[DISC] Volvo VNL 2018 fix

SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

I guess I need to figure out how to convert my truck's skin (Jim Palmer) to the SCS Volvo.

I'll continue using this truck until it no longer functions, with the Doolite additions, since I'll definitely miss my custom license plates.

I'm home off the road until Tuesday, @Blackspots . I can definitely figure the skin out for you if you want. I already pulled the UV's, made a template, and started skinning this beast :)

Can I ask if there is a plan to add new parts to SCS' Volvo in the future (maybe the 760 cab)?
A 760 mod for the SCS VNL 2018 would be fantastic. I was a little disappointed when i realised that SCS is still sticking to their annoying as hell 3 cab`s policy. I hope one day they drop this like they did with the chassis a long time ago because in the past we had only 3 chassis for each truck aswell.

At least two of the three cabs they do offer are identical to the VNX, so all I think I really need to be happy right now is a VNX front bumper and a "no sideskirt". And maybe a mod that allows the 740 on the long chassis...

Anyway, thank you Galimim for maintaining the old monster for so long.

Another thing i would highly appriciate is if Volvo would give the licence for the VNR to SCS. I kinda like the look of the VNR 660.

Me too,

I'd really like a VNR 660 with the high roof,
It would go pretty well next to my Cascadia with the short sleeper.

Hey I'm very interested in the configuration on the last picture! Where did you get the 8x6 VNL? Looks awesome

It had a very good run. Working on this has thought me a lot about how the game works, how to work with BT and how you can push the game engine with a bit of smart thinking.
You've done an amazing job keeping it going and even with SCS's version being released, I think I'll find myself revisiting the good ole' galimim edition every once in a while. Volvos have been my favorite make for a long time and the 5 years you've given us with this mod has been wonderful. Thank you sir, using this mod has been an honor.

This was my favorite mod for quite a while... thanks for your work Galimim. I'll miss the 760 cab.

Best Regards

And why don't you launch a pack of your mods for the Volvo?

How did RJL do it for the Scania Streamline?
