[1.8] Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 fix

[galimim]

Another fix, I made this one for my self in spring but I have decided to give it some more love. This time it is a Mercedes-Benz Actros. The base for this fix is the same as the one done by @ByYurtkuran (viewtopic.php?f=35&t=272750), but as always with my improvements.

I suspect that the model itself will be heavy on the triangle count, so keep that in mind. I did my best optimising it, but as always there are limitations.

The mod will require the Actros Tuning DLC for icons. The mod will work without, but you will get errors because of the missing icons.

Originally by Kaptan06, RTA

Thanks to:
Low deck parts thanks to Sogard3

Updated interior with correct lightning by Oscar

OM470 sounds by Max2712

Interior with tunel by Sherman

There will only be one cabin available and that is a Streamspace L-cab 2300mm. It will use the SCS interior since that is the best quality one out there.

I need help though, I need someone to help me with the template. The original was a mess, and I would like to do it properly this time. So if anyone can give me an assist, I would be very grateful!

Sounds good... The buttons in the cockpit are actually red. Can you make these white lights as red as they really are in the game? If you need to give an example; viewtopic.php?t=184986
Thanks.

Again you will be our hero! Thanks a lot for your hard work, I can not wait to see more

@galimim

Well maybe you can optimize more the model using the SCS parts of the chassis like chassis frame, rear fenders, taillights and maybe sideskirts. That will help me a lot at making the low deck chassis And maybe will work also some DLC parts with only def files.
The rest of parts like front fenders, headlights, bumper and grill are totally different from the regular Actros so I won't ask you to fit them because it's impossible
Good luck with your project

Very nice, been waiting on a fixed up Mp4 for a while.Two quick questions if you do not mind.
Is this available in RHD?
And did you fix the misaligned steering wheel?

Thanks for your time.
