i was sick of aligning that wr driver set all the time in lightwave, this one just needs to be placed by the head coords in editcar! -^
Great stuff Gangsta -^
A Citroen XM, finally an addoncar in the game that I actually drove :D
Can't wait to try it out :racer:
Wouldn't it be cool if you could use the hydroactive suspention. Maybe an idea for WR2 ;)
EDIT: and its even the V6 version, perfect, just the one my granddad had :D

Awsome, that's just goingup and down from turning the key isn't it? I want airbags for one of my cars, and I've always admired Citroens for that feature.
Got them, Thanks Gangsta. took them all for a run around TC2 and the only thing I gotta say about the Ram.......Don't go too fast! :eek: The back end hops around like the real thing &( . :D I think I need sand bags back there to hold it down. ^_^
I did test the cars last night, they all look great.
Congratulations Gangster with every release your cars get better and better. -^ -^ -^
Great looking interiors, I hope your next cars will have moving sterringwheel and hands, the nonmoving sterring looks weird ;)
Now that your cars have a driver, I wonder if it would be possible to have a "driver update" for your Caddy as well ?
About the XMs handling, as you wrote in the readme its very fast and comfy for Autobahn runs. Thats true, the suspention is also great on bad roads and you can go very fast on uneven roads, but when it comes to cornering its not that good in real life. In the game the XM is as fast around some tracks as an E500 Merc with double the power. Same goes for the Jetta I think its handling is a bit optimistic as well.
I also seen the bouncy-bouncy rear axle of the Dodge, scary but fun :eek:
@VQ : When you start a Citroen the hydropneumatic lifts the car up from its parking position (very low) to normal driving height. You can manually lift it up (for bad roads & to change wheels) and lower it. Its great fun to watch the other people around when you make it go up and down while standing at a redlight ^_^

thanks that you all like the cars!
but thanks actually goes to Pumbars and Krazymond for them, except the jetta... :p
hmm, driver update for the eldorado... i'll have that in mind! ;)
yeah, jetta and xm could understeer a little more, but they're not too grippy i'd say...
(very) soon there comes a skoda octavia from me, this time with moving steering wheel! :D

Thx Gangsta for the nice new cars.What a variety we have now! The first pick up,and the first Citroen.I really like the XM,very well done.The Jeep is very good also,as is the Ram,but I think it's too slow for a Hemi V8.we're talking 300+ HP here. :cool:
Ric :beer:
The Citroen is nice, especially at Normandie. Taking the jumps at high speed and landing softly is a treat! :beer: Must be the suspension. ^_^

It's a French road caressing a French car's bottom. :D Would you expect anything else?? :p

I have never seen a moving steering wheel in WR :P
(it's my Geforce 4 MX4000 :()
