[REL] [1.47] Sisu R & C-series v23.6.17

[Cereal]

Been a while since I've seen Sisu around, nice!

[LoaderSaints]

I'm glad you all like it.
I promised to some that it'll be released before the end of the year and so it was (for us Europeans anyway).

do you have any info on the availability of Voith retarders in EU Eatons? Eaton-Fuller gearboxes with retarders do exist in the world, even if nobody in the New World specs them

I've never heard or read about a fuller transmission having a hydraulic retarder. A jakebrake/exhaust brake is also considered a type of retarder. If someone can provide proof of hydraulic retarders being used on E-series Sisus with Fuller transmission then I may add that into the mod.

I seem to be missing the shadow underneath the truck chassis. Other trucks do show both in daylight and at nighttime a sort of dark shadow underneath the truck.

The shadow is there but not as prominent in the dark apparently. I'll look into fixing it.

May I ask how you get the lazer spot lights on the dragonfly bar on the grill? I can get them on the roof bar but that's it. Also can't add any lights on the back reverse bar. Otherwise loving the truck!!!

@chris1120 You need to add a suitability line for c_grill in the Lazer mod's addon hookup file. There are a couple of parts in my mod which don't have any addons available despite having slots. This is because I am planning on making some lights myself but those are going to be a separate mod. Of course other modders may utilize said slots as well. The c_grill light bar is intended for plowing lights and the r_deflector light bar is mainly intended for rear facing work lights and red rear markers.

Brilliant thank you LoaderSaints! I look forward to the future mods for this truck! Such a rare machine!

this thread even had some examples, even if they have succumbed to bit-rot. Specifically Sisu data is much harder to find.

@oscu0 I wouldn't consider some reddit post a solid proof of something. And even if retarders are or have been available for Fuller manual transmissions I'd still require proof of the Sisu E-series having those. As far as I know, hydraulic retarders are not that old of a concept and the trucks in this mod were available circa 2005 - 2008.

Really nice mod! I have couple of requests through... One of them being fenders without white lines (i REALLY hate these fender lines...), and adding missing lights to some of the parts like light holder under windshield, light rack from back of cab. Maybe, plastic headlights and bumper (dont know if Sisu did make these, never seen Sisu with unpainted plastic parts).

Thank you! <3
