Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- This is the Gavril Scout! It might be BeamNG's most anticipated mod but it costs $4 to purchase. In this video I'll review this European compact van mod and put its 32 configurations to the test! This is another mod from LucasBE who also made the Cherrier Picnic hatchback mod.

For those wondering about the head tracking camera in this video, I use "Track IR". Specifically TrackIR 5 with Track Clip Pro.
How does that work anyhows?
is it vr?
or screen moves to track face
www.trackir.com
It would be logical enough that we'd see Gavril in the European market with this mod, like how Ford was for many years now.
Yeah that's true!
If I recall correctly the tourneo connect is also based on the Caddy?
@@adamporter3402 The newest generation uses the caddy platform yes.
Looks like a nice mod, unfortunately I am not in the habit of paying for single cars
Yeah it can feel weird paying for cars but because I'm into Train Sim and Flight Sim its totally natural to me these days XD
@@SimulatorAdventures and its way cheaper too then Flight Sim, imagine needing to pay 70 euros for this
@@flopjul3022 Exactly! Lol
@@SimulatorAdventures same
*Laughs and then cries profusely in iRacing*
The interior is from a Citroen Berlingo/ Peugoet Partner , and the outside is of VW Caddy. I like the combination
Yeah me too. It's a nice interpretation of a generic Euro style van, and I actually think it's quite good looking!
It could be also inspired by a Dacia Dokker or a Ram Promaster City
also Dacia Dokker influence
You should check out the Toyota pro ace city's interior, closest look-alike I've seen!
Edit: The Peugot, Citroen, and Toyota look near identical XD probably to save on design costs or sum.
I think there's a chance that beamng devs could reach out to the mod author and ask him if they could implement his car into the game officially, it's honestly so high quality and fits the game very well
Yeah that could happen!
It wont happen coz they would need to send him money from every new payment for this game, bcs content made by him is included, and its not about the money, but about the organisation around…
@@Johngloger It wouldn't have to be like that, they could just ask him and pay him to let them use their idea or just give him a contract to implement this into beamng offically, this could be done in a lot of ways
@@voytec448 or they can go the collosal order(developers of city skylines) way and just hire him. Collosal order hired the dude who made a really good mod for cities skylines called Intersection Marking tool, Node controller and another insanely good mod.
I was very fortunate to have early access to this mod, and after driving it and recording a showcase before the public release, I can say that this mod is definitely worth it.
It's fun to drive, has tons of attention to detail, it's super functional, and so much more that I could ramble on about.
It hits all the right spots for a quirky, lore friendly BeamNG vehicle. It feels like a developer designed it!
Yeah I would have loved to check this out earlier 😭. The van is such a great mod it really could be in the base game, and I love the way it looks!
The problem is that you can't have a good price for paid mods if compared to the price of the game. You had to sell map/car for about 0.57 $ which would be a "fair" price
Allo there
Also why I said why pay for it is because there are always leakers, People simply don't seem to follow regulations and laws put in place and will still go against them.
the only problem i have is that gumroad doesn't accept my debit card so i cant get it unfortunatly
3:27 In the backround, you can see a airline that says "Volitalia" which is parody of Alitalia, an airline in italy
It kinda makes sense for this to be called a Gavril, because the VW Caddy and the Ford Tourneo share a platform. (Ford Tourneo was built on VWs MQB platform)
5:33 imagine going to turn the volume down and the van starts going backwards 💀
Haha I didn't think of that 😂
@@SimulatorAdventures however it's still a great mod and you did a great review of it, i might have to buy it!
This van in my opinion gets a 5 star crash safety rating cuz it held up strongly even when it crashed into a barrier at 95 mph. Amazing!!
That van honestly looks like a dev car lol
Looks really nice, I would totally look into this if I played beam more haha
ps Sliding door is what wins me over
Yeah it's a great mod and the sliding door is definitely the icing on the cake!
When you pit someone you have to first make contact and then slightly turn into them on the side of the rear bumper or the rear quarter panel to spin them out. Hitting them in the rear doors won’t do anything but cause you to loose control.
