@jhandkw I'm trying to learn how to properly fix that exact issue. As soon as I get it figured out ill either tell you how to do it or ill repackage the mod with the corrections made and upload it. Either way I'll be in touch.

does it hear somebody talking to the radio?

I have never ever seen a CB radio that even comes close to looking like that. Cobra 29 is the most popular CB for American Truckers..

tres beau et la meilleure marque de radio CB

The radio in the new western star 5700XE is a little bit into the roof.
Can this be fixed?
TW 24 Oct, 2022 @ 3:10pm 
Sure is a awful little mic cord. Ever drop the mic and the cord would break into...

the rx (receiving signal) of an cb radio in a car can be normaly around 20 to 30 km and not like 5km like the scs radio has on FM mode.
tx (tranceiving signal) can be even more then that it depends on propagation high in the air.
most people in car or trucks using an amplifier to give a stronger signal (mobile station) called.
personal i used a ssb radio which have FM/AM/USB/LSB modulations on it.(the president lincoln) with an frequency counter on the display.
i had contact with more then 100 country,s from my home base setup within the years that has been passed.
so anyway this are the most radio,s with specs that are based on the local laws:
output: 5 watt
channel: 40
power supply: 12v dc
range: around 30 km
freq: 27 mhz
anyway i also build and test my own made different type,s antennas for different frequency,s.
@MarkyPea if you have any questions about radio,s you can always contact me and i will try to answer ya as much as possible.
best regards: dready

Could you put this CB radio into the New International 9900i?
Maruseruhh 2 Jun, 2022 @ 3:42am 
Does it work on 1.44?
atavares213 30 Jan, 2022 @ 8:54am 
does this work with 1.43
AlconburyBlues 29 Nov, 2021 @ 10:28pm 
The "88" is simply the channel display not lighting up.

Similar to an old calculator when it's turned off, under some lighting, looks like it says "88888888". When in actuality it's simply the LCD or LED circuitry purposely formed in a specific shape.

When different parts of that circuit are lit up, it forms a shape that humans can recognize as a number. Hence the birth of the electronic calculator.:steambored:

"Long live Casio!" :steamhappy:

But to answer your question human (lol), I have never seen that before. Mine always lights up "19".

I remember those old "calculator jokes" where you would do a specific math problem to solve a riddle. Then turn the calculator upside down, and it would look like a word, which would be the solution to the riddle.
MarkyPea  [author] 29 Nov, 2021 @ 1:13pm 
There is a small bit of vertical bounce, but not very much. The model is really a solid model of the cord with a small piece of elastic on the top, so there's never going to be much scope for it being very accurate. Are you seeing channel 19 or 88? I see 19 when I play, but perhaps I did not construct the Steam workshop item correctly, or it did not upload correctly. Someone said further down they still see 88.
AlconburyBlues 27 Nov, 2021 @ 11:26pm 
Being a fan of big band and jazz, it was only logical.

BTW, I noticed that this only adds horizontal "swing" to the cord. Is it possible to add vertical "bounce" to the cord as well. The 2 together would most certainly be realistic.

I have this cb radio in all of my trucks. But I have been trying to find the cb radio that has the aluminum (metal) face on it.
MichaelD! 1978 27 Jul, 2021 @ 9:39pm 
1.41 playable ?
GT182 16 Jul, 2021 @ 4:59pm 
Yes it worked in 1.40, but it didn't change to channel 19.... still at 88. Does it need to be updated to 1.41?
Marcin OwO 25 May, 2021 @ 9:26am 
Is it working in 1.40?
aericharlan 11 May, 2021 @ 5:39pm 
new to ats - how do I dl this?
Gooseman934 6 May, 2021 @ 2:26pm 
nope, purely for looks
James_84 5 May, 2021 @ 6:09pm 
is this for MP?
MarkyPea  [author] 5 May, 2021 @ 1:39pm 
Oh, I also updated the model for channel 19 instead of the 88 that it was.
MarkyPea  [author] 5 May, 2021 @ 1:36pm 
It used to swing a lot more quickly in the Sisl Mega pack, it looked like it was a spring, so I updated it to what I felt was the best compromise. It's not perfect by any means, but it's better than it was. I only updated the script that sets the physical response of the cord, that's all.
anomaly.va 13 Apr, 2021 @ 2:38pm 
As a former trucker, I have to say, this is a nice looking mod, but the cord swing is not realistic. It is grossly overexaggerated to the point it is obnoxious. The mod states it has been updated for 'better swing', I have to wonder if they didn't have it right the first time. Cord swings way too fast and way too much to look real. Does it serve any purpose, such as multiplayer communications, or is it just for looks?
glenn.1k 5 Apr, 2021 @ 6:08pm 
how do i use it?
fredm3171 17 Mar, 2021 @ 2:04am 
ty for the mod

EL MARIACHI 31 Dec, 2020 @ 10:56am 
Many thanks for updating your mod MarkyPea.Legend Bro!
MarkyPea  [author] 31 Dec, 2020 @ 7:18am 
Added Western Star 49X and Freightliner Cascadia 2019.
Checked Western Star is okay. Will update when I can.
EL MARIACHI 11 Dec, 2020 @ 6:51am 
Please update for Freightliner Cascadia and RD Mack thankyou MarkyPea.
MarkyPea  [author] 29 Nov, 2020 @ 1:55am 
Last time I looked Sisl had not added the CB radio to the Western Star, I don't recall it even having a hanging items point. I'll double check, if it's there I'll update this mod.

@pyrogodz316.

The last part of his description says "This is purely cos" That means cosmetic. You're not going to hear anything from it.:cfacepalm:
