Going to be busy most of this weekend but hopefully I'll be able to stream tomorrow evening.

For now though, here are some screenshots of the updated 'UK Showmans Roadtrain':

And some views of the 'parts':

The back trailer needs the most work out of the whole combination, as the curtain hooks are in the wrong place (as seen in the image) and it is about 0.5m too long for the combination to be allowed on the UK roads (this trailer specifically needs to be shortened). I really wish that this could someday be in MP but this is a mod that is not save editing so it wont happen.

!This is a work-in-progress mod and will not be distributed at this time, asking for it will be ignored!

Some more pics of the EU B-Double (WIP):

Once the ETS2 update is released I plan to release these ASAP. These will not work without the update so there is no point in me releasing or distributing them yet. If you are wondering how I have them working; this is ATS with the map, trucks, trailers etc from ETS2.

I have fixed most issues I was having with it (mainly to do with the weight) however there is still one issue I need to solve:

!This is a work-in-progress mod and will not be distributed at this time, asking for them will be ignored!

Hopefully I'll be able to get my mod site running in the next few weeks, but I'm also thinking of setting up a blog (already in the making) and possibly a Twitter account to post progress and updates to. The new website will not only feature MP mods, but will feature some of the SP mods I make and any mod tools that I release.

Would people like to see video or written guides on save editing and ETS2/ATS modding in general? I'm happy to do either or even a live stream of just making a mod (depending of whether twitch allows it, since it is game related)

Any opinions greatly appreciated.

Going live on Twitch shortly with this:

Oh, and traffic is set to 7x the default.

Decided to make a trailer based on the "Denby Eco-Link":

Basically the "Denby Eco-Link" was an attempt at a UK legal LHV using steering on the first trailer to ensure the turning circle was complied with; however it was not allowed for many legal reasons (I was a nerd enough to read the Road Traffic Act to find them ).

At this point in time, this is NOT going to be released or sent to anyone. Once it is finished and working properly, and SCS have released the updated, I plan to release this. For those who are curious the screenshots are in ATS with ETS2's content. Too bad this'll never be in MP.

More "ETS2" double trailers:

and a test of mixing the 2 Heavy Cargo DLCs (since I saw a truck in the UK with this sort of combination):

ETS2 double trailer, not using a special MP build:

Just went for my first ATSmp drive in a long time (not counting the staff races as a drive). went quite well, had 1 player being a bit troublesome but not malicious or harmful enough to warrant a report in my opinion.

and a screenshot of the truck because why not.

For those curious as to how the new trailers look for people without the DLC:

However to people without the DLC they wont have cargo. And yes, I did make them.

Trying out different combinations for when MP supports the DLC. Sticking to 1 full-length trailer at a time.

well I got this round into this quarry so i'd say its manoeuvrable enough.

Took about 1 minute 30 seconds to reverse this into here:

not perfect but gets it off the road. this is the Voltison garage in Santa Maria if your curious.

I'll mostly play ATS in singleplayer as its too quiet in MP even with this new DLC it'll only be busy for a week or 2. So I have sorted my singleplayer truck out:

Close up view of the Trailer:

The 'A Trailer' (as its known in B Doubles) is made from a shortened Fuel trailer with the chassis frame lowered at the back slightly.

View of the 2nd trailer with how the joint looks:

I could add more trailers (and may for some pics), but this is mainly what i'll drive in singleplayer as I can never take this into MP. Once ETS2 supports these I may take them 'across the pond' so to speak and drive them around ProMods.

Doing some reversing practice for the next ETS2 update:

And ATS roadtrain now working!

That is a total of 6 trailers.