3:30 i have driven VW Caddy's(this mod is heavily influenced by it) and due to it being on the MQB Evo platform its comparable to the VW Golf. I have driven both a manual(1.0L TSI 101hp, 175 N-m/129lbf-ft of torque) and automatic(2.0L TDI 150hp Diesel, 340N-m/250lbf-ft of torque) VW Caddy from the previous generation(the 2015 Facelift) and they drive very nice, not as nice in a small town as lets say a Opel Corsa but comparable to the average mid size European SUV(i.e. Renault Kadjar, Volkswagen Touareg, Opel Grandland....)
you really want a diesel if you haul cargo tho and i do prefer an automatic(but thats because i prefer Diesel with an Automatic due to the rpm)
beamng could start like adding these high quality mods into the game as default if their creators give permision to.
Mein pc wenn es so wäre:☠️
Just wanted to say your camera work is the best I've seen yet in the beamng community 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
@@SimulatorAdventures Is it like a VR headset you wear while you play, or is it almost like a eye/face tracker thing?
I've been watching the development of this mod for a while now and I can definitely say this is one of the best mods in beamNG
Yeah it's been a long time coming but it's been worth it!
I was waiting for this mod for such a long time, glad that it's finally out. Well worth my 3.80€
Yeah I definitely think its worth the price! It's got loads of detail and could easily be a vanilla vehicle
not only is the mod top notch but the quality of the video is also top notch, greate review!
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching 😸
I see that this vehicle mod was inspired by the citroen minivan, definetly highly detailed and good looking clone of it. 10/10 in my opinion.
I have the mod and i love it however I feel like it can use some other engine option along with a EV version as well as some other body type like a longline or a extended roof but never the less amazing mod definitely needed in beam
I think LucasBE said they're adding an EV version soon
Actually, It's also based on the European version of the well-known Ford Transit Connect, a small van, just one step below the Ford Tourneo, and one step above the Ford Transit Courier.
Gonna need to wait for some russian to leak it
😐
the mod being a gavril/ford still makes sense. the 2023 ford tourneo connect is a vw caddy badged as a ford too, so it still fits
Very good looking and deffinetly has alot of good detail, I liked that the delivery actually had packages in the back, I would consider buying.
This is the only mod I have actually really considered to buy because I love vans lol
Yeah I love vans too and it's definitely worth buying 😀
Since Gavril is something like Ford or Dodge, I can totally see the Gavril Scout being a RAM Promaster City.
In my mind putting the Gavril name brand on the car makes quite a bit of sense considering the fact that Gavril is supposed to be a Ford / GM mix in the Beamng universe and as Ford's equivalent to the Caddy, the Transit Connect share pretty much the same platform and look quite identical appart from the styling. thus putting the Gavril brand on a car that is essentially the same as both the Caddy and the Connect is only logical.
I hate paid mods because this game has a ton of cool mods that have the same quality as the paid ones
They are good. Period. The idea we can get amazing mods and devs can get paid from this makes devs want to make better and higher quality mods. At the end of the day nearly every paid car has a free demo version including this one so if you don’t wanna spend money you don’t have to
@@parkergray5346 i don't have card
Pirate it.
@@keen283 how
@@jkr_gaming4109 wait a few more weeks
Ngl this gives me Transit Connect vibes
I feel like the Gabriel would be based on more American-European vans, like the ford transit.
Sporty variants of vans/minivans I know:
Renault Espace MKIV 3.5 V6 - essentially the result to the question: "What happens when we shove a Nissan 350Z engine into a FWD minivan and give it a 6-speed auto"
Mercedes R63 AMG - It counts as a Minivan, although Mercedes tried to give it its own class. It has 505 brake HP and does 0-60 in around 5 seconds, which is insane considering it weights 2.3 tons. This and the ML63 are the only AMGs you can get with AWD. Even the basic R-Class does 0-60 in less than 7 seconds.
Renault Avantime V6 - A french Two-Door - yes, two doors - Minivan with quite a bit of power from a 207 HP 3.0 V6.
Chevrolet HHR SS - It uses the engine from the Cobalt SS, so a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder with around 260 HP.
Ford S-Max 2.5 - This is a Ford Minivan with a secret, a 2.5 liter Volvo Inline 5. It sounds great, and it does 0-60 in 7.2 seconds.
