Released Wentward S3 (Updated for 0.33)

i have SOME c7 sounds from a 06' thomas ef, not sure about the quality though. ill have to look if you're interested

 

amazing!!!! thank you for making this!

 

Did you consider asking RenAzuma about using his Phineas Diesel 7.1L in this mod? If this bus had a reasonably long production cycle it wouldn't be entirely unrealistic (having two similarly sized engine options over different model years) and it would also provide some custom sounds (recorded from a DT466 if I remember correctly).

 

It's always exciting to see another school bus mod for the game (well any kind of bus in general). Hope to see more like it like maybe some kind of present-day Blue Bird, IC and so forth. Keep up the amazing work!

 

Wowzers

 

Any chance for an long nose?

 

I wonder if it would be worth fitting it with the lore friendly t series drive train or at least the engine sound

 

I think that might have to do with it being under weight. I stuck the school bus on a scale and it weight 16000lbs+/- but any specs on school buses I see put them at 25000lbs+/-.

 

you might be looking at gvwr

 

I was referring to the very weak brakes in this mod. They need to be way more powerful.

 

Yeah I think you're right I found a site that breaks down the weights by class and loaded vs unloaded.

 

Will it be have openable doors?

 

Well, the side door opens, not sure if the back door will be made openable or not.

 

It will be better with openable hatches like Hirochi Aero has.

 

Openable hatches and rear exit door would be nice, but I am OK not having them. You can pull them open with the nodegrabber, but openable would be a nice extra. Don't forget about the engine sounds. The new T-Series sounds would be better, or the Phiners Diesel sounds from the Gravil Durham (as Jackets64 mentioned)

And to Dummiesman, thank you for creating another quality mod.

 

At least, rear exit door…

 

Would it be possible to add some camera seating positions? It'd be fun to turn the bus over to AI and ride in the back. Very Sweet Mod. Loving it!

 

A rear openable door would be nice, for when you inevitably take it to the track and wreck it.

You can achieve a decent result by using the relative camera and pressing ALT+U to hide the UI, but keep in mind it isn't perfect, there will be no interior noise dampening and it won't bounce around. It's alright if you are OK with the tradeoffs.

 

I made a couple of custom ones, I'm just waiting to hear back on whether or not modding is allowed.

 

If modding is allowed, I will consider releasing a small config pack here.
