Trailer Accessories/Options

[Centrino2]

Quick Suggestion (well, it took longer than I hoped):

I was going to say add a trailer with sideskirts to the game becasue a lot of these trailers have been showing up in America, but I guess it is really an aero accessory: http://www.atdynamics.com/products/trailer-skirts/

I hope to see these added to not just owned trailer (if that feature will be available) but also preinstalled on company trailers as well, randomly added accessories perhaps.

Also would be neat to see the sideskirts flap a bit in the wind, since I am talking about wind, I have made a previous suggestion about "wheel flap physics" so the wheel flaps will move as you are driving along.

18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker on the Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo Gamecube are able to simulate wheel flaps swaying away. If those systems can do it, then a modern errr.... "Economy" Computer should be able to handle this easily.

There is just something awesome about driving along heading towards the sunset on a one lane road in the middle of a desert with your wheel flaps swaying in the air.

the TrailerTail is so ugly and unnecessary that it makes me want to rip my eyes out and set fire to my body

i almost did the first time i saw one on the road

Yeah, I imagine truckers do not want to be bothered with that trailer tail as well, but I would like to see sideskirts added as an accessory to trailers, also pre added to trailers as well, like one trailer in a yard that does not have sideskirts (and/or tail) but then there is another trailer exactly the same as the last one but with sideskirts (or whatever other accessories).

Before this topic was just about aero accessories, but I have seen some lowboys with LED Beacons, well actually they call them Amber Strobes, so topic name changed.

I am sure I have seen this trailer before and the amber fixtures are strobes (flashing LED) not turn signals.

To me this looks way better than a dated looking rotating beacon.

Also there should be proper strobe support as well so they flash as bright as NFS Hot Pursuit blinding strobe lights, and give us all the seizures we want.

Better yet, since cop cars have been showing up in ATS why not give them strobe support as well.

Why not add strobes to trucks as well (strobe lightbar), light em up!

Watch on YouTube

Now if only I can find better examples
Don't know of any European trailers come with strobes or if strobes are used on Euro trucks

function > form

They may not be the best lookers, but the end result in fuel savings speak for themselves

less air resistance = less effort needed to move that weight
