Zakspeed Escort GR.5 W.I.P. #5

Hi there!

Just a pic dump, all can I say it’s close to the first release 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

Escort MK2 v0.2.4 (Sound hotfix REQUIRED FOR AC 1.0.9 RC)

PLEASE, DO NOT UPLOAD TO OTHER SITES! Share the Blog link.

To solve the new external sounds issue since v1.0.6 please download the mod again.

Updates:

Note 1: To the 1.0.9 version of AC, is strongly recommended copy the tatuus .bank sounds to each sfx folder renaming accordly each version of the escort. I’ll not do another update just to do that again.

Note 2: For some unknown reason the S1 version doesn’t work with AI anymore, I’ll try to solve this in the next update. When I feel motivated again.

UPDATE: some progress and first experiments with damage:

Zakspeed Escort GR.5 W.I.P.

Hi there!
So… This is what I’m working on from the past (almost) two months. Almost every f***** single minute of my free time. There’s a lot of work to do yet and I’m having hard times trying to make this thing without blue print, it’s almost a scratch made thing, and I’m planning to rebuild the full interior too (LHD!!!!). I know is not very accurate, but I think it’s ok.

But I’m not here (only) to complain and show photos. I need some help to find the detailed specs. Since it raced in Deutsch DRM late in 70’s it’s hard to find good info about it. In english. So if there are some good german souls here, please help me on this.

PS: The blog reached the mark of 10.000 views and I need to say, I never ever EVER expected such thing. Honestly. In less than a month! So THANK YOU GUYS!!! (And no, I’m not earning a dollar with this *insert grumpy cat face here* :P)
