Thanks all!

I tried my best to make it close to real car. Though it was not easy to gather enough information on real car(not replicas).
Have you found any flaws or uncertainties?

ricersHA
No, it doesn't.

Stock EA spyder is not 550 actually. It is 550A.
550A and 550 are different cars.
Though EA made a lot of mistakes in their 550A.

Nice, keep making more cars for NFS5. Cars haven't been released for PU for a while.

Nice job egorOgr!
I really like how you made the engine lid open.

I have a question for you;
What do you use to edit cars? I am trying to make my own, but cannot find any progs to change the placement of lights, hinge axis, etc. Could you point me in the right direction?

Also, would you consider making some of the missing Porsches like the 924 and 968?
It would be a great addition to the NFS car collection, since EA left those two models out of the game (although all the logos/badges are present)

Thanks!

I use Zmodeler.
To change the placement of hinge axis you should move and rotate local axis of the desired part. But be careful with rotating as rotated local axis will cause its part to rotate also when exporting to crp.
To change the placement of lights you should move light dummies. Make sure that local axis is located in the middle of light dummy. You can rotate local axis to tune position of the light - it is easier than messing around with light definition matrix usually, I think.

I don't consider making 924 and 968 right now.
Well, EA left nearly all racing porsches and all concepts out of the game. So there are a lot of interesting cars to make.

Thanks egorOgr for your reply.

I too am trying to use Zmodeler, but having trouble. I am using the original version of Arushan's CRP filter...is that correct? When I import a crp file, its textures are not present. Also, when I export to a crp file and put it in place of an existing car, the game crashes when I try and load that car (somehow the crp is corrupt). I understand what you are referring to regarding axis and dummy placement, but I am not sure I understand which parts of the model they are (in the object window).
Any suggestions? I am really looking forward to finishing my 914 2.5 Sport.

Thanks!
