Hello!
This is 2nd version of my Pete 389 Big Rig - With upgraded (and fixed!) suspension, new trailers, better brakes, more gears and - more power!
It`s big, it`s heavy, it has tonnes of chrome and polished aluminium - Typical "traditional" design Class 8 truck ready for long hauls
OK, back then to reality:
-Yes, it can tow a trailer You choose which one (pressing from 1 to 5 will drop you your trailer)
-It HAS PSEUDOGEARBOX - It doesn`t have any "real" gears, but power output varies depending on speed - It has five gears - at 1st gear it has enough power to tow overloaded trailer over a steep hill (but it will take hours), at fifth gear it goes really fast... If you wait long enough
. It means that truck can lose traction at low speed, but it will barely accelerate when going fast.
-It has REALISTIC suspension! Took me a while to make it, even it`s hidden behind wheels. It is based of "Peterbilt Air Leaf Suspension", although only front wheel has leaf springs carrying some weight, rear axles are on air bags only (those half leafs are only decoratrion). Suspension is unaffected by engine/braking torque (truck will not "dance" when pressed back and forward repetadley). Trailers (4 of them) has unrealistic suspension which accomodate nicely to the terrain and divide trailer weight equally on both wheels, even when braking. Dumpster has same suspension as truck.
-Truck has two powered axles, brakes on all axles including trailer. Trailer has handbrake released when raising a "leg"
-You have FIVE trailers to choose - red one is "empty", blue one is loaded, black one is overloaded. There is also a flatbed with working ramp, and frameless dumpster with hydraulic lift.
CHANGES:
-Adjusted and slightly increased power (much more powerful at low gears)
-Better brakes - you can stop on a slope with heaviest trailer without using handbrake.
-Maximum speed reduced
-One more gear "first low" to help you tow heaviest loads
-New suspensions -...
