well I am neg_ice from ror, so I know the basics of this stuff, since ive had the game since it first came out... Also kinda annoyed that there is no actual hauling stuff/semis/decent loads/trailers and stuff :\
So after some help from a very long time friend, https://www.beamng.com/members/veyroneb.26/ we got this far XD, working stable and whatnot.
From how beamng works I recomend you to subdivide the vehicle an the skeleton in to simpler parts then work out the main chasis and suspension. From my experience it makes easier to make it work and insulate faulty parts when something refuses to work, soo you know what is invoking the kraken. EDIT: Also If you want I can help you with the .jbeam
After help from Veyron and MRcrash, we got pretty far. Took a while to get the hang of slots and stuff but were slowly getting there.
looking good dude. i hope to see a whole bunch of heavy equipment from you. keep up the great work man
I guess the loads will be in a single drop-down menu instead of each of them being a separate option?
Hey, dont 'murica trailers have sliding rails to change were the wheel's tandems are? I wonder if would be posible to add this to the trailer. Here the real life of how and why: https://www.bigtruckguide.com/know-how-to-slide-your-tandems/
I'm not involved in this mod but yes this is possible and I am pretty convinced these modders are capable of achieving such properties, but.. 'tandem' means 'two' and this is a triple axle system..
I'm a Spaniard, I have no idea what the correct term is because my english vocabulary is still reatively limited, sorry. The closest think I can call it if not tandem would be "truck" or "bogie", making the equivalence from trains.
Source : Wikipedia Trucks In heavy trucks tandem refers to two closely spaced axles. Legally defined by the distance between the axles (up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 3⁄8 in) in the European Union, 40–96 inches (1.02–2.44 m) in the United States), mechanically there are many configurations. Either or both axles may be powered, and often interact with each other. In the United States both axles are typically powered and equalized, in the European Union one axle is typically unpowered, and can often be adjusted to load, and even raised off the ground, turning a tandem into a single-axle.[3][4]
Good to see you making content for BeamNG. Also annoyed with the lack of material handling equipment / loads and trailers.
