[REL] [1.43+] AI Truck Expansion

[Ness]

The purpose of this mod is simple. Add more variety to the stock SCS truck traffic with hopefully minimal FPS impact.
This is a mod I've been wanting to do for a long while, and finally managed to learn how to mod ATS

Thanks for sharing. Is this mod compatible with TrafficManiac's mods?

Friend thank you very much, it looks AWESOME do you think that in the future you can add the mid-roof variants for International Lonestar, Mack Anthem and Freightliner Cascadia?

Additionally I have another question, is it possible to change the white rims for chrome ones on the Peterbilt 579 and 389 in traffic? thank you very much for reading this comment

Definitely got more cab variants planned in the future! and yeah it is. I might consider that for the next update. ^^

I'm not sure what their mods add but the only possible mod conflict I can think of is any other mod that modifies the default SCS def files for the trucks, the extra trucks I've added should not be effected.

Bobtails are in the base game, they're pretty rare tho from what I've seen, most commonly seen parked but I've seen them driving around on occasion

"Modern" VNL, the ones in traffic are the pre-2016 facelift, also hood mirrors!

In addition, changed the stock 389 to use chrome wheels, look a lot better imho
