WIP Beta released Revamped CRD Monster Truck

They were all updated.

Each tire option has specific size, weight and grip settings, so no, it's definitely not a placebo effect.

 

This isn't helpful, but this is gonna become like the old one, a 100+ page thread 8)

 

Yeah, if more people like you post such contributing posts I guess it will

 

true, and if people keep replying to such contributing posts :^)

 

at least this time the main mod and its updates are all on the first/overview page so that they won't get lost in throughout the pages like in the old version

 

I LOVE seeing all these Bigfoot's! It has always been my favorite truck since I was young. Keep up the great work!

 

Same!

Besides, "Bigfoot" (or rather, its italian equivalent) has been my nickname ever since I was a kid, due to my relatively large feet...

Consider this an easter egg...

 

lol.

 

I just got word that the hood is same with tail gate panels. They are attached to the door cab panels. And body mounts, it should be easier to rip off considering it's only 3 bolts that keep it on. The hood, should flop up and down, like the roof ATM, when it detaches from the body mounts.

So in summary:
The hood and tail gate panels are attached to the door cab panels, and are much hard to rip off. The body mounts are a little bit of opposite, depending on the force of impact on the truck.

The BKT tire's grip needs to be slightly higher than now, but only around the rounded and side wall areas.
The Ukraine tires have extreme gripping. Same for Goodyear tires.

Also for future body projects:
The Grave Digger hood it much easier to rip off than most hoods. So is Max-Ds.

Hope this helps @FLyInG 2 YoUr SoUL

Great job BTW guys!

 

Hood is not attached to the door cab panels.

It's currently supported by two breakGroups, one for each side. Both have to fail for the hood to come off. If only one breaks, the front clip will dangle on that side.

Neat.

 

So, ditched those slippery BKTs for some pro Grip-All™ tires. Much better traction now...

 

That's actually pretty cool.


As long as there is actually more grip

 

Yes.

As mentioned, the current friction coefficient for all tires is a bit low, in order to avoid tire sticking.

Looks like the recent improvements to collisions solved the problem at the root.

During testing, no negative impact on collisions between vehicles was observed, while grip is significantly improved.

Changes will be extended to the classic BKTs available within the Addon Pack.

I also plan to improve all other alternative options in a similar fashion.

EDIT - While I was at it, I reworked all the side support structures.

Fenders don't come off all that easily anymore, but the center supports can still fail together with the cab side panels like they used to, thanks to some smart application of breakGroups.

 

you did good, it's on the top resources tab under mods

 

I have the addon pack but I don't have the actual BKT tires. Am I missing something?

 

body doesn't do this when in use but I can still bend it with the node grabber

same

 

Same, so it's probably something with the file, just saying

 

truck rolled over hard (node grabber damage is great)

suspension is awesome, 4 links will break but it takes a hell of a hit to do it, but I can also say, the BKTs need grip, I can't sidewall and save it anymore
