3) And a little bug of the Scot - when you look through the rear window in the day cab - you don't see the chassis, but in the current game version the chassis is seen through it on another trucks.

There is a new option "show_chassis_rear" in 1.44 and later that will make the chassis visible: https://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Games/ ... uides/1.44 . But I'm not sure if adding the option to the interior.sii is enough or that also the model has to be updated.

One more thing - I did not find an animation of the far light stick... Does it exists in this mod or not? And how does it work on the real truck?..

Which, the highbeams? It would've been a button on the floor next to the clutch; not really worth putting in. I do intend to add an indicator light for it eventually though.

As for rear chassis visibility – it's in the works. I decided 2.1 needed to be out last week so I finished up what I could and pushed a few things off for 2.2. I'd rather suffer through another month or two of an existing issue than a whole bunch of new reports of duplicated accessories in the interior view; much easier to ignore.

so, now that you mention: aside from visible chassis, what's in store for version 2.2?

[IwantPETERBILT350]

I tried doing some research and i cant find much about these about these trucks. Do you know of like a website or something about these trucks?

[PikPikker]

Thanks for your answer, Smarty!

Now I feel like so impressed about the upcoming 2.2 version

The rough to-do list for 2.2:
- rework exterior interior (going to bake from the interior model to low-poly and hopefully drop the poly count significantly)
- show_chassis_rear + any changes necessary to avoid duplicated accessory models
- add 2+ new paint jobs
- finally finish the Varashield by adding the servo
- add some missing chassis details
- add some missing interior details
- (possibly) rework the radio and CB models

So, nothing too exciting. Keep in mind that this could easily change - finishing the Varashield has gotten kicked through every update since like 2.0.1.

That is very exciting indeed!

One other thing I've noticed when driving the Scot is that the air horn sounds don't have a doppler effect on them (so the pitch is always the same, in the 8 cam and in multiplayer), and another thing is that if you sound the airhorn, and then sound it again maybe a second (or less) after, it for some reason cuts off the airhorn audio.

I realise these are by no means major issues, but they may still be worth looking into.

I have just released a mod which adds EF 5, 6 and 7 speeders to this wonderful truck. If you are interested, you can have a look: viewtopic.php?t=319327
