Description
Where it came from:
Someone anonymous did one for earlier versions of both games but it didnt get
updated after an SCS update.
It was credited to Jazzycat but although it used his truck models it never appeared on his web site,
so I assume his participation was without his knowledge. This one is based on what the original did,
but only uses SCS models, has been kept more or less up to date and has had extra bits added to it.
What it does:
Adds drawbar double and B-Double trailers in ETS2 traffic
What you get:
Drawbar and B-double versions of the SCS box vans, curtainsiders, insulated trailers and reefers;
drawbar double Profiliners using the v1.31 model (so you dont need the Krone DLC).
Now with added cement mixers in traffic and cargo. The mis-spelling of concrete
is deliberate,
to avoid clasing with the (disabled) SCS cargo.
With the Baltic DLC Addon: paint jobs from the DLCs new companies for the SCS
doubles and B-doubles;
so-called HCT trailers (trailer-dolly-trailer combinations like unto the North American turnpike double)
in Finland, South America, North Africa and those bits of the former Soviet Union that arent now in the EU.
The .7z file contains the .scs files for ETS2 and the Baltic DLC Addon. If you dont have the Baltic DLC, ignore the latter.
Paint jobs are the standard-issue SCS ones plus a handful of home-made ones.
Real companies mods should replace the SCS skins with their own, though the Scania
one
from the ProMods TCP fell off the ends of the short trailers last time I looked.
The mod has improved sounds and truck colours, courtesy of the inestimable cipinho of this parish,
who also pointed me in the right direction over the traffic rules which make the whole thing work.
Where we are now:
New Version 4.1 for Ets2 v1.35 Updated for compatibility with ProMods v2.41.
SCS have added double truck and trailer types in v1.35 but appear to have added the former
to the traffic rules and traffic lane def files in a somewhat haphazard way.
Its simpler than it was, but still horrible. The new-fangled trailer_chains appear to work
in the same way as the old attachable_trailer wossname, at least in this mod.
Known issues:
Some trailers can arrive before their wheels do. If you get this, open your
config.cfg file in a text editor and change:
uset g_lod_factor_traffic 1
to
v
The rear HCT trailers in the Baltic DLC Addon have a disembodied number plate
hovering above
them, but its either that or an invisible dolly (see picture above) and I know
which I prefer.
Ive reported both the plate and the invisibility as bugs
The HCT trailers are a Total Rubbish at tight junctions. Making the axles on the rear trailers steerable might
have helped but theyre refusing to negotiate junctions when Im there to watch
chiz.
NOT compatible out of the box with cipinhos Real Traffic Density and Ratio mod.
See the description text files in the mod for the countries/regions in which the
trailers appear,
and how to make them appear everywhere if thats what you want.
Future Developments:
Still hoping that SCS implements multiple trailers properly, but I suspect they, er, wont.
This is a bare-bones mod and you are actively encouraged to take it apart to
see how it works and put your own trucks and trailers in it.
