Airport Service Vehicle Pack "Functional Hack"

Description
Basic Info

This is a pack of airport service vehicles which derive from busses. This idea came to me after seeing a youtube video of someone's airport in the game.
The idea is that you place actual roads (mostly concrete roads from the network extensions mod), and can setup "bus lines" for the service vehicles. Since the vehicles are not actually picking up passengers, you could have as few as 2 stops. Then use the Improved Public Transport mod to select only the service vehicles that you want to appear on the line.

Contents
All of the models are from my prop assets, so they share the same textures and mesh properties (additional quads were added for the wheels).
All of the vehicle assets have a passenger capacity of 1 (in the event the game has some failure condition for 0), as well as their speeds reduced to 5 (airport service vehicles drive slowly for safety reasons).

  • BCart_Tractor - the baggage cart tow tractor with 4 trailing carts
  • Catering_vehicle
  • FuelTruck_Vehicle
  • Empty_BusDepot - this is a bus depot asset with all of its stats set to zero, so that it can be placed on a closed road network. It does not generate trash, or consume resources. Additionally, the depot has no visible mesh associated with it.

How to use
1) Make sure you have the Improved Public Transport mod
2) Layout service roads for your airports (I recommend the concrete roads from the network extensions mod)
3) Place the empty bus depot (you can place it over another building, for example an asset with a garage door, to make its behavior seem more realistic).
4) Place bus stops where you want your rally points to be. Note that you can have multiple bus lines, and therefore multiple circuits for different vehicle types. The line must complete like a normal bus line.
5) Change the line color to white, otherwise the vehicles will have a line color tint to them.
6) Select the vehicle type you want to spawn in the line manager, and add the vehicle (for as many as you want on the line).
7) Enjoy the result of your airport have a little more life to it.

@urdaydreams: Sorry urdaydreams, I was randomly clicking about and just saw your message today, sorry its years later.
I was able to fix it by first changing them to LHD and then renaming the assets, ie to FuelTruck_VehicleNEW. Once that was done LSM stopped considering the fixed assets as duplicates. Now when I set up a bus line I see both the original broken (for LHD) assets and the fixed ones as buses that I can use.
Hopefully you figured this out in 2021 though.

Looks good except the turn signals light up the whole side of the wagon train.

Greetings! I am getting flashing trailers each time the tractor makes a turn. Looks like the illumination map is messed up somehow and now the whole trailer acts as a turn signal? I have checked the textures, they seem to look fine to me though. Anyone any suggestion?

Here's a link to a screenshot.

@Superhans109 How did you do it tho? i have that issue as well, i've read what @Busted_NL said and I still can't figure out what he means, do i have to change the name of the assets or something?

@Busted_NL thanks mate - that worked!
Superhans109 29 Jul, 2021 @ 9:46am 
@Busted_NL interesting, I'll give that a try. Thanks

@Superhans109 The issue that you are having is probably that you (as I did myself the first time…) did not change the name of the asset when saving (not the same as the file name) and that loading screen mod thus skips the asset as it feels it’s a duplicate

@Tuga_Venatus the issue is that the asset is broken for left hand drive maps. The vehicles spawn as the vanilla bus due to an issue with the hidden mesh for LHD maps.
I tried to fix it like @jasonyu2005 said he managed but was unable to.

@brandon use "improved public transport 2" https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=928128676 to choose which bus, train, metro or other public transport will spawn for a specific line, just like it is said in the mod description.

How to use
1) Make sure you have the Improved Public Transport mod

Love the assets, but super frustrating that they show up as busses - half my bus lines are these now :(
