More Realistic logs/timber on trailers

Dont Forget To Vote

Just Been testing out experimental beta 1.35 and have only just noticed how large and unrealistic the logs are on the schwarzmuller log trailer compared to the SCS log trailer.

If you compared these images to a real life image of a timber truck, you can see that the SCS trailer with logs is the one that resembles real life the most.

Anyway to get to my point, i believe the schwarzmuller timber trailer logs should be reworked and made to look more similar to real life or replaced with the scs logs as most timber lorries transport pine wood because of how fast it grows.

EDIT: as someone mentioned they should also be cut in to 2 halves rather then just one long log

There's a fourth option for your suggestion: to create 2 different cargoes: cheap slimmer fast-growing trees wood logs and expensive high quality wood big logs.

Also, the cheaper ones could come in 2 shapes: whole logs as now or regular-size cut logs as there are usual to see on roads:

They should cut them in half too, as it is rare with such long logs on a trailer ;)

i think they may have seen this as alot of log trailers are split into 3 different sections which really brings out the realism!
