    It's a very interesting technique and the hydraulics are well implemented. I'm also interested in how to activate rimpull, and I was hoping that you would add a realistic press for the cars so that they could be loaded with a loader

    Yeah makes it difficult to set up accidents and crashes or even get it across the map.

    You may be off by around 40 tons when comparing operating weight :D

    The underbody counterweight is said to be 6400kg in the parts selector but only adds about 2700kg

    Any recommended button setups that are somewhat authentic for the wheel loader? I'm trying to assign controls on a t16000 hotas with throttle/pedals

    Ok i watched some videos and this is what i've come up with and assigned to my joystick. Joystick sitting on the right. Left hand drive the wheel.

    wheel loader arm - pull back/push forward - up/down

    tilting bucket - pull left = bucket tilted up, right - tilt bucket down

    open/close attachment = hat left = open, hat right = closedlast one i'm iffy on but most skidsteers and wheel loaders that i saw used a lever on the joystick or rocker switch

    Also, if you've got an issue with the gears not stopping with the T16000m then add a small deadzone to it and it fixes it. So much fun! Now I have snowrunner for real in vr... Maybe I can scoop up some mud or water from one of those maps.

    Yea, its closer to a CAT 988

    I will say, I couldn't find the exact max lift capacity for the real-life equivalent, but I was able to lift an HT-55 completely overhead with it, and that truck is over 50 tons? Is the loader supposed to be that strong, or did y'all take some liberties? I know nothing about hydraulics

    a lot comes down to how exactly you grab stuff and of course the counterweights. A lot of heavier loaders will be limited in lifting capacity not by hydraulics power, but by counterweight.

    is it just a me issue or is there no control settings for the log sorting attachment? i can only get it to open and close through the lever in the cockpit but i can't find any controls in the control menu to do it outside of first person
