Most euro trucks do not have the engine infront of the cabin like that first image anyway, even those by SISU Auto.

What would really be referred to as euro style is this:


I have seen several russian and chinese vehicles with layouts like your first image. Finland do border russia, so I think its more a russian influence than euro influence where trucks are predominantly cab over engine, in europe there are tighter restrictions on the length of a truck so sticking a sodding great engine bay on front of the cab is a waist of space when you can stick the cab over the top of the engine while still having an engine powerful enough to shift the largest load you can have on a european road anyway. Also gives smaller blind spots and tighter turning circle for the tractor unit itself. Fuel economy can be poorer due to aerodynamics and ultimately you can still fit a bigger engine in an american style truck.

 

Western europe doesn't even have Sisu's.

 

If theres anything you have trouble finding info about let me know, I can give pics and info from my rig and some other drivers I know.

 

"I have seen several russian and chinese vehicles with layouts like your first image" Scania and Volvo use same layout, it used because it work better in ice and snow.

I don´t think than its influencse of Russians, it influence of Sweden, you have to remember, than in sweden there is two big tuck manufactures, Volvo and Scania, they both use same style as Sisu. And they both have been frontline to truck evolution all the time.
And in Finland, there is tight places to go, so good ability is one of the main reasons for that solutions.
Yes i know than last one "nose model" truck in Europe were Scania T-series in 2005. But i like if there is older trucks in game, not new ones.
So we use in north this style trucks at mostly:
Its full-size truck with full size trailer. Point is than you got more weigh on back, more grip in ice. And there is lot of room for cargo.
Today these style trucks are used in Finland, Sweden and Norway, other places, i don´t know.

I did mean position of front-axle, i just take Sisu for example, so you can see the diffirence.
Same think is in all Euro-trucks to compare U.S trucks.
I think than you got the same Scania, Volvo, M-B, MAN and Daf.
Main diffirense is, than today we use in europe flatnose trucks everywhere.

 

Thanks Gabe! The more pictures you post of the more more we get excited.

 

The semi is catching my interest, hauling ass around dry rock island in a vehicle that weights about 12k pounds, with something like 12 gears

 

This is so epic!
Finally a truck is coming along!
I also can't wait until trailers will be added to the coding stuff

 

Is the picture of the Roamer in the Wiki and actual picture of it, or is that just some photoshopped image of different moddels slapped together. The different colors of it are what stick out the most to me.

 

Mother of God. Beautiful job Gabester, can't wait 'til completion! =)

 

Wow. That's one of my new most anticipated cars. Looks really cool.

Now THIS is my most anticipated vehicle. I always remember playing the 18 WOS games and thinking about how cool it would be to have realistically damaging semis. And here I am, looking at one. It's so pretty.
Welp, back to the wiki. Just got done editing the T75 page about an hour ago.

 

Gabe that semi looks awesome!! Any clues on the options for engines?

 

Look into euro truck simulator. They have a neat controls feature which allows u to set a toggle switch to access more gears. So people with steering wheels can get up to 12 gears. If we could incorporate a switch in the inputmap to change the 1-6 to 7-12.

 

God I can't wait for this! Trucks are the best at crushing small cars

 

a good target for this truck would be the Ibitshu Covet muhahaha


Gabester how much is this truck gonna weigh in at I would guess at something around 9 to 11 tonnes at most...

 

id imagine about 10 to 15 thousand pounds. shouldn't be more than 15,000. that's about what mine weighs and its a sleeper truck, so 13 or so?
