SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

[Rel] DAF 2021 Plastic Grilles

#1 Post by Winchester1979 » 10 Jun 2021 21:43

Quick and dirty little mod that adds plastic versions of certain parts for the new DAF that weren't included in the SCS release.

Included in this mod:

Update 1.0.2:

[ external image ]

Added plastic and full plastic front masks, semi-painted side mirrors, full plastic window trim for XG (not available on XG+ IRL), and definitions for old-school logos from DAF XF Euro6.

Update 1.0.3: (download here):

Added statements to the sunvisor definitions to make them visible from inside the cab.

Update 1.1: (download here):

[ external image ]

Removed painted grille parts and fenders (Mohegan did a much better job); added proper plastic upper grilles for DAF XF 2021.

Great mod! Would be cool if the DAF logo can be added as painted too.

But by far, it taskes the DAF to another level.

I immediately thought about these options. I also noticed that there are practically no shadows in the cockpit. The track definitely needs some work.

I want to wait for SCS to correct the mirror issues etc before I do that, they may make other changes to the model that I have to correct for when they do that. After the SCS model is as bug-free as it's going to get, I'm going to redo the parts that need redoing and hopefully add some more stuff besides.

If SCS don't fix the invisibility of the cockpit sun visor, can you fix it?

Not sure how the visibility is determined, so I'm not sure what I can do there. It might just be a definition problem, but I don't have a clue. (Edit: This turned out to be a supremely easy fix, just needed to add an "interior_model" statement pointing to the same model. Will upload the fix as soon as I'm sure I'm not fixing anything else right now...)

SCS will need to do *some* fixing anyway, because of the UK plastic camera mirrors bug, and I've suggested where Oscar will see it that they separate out the silver roof trim themselves while they're at it - they don't need to supply any alternate parts, but just making an SCS-supplied dot and first part will make it so much easier to supply the aftermarket stuff.