The Caddy is basically a transit connect or whatever, theyre the same van nowadays, look almost identical
Finally Caddy - like car mod in BMNG!
I hope the developers can make this vehicle in game original
I would like Lucas to add a high-roofed version of the passenger bus
That would be cool!
As someone used to assetto corsa dlcs, 4$ doesn't seems excessive... but i would prefer it to be official from beamng
05:29 those hub caps look like Tesla Model Y's hub caps
In Italy the (local) police uses vans to get on car crashes. The state police uses mainly for riots.
Just yesterday i found out about this mod and wasnt expecting it to release today
Already had it, is a very cool peugot partner van equivalent in the beamng universe I love seeing cars in beamng drive that resemble the cars form were I live
Tbh I think the demo is really nice for this car. Would have expected it to have a few buttons you can use on the dashboard
To me, this van is a Ford Transit Courier.
So it makes sense that she is dubbed to be from the UK and Gravil made her.
Gravil is the rough equivalent of Ford/Chevrolet in-game
But it's actually a Caddy
Nice video! I'm also new in beamng content! Gavril is perfect for rp if you ask me.
Welcome aboard!
the gavril scoout demo is out for those people who want to test it free
An actually good in-depth review, props to u mate earned a subscription.
Ps this video has also made me consider a g27 lol
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the channel. Yes my G27 has been reliable for 10 years now, its an old wheel but if you can find a good used one you can't go wrong.
I bought this mod and I can happily say it's worth the £/$4
i think that this might be based on a citroen berlingo because it looks like the same to m e or atleast the tailights.Ive already bought this mod and i can say that its really good and im hoping that lucasbe will be giving us some more updates or mods:D
Very thorough review and video, well done really. This is a cool mod and certainly fills a missing niche in the game, however in my somewhat biased opinion it is not worth the money. It is an inherently good mod, but I wouldn't download it myself even if it was free. Reason being, I only like mods that are built from the ground up, engine, suspension design/underside and all. While this mod is very detailed, it is clearly just a Cherrier FCV platform if you look underneath. Still, you could make the case that it's lore friendly, as many European brands do similar cross platforming, IE Renault and Dacia, the Opel Corse/Peugeot 208, etc. Not to mention Daimler/Chrysler in the early 2000's. I'm a stickler with mods, but I still have to commend the creator of course. Lots of cool details and functionality, and really a dev quality vehicle.
That's fair enough. I love custom engines in modded vehicles and yeah as far as I know this car has the Cherrier engines. It would be nice to see more original content from this mod although LucasBE does plan to update this mod with further things like EV variants at no further cost to the people that bought the original mod.
@@SimulatorAdventures indeed, which I can at least understand cause new engines and suspensions take a while to develop. It is good the updates are free at least, and I’m sure he’ll make more cool/original stuff in the future
I wish all mods looks realistic like this
This mod came out today on my birthday and it's great
I think the weird glass is supposed to be the sun getting reflected by the cracks, it can happen in a real car but it's still kind of a random thing to add to a mod
That interior looks identical to the current Opel Combo XD
No, it’s a cheerier with a different body and a few other bits and bobs. I’m not saying I can do this sought of thing but also people do mods this good for free.
This is the kind of review I was looking for. U got a new sub=) I wonder if there will be a hybrid variant one day because I heard there might be one coming on the Caddy irl
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed the video 😸
It's a Gavril due to it being a loreified version of the new Ford Transit Connect, which is a slightly altered VW Caddy and Gavril = Ford
Yeah that explains it
SubieBerry gifted this to me and this mod is so good! Definitely a must-buy if you're looking for a modern van.
thanks for showing it because now im sure to buy it before i was like ah maybe im not sure but nor im 100% sure that i want it and i will get it today or tomorrow or so
What an amazing mod ❤
Love the video, already bought the mod for my self and i like it.
