MAN Trucks Discussion Thread

[Snoyted]

The duty bumper setup is also my favorite. The interior of the truck feels very organic, and the various blind spot warnings only add to the realism. Spotless truck

I really like the new MAN2020. (despite the few things, that are not correct (yet))

But one thing that I don't like that much (and probably many other modders beside me) - is the baked vertexAO. Don't get me wrong - VertexAO itself is totally fine, like you did on the NG Scania for example. But the color-gradiant that you've added to the MAN2020, isn't really that great... it makes it really difficult to built custom parts for it with matching vertexcolor etc.

I don't think that this post will change anything about it, I just wanted to get that out of my system.

However - I'm still very happy to have the MAN2020 ingame now. It's probably my favourite "next-generation" truck.

I've added a screenshot that explains the VertexAO-gradiant.

Thank you for reading,
DS

Not hard, but yes the bake on the truck is unusual.

With external commitments, & also being 1900km away from home garage, it has taken until Sunday morning for me to finally get in my basic(ish) 470 6×2 (have also bought a Topaz 640 4×2).

Very quiet on startup. Good default horn. Very refined. Good engine roar. Pulls responsively. Perfect gearing @ 50 & 80 (altho changes to 11th @ only 76). Brilliant visibility. Very relaxing to drive. Glides almost as well as the 2021 DAF. Only gripe so far is just very small text for things like remaining range etc. Other than the small text I have no problem with digital gauges. Blindspot assist is a welcone addition I need to get used to. Very impressed. May - may - become a new default truck for 3rd-party multiplayer.

Which engine was recorded for the sound? D26 or D38?

I just fully tested this truck and I can say that it has one significant flaw, because of which I am not ready to change my DAF XF NG at the moment.

The main disadvantage is the inability to adjust the camera. Very bad review. For a 16:9 1080p 22" monitor, this truck is a real torture to drive. I like the FOV 65, but I can't find the balance with this truck. Either I can clearly see the dashboard, but I can't see the left rearview mirror and my steering wheel is huge, or I can see enough of the left rearview mirror, but I can't see the dashboard and my steering wheel is still huge Due to the camera shift to the left, I feel like I'm sitting with my head touching the left window of the truck... It's very strange.In the new DAF, still the most perfect view for me.In the old TGX E6, I was comfortable.I hope this will be fixed, but my inner skeptic suggests that the SCS will ignore this problem.I noticed that many players are unhappy with the bad camera setup in this truck.

Small problems I would include this strange gradient on the truck model that everyone is talking about. I couldn't replace any other cons.

I was very surprised by the sounds. SCS hired a new sound engineer who knows how to mix properly? It sounds good.

Where is the analog dashboard? I'm too old to watch cartoons on my tablet.

As a result, due to the inability to set up the camera, unfortunately, my long-awaited truck will be ignored. In fact, the redesigned TGX Euro 6 is still the most long-awaited truck. SCS just needs to get rid of the prehistoric textures and make all the buttons on the steering wheel and dashboard in 3D and I will be happy. But I do not believe that the old MAN will be reworked properly. Most likely we will get another ridiculous remake, as was the case with MP3 and Volvo.

It would be nice if the developers added a tuning pack for man

on such a screen it would be better to use a blind zone camera, the developers had to initially make two versions of the multisystem

this is the cheap option, we dont have the cheap option of the multimedia system

so I’m talking about this, it’s bad that they didn’t make a cheap option

I haven’t listened in game, however game files have two sets of sounds, D26 and D38
