DFA Early Access v5.4 Changelog
The OBS Takeover.
The 400 Series was the first thing to come to the pack, got ignored the whole time, and as we've made it to the very last major content update, the 400 series has finally received the love it always needed in this remaster, and will be the last content update to come just as it was the first. After 4 months of development, I proudly present the biggest update to come to this mod.

Quick Notices and Warnings
⮞ Not all of the new parts are compatible with each other despite having the ability to be used together, I recommend testing different part combos to see what works and what doesn't.
⮞ As there is a LOT of new content, I do not advise low-end users to play with DFA due to potential FPS drops, but just a warning and of course you can use the mod. I currently experience 0 lag so I hope that's the case for all of you.
For those of you on modland, kys retards
⮞ Not everything is done yet, do not expect EVERYTHING to work perfectly or be bug free. I do not need bug reports on unfinished content that I already know is unfinished. With that being said, some content may be unfinished or missing due to premature-release but there's more than enough finished content to hold until the following hotfix/polish update. (if leakers don't ruin it)
⮞ Hugeeee thanks to everyone who had a part in this update, and thanks to all of my Patreon subs for making it possible.
Be sure to pay attention to the rest of the changelog and enjoy the content!

➤ NEW VEHICLE: Gavril OBS Inferno & Charro
Off-roader of the decade in the 90s, this fullsized-SUV is one hell of an off-roader, hence the name, Inferno. With either the standard GavraTrac-4WD or the upgraded G71 Package, this SUV will take you where no other would dare lay their tiremarks. Legend has it, the inferno was made straight from hell and could take you back with it, if you wanted.
The Inferno sadly lost it's cool name in 1995 because it was changed to Charro with the introduction of the 4-door version.
