Needlenose Kenworth with Lowboy Trailer

A 1940s era Kenworth series 500 with a trailer already attached. This is a very capable truck, it can do speeds of up to 70 mph unloaded on road, and can haul as much as 200 tons. The steering is very stable and the rear walking beam suspension ensures that the steering axle always has weight on it, which allows the steering to be effective even when heavily loaded.

To drive the truck, you first enter by targeting the sitting plate through the door, as illustrated in the screenshots. Then you take control by activating the top half of the steering wheel which give you control of the steering, engine, brakes, horn, and headlights. The brakes are active by default and must be toggled off before driving, or else it won't behave correctly.

The steering can be adjusted to personal preference by changing the settings on the steering piston; there is a mode that makes the steering auto-center if desired, or even be controlled with a joystick. The steering speed can also be changed. It is currently set up to hold its position and be steered via keyboard.

Controls to set up are as follows:
Steering: Channel 2 - Extend/Retract Piston
Brakes: Channel 1 - Toggle Braking Catchblock
Engines: Channel 1 - Increase/decrease throttle, change engine direction
Headlights: Headlight - Channel 1
Horn: Whistle Start/Stop - Channel 1
