Just a small note on this. The tanker is called timber truck

Thanks! I just updated and fixed the issue

Seems like there's a small problem with the L485 Flatbed version - one of the LODs makes the trucks appear black. Not a big deal, but thought I'd let you know in case you weren't aware of it. :)

Added new models, bigger tipper and timber from TPF1.

@69er-charger, in near future I hope, I already have improved models under work but I need to finish other models first.(sorry late reply...)

Hello Jones, any news for the Viking semi-trailers?
davidty2006 16 Jan, 2021 @ 3:10am 
Ah yes nice to see some of the old classic mods again. Now whats just missing for me is the Volvo F12

Thanks for the quick reply. These are my favourite trucks so far. Looking forward for more!
Jones  [author] 25 Nov, 2020 @ 10:12am 
That's the end date indeed, I have plans to fill the gaps between my trucks so stay tuned
gamebori 25 Nov, 2020 @ 9:18am 
Does the N86 have an end date, or is there something wrong with my install? They disappeared for me around 1975.

Everything needs it's time ;-) Nice to hear you're working on it
Jones  [author] 8 Sep, 2020 @ 5:57am 
It's in the works yea, I've just been very lazy and slow to do anything lately but I hope to get things rolling faster now :)

Hello Jones, are you planning to convert the semi-trailers and the 3 axles from TPF to TPF2
Jones  [author] 1 Feb, 2020 @ 10:13am 
Asset is now included
Jones  [author] 31 Jan, 2020 @ 11:43am 
Thanks! Assets will follow soon, I need to figure few things first

I love your work bud, I use it in all my games.

You are very talented! Thanks for sharing ;)

Great truck! The game is seriously lacking in Swedish vehicles. Could you make a small two axle trailer for the truck? Or a trailer for all of the early trucks? (Blitz, Studebacker and Saurer)
Jones  [author] 20 Dec, 2019 @ 9:17am 
Yes I am, I'm going to improve the model so it'll take some more time. Hopefully I get lots of progress in the next week, so I can release more trucks, Titan and F12 :)

Thank you for this really nice mod. I did use it in TF1 also, so now I am missing the Volvo F12. Are You going to convert that too? Please!
Miro 20 Dec, 2019 @ 1:37am 
I agree with you, as I've said; you actually want to balance the weight , so you don't half load that way with all the weight at the back but you balance the weight on the whole tray bit by bit. Once again I never let a truck go loaded that way.
But this is a tiny detail.
Seeing the way the tip version loads stone for example I thought it was just a model rendering choice. But if it's the game that actually do it that way, then don't need to waste time on that and better making other assets of that quality. ^^

Please make more vehicles, your mod is toppers
ScientistMan96 19 Dec, 2019 @ 5:17pm 
Having worked on industrial trucks before, You do actually want to center a heavy load on the rear axle, as it's the one intended to be loadbearing, with a stiffer suspension usually, as well as the fact on large trucks, the rear axle is the drive axle. Loading more to the front with an incomplete load will put more weight on the forward axle, making for a rougher ride for the driver. It also causes the entire truck to tip forward slightly, so the drive tires to get less grip, which can be a very bad thing in places with lots of dirt roads or snow, and result in the truck wanting to either spin out, or fishtail if it's a semi trailer.
Miro 19 Dec, 2019 @ 8:15am 
You may be right , tho I rarely see truck loaded that way. And if my guys were doing so I'd ask them to do it the other way around for practical reasons.
But if the game is doing it that way don't need to bother with that.:steammocking:
Jones  [author] 19 Dec, 2019 @ 7:16am 
It's not totally wrong actually, you might want to load on to the rear axle the cargo if you don't haul full cargoload. It makes the driving easier in real life too as far as I know.
Nox 19 Dec, 2019 @ 3:01am 
game models also the same. Backside of the truck gets item first. Thank you for makin better assets than game devs.
Jones  [author] 18 Dec, 2019 @ 11:11pm 
Thanks! :) The loading animation I used is premade for the game, but once I figure how I can create custom, I might change things a bit.
Miro 18 Dec, 2019 @ 6:23pm 
Nice work !

Though I Noticed that the crates are loaded first on the back of the tray, it would be more logical, if it's possible, to make it load the front first. Half full truck will then not look like they don't load their truck safely ^^

Thanks for this truck, looks awsome !

Osta Volvo voimapesä, korjaa sitä koko kesä!
Jones  [author] 16 Dec, 2019 @ 10:34pm 
Looks like asian models had to be made with bigger capacities or they would've be too small.
@Zegrabor, yea there should be, I'd want to make SM300 and maybe some older ones too.
frisson78 16 Dec, 2019 @ 3:31pm 
Trop beau !!
Zegrabor 16 Dec, 2019 @ 2:48pm 
Any SISU trucks in the works?
CHEEKI BREEKI 16 Dec, 2019 @ 1:55pm 
While there are not so many trucks, in the future I did not want a mess in capacity. I concluded that on certain trucks, goods are multiplied by 4, and special ones by 3.5. All Asian models correspond to this.)
Jones  [author] 16 Dec, 2019 @ 11:53am 
Interesting, I'll have to think about this before I make any changes. Raising capacity also makes running costs and price higher, so there's that too.
CHEEKI BREEKI 16 Dec, 2019 @ 11:38am 
Comparing this to GAZ 3307, it has a capacity of 19, and the actual capacity is 4.5 tons. I think it needs to be increased to 26
Jones  [author] 16 Dec, 2019 @ 11:34am 
Yea I might increase it but 32 would be too "OP" I think. When comparing this to MAN for example, it has the capacity of 21.
CHEEKI BREEKI 16 Dec, 2019 @ 10:51am 
capacity 16, this is not enough. In theory, 8 tons is 32.A for special 28.

make a all in one collection!
plexforce 16 Dec, 2019 @ 6:15am 
Bravo!
finnr 16 Dec, 2019 @ 5:32am 
Thx. One of my favorites from TF1, now in TF2 :)

Yay!
