ 3200 / -3200 in .RES file)
- Grip: decreased from 192 to 128 (as DUP wrote at wikipedia, cars starts to slide at ~70 mph when it's 256; ~150 mph with 512). However, cornering is still better than in real life. :D
CTG's video on YouTube with the bus and the plane made me think "what the hell is happening to good old Stunt ? :o
new bridges too, new kerb colour, funny arrow at dual way beginning... Are you all creating a brand new game ? :P

Don't worry, this is only my personal home version. :D
(since that, I made a bike and a roller ;D)
What about new trees ? And some other buildings (Eiffel tower for example :P)

Well... my parents' house is already there.
Beta version
How excellent! Just drove a 3:00.50 lap on Default; it was very relaxing :) Waiting for the next models from Unskilled Factory! :)
Downloaded, will take a look at it tomorrow.
BTW, can you upload the modified elements? I like them a lot!
Chulk: soon, although it'll make the emulation worse (eats too much memory)
Hexcellent! I'd love to see this one in ZakStunts 2014. ;D

Just realized that I mustn't publish them, because there's a pending surprise for Top Gear series (::)).

You could publish the ones we saw in Ikarus vs Boeing video and keep the surprise hidden

Most of them are in the same file (game1.3sh or game2.3sh). However, I can export them into .obj format.
I have just uploaded this bus to Southern Cross.

Stunts world is getting really strange now. I though that before was strange... ;D
Modified elements cause a lot of trouble in the gameplay by making it dashed. Or even running out of memory.
There is a subtle technical issue with the .RES file of Ikarus 260. I presume that the text data of the car was edited with stressed, and stressed reordered the resources in alphabetical order. The resulting file works perfectly well in both Stunts and stressed, but gibberish results if you open it in CarBlaster. Here is the .RES file with the resources reordered (stressed can do that) in a CarBlaster friendly order (simd, edes, gsna, gnam). It might be worth it to add a CarBlaster compatibility checkbox to stressed when opening CAR*.RES files.

Thank you, I'll take care of that in the future projects.

Another camera view... BKV sent a retro bus this morning.
