is the slant hood supposed to be treated as a 1980s facelift also do you want me to provide the config for my 12 second drag t-series using only this mod
I wasn't really thinking of the Slant hood as a facelift but rather as an alternative body option that would exist alongside the regular hood trucks similar to Kenworth with the W900 and T800. No thanks. It's a cool config you made but I only want one drag config included in the mod.
Hey, I'm not sure if you're tending to your trailer mod, so I'll post what I said here: I managed to jankily put tandem axles on the short dryvan and short tanker.
The trailer mod I plan to maintain if updates break it but I don't plan on adding anything to it at the moment. The main motivation for me making that mod was just for B-train tankers because Canada.
Awesome thank you! It also helps that I forgot to click the [+] on the "Engine" and switch out the transmission. I used the 18 Speed Road Ranger and the instructions you'd given and everything worked perfectly, thank you!
is there a way we could get the ability to use the road ranger without the need for a second shifter just keys to upshift or downshift the seconed gears
I have been working on something like that: a custom JBEAM file of mine currently has 5 gearboxes with 10, 13, 15, 18 and even 20 gears, with all 5 having all gears in a line. You need to have both the gearbox file itself and the custom shifter I made for it, as well as bind the Neutral to some key, but they're very convenient. I started it mildly out of spite after the EZ-Range went from having 18 gears to 9+rangebox. The whole thing is admittedly very janky, some ratios may be wrongly set (the Shift Point Debug UI app runs out of colors after a while) and the shifter moveset is extra-unrealistic, but I never really bothered with realism or aesthetics anyway, so it works for my purposes.
I think he's referring to the fact that the RoadRanger has 2 rangeboxes. Admittedly, I built my EZ-Straights because I never get the shifting pattern of that thing right.
Hey, epicfacecanada, I know we've talked about this before, but I REALLY can't find a solution to this: I noticed that the 500L fuel tanks can fill up the space left between the conventional day cab frames and the Medium Tridem Frame. I want to do exactly that and put 500L tanks there, but the right one keeps falling off for no reason upon spawn. I haven't messed with the nodes, beams or triangles: I simply copy-pasted the 500L tanks, slightly renamed them and put them on the 370L tank slots. Mind helping me fix that, please? The left one is clearly okay, but the right one isn't. No explanation for this, as I said. --- Post updated --- Forgot to mention: for some reason the tag axle brakes don't work when said axles are lifted, so if the wheels touch a curb and start spinning, it throws off the speedometer and can't be rectified. Is this intentional?
Update 0.51 - Added wide fender hood options for the wide front wheels - reworked Twinstick transmission code to now allow the Auxiliary transmission to be sequentially shifted. To attach the fuel tanks to the frame on the T-series it uses slidenodes which snap onto rails which are defined in the front frame Jbeam. This is what allows them to clip easily on to many different length frames. This is also how the suspension and upfits mount to the frame. The problem is once you extend the mounts beyond the front frame where the rail is defined the mounts lack something to snap to and will easily fall apart. The only way I've found around this is to redefine the rail in the front frame Jbeam to extend partially into the middle frame though that can cause some oddities when deformed. This is how I worked out the fuel tank mounting on some of the twinsteer frames.
Huh. I have no idea why would fuel tanks need slidenodes, they're not supposed to move. Maybe it'd be possible to alter the auxiliary tanks' slidenodes so they don't actually extend beyond the front frame, but I have no idea of how would that work. About the other part: Any plans to re-enable the tag axle brakes? They don't operate when the axle is lifted, so if they start spinning, there's no way to recalibrate the speedometer.
The slide nodes allow for the fuel tanks to universally mount up to the front frame basically regardless of the length or placement of nodes the front frame has. Tag axles do not alter the brakes or braking at all. Are you sure the tag axle has a drum installed on it? Also the UI speedometer always reads low with tag axles and AFAIK there isn't anything I can do about it as it auto-calcs based on all the wheel speeds. For the In-cab Speedo there is an alternative dash that switches it to read airspeed.
Yes, the tag axle hubs have the brakes installed; they just don't work when the axle is lifted unless you're close to a full stop.
Painted Mesh Grill? there isn't a painted mesh grill part. If so I would have seen it when I copied over all the grill parts from the sloped hood for the slanted.
