Adjustable roof deflector on Cascadia and future trucks

#1 Post by SirVirgoTheMess » 11 Dec 2020 16:44

Hello everyone,i had this idea in mind since almost a day and would like to share it with you.Some of you may know about the roof deflector on the Cascadia(the standard,cheap one).In real life,this deflector is adjustable in angle,depending on what trailer is attached.This bring me to this idea : adjustable angle of the deflector on the ingame Cascadia,and also for the future trucks which has it.

Please let me know what you think everyone,and thank you SCS if you're looking at it :)

EDIT : thank you everyone for the support :)

If the deflectors will affect aerodynamics, change fuel consumption, then yes. This can be a simple calculation: if the deflector is directed towards the front upper corner of the trailer, then the angle of inclination is optimal. If the deflector is directed higher, then the air resistance increases due to the deflector, if lower, it increases due to the trailer.
If this is just a decoration, then I see no point in additional work.
