RDP

RDP Background Mod

Here's a little something-something for all of you that give me more than  you have to, thank you all of you!

Drop this file in your mod folder. It has 19 images that will show up on the main menu and loading screens. I can't actually remove the original images unless you modify the core game files, so once it cycles through RDP images on the main menu it will show the default ones still. The loading screens are random, sometimes you'll get my images and sometimes you'll get the or...

RWD vs FWD Compacts

I'm pretty much set on what the first compact will be. However, curious how the interest is split. Which are you more excited for?

Limited Olds Hotfix

Fixed olds braced rear, warping on some headers, Koch LS not having all the options, Vic fuel tank not appearing

Introducing Elliott Motorsports Headers

Players can now choose between 2 unique styles of headers from Elliott Motorsports. With 3 heights each, check out the Elliott 4-in-1 headers and turnout 4 packs. These are modeled after real Elliott headers so if you like what you see go over to Elliott Motorsports on Facebook and check them out. Available in the update post below!

Limited Olds Update #2

The Olds 98 is ready to compete in Limited Weld classes! While it will likely see strength adjustments as it gets to compete against vics finally, I think it's ready for shows. 

Tweaks to the olds - Softer S curve on stock frame, softer humps, softer in rear door area. New hood, trunk, and window bar variants.  Koch LS slightly tweaked and added to olds. Added adjustable height derby springs

Olds cradle reworked - The olds cradle has been swapped over to a pressurizing s...

Olds Limited Weld Update #1

Added a bunch of limited weld parts to olds, tweaked deformation and strengths. New creased body variants (They all perform differently!)

Fixed front brakes not appearing in parts list.

This will be the first of (likely) 2 updates for limited weld parts.

ADDED VICS TO FAIRGROUNDS DEFAULT SPAWNING! UPDATED ALL PRESETS FOR VICS!

If you want to delete your old presets and get my updated default presets, go to documents/beamngdrive/vehicles/rdpvic and /normalconfigs and ...

Fixed instability in loaded bumpers on stock ford frames

Olds Skins + Feel The Hits Update

Bumpers - Updated Vic bumpers to remove the upward flex from hits. Hits should have more impact and feel more solid now, rather than bouncing off of eachother.

1976 Olds 98 is now textured and able to be skinned!

Adjustments made to +2 Spindle, trailing arms, and slider strengths. Adjustments made to frame friction.

Adjusted all tires. Again. Please message me if you encounter the balloon tire glitch.

Improved collision on vics/olds in trunk, windshield, and fenders.&...

Thoughts Behind Frame Friction

I've gotten mixed feedback, some of it constructive and some of it not so nice, regarding the changes to frame friction. I'd like to discuss my thought process and intention behind these changes.

First of all, some of the newer patrons  don't seem to understand that when they download updates they are getting works in progress. Nothing is guaranteed to be the final version, and nothing is guaranteed to be perfect. When I originally made the changes to frame friction I di...

Which vic body style do you like the best?

Curious which body will get the most use. Assuming performance being ~equal, which is your pick?

Bubble Vic Update

NEW - bubble Vic

Adjustments - Lowered frame friction values from last update

Adjusted shocker suspension

Raised Koch Engine max RPM

Introducing Koch Performance LS Engines

Koch Performance's LS engines are being added to the game! You can get an early peek at these engines in the Vics. If you want an idea of what kind of power it will come with when finished, put the stage 3 block on it and get >700 HP! Until then, these will be worked on some more to figure out the proper power and cooling of these engines. 

Trucks Update + More

Hope everyone enjoyed the 4th and Freedom Bash. I've been adjusting and improving a lot of things, but here's some of what you can find in this update.

TRUCKS - These are NOT done. However, there is a "stock derby frame" with parts under it for derby trucks. Because this is a beam vehicle a lot of the parts are hidden with street parts, one of the things I don't like about using beam vehicles. Maybe a original truck will have to come eventually.

Tires - I've overhauled tires a s...

Olds 98 + Shocker Update #2

Front Tires - Redid all front tires. Trying to locate the "tire balloon" glitch. Unsure if resolved.

