    Will this TC2000 have it's own chassis? It's kind of clever to steal stuff from the T-Series :rolleyes:, but I bared in mind that it's a rear engine configuration, so in summary it will have it's own chassis?

    Yup totally new chassis design :cool: still based on the T-Series though just modified to house a rear engine. A schoolbus chassis is basically a long semi truck chassis so I took the same approach with the T-series, and working smart dictates' if it aint broke don't fix it, My mods are Frankenstein's - a bunch of already made stuff glued together to make something new, for example the school bus has, moonhawk parts, D-Series parts, van parts and T-Series parts all mashed together to make a school bus, If you don't have to make it from scratch don't make it from scratch, for example I doubt I can make a headlight better than the dev's can so I don't, I just use what they made. You can import parts from other cars, orient them, re-shape them, and your good to go, your looking at minutes vs hours of work. Once someone gets past the ludicrously tough learning curve and learns the basics of making, modding and re-shaping already made things, then modding in BeamNG gets to be very very easy to add whatever you want. Im still surprised by the things Im able to come up with in BeamNG. The best comparison I can make is to lego blocks... BeamNG is a big bag of lego blocks, and you can just create what you want.

    Alright, but what about the steering wheel I mentioned a few pages back? Instead of putting a custom-made one, could you modify the "Gavril" to (Blue Bird Logo) on the steering wheel instead? Also, you mean things like the air vents on the T-Series?

    The new steering wheel will be on the Flat nose bus, I'll add different stearing wheel types to both busses eventually though, for the flat nose bus it will be the semi steering wheel since the flat nose bus is closer to a semi type of style, I used a lot of parts from the semi such as the wheels, frames suspension, glass, etc.

    Hopefully you aren't done modeling to house the new engine but maybe you should do a flat nosed front engine type of bus. Those seem more typical nowadays. But good luck on your project :)

    I did :). He said that he was making a flatnosed rear engined school bus. Maybe you should read the posts above you!
    I don't mind rear engined school buses but maybe after this bus, he can convert it to front engine.

    This bus is a rear engine bus, currently I have no plans to make a front or mid engine flat nose bus, when that's done I'm going to make the van bus

    And then I'm going to make maps

    Road Map - Flat Nose bus July 1st, Van bus August 1st.

    Its a steep learning curve but really worth it, took me about a year and I only know about 70% of what there is to know but its enough to mod with relative ease, I would start with moding the official cars, for example change the D-series wheels to semi wheels etc. Learn little by little

    My favorite part of the mod was the version 2.0 skin, instead of the new one

    Found this picture on the web that perfectly resembles the bus:

    Could you make functional windshield wipers for the flat nose?

    Yes of course lol I cant create a real driver from scratch at the moment, thats high level stuff, I used the model made by B25MITCH called pickup_driver. I left the name "The Stig" because it gives more credit the Author

    Is it just me or each time i crash this bus very hard my game completly crashes. I crashed a bus head on with a truck at over 100 mph , and when they first hit , the bus bend a bit , then the game crashed. Each time . If i use a different vehicle but the same truck , the game works just fine. What's going on ?

    PS : same happends if i drop a belaz or a plane on a single bus. I've dropped planes on trucks before and it worked just fine. Maybe , just an instability from time to time but not a crash . The game crashes each time i drop a belaz or a plane on the bus.
    Again , i have this issue only with the bus.
