Released T-Series Drivetrain Expansion

That's something I was testing for another mod and forgot to remove before release. I'll delete those next hotfix.

It's not worth my time to create a whole new tridem frame just to shave a foot or two off the existing one.

 

No need to remove those. They may be a good addition to this mod

I guess it'd be easier to get the ability to put the 500L fuel tanks on the Day Cab in order to fill up that space, wouldn't it?

 

Hello, I love using your mod "T-Series Drivetrain Expansion" however I was curious if you were interested in recreating something similar as seen in the 3 photos attached.

Since I know that the T-Series semi has a dump body uplift, would you be interested in creating longer dump bodies and longer frames that have a range between 2 - 4 lift axles?

I just think something like this would be cool to see on the T-Series semi, anyways here is the 3 photos attached, let me know what you think of this idea.

 

That looks like something out of r/cursedcars

... nice idea

 

I haven’t gotten to test it yet, so how did the mod fare in the new update?

 

seems to be mostly fine, I think a few things are missing that were included, stuff that is new and does not show up includes the new parts such as the headache rack on the custom frames and the chicken lights on sleepers on smaller frames

 

While not on here that has been requested before but no I do not plan on making that or any alternate dump configurations unless there is an actual useful load added for them other than boulders.

I've only gotten a slight bit of testing done with the update so far. Luckily most stuff seems to still work. The issues seem mainly to be getting the tridem air suspension and tag axles to work with the auto-leveling and getting the chicken lights to work on the other variants.

Also looking through some of the new model files and it looks like in future game updates this mod will be rendered mostly obsolete.

 

are you saying there are hidden files in the update suggesting that the devs are not finished with the T-series, and are planning to add similar features to a future update that would be very similar to your work?

 

The devs themselves said in the devblog that they aren't done with the T-series yet.

 

wow that's cool

 

... what are those even supposed to be? A bunch of them seem to be axle parts, but I can't tell.

 

Twinsteer, Big V8, Powered Front Axle, Transferase, and more walking beam configurations.

 

Nice that the devs have more T-series content planned in the future. Guess tha

Nice that the devs have more T-series content planned in the future. Guess that'll save you a good bit of work once it comes out. Although, if by any chance something breaks in an update BEFORE that stuff is released, will you still update it to keep this mod usable in the mean time?

I'll still try to keep the mod updated and likely still continue it in some form once they add all the offroad stuff.

 

I just noticed that none of the exhaust/intake options fit the gas engines:

Any plans to remedy this?

 

Ah I see, that's alright, thought I just give some useful ideas, anyways love the mod, keep up the great work.

 

airbag powered axle lift, very cool

 

I feel like a weedburner (tailpipe) exhaust pipe underneath would be suitable for the gas engines, maybe even as an option for diesel engines as well.

 

Any possiblity to add a flappy mudflap (like on twinsteer) to the regular single front axle? And maybe a steerable tag axle with wider tires or more spaced out wheels? To be honest the current tag steers look janky with how close they are spaced to the frame.
