Released T-Series Drivetrain Expansion

IMHO it's not that big of a loss :d

 

I agree, thats pretty much the whole point of the existence of MD Series in the BeamNG Universe

 

Hi, I'm currently facing an issue with the mod, here is the bottom of the truck that I made :


But there is an issue with the front-rear driveshaft thta looking strange and breaking very easly :



Here is my config :



What do you think ?
Thanks

 

When using the new V8 engine it moves the transmission and transfer case forwards a bit. To fix this select the "twinsteer V8" transfer case which is extended backwards so that it will have the right driveshaft spacing.

 

i mean, i don't really see an issue with more options?

 

It's not worth adding as even the heaviest spec D-series still isn't enough to properly haul a semi-trailer. There's also the issue of air brakes to contend with.

 

oh, right. sry, I had my mind thinking of basically the goosenecks but with a smaller kingpin and 5th wheel setup instead
speaking of brakes: could hydraulic brakes be used on the MD-series, on the note that some class-B trucks like the chevy c4500-5500 use these?

 

Talking about brakes, not sure what it would take to do this but is it possible to make a version of the MD-series with hydraulic brakes instead of air brakes? Since driving a vehicle with air brakes requires a CDL in the US, many medium duty trucks offer hydraulic brakes for rental and lighter applications, where they might be driven by regular people rather than professional drivers

 

I'll consider it.

 

Note: Trucks with air brakes doesn't necessarily mean a "cdl" is involved. As long as the trucks gvwr is under 26,001 lbs and it has air brakes or not, it is not required to hold a cdl to drive it.

 

Looked it up and turns out a cdl is only required in this case, if the vehicle is transporting hazmat or more than 15 passengers (i.e. a bus) but not for regular cargo. I stand corrected on the rest.

 

I did once copy-paste the MD-Series brakes and modified them to be "airless". A pickup truck with airbrakes makes zero sense IMO.

 

Update 0.65
- Added Headache Rack Fuel Tank
- Added wide wheel T60 hood
- Altered "Log-Mule", "Dirt-Runner" and "Slant-Nose Heavy" configs to use the new tanks.

 

Awesome mod great to see the t series getting the love it deserves

 

Hey I got a question for a future update. Some trucks in the world have the rear steerable front wheels located further back. Is it possible for a future update to have the twin steer wheels further back?

 

That's probably the hardest and most cursed thing to do to the T-Series I've heard of so far.

I like it.

 

EFC what are your plans or ideas that you might add later on for this mod? People keep suggesting things, as did I. so I was wondering what you actually have planed and if you have any interesting ideas that your thinking about adding. I feel like this could help people with coming up with more reasonable suggestions and ideas that could befit the mod.

 

T-Series is an American Truck as you may know already. So having these types of Indonesian Semi Truck Chassis builds won't be possible what so ever.

That's better off with a mod itself like the Daewoo Commercial Vehicle mod

 

So apparently not all tandem axle trucks require a cdl???? This International Workstar 7500 gvwr is 23,500.
