Volvo VNL64T780 2017 (DEVELOPMENT HALTED)

#1 Post by 55sixxx » 30 Jul 2024 00:53

Greetings,

Rework of the 2nd Gen VNL 780. With new cab model, chassis model and etc.

This will be EXCLUSIVE for the 780 cab and I will try my best to continue building upon this mod, bringing more accessories and optionals.

Right now, it's pretty much basic. It has everything you need to drive and that's it... But as further updates are released, more will be added.

If you are familiar with my previous work then you may know that I'm mostly make custom/show truck mods... This AIN'T it. This is a mod of a work truck with work truck type of accessories.

Includes IFTA's for all current ATS states and the next foreseeable ones to spare me the work to update them frequently.

This completely standalone, replaces nothing and modifies nothing from the original game.

Very nice, only thing I noticed was that the hood doesn't shake from the interior view, perhaps the hood node might still be attached to the cabin structure within the interior model.

Both the cab and chassis come from the 2018 model.. Weird that it doesn't, I'll try messing with it further to see if I can get it to work nicely.

I believe the model for the interior is from the 2014 truck, no? The exterior looks to be working fine regarding the cab suspension. It's just the interior model that looks like it needs the hood/hood mirrors separated.

Yes, the interior is from the 2014 model... Right now, the current one is temporary until I get around to rework it completely. I still need to learn how to import and export anim files without breaking them, once that's done it should be fairly simple for me.

At first I was going to use the old cab on top of the new frame but I figured that would've been a lot more work to make all parts fit nicely.

After seeing this video, I'm quite positive that I can somehow use the new 860 interior for the 780 since they're identical except for the dash, door panels and seats. I've been trying to somehow make the old fit in the new one but I'm afraid it's going to take a while ( Oh.. If only the old model had the "millimeter" precision of the new ones).
