    I like the truck, it can get pretty fast when you tune the ECU in it and the 4x4 version is pretty fun at high-speed dune runs... and well, offroading too, honestly there should've been some kind of a dakar rally version for this, quite a missed opportunity with this truck.

    As for bugs, on the steering wheel (i have a PS-branded Logitech G29) it has a tendency to (at random) pull the wheel very hard to the right when standing still, i think FFB is glitching on it because it goes back to normal if i switch to another vehicle or reset it through CTRL + R.

    I do wish you could move the fifth wheel further forward than stock

    You can do it, through the vehicle settings. Problem is this is the only option and there's no dashboard switch for (un)locking it.

    Love the truck. So many chassis configurations to choose from, and a new 12 m³ drum for the concrete mixer upfit.
    One thing I wanted to ask is whether lift axles will be added in the future. I see a lift axle control option in the control menu, but there are no parts for it yet.

    Yeah, that however would be almost impossible to access as simple triggers on controllers, we opted for switches on the dash instead (if you equip air suspension they appear on the dash, albeit deactivated for now.
    what Diamondback said here is related to that. Hopefully at some point we will be able to make those buttons functional properly :)
    As for why they got deactivated: we weren't happy with how pressure equalization system behaved at various ride heights, so decided to keep it simple and non-adjustable, but actually driveable (some chassis configurations would struggle A LOT with traction)

    Will be added in the future

    You can only move it backwards from stock, not forward

    Saying this with 80% confidence: the Percheron’s cab struts have the ram misaligned (in case I mixed up the terminology - the silver part). This was noticed on the XL cab. 20% uncertainty because this was not done in safe mode (although mods should conflict I suppose) and I am not at my laptop at the moment. Apologies if this turns out to be incorrect or has been reported.

    The Painted/Two-Tone Front Grille seems strangely reflective compared to the rest of the paintwork, is this intentional?

    Weird naming inconsistency with Offroad parts, Fender Fillers and Lower Front Bumper are hyphenated but Steps are not

    A tipper upfit would be very very cool on the Percheron, maybe a bulk trailer too.

    Not sure it has been mentioned, but my only tiny nitpicks are the lack of a range selector for the 6-speed, clipping pedals, and the manual mode for the auto not having any visible controls that I saw.

    Overall, really great addition that is great to drive around italy and poland in any config

    I would like to give feedback on a few questions:

    The adjustable interval of the fifth wheel (saddle) of the 6.8-meter and 7.45-meter frame is too rear, resulting in insufficient pressure under the front of the car. The steep slope is easy for the front wheel to leave the ground.

    The problem of the angle of the pull rod: The base of the pull arm in the red circle part of Figure 2 can be shortened a little, so that it may be better to make the angle of the pull rod close to the angle of the yellow line, because the current pull rod angle will show the situation in Figure 3, resulting in a smaller ground clearance. Figure 4 is the pull arm angle of the Volvo real car, which may be for reference.

    Another small problem is that the rear spring is very soft when pulling heavy goods. I hope to come up with an option of heavy steel plate spring.

    Does the air suspension not have self leveling? This is what a loaded tanker looks like. The air bags on the T series will self level.

    I think they mentioned that height adjustment was not included because it caused issues. That's probably why.
    Edit: Literally in the same page:

    Will they feature a tri-action setup like the dome light switch? As in increase -> default height -> decrease.

    Thanks for feedback :)
    Will check on spring stiffness and we will add some more adjustability for fifthwheel position
    Will see when we get to setting it up