Olds & Shocker - Tons of changes and lots of new parts. Lots of trunk variations for both cars. Added 9 new leaf packs to shocker. Added rear window bars. 

New bumpers - Added 76 olds and chrysler pointy to all cars (still needs to be added to stock ford frames.)

I heard you...

You guys have asked... over and over.. and over. For 2 years.

Trucks are being worked on.

Compacts are on the way.

Olds 98 + Shocker Update

New Vehicle - 1976 Olds 98

Added Olds 98 to the game. I decided that I will work on this car parallel to the shocker. The progress on them will for the most part go hand in hand. Just like the shocker, this vehicle is early in development. It's  very drivable and ready for derby but it's going to change a lot before I'm done with it.

Huge adjustments to the shocker - I've adjusted all the the strengths, weight distribution of the vehicle, and adjustments to the front suspensi...

Are you happy with the Vics as an almost-final product?

I'm nearly closing in on finishing the vics, besides potentially more body types in the future. I have 03's to work on more, full weld frames, and kickers and some part variations like halos and bumpers. Is there anything else you'd like to see on to see on these vehicles before I move on? Let me know in the comments below.

Shocker Update #2 HOTFIX

Sorry for all the  small updates, hopefully this  is the last one before the big show next friday.

This version fixed the  03 wagon frame, fixed floor pan sticking, and adjusted wagon roof. 

Download - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RkbZC966vUwBZpCn6XOsCu6gaLWteTKV

Shocker Update #2

New #03Nation  parts!  Cradle and Steering setup now available. 03's now have stock suspension and 80s suspension swaps.

LOTS of deformation/model adjustments  to the shocker! This car might still be a little on the hard side of things as far as strength goes, but it should act and feel a lot more realistic than last update! New bumpers, lots of suspension tuning. 

New tires, new rims

Vic cradles now adjustable color

Shocker Update #1

 New Vehicle - 1976 Chrysler New Yorker 

This car is still very early in development! It's got an unfinished model, not very many parts, a lot of leftover parts from the car it was based off of, and it doesn't bend perfect yet! But for the amount of work I've put into it, I'm pretty proud of it.

BUGS - If you're getting just an engine  when  you load it in, try loading from the preset in the preset menu instead, or else go into the parts menu and pick the shock...

Crown Vic - Bonus Classes Update #6

Lots of new skins from Spring Nationals drivers!

New Presets! Want to clear your custom presets? Delete them from documents/beamNG.drive/vehicles/rdpvic

GET STUCK LESS - For a 3rd time! Further improved sticking.

ABOUT SKIN SALES - After doing about 20 of them for drivers, I have decided not to open up sales of them for the time being. They are incredibly time consuming, and I don't think I'd get any work done on the mod if I opened up sales. I know I told a lot of people th...

Crown Vic - Bonus Classes Update #5 - READ ABOUT DOWNLOADS

NEW DOWNLOAD METHOD - Apparently I've hit the file limit for patreon, so  I will be linking to a google drive file. Link Below. Click download arrow (should be top right) to download entire folder.

Skins are on the way, but I need to finalize some parts before I open up orders to the public!

NEW STUFF 

GET STUCK EVEN LESS - Further optimized tires, trunk floor, and rear bumpers from getting stuck.

Added new tube rear bumper, deeper dished trunk variant, and r...

What to do with the Grand Marshal

As you might know, the Grand marshal received an update from beam after I finished it. My Grand Marshal is a unibody car. I wasn't planning on redoing it because it would take a lot of time and would just be a vic clone. What I'd like to do is either leave it as it is, or I can add the bodies as options for the Crown Vic frames and remove the Grand Marshal as it is.

It's worth noting, I don't particularly like the grand marshal how it is now. The trunk will never be as nice as the vics ...

Crown Vic - Bonus Classes Update #4

Please read about bugs and installing at the bottom  if you're new to the patreon or having issues. 

GET STUCK LESS! I overhauled the collision on the bumpers, trunk floor, and tires. You're still going to get stuck once in a while but it's a BIG improvement. 

NEW PARTS

Added tons new rims, new solid tires

Added Gas Tank Protectors,  gas tanks, batteries,  and  trans coolers to interiors of vics
