Big thanks to Bombardier for help on impriving the mod after initial release!
Model and base textures: Forza Motorsport 4
Sound: 'AC Cars Reworked', tweaked via CSP.
Polish plates: Chris Goleador
Front lights model from Saab 9-3 SS mod by ACR. Sadly, FM4 model was just hopeless.
This project was hard, ngl. FM4 models are quite damn old, so excuse the quality of it, it's not level I'm aiming at, but I just had to bring this beast to the game! I made effort to fully rework all of the textures too, to minimalise the damage haha. And ofc i had to make a crucial mistake while converting car from Forza, so mesh is destroyed, especially interior [*]
Quick overview: Saab is a car from manufacturer of jet fighters. In the 80s, these dudes introduced one of the first turbocharged mass production cars - Saab 900, which sent the message to the world: "Turbo is f'ing cool". 900 evolved into 9-3, and Turbo X is the top version of it.
Changelog:
v1.1 - New Turbo X rims with corrected shaders, proper AO mapping the car, improving the interior (trying to fix broken mesh), adding automatic gearbox 3d model, generally making model more accurate thanks to Bombardier.
v1.2 - Added CM Paintshop support, improved physics, better automatic gearbox support (still WIP)
Jac0 tune (with track in mind)
v1.2j based on v1.2 from Blaze
- added skins
- raised suspension a bit so that the wheels don't hit the chassis when turning
- 10% increase in torque , little bit extra turbo power
- engine limiter allows higher rpm (up to 7000, but engine takes damage as of 6800!)
- brake lights fixed (thx norms !)
