Quote from turbofan :

truly an amazing quality work, wow
however, it could be even more jaw dropping if you used "vertex shading" option (when u select a point in modeller, just below "center point"), specially inside the cockpit like footwell.
that option is rarely used and it's a waste because its a simple way to add depth in rendering.
Also engine sound could be refined.

Well, dont misunderstand, it's a gem, but it has potential to be a crown jewel

Ty for the suggestion! I've used darker points elsewhere but i seem to havr forgotten to use inside
Yep, sound is getting worked on aswell

Quote from Scawen :

I just found out that I can allow the spare wheel to be offset, with no compatibility issues. I hope to release an editor test patch today or tomorrow. I'll check your bug reports thread as well.

Nice! I'll wait for the patch to be available then
Ill edit it.. Cause irl defender its slightly off-centered to the right for rear door handle access

Here's the final build.
Added a roof rack and lights protection.
Now just making some skins and it's go time.

-when using a 2D view (from back for example) and adding pitch using the P (lower right part of screen).. While having the clock's texture in edit mode.. Making changes (like moving speedo or indicators) position will not appear in real time on the assigned tris.. You'll have to go back to free view (P) to see changes

Amazing to see this classic being built with such high quality in LFS modeller.

Thank you sir, wouldn't be possible without the very thoughtful way you built the editor in

I didn't really find an existing thread for it so i decided to make one dedicated for bugs/errors so it's easier to sort it away from suggestions.

The issue is in Vehicle Editor, Animations..
I was making a STR animation for my land rover mod and saved it with a name of STR_Defender
When i try to locate it in [driver/steering] tab it will not show.. It seems like the issue is that it can't detect names that are longer than 7 characters (aside from "STR_")
While in animation editor you can save a "str/sit" name with 8 characters.

I can't understand why only me comment here.. Cheer up..
I am so impressed! Great work! That mod it will be 10/10

ty sir! Hopefully it will be up to your expectations

Current progress is on the technical side
Texturing is finished
Here is the suspension made and modeled to look somewhat good along with drivetrain components.
Left to do for a full completion : Engine, Animations and engine sound.
Extras will be : Configurations, skins, tweaks and detailing if needed

Modeling is finished.
Fun part begins.. Textures!

Doors complete, dash wip
There's been a change, i decided to go with the newer gen interior look.

Quote from ivo_drifta :

So much good progress!

I hope you get up soon!

Thank you Yasen <3

Small progression on exterior..
May take a while because health issues.

Quote from ivo_drifta :

So good so far!

Ty boss.. Can't wait for your raptor aswell !!

Progression on exterior with blueprints shown.

Quote from Giedriune :

can you minimaze steering lock? for better cruise feel fun mod btw xd

I'll see if it's doesn't effect the turning radius much..
I also seem to have made the weight wrong somehow lol..

The 3.5L V8 Version..
Progress so far.

Quote from Gutholz :

Have you seen the UF Robin?
https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/42B264
Yours looks more detailed though.

yep, seen it before.. It's actually not the same model either
Thae uf1 robin is a replica of the more modern year Robin's, while mine is based on the MK1

Done.. Pictures doesn't include all details..
Now making some skin then uploading..

Never Go Gentle if it's a damn Rental... Unless it has 3 wheels

Dash complete

Outter shape is fully done.
Time to start on the interior

Please make a skin like this!

Classic, although that's a reliant regal and the one I'm making is a different model (1973 model) but I'll try to make a replica of that

Continuing final touches to outter body
Also made base chassis in interior, needs the door finishing up aswell as the front wheel hole dug out and the shell would be complete.

When Speed Is your Enemy

Love it, brilliant work

Quote from RevLeon :

Thank you for the input, it does say in update#2 "-Fixed Caster (now +6)" but it doesn't seem to be the case. Now let's hope the creator will make the necessary updates and fix it

Yep, im aware of some strange stuff.. Ye increasing Caster eas some way back but idk why i reduced it maybe when i rebuilt the suspension.. But I'll definitely modify it asap
Im using mouse for steering so i have 0 feel of how it would behave on a wheel
