Zitat von Rico S.

Aus irgend einem Grund, stürzt der ME ab, sobald ich bei meinem Bagger mit der Holzschere in den "MODEL" - Reiter wechsle.

This I've also experienced. It crashes with extense/complex models as soon as you select/hover over the meshes. There's nothing wrong with your model meshes, but the exact cause I haven't been able to identify.

A work-around I found is to set the display of ME to the lowest LOD. Then in the model screen you can still see the other lods ;). I guess that if needed you can add an extra LOD with just a cube mesh.

whow, what happened here?? Just had a look at my mods in the filebase and noted this:

The BMW's of the 80's has over 47K downloads. And that with 'just' 3700 views someone must have been button bashing all week .

(yes more likely some script or AI is attempting to pull mods from our forum. I see similar when I look at the most downloaded mods)

After a first look at the asset I added 4 more trucks to fill some empty space, there is still a bit of room for a few more here or there, but I´m now working to starting the asset models. Before that I´m going to bring variation to the interiors as at the moment all trucks just have a standard dark grey interior, that of course can´t stay like that

One of the additions is a 7up curtain side box truck, another is an open truck with Effer crane for Schwarz Bau.

Road tests are still ongoing. It was looking like it would and Yes it did kind-a escalate; there are 122 trucks in the pack already .

Just for fun here an image showing the size difference between the small Iveco EuroCargo and its bigger brother Iveco EuroTech.

The tractor+trailer versions for the Iveco Eurocargo are now also back from the paintshop. Next step will be setting the metadata and then road tests can start.

I saw your mod on Steam and also saw the file size; 758MegaBite seems very extreme for only a mesh with no texture and probably some text files. I haven't downloaded it, but recommend the content/size of the mod is something to address. It seems there are many obsolete files included in your current version, otherwise I can't match how it can be so large.

Hobbying around a little, maybe I'll make an airport catering truck after all. Just testing what is needed to get a lowcab variant

More liveries for the small wrecker, I have 6 in total, maybe if the asset menu leaves space I'll add some more,

A first attempt to get some cargo on the tow fork, it needs some fine-tuning Even when not perfect I think it works ok, at least as a gimmick

The first two small wrecker trucks are painted. I haven't fully decided yet if these will or won't get cargo ...

oh and one with a car loaded on the tow fork, this is only as an 'always loaded' version;

And a few more liveries;

ah, fair enough - would it be possible to get them without ramps tho?

not as is, it would require changes to the model meshes and animations. And as I already have plenty of variation on the car transporters I won't add that.

Zitat von Chill_LP

Have these actually existed with ramps?

It's based on a Rietze scale model, so for model rail-roaders they definitely exist

A next batch of car transporters

PeterLustig I know you're desire for more people, Preiser like, though pls don;t expect them from me. I won't fully exclude the possibility as I agree they can add much value for the "Modelbahngefühl" to the game.

For now the Iveco will keep me busy for a while still. The first batch of the car transporters is painted now, the 2nd batch is already progressing

Yes that is indeed a difficult consideration, the texture files for the persons are fairly large... you can limit it somewhat by using one common (if even not vanilla) normal and metal_gloss texture.

But then still, will 2 variants be sufficient or actually make it more obvious... so probably I would stick to a single person, just say there's a strict policy for company clothing

Zitat von Chill_LP

this somehow calms my soul, as i have been shooled after RID

I did the course as well, for a short time I was haz-mat specialist in a logistics company, but that's like ages ago. I would really need to update my knowledge to be able to do that again.

You'll find the same classification used on my tank trailers for the DAF and Iveco trucks, so for now I'll keep it consistent with them

Chill_LP
Crude in compartment 1 & Fuel in compartment 2:

Oil in compartment 1 & Empty (not cleaned) compartment 2:

And yes correct I categorised the Oil as Diesel fuel

Zitat von Chill_LP

Sounds stupid: but may i suggest different RIC plates depending on Cargo?
Fuel 33/1202

Raw Oil 33/1267

and so on?

That is already in place . The airfield tankers however will show the numbers for kerosine independent of the cargo.
