Big Stars - Actros/Arocs SLT [1.48.*|V1.7.3|07.08.2023]

Just when I started to think "Would't it be nice if there are flashing lights on the grill?", your video canceled my question.
Excellent job on the short wheelbase with different tower and slots as well.

Hello Detlef.

Thank's for you're reply. I have followed the way that you described, but it's keep saying to me that it can't find any truck in the mod file. After acouple a times i downloaded ets2studio (the one you posted with de WTD addon), but it's keep saying the same thing (see picture). Do i have to fill in the internal name or something like that? What am i doing wrong?

Sorry Roger, picture has been removed.

You are right - for whatever reason, ETS2studio does not recognize the two trucks automatically.´:-(

I have updated my Google Drive today with the latest version of my truck database. This is the version I am currently working with myself, so you should find the proper definitions now.

CU,
Detlef

Thanks for your comments!

@S7R4N63R: You already missed the first test (a few posts ago). - https://abload.de/img/2017-04-18_50zj75.gif

@LadenSwallow: Thanks again for jumping in and offering your help!! By the way, i have just noticed your first name and a familiar profile picture! Thanks again!

@Roger82: With the updated and shared database by LadenSwallow, I hope you get it now. - Otherwise write again.
I will answer about the older SLTs, in another post. It is a more complex theme and I can not just say yes, maybe or no.

Slots for Actros nearly done!

I have just tested the slot positions for the lower and upper grill.
Seems that i only have to adjust 2 slots.

Next step - Advanced Trailer Coupling
Since the "heavy dlc" is coming in the near future, adjusting the collision boxes for the advanced trailer coupling got highest priority.

After that, i will add the grill slots to the files of the Arocs.

Already had an first look at the advanced trailer coupling. - Worked with low loaders by scs.
I will have another look!

Best regards,

Can you take a look at some Jazzycats trailers? There was usually the problem.

Hello Detlef.

I have tried you're updated version van ets2 studio, en ther they are.
Thanks for the effort. i most happy with it.

Kind regards Roger

@galimim: Jazzycats trailers are not my taste, so i have never touched them and i will probably have no time for it.
But with the latest adjustments, it could be fixed!

@Roger82: About the older Actros SLT - WrittenExample already created appropriate models some time ago. But because of problems, the variants did not make it to the game. Since i am still upgrading Big Stars (New Actros/Arocs) and also plan to redo my Scania Upgrade, it is rather unlikely to see these in the near future.

@all: Did a few adjustments for advanced trailer coupling. This should solve some problems.
Keep in mind, these chassis aren't intended to haul "normal" trailers.

Watch on YouTube

Best regards,
Stefan

Thank you for the reply. It looks spot on now!

Hello Thunderhawk.

Thanks for you're reply, and the great work on the BigStars.

Which flashers/lights (public and actual addons/mods) do you use?
I still haven't decided, how i should finally create the flashers (technically - amount and kind of flares).
So, creating an compatibility pack for some good flashers, could be an idea.

Slots for Actros & Arocs done!
