Nodes messed up, looks like situation after some 3dsimed edit, need to be replaced.
If they were contacted by a car manufacturer they would soon remove anything.
Hypocrisy might be a bit of a strong word for this, but it's feels close to it yeah. At least, since money is involved.
The problem will always be people taking from other games content, then monetizing it, THEN going all IP lawyer if someone dares to alter the physics or whatever on it.....
Some little things must be changed e.g. the (Alfa had rwd instead of fwd) , but all in all really nice mods!
Its always the point at which level it is done. If its ok for a person to do a job 8 hours a day and another 6 hours doing the mod, sleeping and the next day the same. Every day the same procedure. Do this for months and you ask yourself, why i'm doing this? I mean its nice if the people say thank you and it makes you proud, but it kills your life. So the model to pay for a good content is also the way to support the creator, to give them the time to do the mod and pay the bills.
I hear you man. The thing is, I think most people have gotten to a place where they "expect" other people to pay for a mod, especially in AC, since they have seen how much Ilja is making through patreon. I don't blame people for wanting to get paid (including you) but as you said, you do it "for pleasure" and at the end of the day, that's what really matters. If you expect people to pay you, and almost no revenue comes in, you will be disappointed (applies to everything in life, where you have expectations). But remember this; Ilja started out making nothing as well, so maybe if you stick through it and you keep updating and improving, nice things might come!
I also like hot hatches and especially this one

I don't regret not getting paid for my mod, I do not share my mods with that purpose, I indeed set-up a "buy me a coffee" donation for my mod, After more than 7k download only 1 person acknowledged my work and made me a donation, I don't judge those who open patreons for any single stupid thing they make forcing you to donate basically, but on my part I leave this donation discretionary and not compulsory. I don't expect anything moneywise and that's fine. There is something I don't like though, those who don't credit me for what they show in their videos, or those who claim they made a reshade mod while they took mine and added/removed a couple effects to their liking and getting subscription dor literally nothing, this piss me off, and I understand that because I am the creator of the mod, they are not even smart, after I edited and created Sky sports live watermarks, a lot of YouTube sim racers post videos with my watermarks , how do I know that? Because before making those watermarks , nobody had them in their videos , am not stupid, or maybe I am, sharing my mod for free to people who don't deserve,but still I do that because I like, for myself and good people are out there that deserve itI hear you man.

Just as a reminder: I myself have a mod that have had some 4-5k downloads and I've made ~30 euros from it, which took me some 400hours to do (still not complete) but that is life. I did it because I wanted to and yes, it would have been great if more people donated, and I probably would have made more if I sold it for just 1 euro but at the end of the day, how many free and fantastic mods have we gotten from this community? All in all, keep doing what you do, improve, share it on more forums/sites and maybe great things will come
Thanks, I'll take a look. Might not get a chance until Friday.
I can live with that, it even happens with some Kunos cars.
