I’m working on expanding the current fixture library and I figured asking the forums what you want in game would give me a better indication as to what’s missing and what the players want to see
What fixtures do you guys want to see added to the game? Right now I’m working on grills as they are easiest to put together and we’re still working out a few of the kinks with fixtures in the conversion to UE4.
If you could share what you would want to see added with a front-on example like these that would be great:
I’ve always liked the grill of the '95 Altima (U13) I used to have. Unfortunately I have yet to find a good head-on photo of her. Only this,
but I did find a photo of the grill itself;
I’ve always loved the internal honeycomb
3/4 view of the car for referance
I’m not sure if it’s possible within the game, but can we make “deep” grills with Unreal 4? Currently all the grills in the game are only an inch deep or so, whereas the Challenger you posted up top has a grill that sits back a good half-foot.
Very easily doable even now. Just will often not work, in the case of the Challenger it will, but take another, smaller car then I think you see what the issue will be.
I second the lower grills. They’re so very useful with modern cars.
We could also use American grills of the 40s and 50s. Many do include lights and such, so they could certainly be simplified versions of the real ones.
Yeah, these are mostly 50s… we don’t have any proper jet age grills.
To bring up the headlight thing, the Dodge Diplomat shown a few posts above has my main request for those: square single and double sealed beam lights that can fit the shape of the car and stay vertical like the round ones already in the game.
quite simply that in most hatchbacks they can’t even house a 1L straight 3 longitudinally so a half-foot grille would pretty much be cutting into most of the engine components
But yeah, the issue with making deep grilles work with all cars is that it would often require to make the engine bay smaller or reduce the morphing range of the front end, and I think most people don’t want those.
As I said, Pleb made a super deep grille once, try using that on the 80s landrover like truck to see what I mean.
IIRC, even the deeper vanilla grilles can cause the rad to clip through when morphing the front end to be as short and sloped as possible.
