Multiple Trailers in Traffic - ATS - v1.49.1

[PrinceRupert05]

nevermind it d/led just fine
quick question
what causes trailer in struck into the road?

[kotkreskowy]

If you mean ai double trailers having one of their axles stuck inside the road and being unable to move i think that's an SCS issue since i've seen it happen without the mod being used

[djadlib]

Yeah. It's a limitation of the scs physics engine i think

I downloaded the mod package and checked it with both Malwarebytes and Windows Defender. It came out clean. As did my entire PC.

Anyway, lots of new cargo in v1.46 which is slowing things down a bit but the update should be out in the next day or two.

Thx mate!

[Mr Larrington]

v1.46 now available - see first post for details. I did have a look at the trucks from the AI Truck Expansion mod mentioned upthread but the original mod as it stands has trucks with both

Code: Select all

	trailer_chains[]: "truck_semi"

and

Code: Select all

	trailer_chains[]: "truck_long"

in them, at which point untangling the thing started to give me a headache.

There'll likely be another update next week following the release of the Texas DLC because there's at least one lowboy cargo to be added only I've no idea what it's supposed to be or whether it's from the Heavy Cargo DLC or the base game or what. Also many of the cargo masses for newly-added cargo are total guesswork.

Edit: Messed up the new cargo on the triple flatbeds. New version uploaded - see first post.

It would be useful if scs would implement a "truck_small" (for 4x2 trucks with 28,5ft trailers) and a "truck_heavy" (for 8 axle trucks and heavy trailers) tag. It would make modding AI much easier.

[Mr Larrington]

It'd be even more useful if SCS made trucks other than 6x4 available in traffic too. However:

Mildly tweaked v1.46.1 now available - see first post for download link etc. This adds the space container lowboy cargo and Peterbilt 579 truck transports, and changed some cargo masses to be closer to what they are if one were hauling them oneself. The rest of them need checking too but that'll have to wait for a while coz it'll takes ages.

Something I'm wondering: Is it your mod that's causing flatbeds and stepdecks to have black and white reflective tape and tail lights, and the 'WTS' mudflaps in traffic, or should I be checking elsewhere in my mods? It looks like this:

Also, when a stepdeck or flatbed appears in traffic, it's always empty, same question as above, is it from your mod or elsewhere?

[KrysEmlyn]

This mod is the source of the "WTS" mudflaps texture that is getting applied to the Freight Market/AI traffic trailers.
It doesn't create the dark tail lights/black sections of reflective tape, though. That is possibly a mod conflict?
