Forerunner Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just posting a link to a quick mod for ATS that works the same way as the ETS2 hybrid trucks, so works online. the mod simply allows a Daycab to have the long chassis. This mod is for all available trucks. sorry I did not make that clear. My truck is in yellow: Extended Daycabs: http://www.mediafire.com/download/bj8gcef96p8qer5/Extended_Daycabs_by_F569.scs Minimised Sleepers (by Request): http://www.mediafire.com/download/74swsz1027eu3n5/Minimised_Sleepers_By_F569.scs Minimised sleepers have issues that you can hit your own trailer for you corner too tight, so don't use small Oxnard roads.

.StεvƐ. Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 are you sure it works in MP because if its not done right it can cause other peoples games to crash around you and for you to be banned, besides I thought the W900 has an extended chassis for the daycab (seen it out there on the road just now).

MaffewE Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I do believe the W900 has and I presume that 'mod' is ok so long as it hasn't crashed anyone's game as Hybrids seem to be allowed apart from if they cause bugs and crashes but seems okay Kind regards, Matthew § Need help? ~ Report bad driving ~ Forum & In-Game Rules ~ Feedback ~ Guides ~ Appeal a ban! § Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.StεvƐ. Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I thought the W900 did, I just wasn't sure, I mean I have my W 900 (called Old Faithful) set up with the largest chassis and the flat top sleeper and it makes the truck feel super long in comparison to the T680 and the 579, I just don't see why people want hybrids in ATS, in ETS2 I understood it because some chassis looked and felt better than others did when paired with different cabs and engines, but in ATS at the moment the T680 and 579 feel identical (and the W900 does feel a loot different in comparison, but is an amazing truck to drive long distance).

Forerunner Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 they do work. I have used it for 3 hours now with no issues. look at screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirBlackspots Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I saw someone yesterday on MP with a long chassis and day cab in Eiko I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie69 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Have you cleared this up with the devs that it is safe to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwhappo Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 i would like the oldschool sleeper for the w900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forerunner Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Have you cleared this up with the devs that it is safe to use? all it is are slightly modified .sii files to allow them to be use together, no extra files are used so they work online. the yellow truck in the screenshot has done trips to most cities in MP now with NO PROBLEMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisVL Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 In theory, as it is using current gamefiles and runs on your client with the mod disabled, it shouldn't crash other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limey21 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So is this ok? if a mod could take a moment to say yes or no it would be great, i would like to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Just analyzed the mod (did not test in-game), it's just savegame editing which is allowed. To use it, download and add to mods. Open singleplayer and use the mod, save game and go to multiplayer. Scar | Retired Legend You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world.

cycooper72 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Personally I don't understand the appeal of the long frame day cab. To me it just seems like wasted space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forerunner Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 ^ I use it because of the log truck style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashedpunkinz Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Just tried it and it works with no problems. I can't decide if I like it or not, but it is growing on me. I haven't driven it much but does this also increase the gallons of fuel it can hold? If so that's a huge plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forerunner Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 sort of, the long chassis' have larger fuel tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it just seems like wasted space. same here, although it does give you the advantage of a bigger fuel tank with the longer frame, but that's the only bonus I see with it, the sleeper looks a lot nicer with the lights and such.

.StεvƐ. Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 ^that's fair enough, im personally not a big fan of daycabs, although in ATS they are a lot more practical because you can see out the back window. ^edit, I think I may try it out and see how it looks compared to my "old Faithful" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle [HKG] Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 i saw a truck yesterday, but that truck was having a Day Cab Chassis with Sleeper cabin, is there any mods that can do this in MP?? I would like to have a go with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forerunner Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 ^ i'll upload them now, however they are weird DL link added for "Minimised Sleepers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashedpunkinz Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Is there a way to add back the shorter exhaust stacks? If I'm not mistaken with the longer chassis the pipes are longer also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
