We already have Volvo Construction Equipment and I think we should also have Liebherr, Caterpillar, Doosan, John Deere, Case and others

We can. It's g_cam_window_block. I have set it set up so that I cannot put my head out without rolling them down. I think it's 0.25 for my setting (which means the cam cannot go out unless the window is a quarter of full height or less).

First, thanks for this suggestion. I did not know this one was there.... I finally was able to do some testing on it and it works well. One thing is that the 0.25 setting means that your head can go out the window if you window is open .25 from the top. I find a more realistic setting to be 0.75, that way your window must be open at least 3/4 of the way. Again, thanks for this.

Ah ok, said it backwards. Thanks!

I agree. Why don't you make an offer for the fee? We'd love you to.

Start the bidding at €120,000 per brand.

Lol, I'd much rather be able to break down a lowboy and drive a dozer off than have it say Deere on the side.

On a sidenote, regarding something said in the blogpost...

Bridges are engineering wonders not architectural. Architects are piss, they don't have anything to do with bridge design

[xXCARL1992Xx]

architects are also engineers, do you think they just design something ? they have to do a bit more then to just draw on a bit of paper

Of course engineers are involved to make it work and not fall apart, but I've seen both dull and pretty bridges serving roughly the same purpose. Architects are definitely there in the process.

No. Of course they know some principles etc but in regards to bridge construction I wouldn't really give them any merit.

And "dull" bridges and the final design are a result of their required standards. Don't expect arches made from very expensive steel when not required.

Looking at the blog pictures, arch ones for larger span, truss bridge for heavier load (railway), stone ones are old and have more unique designs.

Bridge engineering is it's own branch and specialty, some of the largest construction companies in the world are focused on bridge construction and maintenance.
You just don't call them "architectural" wonders given the massive amount of engineering that goes behind their design and construction.

I do agree though that due to their size they are very distinct and due to interesting designs they become landmarks.

Silly night talk after a beer I know, just something to write and laugh about here but thought saying it.

architects also do structural calculations, the crux of bridge engineering, if this doesnt work it will collapse, so yes, they are more then a "bit" important, they are not just there to give something a design, they also have to mathematically make it work or we get something like Genoa again (which was more of cheap construction materials and cutting corners)
