The assets are under construction for Schwarz, but I couldn't resist to implement a few more ideas on the trucks , also the idea for a train and ship have come to mind ... will some-one stop me please

and just on my radio (no joke); the Stones with "Paint it black" or was that "Paint it Schwarz"

If I would include the key option for the cars a complete rebuild of the steering feature would be needed, calculating the angle and position for each wheel at any possible selection is yet a bit too much/complex to build in, hence I stick to the setting menu option for it.

PeterLustig Thanks for notifying, I've not seen issues with it in the update but I'll look into it.

Two options to eliminate first; Assume you are using the sliders at the bottom in the Settings menu and not keyboard keys (O or P) (?).

If you see the models tilt/rotate but the colour keeps changing, then you will have a random model selected.

Today I was able to rework my stake trailer variant of the Gaz truck. I got the dolly to be fully operational, when empty it's on the back of the truck, when loaded it is connected by the cargo and a small cable.

Also I've added some more cargo variance, some tipper trucks transport other stuff than bulk cargo, still working on that.

Dunkel thanks :). I'll check the wheel, the tipper trailer is indeed wrong on the wheel covers (and also the studs), I'm looking to improve it.

PeterLustig, I made up the BAUBAU or BAU or UABBAU logo to deal with the mirrored UV's for some (or actually most) in the vanilla game. So I came up with a logo that is the same when mirrored and that I find suiting to the Schwarz company theme.

You might note there are two versions for the TIP trailer, logo only (UG standard and using the logo mesh) or with logo and website, that is one of the additional meshes. It's the same as used in the 40ton set from Nando, who I thank for the approval to use.

Here a test run vid of the Schwarz Bau trucks.

And you can read on the E-truck it is "Schwarz Bau, Hoch + Tief, Virtuell + Fiktiv, Bau AG".

I like the sound of it, it's like Team Rocket in Pokemon Go .

A few things I note that I'll still adjust, wonder which you note.

it is getting to the end of the vehicle creation, though I still have more ideas, it's probably just going to be a bit more custom cargo and then a lot of testing before the last batch is added to the asset.

Here a dump container truck based on the J6P with a new trailer, still all is made from vanilla meshes only (OK, except the license plates then).

dview where can I find the smart car tower asset in your smart mod? Tried looking for it and couldnt find it.

hi mansahi41, you will get it when you have not selected a smart car, so tick all the next buttons.
enjoy!

Looks like it doesn't allow that, just tried for you:

{

boundingInfo = {

bbMax = { 1, 1, 1, },

bbMin = { -1, -1, 0, },

},{

boundingInfo = {

bbMax = { 2, 1, 1, },

bbMin = { 1, -1, 0, },

},

The above crashes the model editor. The below applies only the second box Max and Min;

{

boundingInfo = {

bbMax = { 1, 1, 1, },

bbMin = { -1, -1, 0, },

bbMax = { 2, 1, 1, },

bbMin = { 1, -1, 0, },

},

Zitat von Ralle

Falls es Euch an Anregungen mangelt - was ich nicht glaube - fehlt jetzt eigentlich nur noch ein großes Autohaus mit Verwaltung und Werkstatt ...

Yes, on my to-do list I have the Faller autohaus, actually the real model is sitting here on my table for a while awaiting measuring.

VW T1 yes of course! And also the Renault 4 and a few more vehicles have got a repaint done, there are now 40 different trucks, including a few very creative that I don't think you expect. The Gaz 3307 can I think very well also go as a Magirus, Steyr or Iveco and is very versatile;

The last image here for a tipper trailer version of the 40ton truck (which I btw present as a Pegaso) doesn't entirely fit with the trailer axles and wheel covers, but I think I'll still leave it in.

Ultra cool!! And seeing you post the update twice I now think we may expect two Helicopter series

no LOL, I'm greatly looking forward to the mod and still very curious how you solved this.

Nice, have you replaces the space cab with the flat roof or is it an addition?

Completing on the Schwarz vanilla repaints there are 19 trucks for the pack.

I started for something just as a fall-back gimmick and as not for the first time, it evolved to something larger.

The driving vehicles have some custom cargo here and there, everything still based on vanilla items, I only added one mesh, which is for the license plates, so that it matches my standards,

Time flew by again while I was making a repaint on the vanilla MAN.

In the 70's Schwarz Bau became really big, hence a few more variants of the same vehicle The MAN is operated as 6x2 but also as 6x4 trucks at Schwarz Bau.

They are introducing a new brand 'BAUBAU' to increase market share (and on the side to compensate for the mirrored vanilla textures).

a little more

A bit more Schwarzbau .

I think the Schwarz Bau AG was introduced by Kibri for the H0 modelscale scenery, not sure, it could also have been Roco. Please help me out if you know the facts!

Now you may have noted the last Golf above has an extra 'Anniversary' decal. The idea came to mind, assuming it was indeed Kibri who introduced the Schwarz name, when I noted the Golf I picked was set to be available as of 1995 and while googling for examples I noted 1995 was also the year Kibri celebrated it's 100th anniversary. Hence a small tribute to Kibri. The story of Schwarz Bau is fictive and allows many interpretations, mine here is that the company founded in 1895. Three gentlemen, Herr Schwarz, Herr Kindler and Herr Briel started a Bauunternehmen in Böblingen Württemburg. They hired some workers and purchased a first truck, the DMG Cannstatt. They did well however the 1929 recession hit the company hard. The gentlemen had mutual understanding the company was not able to support all needs for three families and for a small price Kindler and Briel sold their stake in the company to the Schwarz family. After the 2nd WW the 3rd generation of the family took controll and the company started to take off to became a major player in the market, only then the name was changed to Schwarz Bau AG. Now-a-days the 4th generation of Schwarz is coming into the company, two brothers have the ambition to become not only the major player in the modeltrack world, but now also want to be the same in the digital version. Hence they have reached out to me and other modders for vehicles and equipment in their livery .

For those who look closely (sorry you can't see it on the above images yet), there is a small legacy Kibri logo on the anniversary Golf.

The DMG the company started with has been saved from a scrapyard in Italy and is now back in their hands. It's been restored visually, but unfortunately it doesn't run. The youngest brother is on the look for another truck that can be restored to new, driving, state. Whenever he can he's travelling the world to find one and to create a great memory for his great-grandfather. ... who know's what he'll find more on those adventures.

(PS In real life two gentlemen started the Kindler & Briel GmbH Fabrik Feiner Spielwaren in Böblingen in 1895.)

The cars for Schwarz Bau have been to the paint shop, a few last details and then they can make their test drives.

For the assets I'm undecided yet if these will be the start of a 90's brand pack or just a small Schwarz bau pack ...

Hi All,

just updated the VW T3 to adopt the colour correction for the German taxis.

For consistency on the sorting order also the other T3 sets have a minor update available now.

Greetings.
