@BenMcCall I wanted more backing going forth, but seeing how nobody would and how I dont have the time anymore, I'd say the project is dead. Sorry about that! I'd have love to seen them in GTA 5 myself!

@Yarm1995 I can't wait to try the Apache Panel Van and 600 SL!

@Yarm1995 I'd say, get to a point you think it's ready for 1.0v and officially release this long time in the making! I suppose there's a lot more mod parts coming after the initial release? What's your plans on other mod parts for the Catalina 2+2?

@Yarm1995, I couldn't find anything that was a problem, other than the exposed high raise's carburetors are red and the cap on the brake boaster is still green. The only thing I see now is add low rider liveries and add the other mod parts that you can, like the Moon hawk mirrors and other bits. Also, as a note, the rear view mirror disappears when you add the roll bar, but you still can add the lucky dice

Not that its anything bad, but any particular reason you changed the Catalina from Muscle Car to Sports Classic? I just took note of it

@Yarm1995 cool

Oooh you didn't say anything about a Deathproof livery. Any other livery?

@Yarm1995 Oooh, this is getting fun to see come together and actually be able to see a release date! I'm ready for the pre-release test car whenever you feel it's good for testing

@Yarm1995 Nice catch! I don't use trainers that can put down the window, but for those who do it's a nice touch! Does it get shot out like glass or does it stay even if the windows are broken out?

@Yarm1995 What's the news on the Catalina?

@GreenAid You're right, I just nitpicking the hood, even though it's my fault

I'm actually really grateful for Yarm's help and I guess I did get a little carried away, but sincerely @Yarm1995, Thank you for all that you have done, it's actually really awesome what you did for me!

@Yarm1995 I am happy with the progress and it was fun toying around with the new mod parts. So far, this is what I found searching bugs and as such

No Exhaust comes out on the Micro Phone Exhaust, but it does for the Side Pipe Exhaust

The carbs and brake cylinders are the wrong color, but I did notice that you corrected the terminals and the battery caps and they look great!

The 2+2 badge is still the interior color rather than brushed dark steel

When I'm at the mod shop and go to change the dice, the camera angle goes up too high. Also this version doesn't have a rear view mirror at all

This is just me, but to change the front bumper out for the Moon Tank requires you to go to Bennie's and do it. Not that's a bad thing, but it seems odd to me that its the only Bennie's part unless you're going to add more parts. If not, I'd move it from under tank to front bumper so it's easier to change out at regular mod shops

fenders don't brake off still

Blame this problem on me, but is there anything you can do to fix that by any chance? The first picture has the Bug Catcher on btw

This was more towards the end and I'm just nitpicking, but do you have a GM latching mechanism to add? It really doesn't matter, but if you want to add one, just tell me if you need me to make one and I'll send it to you asap

That's all I could find tonight. For the most part, other than the above and the names you are aware of, everything you did was great. If there's anymore mod parts you're going to put on, add them and sent me another beta my way and I'll give you feed back. If not, I'd say fix what needs to be fixed, take beautiful pictures and she's ready to be released!

Also, on a side note

Here's the blank

P.S. I just noticed that the Moon Tank '68 Charger gas cap is black, when the original was chrome. If you did that just to break up all the chrome, that's fine, I was just taking note of it and saying to be fully correct it have to be chrome. Not a big deal, just thought I point that out

@Yarm1995 Sounds good to me, send me the test model when you're ready

@Yarm1995 Looks fricken awesome! Any idea of when you can send the next beta to test?

@Yarm1995 that looks awesome. I guess it's ironing out textures, bug testing and then officials release!

@Yarm1995 looks promising to me. Good luck for the future!

Ps working at Amazon, I know what it's like to have no time to do what you really want to do, so I have sympathy!

@Yarm1995 cool, any update on getting tge other vehicle mods to work?

@Yarm1995 any updates on the Catalinam

@Biggdogg Thank you!

@Yarm1995 Okay, awesome, I'm glad it's finally coming out after two years! Boy it doesn't feel like two years though

@Yarm1995 anything new with the Catalina?

