Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400: Tutorial

[T1M]

Hai

 

Here's a tutorial for a AMV8 N400 in TDU, not 100% correct but it's close enough! ;)

 

REMEMBER TO BACK UP YOUR FILES!

 

First off, you need this mod for the AMV8.

 

[C:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Vehicules - copy + paste the .bnk file in the mod folder into there, if it asks to replace, accept it]

 

Secondly, you need the M5 E60 mod wheels on the AMV8. Not perfect, but they'll do. You can use the R8 wheels if you want though.

 

[C:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Vehicules\Rim\Aston]

 

You must rename the Rim file to AMV8_Cpe_F_02.bnk to replace the origional rims.

 

And, lastly, the orange paint. Here's a screenshot of the colour in the Deluxe paint shop:

That's near enough, so we'll just use that for now ;)

 

Here are some pictures of the finished product:

If only someone could to a basic re-texture of the grille to make it look like the 2009 model one.

Does this mod also has this?

[T1M]

Nope, alas not :sulk:

[wolfie1984]

I've started work on a proper N400. There are no promises that I can get the Nurburgring logo to work, but I'll give it a shot.

Note that it's still WIP and is NOT released... yet. :)

With the generosity of Tool, The N400 now has the nurburgring logo working. I was thinking of doing the sideskirts, but that might be a little too difficult for a noob :p Unfortunately, no screenshot as I'm currently watching a film :) If I can't do the sideskirts, it should be released pretty soon.

[T1M]

Just seen this :eek:

 

Are you still working on it Spongeh? Looks great in that picture :)

[Sponge]

Yeah, slowly XD. I was going to do the sideskirts, but I really can't be bothered haha.
