WIP [Archived] Freightliner FS-65

Did I mention there's a "Warning Light Pattern" slot and anyone can make custom jbeam files that fit into this? At the moment it ships with 2 patterns : Basic (right) and 'Double Flash' (left).
Also, LEDs are selectable now on the body for rear lights, for warning lights, and on stop signs

So much detail are you going to add moving human beings to this next?
(Just kidding)

 

One of the last little interior details I can think of

 

Over the past day:
- Jbeam and model bugfixes
- Mercedes Benz engine is now updated and working good
- Added "head bumpers"

Todo:
- Model radiator tubing for the MB engine
- Texture one more part under the hood
- Add some more bits to the hood texture
- Fix flexbodies stretching everywhere
- Fix instability on crashes
- Debug a wheel inversion problem with the front suspension

After that, it should be in private beta stage.

 

With the speed you've been going at recently this should be done in no time. Can't wait!

 

Added the Allison MD3060 transmission, tuned by @on3cherryshake

It seems to be a little faster for 0-55mph, then it steeply drops off. But the rest of them also are very slow up at those speeds. Understandable for a bus.


I mainly wanted to add it because push button shifter

 

How can we get private beta? I would love to test and provide feedback.

 

I'm thinking he'll just give it to close friends.

 

That's pretty much the plan, at least for now.

I almost forgot about the ominous red light. It'll turn on with the headlights.
There's a total of 150 total jbeam parts now (incl. organization and frame slots)

 

The air horn isn't just a visual part. It also works on top of the default horn.

 

I regret to inform you that.. I FORGOT THE RAILING
How the heck do you forget the railing in a school bus?!

Just have to add the end bits with the screws


Edit: oh yeah, what kind of skins should I add?

My ideas so far are
- Some activity bus skin
- "East Coast Schools"
- "West Coast Schools"
- "BeamNG Bus Lines"
- One or two derby/beater skins
- A dirty/rusty skin

 

maybe add a prison bus skin

 

As some people mentioned before, "East Coast Schools" and "West Coast Schools" should be "Firwood City School District" and "Belasco Unified School District," respectively.

 

Messing around with skins

 

made configs for both now. They're have a little different part configs.


Also added a two tone skin

 

Personally I'd like for there to be church, military and prison skins.

 

Is there only a low floor option?

 

Is there anything different for a school bus?

 

Was Thinking about a University Shuttle Bus:



--- Post updated ---

Would really like to see a government bus like that ingame!
--- Post updated ---
Is there an option to replace windows with metal sheets?
Lastly would also like to see a rail crew transport bus Skin like this:

 

No option for metal in the windows but I did just make it so all the glass can be removed. Maybe I can make that slot work for both in the future.


I also separated out the frame part for a potential shorter body and frame if I feel like it in the future