@Yarm1995 Sounds Good to me. If you want to skip the mod parts that replace stock parts for now until you can figure out what's wrong with them so you can release, I think it's almost ready for release. Have you tried any other mod parts by any chance? (Other than the side exhaust and stage hood)

@Yarm1995 I've been pretty busy my self, so I wasn't able to post what I found, but I did find a few things

When I was testing the mods, the hood makes body parts (Rear Bumper, Front Seats, Trunk Lid, The steering Wheel) disappear

It also messes with the exhaust addon as well

Also, the exhaust fumes don't exit out the side exhaust, they still exit out of the stock exhaust (which doesn't disappear for some reason)

The Passenger Windshield wiper's shift is sticking up instead of going into the body also (I forgot to get a picture of it)

The front fenders still don't break off, but I did notice you added the stock mirror (But you didn't make the 70's one a mod part yet). The grey grill part is corrected and the front license surround is corrected. The gauges also work too in first person!

If those problems clear up, and we get the other mods to work, it'll be ready to release. I don't see any other problems other than the ones listed above

P.S. does it have Livery support by any chance? Just asking

@Yarm1995 Any new updates on the Catalina or updated beta test versions for me to play with and bug test?

@Biggdogg here's some screen shots

It'd be really cool if someone made those into advertisements. I would myself, but I don't have photoshop, I just got MS Paint!

I think Yarm did a great job importing the model into GTA 5, tidy up a few loose ends and get the mods working and she's ready to be released!

P.S., All the colors are ingame colors except the Fountain Blue and the Fountain Blue/Dark Turquoise car's interior, that's custom. The Fountain Blue exterior's RBG is 100,125,150 when I put it into Simple Trainer's custom color mixer and the (Fountain Blue and Dark Turquoise cars) interior's RBG is 047,059,097, Pontiac's Bright Blue that year

@Yarm1995 The Catalina is almost ready to be released, but here are some things I noticed while fooling around in GTA 5. For one, I could break the rear bumper off much easier than the front bumper. The front fenders never broke off for me while in police pursuit. The body area below the headlights aren't double layered, so the underside is a mirror to what's above. The underside of the grill does this too, on top of the grill surround is body color instead of a flat acrylic aluminium. Also, the license plate surround on the front doesn't deform with the car in a car accident, it stays the shape it is no matter what

I know you removed tuning parts, but the two you left in weren't able to be applied, I don't know if that info is of any value. The 2+2 badge on the inner door card was missing, the outer door handle clipped through the door a little bit. The dealer tag extra and the arrowhead does the same on the trunk lid. Also, the stock shifter ball is white from the factory, I'm wrong, that's for Mopars of the same period that's true for, you're right

Also, you're still using the replacement mirrors from the Moonhawk as default

The brake cylinder is the wrong color, it's green! The battery caps are also wrong. I don't blame you for that one, since everyone in that time period used acid caps, but on AC Delco batteries (Which every GM uses parts from them) in the 1960's used yellow caps instead of the normal red caps for some reason. The terminals are also red for some reason when they should be gray lead color. As for the firewall and inner fender, I think I would have made them a flat black, but if they stayed a rusty finish, I wouldn't complain that much

This is a modeling mistake on my part, but could you close up the hole in the back of the drum by any chance?

Also, when the tires pop, the side wall doesn't go away with the rest of the tire for some reason and acts like it's the rim

I know it's not done, but the car seems to use Sabre Turbo's color palate, and it be really cool if @Greenaid would make up the factory color palate (Link: http://www.tachrev.com/Paint_Charts_Pontiac/1965_Pontiac_Paint_chart.jpg, Hint, Hint ;P)

On a bright note, I noticed you got the headlight lighting up right (Tops on first, bottoms are high beams). The car drives really nicely and as you'd think it would, even if it's not the fastest modded in car, you still think you're going fast. It look all there and I'm just happy I got to drive something I made in 3DS Max! I can't wait to start seeing this in people's modded games and all the mods working properly!
