Western Star Trucks Discussion Thread

I wouldn’t consider that too tall though. After the hood fix and fov adjustments (I keep them almost constant for the trucks) it’s just fine.

57X is a nice truck overall, only two things I do not like. First one is the dash, WS just could have changed at least the color scheme on it, to red for example, to match the standard color option.

The second one is a mistake made by SCS, the hood mirrors. I believe they just reused those from 49X. On 49X they are modeled correctly. But on 57x they must be corrected...

They fixed it, together with other things.

Well, in the patch notes it only mentions 1 fix for 57X, but I believe that there were many fixes/changes that were not mentioned.

Too bad they fixed only the exterior view for the hood mirrors, the inside view it's still the same.

I confirm.

I also noticed that there are no cockpit mounting bolts on the outside of the sunshield. The top picture shows the difference.

I'm hoping one patch for the 57x will be to add manual transmissions. I'm not interested in using a mod for it.

I don't think. All necessary licenses have already been obtained and the truck has been approved by Daimler. For the sake of a manual tr, will need to get some permissions again. Hardly anyone will do it.

Sorry for asking but there were only 2 transmissions when they added the 57X right? I'm seeing 6 in the truck config in-game now.

Part of those fixes include the introduction of few more transmissions.

We also want to put the Eaton transmissions mentioned on Western Star's website but we haven't got data of which exact transmissions are they supposed to be. We shall see what can we do about that.

They're working on it.

Can we also get that TV in the sleeper as an interior option? I'd love to remove it so I can see out that window when backing.

Nice to see that they fixed a lot of stuff, where can the changelog be found? If you could please tell me

Just curious, I don't understand the need for a mod to drive the 57x as an automatic, temporarily couldn't you just unplug the usb for the shifter?
I apologize for my ignorance as I have zero experience with shifters for this game.
