i see, the same reason why i don´t really like the 8x6 and 8x4 options.

about the fifth wheel, didn´t they anounce some options for the fifth wheel?

[parasaurolophus67]

@Stealth Daemon No? They never did.

Yes......... On ETS2. ATS already has branded ones since the Anthem.

[dkasper00]

Ets2 has jost as well.

Since the weird FOV/camera position issues in new TGX were fixed in recent update - can we have the same for 5700XE?
I like the truck but the camera/FOV is really bad, it has the same problems as TGX had (feeling like too close to the windshield)

[Optional Features]

No, the 49X was in September of 2020, the LT was a year later and they added the option to completely separate the fuel tank capacity from the frame of the truck, since then it has been the standard for every new truck, also in ETS2 for the new DAF and the new MAN.

Why haven't they done it to every other truck? Who knows, at first we assume it was to avoid breaking profiles, but the W900 rework proved it's possible without breaking anything, i assume they will get to it eventually, but adding the Power Hood to the 49X is the perfect time to update the fuel tanks and reduce the 36 chassis configurations.

Ah ok, makes sense.

ok, i somehow remembered reading something about "adjustable fifth wheels" hmm, strange...

This hood reminds me of Volvo VT880

That was something else. Despite having longer nose it also has pipes on the sides and different lookong filters on the hood. I wish we had that in the game

I totally agree. I remember when the VT880 first came out seeing them on the road while I was riding with my dad. Best looking Volvo they ever made imo.

[Freeze338]

Exactly.
