    it'd be safe to assume that at a future update, we might have the twin steer drive axles again instead of just the 1 front axle?

    Twin-Steer AWD is definitely something I'm gonna try to rework for the new axles in the future.


    Update 0.59:

    MD-Series:
    - Added the 640 CUI 'Twin-Six' V12 gas engine
    screenshot_2024-09-20_03-06-00.png
    - Added the Gavril 6.9L Gas V8
    screenshot_2024-09-20_03-02-20.png
    -
    Added Gasoline fuel tanks
    - Added High-Performance Radiator
    - Added various manual transmissions(6-speed'Single-Shift', 8-Speed'Dual-Shift',Super-Eight,Super-Ten)
    - Added 'Splitter Toggle(Hold)' Keybind similar to the T-series

    Notes:
    - Exhausts are not routed correctly for the gas engines.
    - V8 slightly clips the firewall.
    - No animated pulleys or throttle bodies
    T-Series:
    - Fixed Drive shaft on Single drive extended frame
    - Fixed Generator exhaust
    - Fixed and re-added weed-burner exhaust.
    - Added Tridem + Lift axle rear suspension.
    - Fixed E-drive controller
    - Remade TL83 'Pacific' and TL83 'Tipsy' Configs

    The off-road tires were all a part of Bella's semi mod. The wide steers are working for the single steers. I'll eventually get them added to the twin-steer as well as add the bar-grip tires to them.

    Yea i was hoping it had an engine brake or maybe an exhaust brake. Also i think air over hydraulic brakes would have made more sense for a medium duty vehicle instead of full air brakes.

    I just downloaded the mod, and it is very cool but there is one thing missing. I want to install the 10-speed automatic but I don't see it in the transmission options? How can I add it to my truck?

    This mod only includes 6 and 7 speeds autos as those seem to work the best with using stock BeamNG control logic and are accurate to IRL.


    The mod linked below includes a 12-speed automated Transmission with custom control logic.

    The twin axle, perhaps. The big V6, not so sure.

    Seeing the route this mod had taken now, I feel like it needs a name change.

    The MD is Cleary based off the chevy Kodiak pre and post facelift hoods, yes the twin axles would be nice as seen

    There's an empty space between the rear axle and the steps. I think we could put the extra axle there.

    Tandem axles I'd have to see how the MD's suspension/frame is setup.

    As for a big block V6 the big issue with making that is that there isn't really an existing sound config that would match such an engine.

    I have another idea, how about putting the 8.9 liter TCM bus engine into the MD-series, and putting the MD’s engine into the T-series? I think the 640 cui from the MD would fit under the T60 hood and if not, it’ll definitely fit under the larger hoods

    Any idea on when will the latest patches get to the repo? My copy is still stuck on 0.58.2.
