Heavy Vehicles Addon 1.0

Experimental stuff for the T-Series and MD-Series

  1. Loser2817
    This has been on my stash for about half a year, maybe more, but I feel like today's a good time to bring it to the world.

    This mod adds plenty of weird experimental parts to the T-Series, MD-Series and semi trailers, mostly for my own convenience. There's also partial support for EFC's Twinsteer Addon.

    T-Series:
    1. Auxiliary fuel tanks and sleeper cabs for space patching
    2. Lowered tandem leaf springs
    3. Rear tandem axle adapter for rear frames usually restricted to single axles
    4. EZ-class gearboxes of different types ranging from 8 to 24 gears, with customizable shifting layouts and matching shifters
    5. Legacy gearboxes and final drives similar to the 0.30 T-Series' powertrain, with version-accurate gear ratios and final drive ratios
    6. Certain addons for the vanilla 14.7L I6, such as extra rev limiters and a naturally-aspirated intake.
    7. Disc brakes for all axles, both airbag-dependent and hydraulic/airless
    MD-Series:
    1. Janky but functional AWD front axle and transfercase
    2. Slightly strenghtened driveshafts for debug purposes
    Semi Dryvan Trailer:
    1. Dual bogie adapter for the 28ft dryvan
    Common:
    1. Limited-slip differentials for all powered axles and transfercases
    2. Hydraulic/airless brakes for the T-Series, MD-Series and trailers
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Known Bugs:
    1. There's a set of airless rear suspensions for the T-Series left over. I'm planning to replicate the 0.30 T-Series' suspension system, but so far everything's unusable and might break the vehicle. I don't know how to fix them and make them work, so if you pull it off, please let me know.
    2. Combining airless T-Series and air-dependent trailers can cause the air pressure values much more prone to go runaway. I can't fix this either, sorry :(
    3. Using any non-automatic gearbox with EFC's Main EV Motor will break the T-Series. This is specific to EFC's mod, so I can't do anything to fix it; I added an EZ-Bolt single-ratio automatic to try and sidestep this issue until it gets fixed.
    4. Pairing the EZ-Twin gearboxes with a soft-limit rev limiter can cause the gearbox to stop upshifting and get stuck, requiring the user to either slow down or engage manual shifting mode. I added Hard rev limiters to sidestep this.

    3/5,
    Version: 1.0
    Well,this mod works well :) But it have some bugs what I found:
    1:Auxiliary tank&battery on the right side always falling off after I selected.
    2:Rear Tandem Axle Adapter has incorrect location on some rear frame.
    That's all :P
    Besides,I think that put the Conventional Daycab to the aero frame is a good idea, Can't wait to drive very loooooooong Daycab truck on the highway. XD
    Anyway,I like your creation very much,keep going :)

      Yes, I know of both bugs. Unfortunately I'm not very knowlegdeable in JBEAM, so I can't fix any of them :(

      Theoretically the right 500L tanks should stay in place, but they don't. I have no idea why this happens.

      The Rear Tandem Axle Adapter is solely meant for the Single Axle Rear, but some other mods have rear frames using the same slot, so fixing that isn't possible either.

    I wish they would make the MD-series have two axles with a fifth wheel in the rear, like the T-series. But from there on out everything is great

      I'm VERY noob when it comes to modding. Anything related to making meshes and JBeams from scratch is a big no-no :(

      For now the Mad Mod will have to do, but even I am not sure how compatible it is with this.
