Kenworth Trucks Discussion Thread

[flight50]

One day I'd really like to know how the license rights works with the truck brands. It would be really cool if there was an 'under the hood' blog explaining the whole process

Yeahhhh it would have been great had Carthoo got to that before he left SCS. We are now 5 years past that and counting. It's something we will probably never get at this point though.

Yeah, i agree with Flight 100%, this community can't handle something like that, it is the whole reason SCS backed down on speaking too early about certain things, sounds good in paper, but in practice it is a terrible idea, all we need to know is that they are working on it, the next time they talk about one of those trucks, it should be on the blog to release them.

[Smaland]

And frankly speaking, the system we have right now works perfectly, i doubt if SCS did something like that we'd have as many truck as today...

this is most likely why we don't see regular truck updates and customization updates, example Western Star 57X still only has 2 cabins after how long. this is why i think the ng t680 is in limbo. they could of released the update long a go. but something either a Kenworth didn't like or a approve or b it was shelved for other trucks / projects for reasons they cant talk about.

doesnt the 57x only have 2 cabs irl too?

At first, SCS released 3 cabins. Then it turned out that the WS were not ready to sell the 60-inch cabin due to the lack of parts in the IRL, and SCS removed it.
Today, the WS sell all three cabins, but for some reason SCS has not returned the 60-inch one.

They made the 48" that the 57X was supposed to have before global part shortages, a 60" was never modelled. They did not include it because it is not offered IRL.

Well, according to WS web, 60" cabin exists ...

(Look in Sleeper section)

[FierbetoN]

Did I say it doesn't? They were supposed to offer a 48" and now they don't, it was modelled and never released.

But maybe you meant 48" version ...
