I am subscribed but it won't show up in the game, i have cleared my cache but still won't work. Anyone got any ideas?

 

yep same , just get this

 

This mod is something from the other universe. I love it.

 

I see you have the same missing window texture issue I'm having on the 3rd car.

 

I have same problem. Cleared cache. Resubscribed to mod but it still doesn't work. When i load up custom config it loads with normall frame and there is no other frame choices

 

Okay, so I'm going to install BeamNG on other PC and download this mod in an attempt to reproduce the missing texture issue

The issue with lost texture was reproduced on clean install and therefore fixed in update 0.1.3.5

 

same problem here guys; reinstalled the mod, cleared cache but nothing.

 

The issue with lost texture was reproduced on clean install and therefore fixed in update

In contrast to the issue with lost textures, that one with total missing of articulation is a mystery for me. Could you please list the other bus-related mods you have?

 

For me:
Djopplers mega pack
3-axle bus
and of course your mod.

However how these mods would interfere is beyond me.

 

I love this mod, but I think that the segments are too long. For what I see here on my city, segments only have one window before the doors. Also the electric transmision sounds soo good for overpowered madness oh great scott!
Here is an example:

 

it’s something to do with the “empty.cdae” file located in the “vehicles/common.zip” location in the games’ files. I removed it and it only fixed the problem until I cleared the cache the next day. I'm starting to wonder if it’s a bug of not since it’s effecting more than one mod.

 

Yeah I don't get anything, no configurations, no options besides the default bus options...tried clearing cache/reinstall and everything, it's really strange.

 

I'm gonna try that and post my results here

The length of sections is so long just because each following axle is exactly 10 meters away. That was purely a hack to have ability to change all these coordinates evenly by 10 meters, not like +7 or +9 meters. Otherwise it would be so much more fiddling with jbeam data.

 

Oh, I see, no problem then. Maybe when the articulated sections are their own vehicle it would be easier.

 

I have a question. Will you allow for powertrain mods made for the standard dt40l in the future?

 

with all the mods I have is difficult to remember: for sure I have 3 axle bus and hybrid bus

 

Are you planning on adding a hook or trailer attachment in the rear ?

 

Well, it's really about making a copy of mods, because on the jbeam level, there are just 3 copies of same drivetrain for Articulated, Bi-articulated and Tri-Articulated variants. Almos nothing shared (exept turbo definitions, because in Bus turbo don't have assosiated meshes)
I'm more interested in making an Electric Drivetrain, where single engine in back drives a big generator, and then electricity passed to one, two or three rear axles, with ability to configure power distribution between them.

Another point is mods compatibility. That's something I've ignored until now, but it is the first point in my plan currently - to install all other bus-related mods and make sure that there is no compatibility issues.

I want to add a possibility to hook several buses together and try to make it somehow driveable.
