Create my own Steering Wheel?!

#1 Post by ghost00171 » 10 Mar 2023 13:06

Hi everyone,

i´m a Skin Modder for ATS/ETS2 since Years, and i really wanna try something new.
Since SCS released the Steering Creations Pack, i wondered if there´s a Way to bring my own Wheel into the Game.
Not only a Skin for it, but a complete Model to choose in the Shop.

I know i will need to learn Blender for this, but i also need to know/learn how to make it a usable Mod afterwards, how to put a Texture/Skin on it and so on...
Can anyone help me out with some good Tutorials on that? Or are there any Tutorials specifically for Steering Wheels?

Thanks a lot in Advance!

Any accessory creation tutorial should be able to teach you this. Steering wheels are no different than making a bumper or a set of mirrors. It's just an accessory assigned to a locator; what turns your model into a functioning, rotating wheel with is handled by the game and the truck it's in.

Here's a good tutorial by @Digital X that gives you the full rundown:

Okay, so i got far enough to have the Steering Wheel the Way i wanted it to be.
I used the scs Model of another Steering Wheel as a Size Referrence and then kinda took it apart in Blender, to have an Attachment Point below my own Wheel.
BUT....I can´t get it to Work as a Mod.
I tried it with the Blender Option to pack it into a Mod, but it doesn´t work.
I don´t know if a Wheel is different from Things like Horns, Lights, Addons etc. because the Wheel has an Animation when you turn it....
Can anyone help me with that?

Here´s what i´ve done so far:
