[1.40] Roman Diesel by MADster Unofficial Update V.1.3.6

[PikPikker]

Hello!

Roman Diesel truck by MADster was a very great truck for ETS 2 1.31, it was one of the favorite trucks of drivers of that time. But time passed, and the truck did not get the official updates, which did not decrease its popularity. We all wanted to keep it up with the game versions, and we made different fixes to keep it up to date.

What have I done? I collected all the fixes, added a few details - and here we go - this new version was born.

For some of you who have never seen the original topic, here it is: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=251801

This truck has low engine power, so you might start getting late with your deliveries. I made a simple mod which will change average truck speed to 40 km/h so you will no longer be late while driving Roman Diesel: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=293968

Once again: I'm not a modeller, I'm just a "def guy" who tries his best to keep the truck up to date. Thus do not expect any updates which need modelling (new cabins, chassis, visual accessories ect.). That is why I'm posting the "How you can help the project" note in case any expert modelling people would like to help me to.. to do what I'm doing here.

How you can help the project:
There are some more things to do to make this truck even better, and here's the list:
1) ZF AK 5-35 transmission original ratios
2) BDF chassis
3) Mirror reflection fix
4) Cabin Accessories DLC compatibility
5) Man F8, Saviem and OAF front grill models:

perfect thank you for the update ....

[GHOSTRIDER-67]

Thanks for your all efforts to keep this Legendary Lion alive bro
My only wish for this truck has always been a MAN F8 front grill and a realistic transmission with a original engine sound, so....
I know the sound is a very complicated issue, but i hope you can add a MAN front grill for a future update

Can anyone remember if there was a template for this truck? I made a few repaints for the original mod (1.0) but I can't find the template anywhere.
