Where it came from:
Someone anonymous did one for earlier versions of both games but it didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
What it does:
Adds drawbar double and B-Double trailers in ETS2 traffic<\/p>\n
What you get:
\u2013 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 don\u2019t need the Krone DLC).
Now with added cement mixers in traffic and cargo. The mis-spelling of \u201cconcrete\u201d is deliberate,
to avoid clasing with the (disabled) SCS cargo.
\u2013 With the Baltic DLC Addon: paint jobs from the DLC\u2019s new companies for the SCS doubles and B-doubles;
so-called \u201cHCT\u201d 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 aren\u2019t now in the EU.<\/p>\n
The .7z file contains the .scs files for ETS2 and the Baltic DLC Addon. If you don\u2019t have the Baltic DLC, ignore the latter.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Where we are now:
New Version 4.1 for Ets2 v1.35 Updated for compatibility with ProMods v2.41.<\/p>\n
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.
It\u2019s simpler than it was, but still horrible. The new-fangled trailer_chains appear to work
in the same way as the old \u201cattachable_trailer\u201d wossname, at least in this mod.<\/p>\n
Known issues:
\u2013 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 \u201c1\u201d
to
uset g_lod_factor_traffic \u201c5\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 The rear HCT trailers in the Baltic DLC Addon have a disembodied number plate hovering above
them, but it\u2019s either that or an invisible dolly (see picture above) and I know which I prefer.
I\u2019ve reported both the plate and the invisibility as bugs\u2026
\u2013 The HCT trailers are a Total Rubbish at tight junctions. Making the axles on the rear trailers steerable might
have helped but they\u2019re refusing to negotiate junctions when I\u2019m there to watch chiz.
\u2013 NOT compatible out of the box with cipinho\u2019s Real Traffic Density and Ratio mod.<\/p>\n
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 that\u2019s what you want.<\/p>\n
Future Developments:
Still hoping that SCS implements multiple trailers properly, but I suspect they, er, won\u2019t.<\/p>\n
This is a \u201cbare-bones\u201d mod and you are actively encouraged to take it apart to
see how it works and put your own trucks and trailers in it.<\/p>\n
