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 have problems with the Zeemod compatibility pack for this truck, as the engines won't load. I have Zeemod's engines downloaded from Steam and when I used the capability pack, the game wouldn't find the engines for the truck, as the game puts up the classic black and white checkerboard squares place holder for a missing piece.

OK. Where do I find the engines at to avoid that issue?

EDIT: I found his website, and I will not push the issue any more as you have to buy the mods it looks like. Nothing against him, but I'm scared of buying stuff like that.

@macksuperlinerfan Why are you scared of buying Zee's Engine Sounds? They're legit some of the best I've seen. Granted I don't have all of them, but the two I do have sound amazing. Just curious why you're afraid.

@Titan, after discovering that one of my email addresses was involved in a breach and having two cards get their information stolen, I want to limit who gets my information.

There is one thing that could be added at some point down the road that would be great for those that run heavy haul, special transport. That would be beacons. Have the banner and flag options already, just no beacons.

The mod could use some more exhausts. It would be nice if you could add some more exhaust options, especially the 45 degree curved exhausts.

You should also try to add some step options for the frame, inbetween the tires and the sleeper.

Hey, first let me say fantastic mod! The issue I'm having is when trying to use it in a convoy it crashes everyone else that is rendering me in. I don't crash driving it but once people see it, they crash. Here is some data from the game.log, would be awesome if this could get fixed!

They would also have to have exactly the same mod.

Correct. They do have the same mod, I don't think they'd even be allowed in the convoy without it. That is, of course, assuming you were responding to me.