But i got a question how do you look around freely without a mouse
It's a system you have to buy for PC called "TrackIR". I use the TrackIR 5 with TrackClip:PRO: www.trackir.com
@@SimulatorAdventures Thank you for information :)
No problem
The interior is like the Citroën berlingo
Looks like a great mod but paywalling mods is definitely a no go
Sometimes you gotta go with it
Dev needs to make money it’s only like €2
@@vincevanderperre8660 imho mods should be passion projects, donation fine; paywall not
@@thebyzocker I dont think you dictate what are passion project or not. This is one but with a paywall
@@leepicgaymer5464 which is why i said "imho" which if you didnt know means "in my honest opinion"
I dropped a sub! sorry we had a bit of a disagrement, like i said we just have 2 different standpoints on things. I can tell you put effort into your content and it clearly shows! also nice setup;)
Thanks for the sub! Yeah totally understand, the game is improving all the time and I hope my feedback in that 0.28 update video will somehow filter through to the devs so they can make 0.29 as good as it can be
If it had a little bit more features and options and 1 dollar reduced price it would be okay but like this it's a bit expensive for it
It looks more like a Transit Connect rather than a Vw Caddy
I hate having to pay.
Get a leaked version then
@@Brooo0-x6y thats illegal irl
Its obtaining stolen assets, which would be fine if he hadnt copyrighted the Van
Front looks like a Volkswagen and back looks like a Vauxhall/opel combo
The Renault Kangoo.
I waiting for the Demo Version, before in buy the scout.
I'm from the US, and I didn't even know this was called a European-style van, it just looks like a Ford Transit Connect, which I thought it was supposed to be based on, not a Volkswagen.
Edit: the new Volkswagen Caddy and Ford Transit Connect are actually the same car, so even if it's based on the VW, it's still a Ford. The name works.
It’s just amazing and I bought it immediately
This is a Great mod, It would be even better if the odometer saved the traveled kilometers(too bad it was leaked after 1.5 hours)
OOF
Leaked where?
This is way worth the money compared to the DFA pack, I won't get into details, but the dev got banned from the forums, was a free mod, became paid, and he banned me from his discord for not buying the mod (I think, cannot rejoin, won't give me any reason why, and I was never active, was waiting for the gmt400 update to buy it) this dev is way more respectful, will be buying it asap.
I bought this mod yesterday and I can confirm, it is worth the money 💵.
It really is!
In my opinion paid mods should only be around 50 Cents - 1.50
It’s €2
Opel combo starts for me
Idk why but I would love it if the mod developer would sell the mod directly to the devs and maybe even become one of the devs
Gavril fits because Ford Tourneo is the same van
Free Demo is on the repo
I Bought this and i can defenetly say that it was worth it.
Agreed!
Honestly, I am all for paying for mods because it means that you can get some amazing quality vehicles like this one and maps. Of course, there's still plenty of amazing free mods but having paid mods can help incentivise creators to make such detailed and high quality mods. Also great video on this mod - I'm surprised your channel isn't bigger with this quality!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy the channel
This is just the slightly better ibishu kashira
Odd my friends and I play this and none of us were the slightest bit bothered about this and I would never pay for any vehicle.
The beamng devs actually build the base car and mod developers base their cars off beamng cars
Honestly, if the mod isn't stolen, and is high quality, i'll pay for it, i don't see a problem. For example: Lots of trucks for ETS2 are paid. However, they are very high quality, so imo, it's worth it.
Paid mods for Beamng is something I wouldn't mind on a small scale such as this, but I would absolutely despise if this starts becoming the norm in the future. (Quality paid mods vs quantity paid mods)
10:54 that's why old cars are better... they drive after crashing
Lol true
If devs add to the game I'll buy it
The interior looks like a rivian.
The best mod🤩
If you don't want to fork out your moneys, get the demo
What is the name of that camera mod or how do you do it. It looks nice the way it moves like that.
TRACK IR

aww man i wish i could buy this mod, but i dont wanna waste my money):
Would you recommend this mod over the cherrier picnic he made, i was thinking of getting one, just skeptical due to having to pay through whatever gumroad is.
It really depends on what you want. They're equal quality but one is a small french hatchback and the other is a van. Gumroad is pretty trustworthy, but I believe you can also buy the mods on Ko-Fi too.
Can't wait for it to get leaked !
raise your hand if you hate paid mods
great content
Thank you!
Hi, what mod do you use for your in-game camera and the configs for it

ford courier based. (thanks for heart :) )
I will consider my financial advisors words for it, when I ask them (they said I can get it for cheaper aka 2 dollars cheaper using code beam or or bngplanet
