[WIP] V10 D-Series

[hazy otter]

yooo this will be fire

[plush marsh]

Nice
When I saw the title I was expecting a V10 like the ford triton V10 or the one V10 dodge had in the 90s
But a scintilla V10 is just cooler

[reef mauve]

4WD + V10 = Track Monster

[viscid zinc]

H-Series/Grand Marshal next!

[topaz yarrow]

I had a friend who made their own custom V10 that you could put into pretty much every car in the game that has V8, I think it was only a private mod sadly

I'll look at their repo profile when I'm home to see, just to be sure

Until then, keep on keeping on!

Because I will 100% download this upon release

Because I'm like 100% sure that mod I mentioned above is private and never to be public

[unique rover]

nicee

[topaz yarrow]

as far as im concerned, this mod is comepletly fine to release on the repo 🙂
i will definetly have to try this out when you release it!

[viscid zinc]

@limpid plover wait, you did the Scintilla V12?!

Oh, wait

Not the 5.8 one

[limpid plover]

hey guys

i want to do more than an engine swap and i was thinking of doing some cosmetic changes as well

any suggestions?

[rapid wasp]

Maybe some wider fenders and fenders that are a bit like Chevrolet k10?

[limpid plover]

gonna make the engine look a bit more period correct

[trail mason]

Inspired by the ram srt10?

[limpid plover]

yes.

but a bit older maybe

bc the facelift d series is not that great

[topaz yarrow]

i have a thought, let me load my game here and i'll show an example instead of trying to explain it xD

as i forget to enable the mod xD

[topaz yarrow]

smaller scoop, something like this on my mid engined D-Series mod up on the fender

[limpid plover]

so in the same position?

they wouldn’t serve much of a purpose

[topaz yarrow]

and incase y'all are wondering, the V10 is an option in it lmao

id love to put it on the repo, its just alot of mess and bugs

[topaz yarrow]

i mean on the front fender

like right here

[topaz yarrow]

yea if they were on the bed, why put the effort? but im meaning on the fender

[limpid plover]

ill give it a try

[topaz yarrow]

alright, i can help you if you cant figure it out, clearly shown ive done it before xD

[trail mason]

Yeah if you were to make a kit for the facelift it would probably look wonky

[limpid plover]

the old shape d series makes it look more like a gmc typhoon

or a cyclone

[trail mason]

Yeah it looks better

[rapid wasp]

Can you change the engine model a bit so it fits the d-series better?

[limpid plover]

that’s my next objective

[limpid plover]

uh

i cut the roof off

[hearty forge]

Fun fact, there was/are 3 ls Chevy based v10s out there as a prototype for a motor against the ford v10

[hearty forge]

Irl there was a ranger convertible

[brittle wagon]

there was also the dakota sport

[limpid plover]

so do people want a full convertible as well as the targa top?

[topaz yarrow]

why do i like this?

[limpid plover]

cleaned up the errors

looking better

[topaz yarrow]

you did do the JBeam too yea?

[limpid plover]

yes don’t worry

[topaz yarrow]

wanted make sure heh

loving that custom skin

[hearty forge]

Would buy if it was an irl car/10

[trail mason]

It's gorgeous

[noble shuttle]

Good news

[limpid plover]

bosh

period correct intake

makes it look so much bettere

still needs some adjusting

[hearty forge]

YEEEES

[topaz yarrow]

GIVE

[limpid plover]

i think its finished

i added the bolide steering wheel and seats

my plan is to add some civetta branding and say that it was a partnership between gavril and civetta

[topaz yarrow]

this is amazing

[limpid plover]

just tested it against the bolide

they have the same 0-60 time

its a bit mad

top speed isnt as good tho

tops out at ab 135

[trail mason]

Maybe try to fix the door pillar tho

If possible

[limpid plover]

where the mirror is?

[trail mason]

This right here

[limpid plover]

yeah thought so

I’ll sort that dw

[trail mason]

Aight

[hearty forge]

Turbos can fix that

[viscid zinc]

A longer top gear would fix it

[crisp monolith]

cool!

[topaz yarrow]

this

[rapid wasp]

can´t wait to race this against the v10

[limpid plover]

what in the holy jesus

[noble shuttle]

Will it have a glass roof in the selector

[limpid plover]

no it’s just had the roof taken off on the body

so it’s a targa body

[noble shuttle]

Yeah but i meant, a roof to add and remove like a real targa lol

[limpid plover]

I might add that

Idk tho

Seems like a lot of work

[topaz yarrow]

oh hecc yes

[limpid plover]

b

[viscid zinc]

Got "V10" badges if needed

(better look)

[limpid plover]

omg I might need those

I was gonna try and get some but I hadn’t got to it yet

[limpid plover]

I’ve made the front tires smaller bc they are massive

[topaz yarrow]

that front tire looks a little off the wheel on the truck

[limpid plover]

I’ll adjust it a bit better

[hearty forge]

Will the v10 have a turbo from like the 6.0 diesel

[limpid plover]

i was gonna use the twin turbo from the bolide

[hearty forge]

Even better

Is it irs or solid rear?

[pale needle]

😍

looks really really nice

[limpid plover]

solid bc converting it would be a massive pain

[hearty forge]

Ah ok, so the good ol 3-4 link s10 auto cross type setup huh? Should still handle well but I’d see if you could notch the frame in the back like they do on c10s or other trucks

Ik there used to be a c notch d series mod but iirc it’s outdated

[limpid plover]

ill have a look into that

it does handle like a boat atm

https://www.beamng.com/threads/gavril-civetta-d-series-v10.95885/

[hearty forge]

If you can’t it’s no problem but when lowering it, it prevents the axle from colliding with the frame, plus small c notch’s won’t hurt it too bad

[crisp monolith]

same scintilla sounds?

[topaz yarrow]

hey @limpid plover since scintilla engine, does that mean scintilla computer? and possibly scintilla door pyrotechnic charges? i can tell you its doable with one of my own private mods im working on, id love to make this mod public but its too buggy

if you want to do it, i'll glady help you out, since clearly i already have code that makes it work

[trail mason]

I think he's going for a more 90s kind of thing

[topaz yarrow]

True, but maybe there can be some lore that it's an experimental feature

Just a thought

[trail mason]

It would definitely be interesting

[limpid plover]

yes but the rev limiter has been lowered to 6200

[limpid plover]

it wouldn’t work with the targa roof

[topaz yarrow]

it was just a thought, i can see how the roof of the targa cab would be too weak to hold up the truck for there to be any point, and even then, its a targa, just crawl out xD

[grand condor]

this mod looks so good whats going on with it

[rapid wasp]

I think he’s gone for some months again.

[grand condor]

fair

[limpid plover]

might have to bring this one back as well

Did try and get it working yesterday but it broke itself

[topaz yarrow]

You exist?
Yey

[upbeat marsh]
