Re: SCS General Discussion Thread
Bit late to the party but FWIW I do like both the new Pete and the Kenworth. These new American trucks are growing on me. Still not a fan of the "classics" though, I'm afraid.
Re: SCS General Discussion Thread
I like some classics (Mack R Series, Mack DM, Mack RB, Mack B series, Autocar) seeing as I grew up around them, my family had a fleet consisting of R Series, DM and a RB and two Autocars. Others I can tolerate in small doses(W900, Pete 389, Freightliner FLB.) Nothing wrong with them at all, just no memories.
In a world full of swift drivers, I'm an O/O.

Re: SCS General Discussion Thread
What I don't understand about those "aerodynamic" models is the "step" between the front cabin (narrower) and the back rest zone (wider). Wouldn't be way more aerodynamic if there would be no step but a continuous surface? There's no need for the zone of the door (on the outside) to be parallel to the main axis of the truck; it could be sloped to transition from one width to the other.
It's like they were intentionally sacrificing aerodynamics there so the trucks weren't so different to classics (that always had well differentiated the two volumes of the cabin and the rest zone). They don't make them as good as they can't just because they fear the purchasers will look for another model?

Re: SCS General Discussion Thread
You mean a truck like the Kenworth T2000 where the cab and the sleeper were the same width?

The Kenworth Multipla and the Fiat T2000 both looks good.
Speaking of Kenworth, SCS has to rework on the ‘Dynamic’ wheel rims. The slots (holes) seem to be way bigger than irl.

Re: SCS General Discussion Thread
The Multipla is just grotesque but I respect the idea to be just different.
The KW T2000 is still one of my favorites, it’s one of the reasons why I play Pedal to the Metal again now and then. (Okay it’s also the fastest truck in that game.) I once saw one near Berlin/GER and indeed its sleek aerodynamic cabin and sleeper unit did look good to me.

Re: SCS General Discussion Thread
I once drove a T-2000 for about a week as a courtesy vehicle from Kenworth. It seemed large & clumsy but had tons of room inside.
