Heyho Heavy Haulage-Fans,

first of all: thank you @thunderhawk for this great mod. Just touring around Europe with it ingame - and then, in December, I spotted an Actros SLT right on a little truck stop in the south-west of Germany. Lucky, ehh? This was on Bundesstraße 35 near a little village.

So, now for the real thing: I mustn't use this 3d-Modell for a Blender footage, am I right? So, I don't wanna hurt somebody's copyright...

Cheers
Yannik

@Scania_V8_Rat: You must not use the 3D model! But you could create your footage.

Hello, as you can know, davidzoli had to stop working on his Actros mod for some reasons. Can you ask him to give you permition to update his Actros mod ? It would be a shame to leave it at the mercy of fate.

Best regards,
Roman

@Hakan: Thanks for your comment!

@Dotaaar: I have to say several things to this.

1. We had planned dozens of parts for Big Stars. And i still want to realize several of them. Davidzoli already created much of it in "plastic parts and more".
   We even had planned to include all chassis by scs and even more (with real wheelbases) So that Big Stars would not just be about 4 axle heavy tractors, rather a giant mercedes-mod.
2. A few months ago, i already had an conversation with Davidzoli. He asked me about "taking over his project", once he would start a similar mod for another truck.
   But since I was busy in real life and the new truck wasn't released by scs, we haven't talked about it again.
3. It is always hard to work on stuff by someone else. Just because people do things in different ways.
4. 8x4 seems to be coming by scs.

And here we are. I just started to work on Big Stars again. And since time has high value, i have created my patreon page.
Upgrading Big Stars and maintaining plastic parts and more, could be one solution.
Putting both together as well. Or creating a complete new mod, optimized to be compatible with the new stuff by scs.
I don't know at this point. We will see!

Best regards,
Stefan

I meant like repairing bugs and errors only. I do not want to force you to creating new stuff.
