ECy 8792 Ultra-Class Haul Truck [mods]

Needs two mods (see to the right under 'REQUIRED ITEMS').

God, this thing took ages to build. I wanted to have a moving dumper, which wasn't working one way or the other - either it wouldn't move at all because the bearings could not deliver enough power, or the framerate would tank completely. I also wanted twin wheels on the rear axle (of course) - I had the suspension between the twins at first, which helps a lot against bearing wobble, but it just wouldn't look right ... so now there's wobble, but it looks good ^_^.

This version is fully functional and delivers acceptable framerates for me (usually above 70 fps, unless the jamming bug triggers, as usual ... I so hope they'll fix this soon. Interestingly, when the framerate is lower than that, it goes up again once I enter the driver's seat - (o_O).

The truck features four(!) diesel engines crafted by Skata (at least that's what it says when they're on the lift, the publisher is Diesel Doktorn, though) that are accessible through a large cover up on the driver's platform or from below (there's an invisible driver seat on top of the ladder to help you get up there, but you need to open the hood, anyway. There's also most of the other tech in there, although some of it is purely cosmetic. To get up to the driver's cabin you can extend a staircase.

[5] - blinker / turn signal right
[6] - horn
[7] - dumper



Call to our modders - can anybody produce an ultra-strong bearing that can handle a model like this without the wheels wobbling? You'll earn my eternal gratitude!!
