Logger (double, long, short) trailer

#1 Post by LucasVanDerSpin » 17 May 2022 13:21

Dear devs,

I miss a double log semitrailer very much.
I mean a long semitrailer and a short log semitrailer.
See the picture.
I hope that such a trailer will come especially after adding the Montana and Texas DLC.
Such a long and double trailer will come in handy.

- Deloupe B-Train logging trailer.
- 6-Axle Long Logger with “Pup” Trailer.
- Double log semitrailer.
- Long and short logger.
e.g.

Also Western Star 4900 truck.
Often used in the woods.

Yours sincerely
Lucas

Most of those trailers shown are setups nearly exclusive to Canada. However, even the one that is used in America (third down) is currently impossible in game due to the way things are coded.

We got one working in Farming Sim after much effort, but the parts needed to make it work here just aren't possible yet. SCS games cannot support multiple attachers to one trailer from what I can tell (needed for the cargo to bunk connection plus the trailer to truck connection); they cannot support compensator joints (which is needed for the trailer to go around corners); and like farm sim, there is no flex in cargo or trailer so cornering with this thing on a logging road would be pain.

There is a style of logger that could work for Montana, though, and with current SCS scripting. It's called a mule train and is essentially the third pic's short trailer with a straight truck logger. Unfortunately, SCS games don't support rigids with cargo, or it would work better. But it does work somewhat, thanks to Deezle.

Decking trailers is also weird in SCS games, but we can cheat using the console commands if memory serves.

@seriousmods

I understand what you mean.

What I mean is just to add Logger:
- singel 48 and 53 feet (just like Flatbed) Logger
- double Logger
- B-double Logger

Then the gameplay will change.

The change I wrote about will not be needed. This is possible without any major changes to the game code.
Just a longer Logger trailer (40, 48 and 52 feet) and a double and a double B Logger.

Please SCS add them before adding the Montana and Texas DLC.
