Zapper's car pack (vannila cars)

[Zapper]

Hello,

As one of my first modifications in stunts, back in 2002, I created a car pack containing mainly all the vanilla cars tuned in match real performance figures and some dashboard speedo and rev needle corrections, this was as much as possible as the tools available at the time.

Several week ago, with all the tools and resources available nowadays I took on the evolution of this car pack and go on full modification of all 11 original "vanilla" cars (this excludes the "pseudo" Audi Quattro TDI and Porsche 911 Turbo 964 3.3 since it got a full mod back in 2011), detailing and correcting various aspects of the car generically such as size, weight, wheel positions, descriptions and shape proportions, but also its specific key shape elements that also extends to the dashboard according to the actual car model year.

As a first sight of this evolution here are some pictures with comparison of new vs standard car's 3d shape (CAR0 ans CAR1) and dashboard.

The rest will be presented as progress continues, for now I leave you with the "spot the differences" game

NOTE: (*) - The orange customized color needle appears only with Stunts 1.1 Mod 1.0

Wow - how much love for detail there is in this modifications! The Audi is so cool!!

[Duplode]

Great news! Those 3D models sure look commanding. On the poll, I like both option #1 (paint job bugfixes) and #3 (model year paint jobs) about as much as each other.

[Cas]

I hope I've understood the options correctly for the poll. To be more explicit, I'd like to still have the original DSI colours, but also the ones that you'd really find for those cars and if I have to pick between the two, I'd go for the latter.

[Zapper]

The option #2 is intend to get a mix of DSI originality and add some color options like, a full black, white or some dual tone paint jobs.
With this poll I think it is also possible to get top 2 choices. Taking Cas preferences as an example, it could be like "Original colors + real paint jobs"

[Spoonboy]

That would be a good solution!

What about the performance of the cars with the tools and insights we have now (including a way to alter the power gear characteristics)..?

Love the new models and dashboards by the way.

I voted option 2 @Daniel3D as far as I know these cars hasn't PG.

Yes, the currently available version of the pack has no PG/antiPG featured in any car (as long as I remember).

[Daniel3D]

Haha, I never knew. I rarely reach PG speeds so i didn't notice it

Although dsi's 3d shape dimensions were close to real proportions, it had some gaps/holes on it, an asymmetrical form and the missing of rear wing in CAR1 as well.

Indeed! I finally noticed that early this year, while using Stressed renders to update the car icons used at ZakStunts:

This is great news!  I love the work you've done so far!

Thank you for your words!
So far NSX and Countach were those where I found more 'holes' to fix. I'm now working on the 911 Carrera 4.
