[REL] Western Star 4900 EX - RELEASED!

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.
Posting in the Mods forum (ATS and ETS2) is restricted to sharing free-to-the-public mods and providing support for mods. For more details, please check the Forum Rules.

[REL] Western Star 4900 EX - RELEASED!

This is my interpretation of the long hood Western Star 4900, an absolute icon of a truck that deserves a spot in any garage.

Edit: An entirely new version of this truck is in the works and will launch soon. In the meantime, the original version can be downloaded here. (Likely incompatible with 1.47+)


Comes in a number of configurations and looks with many aftermarket accessories. Everything from tough logger to a low and shiny show truck. And stay tuned for updates as I have big plans for this truck.

The truck only uses SCS engines so I strongly recommend downloading the engine compatibility mods below.

Compatibility Mods
Cabin Accessories Compatibility
SiSL Accessories Compatibility
Kreichbaum Engines Compatibility
Zeemod Engines Compatibility
Boreman LED Marker Lights Pack Compatibility

Code: Select all

- The right side bottom mirror bugs out and becomes black at random depending on your interior FOV. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. (will be fixed)
- Wipers don't work from the exterior view. 
- License plates aren't there (I am launching a mod with high res custom plates very shortly, and saw no point in hooking up the terrible low res SCS ones)
- The log throws a "too many indices in cabin/chassis" error.

I will follow topic. ATS needs free mod trucks, lately modders only release paid trucks (I buy them all, regret it later).

Thank you and good luck!

Can you please make sure the back of the air breathers are red and not amber like they were previously. It was quite annoying to be honest.
You can never make a miserable person who complains about everything happy. They live by "If I can't be happy then no one can be happy."

Can't agree more: the game is getting hard to play with people (convoy mode) now that so many people have gone paid. We need a good selection of free stuff!

Nice work!

When I used this truck form the workshop, it used a lot of fps. I hope you can make the mod less heavy

Working on cabin stuff. I always thought the sharp side window option on some 4900s looked a bit odd when literally every other piece of glass on the truck has rounded edges.
