WIP Beta released TA Trailer/Prop Expansion Discussion

Much more helpful thank you. As I mentioned before I've tested the mod with career mode and I have extremely limited Lua knowledge. Please allow me some time to look into this.

 

oh well, sorry for being rude if you think i am rude and demanding

 

Almost there

 

I always thought 3 axles on the shorter 22 foot and 30 foot tilt deck trailers could be cool. I always felt like the massive 40 foot trailer was excessive for smaller/ shorter heavy loads. just a suggestion for this mod. I hope it doesn't seem too complicated.

 

i sense a bit of a problem here, if were transporting racing cars to the track or even transporting small offroad autobello's, shouldnt we have stuff like a "Team offroad" paintjob?

other then that, it looks good

 

Very much agreed




I don't think I'll be doing 3 axles for the 22ft trailer, but I did add the heavy duty dually suspension to it as well as new 4 axle dually for the 40ft, and 3 axle single and dually for the 30ft.

Fully compatible with deck winch and slideable tiedown mods.

 

YES YES YES YES... ive been wanting this forever, Any chance we can use the 19.5 wheels on the tiltdeck? mabey some beffier springs.

 

The excavator prop as one of their loads would be nice.

 

First time doing skins starting with the Blastr one so it's perhaps not the best composition wise. Tedious but enjoyable, I have a newfound appreciation for skin creators. UV layout will be provided Hopefully I can get the interior light to work correctly (problem is it's illuminating through the trailer) and it'll be ready for release alongside the tiltdeck expansion. Unfortunately the dropdeck is on hold as I cannot get certain loads to cooperate.

I'm not familiar with any excavator prop, I had to double check and make sure there wasn't one all along lol. I'm assuming it's a separate mod in which case I probably won't be doing that. I don't want there to be any sort of dependencies.

The additional axle for the 34ft and 40ft trailers already increases load capacity by 25%, I may be able to add even stiffer springs but having done so much suspension work I have found that doing so could have adverse effects such as actually making the entire suspension assembly more fragile, unstable, and bouncy. I'll consider it. As for 19 inch wheels for the single wheel axles. If someone is willing to help me make an adapter, I could add this in future. I'd also like more wheel options for the cargo trailer but I really don't want to duplicate so many wheels. So until I either figure out how to do this reasonably or someone provides some guidance there will only be the standard wheel options to start.

 

I understand that the long enclosed trailers are still in development? Just asking as I downloaded the mod on the repository and I can't find the trailers in the game, but I saw images of them on the repository page!

 

Hey sorry I jumped the gun, I figured I would have made the deadline (small mod approval window) last night for me (this morning for the devs). It should be out tonight/tomorrow. Sorry about that I will avoid updating the main post in future.

Just now realizing Devs don't do mod approvals over the weekends. That's unfortunate, sorry again I'm still fairly new to this.

 

I see, don't worry about it

 

Cantilevers are cool

 

Can you do a car crusher trailer like this one?

and also make the forks smaller on the WL-40 so you can pick up smaller cars.

 

I've thought about a separate mod for modifications I want to do to industrial equipment. That's a good place to start

 

Fun Physics did a car crusher.

 

Yep, WIP. So I obviously will leave that to him lol. Looks great

 

The new single 40ft log trailer could use 3 or 4 axles too.

 

Hi, TripleAye ,Can you make a tie-down straps, please? a tie-down that has adjustable length and almost unbreakable.(Sounds unrealistic but it can as a experiment props.)

 

Thanks for the new Dolly.
