some new and updated parts

hi, so as i mentioned in the last post, i have some new and updated parts to post, so here they are :D.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cibie Airport 35 pack v2

adapted to the kino's new custom light functionality, so they actually work now. they turn on toghether with running lights.

besides that i also ditched the L/R setup and theres just one in the middle now, imho makes it easyer to fit them.

other than that its still the same

s14 zenki pack v2

v2 of my zenki pack. the headlights, foglights and brakelights in the spoilers are now fully functional, other than that i also edited the grilles allitle bit so you can see the radiator behind them as you should. i also added zenki badges and the part names in the list looks much more tidyer now, and some other not so important things. this version contains 20 parts.

theres a few things to know:

-sadly you cant just copy the body color and its there, you will have to play with it and make it abit darker. thats a bug that happens to about all paintable custom parts and i cant do nothing about it.

-to use any of the sideskirts included in this pack, first select any aftermarket sideskirts in the catalog, and then disable them in kino

-unlike the v1, actually get rid of the kouki lights this time. select the "empty" ones in the catalog, do not disable them via kino, it doesnt work propertly.

-the side badges dont fit toghether with navan sideskirts (or probably any sideskirts lol), thats not a bug, nissan didnt put those on navan cars, so i havent bothered doing them, lol

yabitu touge (carx)

hi, so as mentioned in the last post, im back with another map, this time yabitu touge, originally made by TAKAHIRO for rfactor :D. i actually done this map once before for gta, while its pretty short i still quite like it, so i decided to get it in carx aswell. truth to be told, i havent converted it fully, this was originally converted by SAYAKA years ago but it never got finished and relased. after i got it i figured i might aswell finish it myself, lel.

besides the same things i fixed on the gta one, such as some uv map issues and stuff like this, i also remodelled pretty much the entire grass aera and added a bunch of tree lines to make it look like its not a floating road in a void. i also reworked the powerlines abit to make them look nicer, and other small stuff like that.

this is actually a first carx map i messed with, even before hiroshima and nikko. after these 2 i figured to come back to yabitu and do some changes to make it right as i figured out some things with the other 2 haha.

all in all i think it ended up pretty good and despite its very short lenght, its real fun to drive on :D.




as per usual lately, i also made a preview video for it:

that will be all for today, i have some new and updated car parts to post, so see you soon ;)

jzx100 cresta and some wheel updates

hi, after few maps its time for another build, lel. i wanted to build a big body car this time around, carx have quite a few to choose from, so i decided to go with jxz100 cresta, as i never done one of those before, lel. this time around theres also essentially no custom parts for once, other than the obligatory ultranorsk and my recaro seat, even the wheels are the game's original assets, atleast for now haha. look wise its pretty simple, oem twotone paint, bnsports half kit, and some stickers here and there, and thats about it really, power wise, its once again relativelly low hp as per usual, making around 300hp. i think it ended up pretty good :D.

i actually started this one even before the zenki s14, as i was waiting for the sticker pack update to really finish it the way i wanted haha.


now, in the header i mentioned wheel updates. kino mod have relased an update that, besides other things improves the custom wheels. theyre much easyer to install now, they sync now if you play online (aslong as the other ppls have it installed aswell, and if they dont you can set a similar original wheel to show instead), you can make custom icons for them for the menu, and also theyre encrypted now, very nice.

so ofcourse i went and updated all the wheels i made so far to this :D. installation now is really easy, just put the .knpp file into KN_Base\car_parts folder and its there. i also took the downloads of the old fbx versions down, by the way.

besides adapting them to the new system, i also made a menu icons for all of them and fixed all the weird shadow bugs they had when the wheel wasnt on direct sunlight.

anyways, here we go:

nikko circuit

hi, so here goes another new map for carx, nikko circuit this time :D. someone might be like "wait, didnt you do nikko before?" rn and yes, this is actually 4th nikko i have done over the past 13 years lmao

this time i essentially combined 2 maps into one. road layout, some of its surrounding areas and some other details are from frlegends nikko, and pretty much everything else comes from my third version of the old nikko for rfactor by MIAMIAK, that i already reworked quite heavily back then. ofcourse combining 2 tracks into 1 meant that i had to remodel and retexture it even more, lel. i also remodelled the entire hill next to the straight and put a shitton of trees there to make it more accurate, made a fake hill next to the track so it doesnt look so empty there and some other details like updated signs, buildings placement etc. i gotta say some of details like this might not be 100% accurate as they seem to change stuff like this pretty often even irl and personally i find the road layout more important, but hey, its still better and more up to date than the original rfactor one is haha.

