Hook'IT Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi All Since I am back now, I noticed that Vodka added engine conversion to acceptable mods for MP rules Just a little pole on what engine for which Truck you would look forward to?

Shaddaz Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 How hard would it be to allow us to mix and match any engine with any transmission in any truck? I am not a modder so I dont no how hard that would be but think it would be the best solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a modder so I dont no how hard that would be but think it would be the best solution Would have to be implemented in the default structure since the game engine gives restrictions if the mod not enabled (aka engine overwrites the save file to default structure) Will see later, have not looked at ets2 since 1.16 was released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'd say the DAF engine and transmission. We don't want to be giving the majestic drivers an advantage now, do we eh? Plus if you think about it, it would bring most of the weaker trucks at least up to a reasonable speed which wouldn't be going OTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyTheGamer Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Oh come on, the best Majestic engine is 598 hp with just as much torque as the 600 hp Volvo 2012 engine, and quite a bit more than the Renaults' torque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgpch1983 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 none.. i like to keep it realistic or vanilla.. what ever is first. but i would like realistic 16 speed manual gearboxs for the dafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to keep it as simple as possible for all and keeping in mind to keep it as real world as possible. Putting a Volvo engine in a majestic is "real world"? unless you're taking about engine/transmission combo than yea ok. And that's why I created a new profile for my truck, just in case. When it came to adding something extra all I did was exchange it for a front or side mirror that could be removed lol Signature removed by a wondering ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movvy Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 in real world its also very rare too see a V8 on the road.usualy scanias are 400-500 hp while ingame theyre ALL V8s. anyway i think its obviouse that the scanias sound is superior you can also just change the sound of the engine trough save file editing.soo you can have a volvo engine with scania sound in a renault with a iveco transmision or something crazy like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyprexia Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Actually, I started to use less powerful engine to gain more fun out of driving the trucks. My current DAF euro 6 truck only has a 410HP engine. Especially in the mountains of central Europe it's more challenging. Everybody can drive fast with a 750HP engine, but can you still delivery your load when you're truck barely makes it to the top? Now, I really need all 12 gears.. I also have a 4x2 chassis, so I can carry more fuel and it's more stable at higher speed in sharp corners. Normally using an second powered axle would cause for extra fuel consumption and tire wear in favor of more traction and a lower axle/weight distribution.. I can't wait for the Scandinavian DLC where we can drive double trailers and really need those extra horse powers those 750HP engine give, provided that the maximum cargo weight goes up from 25K to 50K. 510 Horses and one lucky bird at work Simulators: Prepar3d V4, X-Plane 11, DCS 1.5 + 2.x, ETS2, ATS, Farming Simulator 17, Omsi 1 + 2 System: Intel i7-6700K @ 4700Mhz, 32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX, GTX970, HP LP2475w monitor (1920x1200) Devices: Logitech G27, SKRS Shifter, CH Products Throttle Quadrant, Trustmaster Hotas Joystick, TrackIR Storage: 2 x SM961 - 250GB (raid 0), Samsung 850 pro 1TB disk, Samsung 850 EVO 2TB disk.

Hook'IT Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Will try and make a tutorial on editing the save file for engine changes, this will allow you to custom to the custom conversion of the mechanical parts (aka example: Volvo 750 engine + Daf transmission + Scania 730 sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[WieltonSA] NoviFrance Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 It would be nice if there was a choice of three engines : a top Man, Volvo, Scania, but with native gearbox (I Renault Premium will just fly away to transfer to me very good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook'IT Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 How's this going? I have a colleague that claims that he already has the mod. depends how he went about it, can't add files to the DEF list and if you change the dealer details, game crashes when you try to add accessories (or it just my Win7 acting up again). Only way I can see is save file editing BUT this those raise a big concern with abuse modding with the beacons. I am still a bit two minded on a save file tutorial. Most likely. I have all video for my tutorial but I just don't have the time to assemble it right now lol I have video driver issues Tried the free trial of Adobe? Nope have not tried, I use to use Nero 7 Ultimate (yes it old) with great results but for some reason it crashes the whole time (process stop working). Seems to be my newly installed Win7, getting .DLL (FSX:SE) crashes the whole weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wazawai Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 New Nero is terrible lol Maybe Windows is acting up... because engine mods for hp are in shops. But I've only modified and never created. For save file editing I won't be showing how to "add" items. Just replacing. If they don't know how to then little or no harm can be done, for those who don't wish to learn themselves beyond what's shown that is Signature removed by a wondering ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulstray51 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 i found out how to do it myself.all you do is copy the DEF files to a new folder,you then go to what ever truck you want to modify,so example def/vehicle/truck_dealer/volvo/volvo_0,then you just edit the SII file and then when your done,click save and make a new file def/vehicle/truck_dealer/volvo/volvo_0 ,then you right click the def folder,click add to archeive change it to ZIP and store compression method,name it what ever you want example volvo_750.scs and click ok,add to mods folder and BOOM its done SFH DRIVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
