    MOD LORE
    Heavystar is a branch of Gavril that offers a modernistic approach on heavy duty commercial vehicles as well as comfort. The Heavystar branch was incorporated in the late 1980's, starting with the Heavystar I platform [planned]. After that platform ended production, the Heavystar II was produced offering a more modern look, meeting the demand for appealing medium and heavy duty commercial vehicles. The Heavystar III platform [planned] will be the last of the branch's production when it is produced.

    YESSSSSSS SOMEONE DID IT FINALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH

    Would be so awesome to eventually get a tanker and dump truck based on this. Also it would really suit the armored upfit for the MD

    I really look forward to where this goes, this has TONS of potential!

    Overall very very nice. Way better than I thought it would be for an alpha stage. Keep it up! I do have a question though, will AC unit models be added in the future, as well as different skirt options for the bus? (low and mid, the current skirt is a high skirt). Great job and I can’t wait to see where this mod goes!!

      Thanks, Yes, AC units will be made for the buses & reefer units will be made for the box upfits on the trucks. As for the shirts, I am not sure yet as they are tied to the body (I'd have to make copies of the bodies for every single specific setup, including things like under-body storage compartments). I definitely want to but it may be awhile considering I did a lot of bus body work not long ago :)

    Wasn't expecting much judging on the thumbnails and the mod still being in alpha, but spawning it in game exceeded my expectations. Love seeing more buses and emergency vehicles in the game. Looking forward to seeing the future of this mod

      Thanks. Yeah things will get a lot better over time, no doubt about that.

    The unfinished descriptions, identical statistics, and other such issues, including the somewhat strange crash model, are easily dismissed for such a new & realistic mod. My biggest issue is that the thumbnails for both of the vehicles have text and are at a different angle than the regular thumbnails, making them look very out of place.

      Thank you. Yeah a lot of the small stuff like that will be improved in the next few updates. I've had a few others mention the dislike for the main icons so I will revert them back in the next update.

    Very good mod! Even though this mod is in the "alpha" stage, it is very realistic and enjoyable to drive! I was wondering, is there a way to open the bus door without all the red flashers going off? This is now my new favorite bus mod! Looking forward to the new gen versions in the future!
    1. Hunter [HPMODS Development]
      Author's Response
      Thank you! Yes, you first have to turn off the mater flasher switch. This disables the ambers and the initial reds activation upon opening the door.

    A fun mod to mess around with and of course roleplay with. You did pretty well I must say. I imagine tandem axles will be added later on?
    1. Hunter [HPMODS Development]
      Author's Response
      Thank you! Yes, tandem axles will be added along with much more. On the 'Overview' tab here there is a google sheets link that has all/most of the current progress and future plans for my modding.

    great mod! but though the hood cant open, so like there is only latches but no triggers to open it
    1. Hunter [HPMODS Development]
      Author's Response
      Oh yep, the side trigger boxes on the hood only latch/unlatch. THe hood must be manually opened/closed via node grabber or (my preferred realistec method), by switching to walk mode and mantually node grab the hood at the grille. I made a specific node to pull/push the hood that offers optimal leverage.

    You my friend, 10/10 killed it with this ! Great work, you say this is alpha . Damn i cant wait to see what youve got planned because this is way better than alpha in my books.

      Thank you! I truly appreciaate the kind works are review. yeah It's technically in a very early stage. I wanted to wait longer and kept delaying the public release, but soo many poeple kept bugging about it (not hate) so I just sent it out after a 3-day grind to confirm that what all was in, was mostly usable. There's going to be so much moer and thing will be so much better :)
