[REL] [1.43+] AI Truck Expansion

Forum rules
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.

Really enjoy this mod. Seeing other trucks with hood mirrors and seeing a more realistic kind of Heavy traffic makes the sim much more immersive. Thank you for this!

Still very rough WIP, but in addition to the 4x2 chassis trucks I've also experimented with adding more straight trucks other then the Mack RD, I present to you, the 49x :P

Once I get these working how I want them, I plan to also make a version with the W900 and 389 :D

Quick update because its been a minute

I've decided I'm gonna remake the mod.
I've read up on the documentation on how the parts and variants system works in SCS games, and realised that I can make more variable trucks a lot more efficiently

Basically the way I was doing it right now is exporting a new model for every variant of truck I wanted to make, which is both slow, inefficient and bloats the size of the mod. :(


It's gonna take a while for me to remake everything, but hopefully it'll make adding more variants and such easier in the future.
and perhaps then move over to a ETS2 version too perhaps!

As for now though, this mod is 100% compatible with 1.40 from my testing. But don't expect any new additions until I get a hang of the variants system :D

How did I not discovered that mod before? This is what I seek for a long time :O . For the basics a bit of chrome parted Mack Anthems would be great, for the complexity, some trucks with hood mirriors, bullbars and the rest of the custom parts would be great. Finally I won't look for A.I. truck traffic packs which has a bad quality models. Ty ^v^

New version released!

Its been a while since I worked on this mod, but I'd figured I'd at least upload what i've had done so far.
I've completely reworked the Cascadia, adding more varients, including both 4x2 and 6x2 flavors of the daycab, as well as a AeroX version of the sleepers.
(Using stock wheels for now, aerox wheels are a to-do)

On top of that, I've also reworked the Volvo VNL daycab trucks, so those got a few more variants too! (No 4x2 versions yet!)

On top of that, I've also included the straight truck version of the W900. I know that they really aren't used like this IRL, and I may change it in the future. I was gonna include the 49X as well but I decided to wait till I get around to making both SBA and SFA versions of the 49x.

Finally I upped the International LT's spawn rate a bit to make them more common. No extra versions yet! Just the SCS ones.

Enjoy and lemme know about any bugs please!

Also enjoy some screenshots of the new trucks

Great job buddy. If it's possible, could you add 49X with a sleeper option on the roads ?
