Dunkel AI cars will be available for purchase untill the end year. I think that is excluding, not including the end year. I tried but did not see a car appear with the same from and end years.
The AI people will use the car for the duration of its life time. So if you're end year is 1995 and the life time is 10 years they will appear untill 2005. Their number will decrease as no new ones will be added.
yes its only for the driving ones that I want to set an end year
The cars asset is now working out as I hoped, just the licence plate feature isn't in yet. After that a bit of fine-tuning and testing.
If I use the availability from real life (in The Netherlands) some vehicles will only be available for 2 or 3 years. That I find too little in the game by definition, what do you think is feasible for the game?
A. Keep it real
B. At least ... years (fill in your preference)
Also what do you think the life time of the vehicle should be? In real life it is of course very depending on the use, a courier car will be sold after about 2 years, where others manage to keep driving the same vehicle for decades.
Thanks for your input everyone
If you order over 100 cars you will not only get a nice discount, of course then there is also something for the kids;
The 2nd last vehicle has a special trailer 
lol
The horse trailer I really like, will also fit very well with my coming Pajero.
I've video'd another test run of my cars today, mainly for testing, but stil let me share another preview.
All cars come out of the depot take the roundabout and then return into the depot.
Do you already see your favorite?
PS there are of course some easter eggs, two of them are visible in the vid if you look carefull.
oh and that does remind me, I've lost my little red elephant, it's been gone for about a month. If any body sees it around, please let me know 
lol
Ich wusste gar nicht, dass es einen weiteren "Schwarz" Mitarbeiter (ohne Kappe) gibt!? Ist der aus Ingos Paket?
Yes, it is the Driver from my DAF 55 mod. I offered them to Ingo so we'll have a central mod for the repainted persons.
PS the Schwarz man with the cap has a small difference to the first version from my DAF 2800, with/without logo on the cap.
The issue with repainting is that it does not change the mesh nor the animation of the figure.
I think Ingo-1111 explaines this also in his interview with PeterLustig . Since the mesh defines the model's shape and that does include the clothing, you can't just paint anything on the existing images.
Creating new meshes means creating your new 3D models in an external tool, but human figures require a lot of experience and time to make.
Same for the animation part, it is possible to adjust the animations on the existing models but that is very much restricted based on the existing meshes and their positioning. Let alone it is very cumbersome to figure out how to animate a mesh of which you have very little information, so it's basicly trial and error if you want to do that.
So to create fully functional beach characters is a very big task.
Closest for the moment to your request is my Lifeguard girl from the Mercedes G, Ingo-1111 made it available in his persons asset.
But who know's perhaps someone will add a few static figures. E.g. hugedragonyk is featuring a few fiugures in his mods.
see/listen at about 23min in the video
Question;
Do you want to have a selection for the licence plates like on my VW T3?
Answer;
A. Neh, don't bother I won't use it anyway.
B. Yes please!!
C. I don't need a selection per country. 2 selections is sufficient; Dealer plates like VW-GOLF and MB C-class versus regular road going european plates of any country.
Thanks for your responses!
No worries; The base mod will be assets and driving vehicles, just like my other mods.
For my development I made them stand-alone ones, Just need to finish the asset part for the Golf and then that's done.
After that I will start creating final version with all the cars in a single mod, I want them to be in a single configuration to not overfill the asset menu.
I feel that's the best fit for my current and future goals. It's challanging to figure out how to best include my 'standard' features of turning wheels and light options.
Hah, thanks Ingo-1111 you made me review my code a bit more to now find a typo I overlooked before.
The last car for the pack is a VW Golf3 I've made 15 versions, from a 1.4i all the way up to the VR6.
The total count for the pack will therewith come to 16 models and a total of 89 variations. That's enough to almost completely overrule the standard game KI traffic.
That I personally see a a nice side benifit, but I would like to see the KI traffic mods created by others still. Hence for compatibility I will make colour config models (haven't done that yet) for the KI traffic. To still be able to get more VW Golf and MB-Class's on the road than e.g. Alfa Spiders and Lexus LS400's I may feature 2 or three of the more common cars.
Whilst working on the last model for the pack I'm also looking at alternative randomization options.
My idea is to base the model definition on the systemtime. For user experience this will come down to the same as random. Especially if I combine that with the know math.random.
So something alike;
if os.date("%S") = "01" then "model_aa" .. math.random(1,8) .. ".mdl"
elseif os.date("%S") = "02" then "model_bb" .. math.random(1,6) .. ".mdl"
elseif os.date("%S") = "03" then "model_cc" .. math.random(1,9) .. ".mdl"
etc..
But I can't get it working in a construction file, anybody got a clue how to make such work?
#14 for the car pack is a Volvo 850;
it's too hot to sleep for me this night, so did a bit more modding. Of course some repaints will follow the car-pack, most meshes will need improvement for the uv maps, but just looking what can be done already I made a Feuerwehr MB E-class
Good Morning. Is this available now? If it is I can seem to find it anywhere. I don't want to miss out on this.
It's available now;
Please provide your feed-back, i'd like to hear what you like and also what not or where you note room for improvement.
Thanks
I've decided to provide you a limited edition alike you'll find in your local model shop produced in a limited amount. This mod won't be available anymore once I finish the first car pack and that will not include this model! Of course, once you have it, it will keep functioning, also in combination with the final mod.
So here's a coming soon:
Tonight I've completed the Toyota 4Runner, for the first batch I'll also complete the Volvo showed previously and a VW Golf III.
Yes please, perhaps with just basic colors
Created a Toyota Celica for my car pack, that's #12. Just the licence plates I forgot to tailor, so that's for tomorrow.
I've also made 2 "tuned" ones, these however exceed my aimed limit of 20k tris... not sure if I'll leave it, include them later in a next pack, or will cut a few corners.
