Hirochi WL-40 Wheel Loader

I absolutely love this colossal creature so much - thank you for making this. Instantly one of my favorite vehicles in the game. Love that it has articulated steering, as well.

However, will the start/finish line overhead boards for time trials be adjusted in height to allow for this (and the HT-55) to be raced? I understand that's not their primary purpose, but it would be fun to autocross them. (The ETK procedural tracks have already had their gates expanded once to allow for larger vehicles.)

Also, I think it's a bit odd that only the huge Hirochis are in their own section between the vehicles and props - if they're going to be given a new section, then arguably, the Wydra/Aurata could also be given a new "ATVs" section (and maybe also a "Bus/Limo" section for the Wentwards and GM limo).

 

Could we possibly get a modification for seacan handling? Id assume its strong enough to handle that job

 

i know the wl in wl40 is wheel loader but what is the 40

 

Could be max. load, but it handles 40 t just barely.

 

My only issue with this beast is that under AI control it's worthless, the AI tries but apparently can't cope with the articulated nature of the WL-40 and either just runs it into stuff or gets it stuck. Makes it difficult to set up accidents unless I ride the controls with my keyboard .

 

The plan might be to expand the section in the future with other industrial vehicles, like farming equipment, an Articulated Dump Truck, or even a tracked bulldozer. Otherwise, yes, I agree that it would be a bit weird to put them in a new default section.

 

Is ist possibile that we get a version with a steering wheel? Cause I think all of my fellow Wheel users can agree, that it is a pain in the ass to drive that thing. Otherwise it is a great Mod and I would love to see more of these!
