Hi all , i want to install a car we see currently in the USA on a car we see often in GTA , the primo . but i don't leave in the US , any ideas . i'm looking for a realistic game . thx

[RoadRunner71]

I'm not american, but I've been there, anyway keep reading: what I did before visiting the USA, and I still do haha, is looking in the Google Street View, it helps

The traffic varies depends the city I'd say, but in most there are too many european and japanese cars, however Detroit has almost only american cars of almost all ages, even muscle cars...

I'd say in New York most that are are Lincoln Town Cars, Suburbans and Escalades, and Ford E-series and Chevy/GMC vans. Ford Crown and Ford Escape taxis and there are also many Nissan Altima/Sentra and toyota camry, bmw and Hondas. There are also Cadillac DTS, Chrysler and Toyota vans...

Check out the Street View: New York

Detroit:
Detroit

So for a more present day city I think you should take a look to New York, or other american city, but if you want to include more age only american cars, Detroit.

I'm originally from New York and I would say that one of the best cars to put on the Primo would be Bigfoot2003's Cadillac DTS. It slightly resembles the Primo and when you get into areas of New York City, like RoadRunner71 said, they can be common.

very good idea roadrunner . i'm surprised to see how much Lincoln there are in NY . but as there are no nice Lincoln model out there , the DTS will do it nice . i used a soft to modify the original handling . the engine was too noisy for a Caddy . i added a bit more of drive inertia and a bit more of grip and now it's perfect . i didn't install a muscle car because i like american cars and all the classic (Cuda,Chevelle ...) are already installed . Thanks

No problem

Chasez is working on a Town Car sedan and limo, and in some other models like the GMC Savana that will give to the game a great realism touch =)

Scroll down a the page until and you see them

can't wait for that Lincoln . but i'm not here for that reason . i needed help again concerning realism . can somebody confirm (or infrim) the Ford Falcon XR8 is a car we can meet on USA roads . cause i made a great handling for that car but i want realism , absolute realism , and i have a doubt this is an australian market car only ?? thanks

[ZBNYNC]

Nope, the Ford Falcon XR8's aren't available in the U.S. only in Australia.

[jpm1]

arghhhh . i've made a very cool handling for that car . i'll have to remove it but before doing so , here's the handling for those that have the falcon installed

(CHAVOS) 1740.0 0.2 85 0.0 0.1 -0.7 0.0 6 0.185 1.0 250.0 0.22 0.540 0.29 35.0 1.20 1.00 12.0 0.15 0.4834 1.9 1.5 1.5 0.15 -0.15 -0.01 0.5 1.0 0.6 1.0 1.5 0.0 13000 440010 0 0 (realistic number gears,traction mode and top speed . also mass but not sure that value is considered by the game same as in real life )

thanks for the help !

[jpm1]

If you're still wondering, I suggest that the Caddy DTS is not what you're looking for. You'll see a lot of them in Midtown, for example, and when you hit Jersey for sure, but it's a full-size modern luxury class. It's not the proper opposite number to the Primo, which is supposed to be a slightly older model midsize, kinda-sorta close to an early 90s Mercury Sable or even a Ciera. A good equivalent to try and track down would be the fifth-generation Chevy Malibu. OTOH, good luck finding a model.

I think the Town Car is an alright bet, but in the city that's almost exclusively a black car. Sure some people buy oldies for personal wheels just like CVPIs, but you don't see those as much in a lot of Manhattan, although they'd be right at home in Queens and Brooklyn. IMO a LTD Crown Vic would be less of a stretch and there are mods and textures for it out there, like this guy.

[sietch]

BTW and FWIW, the Burrito Frankenstein in the pic is aiming for a middle ground between a Chevy C/K 2500 with a box bed and some kind of Mitsubishi/Hino cab-over-engine truck. The Chevy C/Ks and GMC 3500HD work trucks still abound in cities, including NYC. If you can a model, it would be realistic.

thanks but when i wrote that thread i didn't know of the vehicles group edition . it solves the problem . i think the Chevy Malibu wouldn't be a bad choice but there aren't any out there as far as i know 3 . Concerning the Chevy truck , thanks , that was the info i was looking for .

[RoadRunner71]

I'd say 2007-nowadays Silverados and its equivalent in GMC, GMC Sierra, and also Ford F-250/350 and 450.
Also, now we have Chasez GMC Savana, the traffic turns much more realistic.
