Had to downgrade to 1.9.24 to get this (and similar ones):

To get them I also had to convert the Mercedes New Actros down from 1.23 as well as the 'Glower' bullbar, and then re-do the defs and dealers for them.

To me it was worth the time to see my 2 trucks in-game next to each other (never happened before, photoshopped it a couple of times but not quite right)

Train Simulator DLC pricing is a bit weird. I wanted one route which is usually £24.99, but instead I was able to buy one of the 'First Class Edition' packs for £19.99 that includes the route I wanted plus an extra 2 (although I already have 1 of them).

Since Viking Transport closed down recently, I am wondering what to do in terms of VTCs. I've thought about joining existing VTCs, the ones which have stood out to me so far are KGT, APL or LKW; however I have also thought about re-opening Millennium Haulage or starting a new VTC. What do you guys think is a good idea?

Not 100% certain yet but I may be shutting down my mod site very soon. If I do I'll try to find an alternative way to get my mods (open to suggestions). I am barely mudding nowadays (most mods I make are individual trucks that mostly look awful, hence never being posted.) as I am not enjoying it nearly as much.

Had some free time and the Unity 3D game engine:

Anyone who has downloaded this mod tool before now:

Please re-download and re-extract the converters, this should fix the issues a few people have been having.

Another example of what can be done with my upcoming mod:

Preview no.2 of my upcoming mod, this time just 2 examples of what can be done:

of course, its not just exterior stuff; engine and transmission can also be customised more than un-modded (no more than 750hp though).

Preview no.1 of my upcoming mod, this one is a small thing but is nice to be able to do:

See my previous status for a video made in a slightly older version of the mod.

Small showcase of the customisation options that save editing can create:

None of the parts shown are from external mods. Although the video uses the bars as examples, anything else like sun visors and sideskirts also have many options.

Once I finish updating 'Additional Customisation' and the 'Hybrid Truck Pack' (both mp mods) i'll have run out of things to mod within MP limits in terms of normal mod releases.

Who likes the idea of a discord server where I just upload (or giveaway to a random member), any trucks I just make in spare time; or maybe use it to do requests for truck mods when I have time.

Happy New Year!

ETS2 Version 1.0.5 - Installed from a CD.

Graphics look different:

No official licensing for most trucks:

Separate paint and upgrade shops:

Many paints have changed style and 1 has changed name and style:

Only 3 chassis per truck, except Renault which were ONLY 4x2! Renault Magnum sideskirts were fixed and irremovable. and no transmission options?

and (not shown) wheels were 1 part, tires and all.

More train stuff:

All train locomotives (and the tram front parts) are in the Volvo dealer now, with the "trailers" all being available for all base game cargo. Unlike the previous 2 status updates, these ones are standalone and are not built off the skoda. And are obviously not MP compatible.

Completely ridiculous but funny to try and complete a job with.

Euro Tram Simulator?:

Same as the TGV mod.

Still messing around with the TGV in ETS2:

modified the TGV Locomotive's chassis to contain values for players and put it on a skoda. Changed a few more things to make it easier to drive as well. Still has the turning circle of the Titanic, and car brakes.

I took the "Roadtrain" window plate too seriously:

Ok, this time they are actually attached  (reference to august when I first posted about these trailers):

Proof that they actually move (sorry, I had the 'Sand Ruins' song from Sonic Riders on while doing this ):

This is on SINGLEPLAYER! These are not what you think. AI can handle up to 4/5 trailers (Since Vive La France I think, and I think 5 as that was Extreme Truckers' maximum) for the tram, TGV etc. These are AI rigs, and cannot be player used. _yet

Ready for the 18th:

This happened while trying to find a place to take my 1st entry for pic of the month:

[MP Mod] Hmm... Might give this truck away soon:

Note: this truck does NOT contain extra parts. The 'double bullbar' is done by having the second bar (lower) replace the bumper bar, therefore no extra bars, both of these are some of the smaller bullbar options.

By 'give this truck away soon' I actually mean now, so reply to this status if you want it (i'll pick a number at random, well Python 3.5 will, from the number of replies. if you reply twice I will only count the first one). It will come with a black reefer trailer.

Finally decided to use a Peterbilt 389:

But its me so of course its modded

This looks different than expected:

Good luck to all new Game Administrators.
