Here's another glamour shot showing off some of the sun-shadow work I did last weekend:

Regarding the P-500S, it's been in the plans since I started this project and will be a 'Phase II' sort of thing.

Looks well snazzy, that!

Good to hear! Guess I'll have to wait a little longer but worry not Smarty, there are tons of other trucks to drive - especially the ones you made, so take your time

Just a little progress update. I've begun the interior upholstery which is, and will continue to be quite a process. Interiors – especially soft surfaces – are still very new to me, relatively speaking. That said, it's been less of a gong-show than I expected. There've also been some additions and improvements to the exterior. I'm off work this week, so I'm hoping to be able to pour some additional time in to getting this much closer to release.

Oh, that looks SO good! Can't wait to see what's next :3

Amazing work so far, that looks great!
Once released, I'm certain I'll be using it for many many years to come.

One question, is there a chance you could include the Grote 76223 beacon (from the Scot & Peterbilts) an option?

I know you've modelled the wider Grote 79043 beacon specially for the Paystar cab
(pictured below), but having the choice between the two would be appreciated.

Looking great smarty, really appreciate your time in bringing us these unique trucks.

[HayesPacific]

Ohh yes – could not agree more.

Personally, I think Smarty is one of if not the best modders currently in the ATS community. No patreon barrier and 99% accurate truck models. Especially rare trucks too, like the Pacific 500 here.

[PikPikker]

IwantPeterbilt350 is right - I too can hardly think of better truck creator here alongside ATS community. And the thing I personally like is that the truck archives are extremely lightweight, making them pretty easy to work with both for game engine - and me - file structure is also absolutely pleasant to work with. Yet the trucks are still highly close to their prototypes.

Of course there are some disadvantages - like, the sound, which is just fixed NTC sound for all of the engines... (and interiors too - actually, it's understandable that putting others' sounds in your own mod is difficult due to copyrighting rules, so it's not a complaint or kind). But on the other hand - it's easily fixed installing sounds from other modders which you as driver would enjoy the most (since sound preferences in the game are individual). And surely there are just no other mods which would have less problems, especially like I mentioned - these ones here are the easiest to get fixed
