[1.48 Steam][REL] Volvo FH3 (V1.11)

Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

I'm always surprised when someone works his ass off to freely offer an awesome mod when there are always people asking for more! Give the guy a break!

I have a rough idea and ready-made models for creating the second generation, but for this it will be necessary to slightly redo the selected part so that it fits the Volvo fh2 radiator grille and make it interchangeable, that is, 2 options fh3 and fh2

Man finally someone really remade the interior in high quality! Most mods reuse the SCS version.
Finally my favorite truck in high quality ☺️

The first attempts to create an exterior fh2, slightly redesigned the front grille and made it as an optional accessory. Now the bumper and headlights are next in line, then baking and setting up materials.

Looks good for a first attempt. One thing here is to be mindful of vertex colour settings, as the grille looks darker than the rest of the bodywork.

As you do more research into the model, you will for sure find out the FH2 is more than just a grille change. Lots of subtle differences in design elements on both the outside and the inside, not to mention mechanical differences.

And if you want to incorporate these parts into the truck properly ( like make them swap at the same time so that you don't end up with parts exclusive for the FH2 or the FH3 on the same truck), you might also have to mess with the def files and make them work together without conflict, which will be a headache by itself.

Also, if you are like me who don't happen to drive trucks or have contacts with people who do, you will most likely have to do the research online, which could also be a challenge, especially for older models like the FH2. Like when I sometimes find it a struggle to find useful documents or photos at a useful angle for some obscure parts, like a cupholder, the anchor for a sun visor, or the icon for a button right next to the steering column, so on. Probably because I'm just too pedantic :lol: .

I am starting to ramble now, so I should stop here. Hope I haven't discouraged you, but these are something to keep in mind if you want to commit fully to this.

Let me know if you need help regarding all of this.

I'd love to see the 'Valiant' back in the game ;)

The game was so pretty in my memories....

Exactly what johhny says, the differences between the FH3 and FH2 are far far more than just some slightly different headlights and grilles. For example the interior even though it's similar, it's different enough that it should be made from scratch, and many other small but important details.

I'm really not a fan of this thing that also SCS did with the T EVO, that the old T and the new T are the same truck and you just have to chose the right combination of parts to make it one or the other. I really don't like it because 1 it's confusing and 2 I see many truck's that player's have made that have parts from both versions and that just looks stupid. If you or anyone else wants to make an FH2 it should be made as a completely separate truck IMO.

I drove for 5 years a 2012 Volvo FH 3 Globetrotter and sometimes a 2007 Volvo FH 2. There a lot of difference between this two trucks. Volvo gives 2008 the FH 3 series a full new look. They reworked a lot of parts inside and outside of the truck. There is not only a new Front mask and a other sun visor. A lot of parts of the interieur are different. Johnny do a good job with his volvo mod, but if someone wants a Volvo FH 2 with the same quality like this FH 3 - you need a completly new Mod. The real FH 2 gets in all years some different updates too.. So, a FH 3 has much more new parts than some other front lamps..
