Re: Flatbed cargo DLC
It is probably already mentioned somewhere in this thread, but I don't feel like browsing through 34 pages. So here goes my contribution:

I still can't believe those machines are not already in game, since we have already both rollers and milling machines. I hope we see them soon.

Flatbed trailer type that should get added as well known as a "side kit" or "Covered wagon". I took this photo on my Iphone.

Re: Flatbed cargo DLC
I too voted "yes" for more flatbed cargoes...when I started flatbed I was getting the same type of cargo (reservoir tank and lumber with a couple of pressure tanks sprinkled in) and switched to the sliding tarp (Conestoga) I felt kind of weird/odd to be hauling toys, furniture, and what not in it.
Since then I have parked it (42 runs with it) and I might give the Dry Van a try with my Pete 389 once I get back to the garage (currently running the reefer trailer with the Cascadia and trying out the container trailer).

Re: Flatbed cargo DLC
No vans or cans in my fleet and I don't do logging either.
I made a number of flatbed load suggestions but I haven't seen them yet. Loads that do not need any special licensing to avoid copyright conflicts.
Large structural steel and concrete prefabs such as bridge beams and building components.
Large cut stone.
Bricks and blocks.
Steel and wood trusses.
Rebar.
Large crates that can be labelled to contain many things.
Large cast aluminum slabs.
Poles for power lines and streetlights.
Oil refinery and other factory components.
Silos and cisterns.
Tanks and cylinders for many different industries.
Most of these would consist of low poly count forms and shouldn't be any challenge for even moderately talented developers. (I do not qualify. I have zero talent for such things)

The bigger they are, the harder they haul!

I'm a flatbed driver irl and there are a TON of things that SCS could add just for flatbed. Its a wonder why they haven't yet tbh...

Re: Flatbed cargo DLC
@kitsunelegend. I covered those items way back in Oct 2018. viewtopic.php?p=1008302#p1008302. You may want to start from page one and go thru all the pages. I've posted a ton of references. There isn't much that I haven't covered or that any one else hasn't added. I stopped adding to this list though because it seems like I'm doing it for nothing. Cargo doesn't seem like its a focus which is quite disappointing. I always though the point of the game was to deliver cargo from point A to B. Even the cargo we have, some of it doesn't make sense on where its picked up and where it goes. We don't have the right depots and enough depots is one issue. But still cargo has to get overhauled and addressed to make more sense. Maybe one day Cargo will become more important.
My post are only thoughts and ideas. Don't assume it makes ATS.

Re: Flatbed cargo DLC
Wouldn’t it be better to make the nuclear fuel casks heavy cargo though due to the outer layer of those things usually being made of concrete, which itself is extremely heavy?
