I was recently playing Beam and noticed a gaping hole in the car list. A Tilt-Cab truck. We have the Gavril T series, I like it, but it's really meant to be an 18 wheeler, and you couldn't use it as a light truck. It has a longnose front end, which is nice, but a cabover truck would be great. A tilt cab truck would allow for a greater variety in configs and options. For example, the famous Ford C Series was used for a variety of purposes. Here are some examples. Flatbed Fire Truck (Yes! An american fire truck without needing a custom chassis!) Box Truck Dump Truck (With an interesting paintjob) Bare Bones chassis Car Carrier: Tractor Trailer: (Yes! Now something else to use the new trailers with!) And this interesting tow truck I found: (I know there are boom bindings... So it might work) A truck like this would have tons of possibilities! However, one trim I would like to bring up are fire engines. We don't have a fire truck yet (I know about the ETK, but that's more european). The fire apparatus industry is quite interesting and diverse, and there could be a ton of fire trucks that you could make on this chassis Snorkel: (Not many people have heard of this, but this was the predecessor to the common tower ladder. It's like a bucket truck) Your ordinary pumper: Rearmount Aerial Ladder: Midmount Ladder: Rescue Squad: Tanker: These could be easily swapped onto the body. My ideas for our new truck: Gavril TC Series (TC standing for tilt cab)(I need a better name though...) Chassis: 6 Wheel (2 front, 4 rear) 10 Wheel (2 front, 2 sets of 4 in the rear 6 wheel short (For trailers) Bodies: Flatbed Box Truck Dump Truck Car Carrier Cement Mixer Pumper Water Tanker Long Fire Truck (For mounting ladders) Rescue Body Skins: TastiCola Beamng Beam County Fire Department Rusty Options: Midmount Ladder Rearmount Ladder Snorkel (For fire trucks or utility trucks) Red or Amber lightbars Trailer Hitch Engines: Inline 6 V8 Y-Block I'm always looking for feedback! If you have any ideas or suggestions, post them here! (Note: If it seems like I specifically want a C-Series, I don't. I just want a tilt-cab truck, and the C series is a perfect example)
I live in the states, so I don't really see them. And when I mention tilt-cabs, I want more of the light-duty truck, not really tractor-trailers (Though that would be an option...) Thanks for the feedback!
http://www.beamng.com/threads/8x8-heavy-utility-truck.15808/ Have you seen this? It works just fine. It comes with a few different trailers as well.
Thanks. I know about that mod. However, the 8x8 truck is European, and it's 8x8, which isn't what I'm looking for. The kind of truck I want could perform the tasks listed above. Also, I would prefer it to be American. Thanks for your feedback though.
No, not really. We already have a semi truck. I want a smaller truck that could be used for the purposes mentioned above (Specifically firefighting)
If we get a flat nose truck, it would be a lot more interesting to have a modern European one, like a Volvo f12, or Renault premium style, we already have an American truck, no need of two
That's not the FDNY, that's the Chicago Fire Department, cool anyways. We need to get a tiller trailer (With rear steering) We already have the Scania mod, and the Devs don't currently have a european brand that makes trucks (Maybe ETK, but I don't really think that it works well...). As I said, any advice is accepted, thanks!
I know Mercedes makes large trucks, and ETK is based on Mercedes, but most of beamng (With the exception of the ETK Test map and Italy) takes place in the US (Look at the plates), and we don't see many of those in the US.
But those cars would logically be sold in the US... I want to see what the devs said about the new truck. Where did they mention it?
It was used by the nyfd as a 5 unit team for the skyscraper fires. Bangshift.com did a story about it about a month back or so
You shouldn't, no point of spamming them with requests that have already been done a thousand time before. It might have been in the update speculation thread
When did we ever ask for this kind of vehicle? And also, it's not in the speculation thread. I've read it front to back.