anyways, i think it ended up really good and im very happy with the result :).




and just like with hiroshima from the last post, i also made a preview video for nikko :D.

so here it is :).

that will be all for today, so i will see you next time with who knows what, lmao.

speedway hiroshima circuit

...well, it didnt took long and im now messing with custom maps for carx aswell lmao. anyways hi, so here goes my first custom map :D. well technically its a second one, but more about the first one in another post. this one is a speedway hiroshima, despite it was around only for 4 years irl, its still one of my most favorite japanese circuits :D. if you follow me for longer time, you might remember that i have done hiroshima for gta twice already, first one i made from scratch 11 years ago, and second one that was a 90sGDSP one from asseto that i have converted few years back. this time around im once again using a completely different mesh, its originally from FR Legends. for how low poly it is, its actually pretty nice and accurate, just the textures and some details are lacking, so i ended up retexturing allmost the whole thing :D. besides retexturing i also did some slight remodelling, mainly on the trees and paddock buildings to add some details and such. ofcourse i also made allmost every texture to have an normal map, so the map doesnt look like made out of plastic ingame, lel.

all in all i think it ended up pretty good, still simple and low poly, but good looking :D.



and since pictures usally dont do maps justice, i also made a preview video, wich is something i havent done in years now lol.


thats probably all there is to it, so here it is :D

 so this is all for this time, i actually have 2 maps in the works, but more about that later. so until then, see ya ;D.

S14

hi, so here goes another build in carx :D. an navan s14 zenki this time. i cant even remember when was the last time i did anything with any s14, but its been years for sure lol. this time around essentially everything on this car is my own custom parts because carx zenki quite sucks, so i just went and spent week fixing it, lol, but i will go into more detail about this futher down this post. other than thats its relatively low hp build, somewhere around 300hp. very happy with this one :D.


not gonna bore you with my stupid blabbering anymore, i think the pics speak for themself haha. as per usual there are some relases to go trough, so here we go:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

s14 zenki pack

zenki in this game is fucking terrible, so i set on a week long journey to fix this pile of shit. it contains 17 parts such as oem bumpers, grille, some oem acessoryes such as fog lights and a lip for stock bumper, and also a full navan bodykit. majority of it was made from scratch by me, using some parts from 41aeimi as a base. as per usual just load it in, no moving necessary.

theres a few things to know:

-sadly you cant just copy the body color and its there, you will have to play with it and make it abit darker. thats a bug that seems to happen to quite a bit of custom parts and i cant do nothing about it.

-to use any of the sideskirts included in this pack, first select any aftermarket sideskirts in the body catalog, and then disable them in kino

-keep the kouki headlights in place, do not disable them. this overlays them fully, so the headlights will still work

recaro sr3 pack

now that removing body parts with kino is a thing, i figured its about time i bring these old recaros ive been using in gta for years over to the carx too. no idea who made them originally, but i have reworked them quite a bit over the years.

i also made some new patterns etc, everything is based on the real sr3's.

thanks to a few members of hipshake discord server for some of the textures i used

another ae86 build

...and also another yellow one, sitting on white wheels, what can i say, i like this look, haha. anyways hi, i have finished another build in carx, another ae86, a coupe this time. cant even remember when i done a coupe for the last time again, lol. this one is a more modern approach than the hatch i done earlyer, its not even the lowest hp possible this time around, lel. the look of this is pretty simple, goodline front bumper, trd style rear wing and white te37's, cant go wrong with that :D. i made the goodline bumper and te37s myself, but ofcourse there is some more custom parts on this one, haha. i originally wanted to make some kind of livery for this one, but the uv map of this model is kinda fucked, so i just did some stickers on the windows, wich looks good too.


so yeah, not gonna bore you with anymore blabbering, im pretty happy with how this one turned out :D. as per usual im gonna relase some the parts i made to make this possible, but this time around there are also some relases unrelated to this build. so here we go:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ae86 coupe improvements

really had no idea what to name this lol

contains stock mirrors from hatchback version, rear licenceplate lights, trunk trim that goes in between rear tails and paintable sidetrims in more realistic size (the ones i made for hatch dont fit the coupe too well)

mirrors, sidetrims and platelights are paintable

just load it in, no moving or scalling is necessary

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ae86 levin goodline front bumper

made from scratch by me, using a few pieces of the stock ingame bumpers as a base

for coupe, just load it in and its there, no moving necessary. for hatchback, just move it up allitle (Y:1.380)

just load it in and its there, no moving and scalling necessary
