Has this been a thing?

Yup, @xXCARL1992Xx found the image earlier. And I called it back when the Western Star dealers were first discovered that the Freightliner shops would be the same with different signage.

I figured.

So no Special transport for ownable lowboys?

[xXCARL1992Xx]

offering drivers the option to purchase them and use them in an array of different jobs including Special Transport, Forest Machinery, and the Heavy Cargo DLC's.

On the new lowboy trailers, is anyone else's rear stinger getting out of balance when driving at highway speed?

Already reported

Thanks, @DICEEE!

It makes sense for SCS to gather the cargoes it has separated between the LOWBOY trailers under one roof (seriously, it looks complicated in the game.) They can solve this as follows. We should be able to carry all the loads in a trailer with 2 axles or any axle configuration (Of course some users will carry 60 tons on a 2-axle trailer , but someone who cares about realism like me would not do this). So I don't carry 55 tons or heavier loads in a 5-axle trailer (And I don't want to carry very light loads either). We can carry 33 tons of cargo on a 2-axle flatbed. I do not carry more than 25 tons on a 2-axle trailer.

From the lowboy trailers blogpost:

Drivers will now be able to purchase their own lowboy trailer and use them in the cargo market...

and

Lowboy Trailers have now also been updated to be included in various add-on packages including Special Transport and Heavy Cargo DLC's...

I think that the ST jobs won't be able to use the trailer ownership feature.

The thing I am most excited about - "Experimental transmission input shaft emulation and clutch brake support (g_clutch_brake)"

Did you check it already? Because I have and it seems to works a bit wierd.

In general, unsynchronized gearbox feels better -- you can clearly see that input shaft is actually emulated now, because it is finally possible to double clutch. And quite easy too. Previously double clutching was ridiculously hard -- much harder than just floating gears. So, now driving a truck with an unsynchronized gearbox feels much nicer.

On the other hand, clutch break works oddly. As far as I understand, in reality pressing clutch pedal fully, while moving with gear engaged, would seriously damage the gearbox, because input shaft would be slowed down by the brake, and output shaft would be rotated by truck movement. But here pushing pedal fully instead allows you to get in any gear, no matter what's your RPM and speed. So, with "g_shifter_synchronized 0" and "g_clutch_brake 1" pushing the pedal fully somehow makes gearbox act as if it is synchronized. Which is kinda wierd.

So, I wonder if anyone from SCS can explain, what exactly is behavior that they were going for, and if what i described is intended.

With that said, I will probably stay with "g_clutch_brake 0", as for now it feels more realistic, especially since it's now possible to double clutch.

I tried every possible combination yet I'm not getting any special transport from cargo market.
