Hey everyone! I've created a new RDP discord, which will serve as a central hub for finding people to play with. In it you can find servers, others hosting & looking for Fun Runs, teaser images, vehicle discussion, advertisements for shows, and more. I'm hoping that this will cut down on some of the spam that gets posted to the Addicts FB Page.

Adjusted Radiator break point
Fixed SMW bumpers Driver side corner rigidity
Note on SMW bumpers - I'm aware I'm missing the bumpers on limited shocker subs but wanted to get these fixes out quick. Also, please note that these bumpers will likely see some adjustments to their rigidity still.

New - Smith Metal Works SS and Point bumpers, available in stock and loaded configurations!
- These bumpers have a more complex design than other bumpers, with 2 rows of collision faces on the front of the bumpers as opposed to 1. This allows a flat surface on
top with a more forgiving angle at the bottom half of the bumper, and closer replicates SMW's real designs.

NEW - Added 1976 Oldsmobile 98 Wagon
Reworked Olds front frame - The stock and limited weld frames have been heavily adjusted, however the tilted frame still needs to be remade.
Adjusted shocker subs - This was sort of a half-update to the shocker, as they will need more work next update to bring their quality up to the other vehicles. In general, they should be a little softer and less springy
Redid 76olds presets - To see all of these, you may need to cle...

Hey all, smallish-update here as I'm in the middle of a few bigger things that aren't ready yet. Here's what's new
Adjusted olds front frame, big adjustments to trunk. I think the GM was the least realistic feeling car out of the 3, and hope to improve that with this update.
Added missing bumpers
Adjusted all suspension
Added bumper mounting options - these currently don't do anything, this is a work in progress.

I got a big update for you guys today. This could've been spread out to 2 or more updates but with RDP's Blizzard Bash coming up (look out for the official announcement) I wanted to put in some extra time to get a lot of work done! This is a very large update and has some incomplete work that will be updated soon, check below for a list.

Hope everyone's excited about the announced 94 lumina being made. With that on the table, I still wanted to get a good update out for you guys. Here's what's new
- Added/reworked adjustable coil springs. You now have options no front and back of the olds and vics for height, damping, stiffness. Note that in beam, increasing the stiffness of a beam also compresses the length of it, so turning up your ride height and stiffness all the way won't be very high.

This is, in my opinion, the best and most impactful update RDP has seen.
New - Stock Tilted Ford frames
Adjusted - frames and bumpers to be more rigid
Replaced shocker leaf packs with 3 adjustable height variations
WEIGHT - Most parts have had their weight increased by ~40%.
I have always thought that while small hits do an appropriate amount of damage, big hits never resulted in enough bending. That is changed with this update. Your limited weld cars will ...

Apologies for the long wait for this update. I ended up biting off more than I could chew, and was working on so many things that should've been 3 separate updates. I have a lot of unfinished work that isn't in this update but wanted to get something new out to everyone.

Typically when creating an original vehicle for beam, I start with an existing car from in the game and modify it heavily to be a new vehicle. The vics are based off of the grand marshal, as are the olds 98s. If you've been around long enough, you remember how long the dev process was on the Crown Vics. The original deformation testing phase was a 6 month long process, mostly catering to small details of how the cars bend and finding the appropriate overall strength. A lot of it was als...
