WIP (1970) BMW 1600 TI

Hi,
I have been now working on Brickyard Legends Legacy / Papag21's mesh, which was ment to be be BMW 1602 / 2002. The model work has been now in complete stop 4 years and as there's now team lead by Greg7 finalizing cars in their planned configuration (and with Papag21's permission), I thought that it has become time to me make the 1600 TI mod I planned releasing after BYL finishes their versions.

As I have old permission from Papag21 that I can do what ever I want with the 3D stuff he has done, I took the unfinished 1602 mod and 3 years old 1600TI physics and started looking how to make Papag21's 3D models really shine. :)

So, the target is cars that Alpina run in ETCC 1970 and won the Division 2 class.

So far I have done some small 3D work, chrome parts mapping, new template for the one bodystyle. There is 3 bodystyles which all are also shown in 1600TI Group 2 FIA homologation documents so I am trying to get them all included. BYL beta model had 7 different wheel styles but they all were with 15" wheels which is wayy to big for the 1970. So, I have converted (and fixed, these had wrong size as well) 13" wheels from "1970 Escorts" -Mod.

funnily enough, I planned this car to 2019 season already so the physics have been very close to be finished 3 years already.

There is still lot to be done, but as this is coming to NoGrip Legacy HTC season 2022, the release deadline has been set to February.

I am not the biggest fan of BMWs, but I can assure that more than anything I hate is sloppy modding, especially if it's done by me so expect no less quality than Gianninis. ;)

 
Car has now reached 0.8 beta stage. This mod did got bigger while doing it and it will incorporate both 1600Ti and 2002Ti. Both will be representing Group2 cars in 1970, so 2002Ti for example will have around 200 hp. There is mod in works by other team including 1602 and 2002 which means they are from 1971 and later and so provide much higher performance.

So, what I did after last post:
- rescaled the wheels / rims once more. (2 styles having 3 colors each)
- added 2002Ti/1600Ti eblems as genstring options
- updated all three bodystyles with new chrome materials, removed 1602/2002 markings.
- did new Mask textures for all 3 bodystyles and made some work to templates.

Stuff still to be done before I send the beta car to skinners:
- two templates (one for bodystyles 2 and 3 & one for bodystyle 1)
- genstring manual.pdf
- placeholder physics for 2002Ti
- example skin for 2002Ti.

Not that far away anymore. :)
 
This looks great so far! Happy to see gtl modding is still alive!

Ps: is BLT's complete work still available? I lost some of the cars a while ago due to SSD failure...

Some of them are here. But as far as I know, the last place where all mods were as a whole was Nogripracing.
