General:

This mod consists out of five parts:

- common: bogies and dollies
- dryvan: trailers based on the dryvan
- skeleton trailers: Skeleton trailers including containers
- containers: containers as a prop.
- semi: the upfits and parts for the semi
- flatbed: trailers based on the flatbed
- extended flatbed: stretched version with exceptional loads

---

Common parts:



bogie_single: just like the original two axle bogie but cut in half, flexbody and jbeam wise. (Uses the rear suspension parts)

dolly: It's is a near copy of the original bogie (it uses the bogie flexbodie and jbeams), but:
- renamed slots, nodes, rails etc (also for the suspension parts, they are a renamed copy of the bogie parts)
- added drawbar slot
- added kingpin attachment
- added semi's fifthwheel flexbody

dolly_single: like the bogie_single it is cut in half (but uses the front suspension)
- w.r.t. the two axle dolly it has also a kingp2 attachment so it can only rotate around the vertical axis

added a custom drawbar

Custom Heavy Duty trailer coupling meshes


steerable dolly: adjusted the dolly so it can steer and can raise and lower. Select the trailer as vehicle to steer


---

dryvan parts:



general:
- Three versions available: long (regular), short and leadtrailer.
- added a heavy duty drawbar receiver mesh and jbeam (coupler tag is tow_hitch_HD)
- front part is a separate part
- rear part is a separate part
- remolded the rear frame to be used at the front
- copied and changed the rear doors so they can be used at the front (it uses the same rear door flexbody)
- added simple loading decks so one is able to drive between trailers
- don't select the simple loading plate and car lift at the same time.

dryvan_ar162b: A near copy of the original one, but:
- changed the dolly slot to have node offset; the dolly is exactly like the bogie centered around (0,0,0) by default (the bogie slot also has a nodeoffset)
- Added tow hitch slot
- added kingp2 attachment so a single axle dolly can be used
- removed the front part
- car lift available
- second deck available

dryvan_leadtrailer:
- mesh and flebody are simply cut
- doors are moved and changed the attachment nodes
- rear frame is moved, flexbody is remolded
-'rear bumper' is remolded rear frame flexbody
- added special rear bogie, stretched the bogies frame (added nodes) and added semi's fifth wheel flexbody & n/b
- removed the front part

dryvan_puptrailer:
- mesh and flebody are simply cut
- doors are moved and changed the attachment nodes
- removed the front part
- car lift available
- second deck available
- Added loads

---

Flatbed Parts:



New in this version; I've taken the old one out and customized the official version. It was very simple as the jbeams are very similar to the dryvan. Just like the dryvan, it has a leadtrailer and a puptrailer.

Added custom loads for the leadtrailer and puptrailer,
A hay load as front and rear load
A custom ramp
A simple loading plate to be able to drive between trailers. Use 'retract' to not unfold the loading ramp to be able to drive between flatbeds.
Steel coil, 20 ton each

---

Extended Flatbed Parts:



2 versions:
- 30m stretched with a 55m 20 ton windturbine blade
- 12.5m stretched with a 30m 5 ton aluminium silo

---
Tanker parts:



Not much, but changed the files a bit so it can use my Dollies and can have a heavy duty tow hook.

---

Skeleton Container trailers:



Removed the flatbed out of this parts as I added a complete new version in the flatbed trailer section

Container trailers:
- Three versions available: long, short and leadtrailer.
- The container trailers have container 'slave' couplers, so it is possible to attach a 'prop' container.
- The long trailer can carry a single 40ft container, but also two 20ft containers.
- Loading decks are available to drive between trailers.

---

Containers:



- 20 & 40 ft containers
- Added different colours as skins
- closed; empty and loaded versions. The loaded version has a variable to tune the load.
- open versions: with only at the rear or at both ends open. Doors available at the open ends.
- couplers are attached; at the bottom there are 'master' couplers, at the top 'slave' couplers.
- loading decks are available.

NOTE:
- the open container has a lot more nodes and beams compared to the closed versions; so choosing a closed version may increase FPS on a low end computer.
- With a low end computer; one can increase the fps by using this container prop instead of the version from the trailers, this will devide the calculations over multiple cpu cores.
- Unfortunately there isn't a reach stacker available (yet), so one has to place/stack containers using the world editor or carefully with the node grabber.
- Somehow the flexbody of the doors become invisible after a crash, why I don't know.

---

Semi parts:



- updated the engine and race parts
- updated the stinger trailer
- added the stretched exhaust stacks
- added a stretched T75 frame
- added a cab protector for the log stinger trailer (sleeper slot)
- added a upfit based on the dryvan (basically it is a adjusted pup trailer upfit) including loads and the car lift also found in the dryvan puptrailer.
- added a stinger trailer with a container. It has container 'slave' couplers, so it is possible to attach a 'prop' container.
- The T65 race car boxed upfit is still available
- Added a large custom flatbed with loads and a custom ramp (basically the flatbed puptrailer
- Added a 20' container load.

Have fun!

CREDITS:

- The pre release testers
- Dummiesman for the preset pictures made in his showroom for the preset pictures and his very useful nodetool to make moving things lots easier.
- dadimr2450 for the updated racing engine figures.
- Nadeox1 for his scenario making tutorial

Know issues:
- hay bale materials, for the semi and the flatbed
- a collision node on the semi car lift
- the 2 axle dolly nodes will collide with a heavy trailer (I'll also check that kingp2 node)
- The lead trailer bogie is wobbly (frame, under guard, fifth wheel)
- The heavy duty towhitch is wobbly
- license plate texture for the skeleton trailers is somehow broken
- doors and loading decks of the containers can break weird (becomes partly invisible, don't know why. Checked all deformgroups and disabled meshbreaking but no effect.)
- The car lift hasn't fitting textures.

---

Long term ideas:
- Air deflector on the sleeper cab
- additional spotlights on the cab or heavy duty front bumper.
- Drop visors, antennas, other stacks, air lines (thanks Peterbilt)
- More scenarios
