Mod The Flintstones Car 1.0 for BeamNG.drive
The car is very heavy and slow because it's only propelled by 2 humans with realistic strength. It won't go up any hill and the acceleration and top speed are very bad. It also doesn't turn because I have no idea how that would realistically work. The brakes are not very usable at high speed either. The only sensible way to use it is to go downhill and crash. Obviously it's extremely unsafe due to being a runabout (old vehicle body style which has a soft roof without a windshield and A-pillars, it evolved into the roadster body style) and being halfway made of wood. The roof wobbles a lot because of badly designed support, the rollers can just pop out of their holes and fall off, and pretty much every part can be separated, the wood branches and canopy can also be shredded to pieces.
Due to the fact that this only took me 2 days to make and was pretty rushed, there are some more issues, for example there is no 'suspension' of the driver and passenger legs so it's impossible to drive off-road and you will get stuck on the smallest bumps. But it's not like you would have the torque to go off-road anyway. It could also use a steering system which I failed to make, and it would be cool to add some dummies with animated legs to it, these are the plans if I ever want to update it. Maybe some more configs too like with unrealistically big torque to match how it drives in the show and some other ones. Probably I won't be making any more cars from the Flintstones even though there is a pretty big variety of then, maybe someone else can do it.
Some trivia I found out about this car:
'Canopysaurus' is not just the brand name, but also the vehicle class. (Or maybe just the class and the brand is unknown?) It's a stone age equivalent of today's minivan.
The '93 production year probably stands for 9999993 BC.
Some cars in the Flintstones universes come with dinosaur powered engines and the legs are only used as starters in them. It is usually reserved for sports and luxury cars.
The steering wheel does nothing and nobody knows why it's there.
Have fun! |
