Decided to give my older mods (Hadimrska Sport and Lemon Adieu) to the community and enable their derivatives.

Here are some screenshots from various stages of 3D models to prove that these mods are my own work and therefore are valid bases for future mods according to the LFS Vehicle license

I have decided to completely graphically rework my first mod - Hadimrska Sport. Here is the first preview of the progress in Blender and LFS Editor. It is going to get a completely reworked interior, a new config with roof, a new engine sound, a new steering animation, an optimized texture mappings and many other smaller improvements.

Update: reworked mesh and mappings are done. Some textures will need a little more work but the major update is published. Here is a comparison between the old (top) and the current version (bottom). As can be seen, the basic topology is the same, but the mesh is much more detailed.

Update: a complete graphical rework of the Lemon Adieu. More detailed mesh + used parts from my other mods.

You are a perfectionist and I love your work. I mean retro cars are not so mainstream here, but I'm impressed of that how much time you spend on your mods and you came back to update this and become perfectly done. Respect!

Thanks, it is always nice to get such feedback, especially from such good modder as you are I also admire your modding, the way how you work with the LFS editor is just extraordinary. I have used those old cars to learn the modding basics for two reasons. Firstly, they are technically much more simple then modern cars and thus can be recreated accurately. Secondly, I just love old cars

Every mod took more than 50 hours of work and research and some of them (for example Xsara) more than 100. But it would be a pity to make non-realistic mods for such realistic simulation

The Hotrod is absolutely amazing to drive!!
Everything is perfect and well made.
Only thing that might be improved is the way the car steers, it is a bit too responsive and feels like there isn't much inertia.
But I dont know if that is intentional and if that is the way these cars feel in real life.

It is a purely fictional build but based on a real world car parts. It uses a rack-and-pinion steering, which is precise but the force-feedback should be minimal (at least in the default setup). It is probably little lighter than it should be and also tires have much more grip than those from 50s but it is not a final car and I will definitely try some adjustments in the future. Thanks for the feedback

Anyway, derivatives are allowed, so feel free to build your own rod

Lemon Adieu major rework 2:

The sad thing about modding is, that I made my favorite cars before I learned how to create mods Therefore I have decided to finish an abandoned update which previously resulted in the Lemon Jones mod.

This is a complete mod rework, with a more detailed interior and a completely new physics. The engine output is no longer a 50s swap but original 1939 specs (a 1936 model can be obtained by a voluntary intake restriction). I created the original mod before movable objects and custom clock textures were introduced, so the new version got movable wipers, realistic 1930s side indicators and reworked dash. A new police version (with both classic and cartoon shading) is introduced for some rough cops and robbers chases too.
