Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread
Re: Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread
I’ve seen that the new SCS Volvo side indicator lights are not Led like the Real Life ones. I don’t know if it’s a flaw or is that normal

As good as this truck is, it illustrates why mods will always have a place in the game. People want options that SCS simply will not provide

Re: Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread

I don't think Paccar owns the copyright for this sound

Re: Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread
Adding electric trucks would engage not only vehicle team but also programing team (maybe not that intensively because it could be solved by adding a different type of green marker and some time skip option for charging, but still) as well as the map team (they will need to rework some parts of the map in order to add electric chargers). I don't think that's worth it, at this point electric trucks are still more of a quirk than widespread thing, no need to add them now. Maybe in a few years, but for now I'd prefer if SCS worked on rigids instead.harishw8r wrote: ↑30 May 2023 13:00 I think I would still take the abysmal range over not having them altogether. Best case they could make the range equivalent to a daycab with the lowest tank capacity. Although there are other better ways to utilise the vehicle team, it isn’t to say that electric trucks had to be excluded for those reasons.
Re: Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread
If they want to add something, they WILL figure out all the technicalities, so relax. Going by the charger logic, there are so many features (say used truck dealer) missing in the game. Do you think they should not add them citing ‘too big map to update?’ That’s not how it works. They can add it if they wish to. The real question is: Do they wish to?
Re: Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread
Used truck dealer could be simply some sort of in-game website or something. But even if that required map changes it is still way more needed feature than electric trucks.
Considering obviously limited SCS bandwidth when it comes to adding new features I hope the electirc trucks are very low in priority list. Freightliner sold so far only few hundred units of eCascadia, Tesla Semi barely entered mass production, electric trucks still aren't even close to being produced in mass quantities, there is not much reason to add them to the game for the nearest few years.

I agree, the New VNL should have been equipped with 760 cab options. For me, 860 is too large & too fancy. 760 is the most popular model so would be nice if it's represented in the game.
Current truck : 2021 Scania 660 S - Twin wheel tag
Re: Volvo Trucks Discussion Thread
Uh, can anyone explain why on one profile, when I turn my retarder on and up the strength of it, the stick moves while on a different one, the stick does not move, but the trip advisor warns me that it is on? Like it somehow prefers my engine brake over the retarder when it comes to the stick moving. Really weird, can't figure out why that's happening.
Edit:
For clarification, this is the stick I'm talking about.
