There is definitely some fun to be had, its very much a 'momentum car', with lack of power and such high weight and drag, you really have to do your best and avoid scrubbing off speed, so its a unique challenge from the usual racecars and supercars. Wouldn't be at all the same without it, as it adds so much depth and character to the mod, and as well as a police livery kindly donated by to go along with the included flashing blue beacon lights (turn them on in the setup menu!) Interesting features? Well, its a diesel! How many of those are there in AC? I think the fact its been created over such a long period of time you do end up adding some small elements you perhaps wouldn't have otherwise (tax disc, glass codes, Top Gear Stopwatch, Flashing Beacon etc).Īlso a huge thank you to who produced the lovely diesel SFX quite a long time ago, 2016 I think.
