Surprise!
I have been very busy with work and personal challenges, but made sure to find the time for this.
Several reported issues have been fixed and a number of improvements made. Polished some textures further, added a few more details and optimised the package some more, removed some obsolete files and improved the CSP scripting.
But the best part, is that there is a stock version of l'enfant terrible. And ...

This is for you, baby boy, it's your time now. ❤️
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Homologation "Projet 822"!
The Renault 5 Turbo or R5 Turbo is a feisty little sport hatchback. Over the two-year secret ambitious endeavour, the car was designed for rallying, but had to also be sold as a street version to compete. At the time of its launch, it was the most powerful production French car. This is the fictional R versi...

All the skins included. I may add more in future updates.
Almost there. Marathon modding day today. I have some minor optimisations, VAO tweaking and custom paint options code to write, but aiming for release tomorrow. ✌
A long journey this mod has been, I have gone out of my way to learn new skills and add new features. This mod is close to my heart for personal reasons. ❤

Thank you dede-driver for the inspiration. 😉 I have ended up using 3 of the colour combinations you made. I have remade the skins from scratch but you'll still be in the credits and here is my shout-out to you bud. Cheers! 🤝
Thanks Vincent for the stock power figures. 🙏 I'll add a stock version in the next update, and I will include your skin in the mod. Credits too. 🙂

Photo Dump! 😁
Excuse the poor quality photos, just a ton of WIP photos taken at random times as I've painstakingly gone over every CSP feature to improve the in-game visuals. Obscene amount of work but worth it in the end. Still not there yet I feel, so these photos are not indicative of the release version. Enjoy!

All my mods come with machined and tweaked Slick, Semi-Slick and Street tyres. But I have learned recently from my friend's mod how to do custom textures for tyres. So I made myself custom extra textures to match the tyre compound. Depending on the tyre selected, it will show the correct thread, even wet tyres.
I have built some of the extended physics, though I'm not an expert in this area and I will ask for more help as I perfect it. Initially, the current version should be released ...

CSP code is about 50% done and VAO script about the same. Lots of little features to add and fine-tune, and then fine-tune some more. This is probably one of the most difficult and time consuming parts. It tires me how after the 3d model and the textures, and the shaders, and the data, and the rest..., there are pages and pages of code that then need to be built and meticulously adjusted so it looks good. I want to thank my Patrons and my supporters for allowing me the time t...

I've been very busy. I found an old 3d model given to me by Peter Crill, no textures or shaders, just basic 3d. I don't know where he got it, but I remembered I had it I've been reworking all the 3d from scratch adding textures and shaders, animations and much more. I have also made many new objects from scratch too. It has put back the release a bit, but it's worth it. 🙂 I'm hoping to have it ready in 2 weeks.

New vs Old.
Some comparison shots. 😉 Keeping in mind that my last version was very high end and most people could not understand how and why I would want to tear it down and rebuild it all from scratch. But really, the photos don't do it justice...
It still really bugged me the way the 3d was done for the seats and gaiters, with the stitching 3d looking fake. So I rebuilt the 3d and UV mapping to make it look better and more realistic. All the dummys are now ready for driver ...

I've made significant progress in the last couple of weekends. Getting there. Every 3d object has been rebuilt, every texture and every shader.
It will be far more detailed, with more features and much better textures and shaders than the last version. But it will be easier on simulation rigs.
I'm also hoping to have some cool driver animations for it too.
Data and CSP coding next. 🙂

F40 LM Lover found some skins from Alguecool and I have adapted them to this version, gave all the textures a full remaster and added cool colour schemes to match, plus realistic icons.
The update is ready so I'm looking forward to his release tomorrow.

Ferrari F50 (1995) WIP
Ok so..., I have optimised the 3d on the Ferrari F50, the Master and the Online version. I also did some more 3d work to allow for better animations for Acceleration, Brake and Clutch pedals. I improved some metal textures and I will rebuild the VAOs. I also added new, and improved many existing CSP features.
F40 LM Lover has rebuilt all the animation...

So today I took a break from the Renault 5 Turbo R work, to try out the same type of optimisations I did on the F50GT, on my F50. Just a bit of a test, I'm hopeful this will improve all my mods in terms of performance. Whilst the improvements on my F50 were modest, as I've already been trying to optimise it along the years, I still achieved more than 16% reduction in 3d object count. See below some of the improvements done today.
- Many 3d optimisations to bring the object count from 4...

I just want to thank you all for your patience whilst we make this very special for you all. This kind of quality takes a lot of time and effort and I am very happy my friend F40LM Lover also wants to achieve high quality and keeps improving things even if others don't notice, or they think it's good enough.
The F50 is getting some more CSP lights and shaders improvements, 3d optimisations, and some of the animations re-done. F40LM Lover said "the...
