Hello users of the rigs of rods forum, today I proudly update the FLC. Most of you know what it is, a school bus. many of you might be saying "aw crap, another CE mod." but, this is not the case. This has custom sounds, custom preformance, the ACX mirrors, newly positioned crossing gate, new flares, and new warning lights. credits for original CE go to the following:
So, I'll give you a little background knowledge on this bus.
I always wanted to drive a bus that I, and only I have dreamed of. I figured that I could find something on the site that was cool and wasn't just another CE. so I decided to read up on how to mod Rigs, it was certantly easier than other simulators I've seen in regaurds to modding it. That is how I ended up in this position with this bus. Please note that it is not fully completed so with that said, It still has no interior and only sub-mesh.
This update:
Updated sounds. Hooray! Feaetures the ASP flAilus, Enginefan vervion, and W/O engine fan sounds for the norm.
The newer authors to this bus would include:
Me (tomytom99): sounds, preformance, skins, and moving the crossing gate down.
ROR-EMS: mirrors and mirror placement
Here is the thread for the FLC: [link]http://www.rigsofrods.com/threads/91010-ASP-FLcolumbus-Once-Again-Updated-6-26-12-going-onto-repo[link]
More updates are coming, so be alert! once it is done, the will be a naedox quality video. Note: I will sometimes find a problem that you guys have. Most of the time you will need to find the problem, and I will fix it.
The bus now has about 15 skins, including dealership skins, a blank skin, and a NJDOC skin.
Bugs :O
will crash game in MP and also flatsville, in both sp and mp.

Small update:
suspension tune
Added flextyres ( Thx to Lifter for approve use mesh file)
added 3 more colors with own mirrors material ( get work mirrors in mp if each takes a different color)
the lightning pack, so far there are two trucks that are done, one is the sleeper painted blue and one is the daycab which is option 5 and is painted a lush pink, this will replace your current files so i would back it up if you want the choice of standard or lightning, credits go to hemiboy for the permission and the truck, i modded the skin
Here is my latest Kenworth mod. This is a T600 "Anteater" which was first introduced in 1985 and was Kenworth's first aerodynamic truck and a very radical change from the W900 line. This specific model is powered by a C15 Caterpillar engine with a 13 speed transmission. It features a fully animated interior- guages, shifter, pedals and steering wheel. The truck also has diff locks for hauling heavy loads.
Huge thanks to Box5 for the original W900, Jerald for the sounds, Fidoj for fine tuning and everyone who provided support and motivation along the way.
In the pack is the photoshop file to create custom skins. The ambient occlusion names correspond to the truck names, i.e AO1 = T600_1, AO4 = T600_4, etc. (5 and 1 share AO1). When you save the skin as a .dds be sure you have the right AO layer selected and the others invisible, otherwise it'll be all screwed up.
It´s a package of german fire trucks of a fictional Fire Department from the fictional town Marktheim.
So that are a
-Command Vehicle (VW T3)
-Personal Carrier (VW T3)
-Tanker Truck (MB 1113 LAF)
-second Tanker Truck with water cannon (MB NG 80)
-FIRE ENGINE (MB NG 80)
-Equipment Vehicle (MB NG 80)
-Ladder Truck (MB NG 74)
and a smaller Fire Engine from a village near Marktheim that called "Oberdorf" (MB O'607D)
Hi there, this a 1984 Kenworth SAR designed and built only in Australia. It has a big 'n' burly Cummins inline 6, backed by an Eaton Fuller transmission with 12 forward gears to get the power where it's needed.
If you have the old version make sure to delete it from your packs folder
NOTE: This is an extensively modified version of Box5diesel's W900. I give massive thanks to him for the original truck and for allowing me to modify it.
There are several different trucks in the pack, however, to save space they all share the same mesh so you can only spawn one of each type at a time, otherwise the materials will collide.
I included the photoshop file in the pack as well, so it easier to make custom skins.
If you find any problems feel free to send me a private message.
This pack has four custom Kenworth T600's. They started as a joke but I got carried away. There is probably a lot of bugs and stuff I haven't found but I just wanted to get them finished.
Most of the trucks are completely impractical. The wheel base is too long to have a tight turning circle. They sit so low you'll rip your bumper off the instant you hit a gutter. The lowriders with hydraulics have the worst ride imaginable and are stiff as a rock. The only purpose they really serve is to look cool.
Controls:
'L' to lock on a trailer
'N' for lights
'Ctrl+1' for headlights
'F4/F3' to raise and lower the hood
For trucks 2 and 3:
'F5/F6' for front hydros
'F7/F8' for rear hydros
Feel free to mod these or do your own bug-fixin' however you see fit.
This is another mod of the 2WD 5th-Wheel International 4700 by dneufeld. This time, I made it into a 1989 International S1900. The real truck is owned by the Southeast Raleigh High School marching band. I will be releasing a trailer for it shortly, as well as the other trailer and the 2 John Deere Gators. Sounds are from the band's S1900.
Credits go to dneufeld for the original International 4700 pack
ZIL-135 BM-27 Uragan 9P140 launch vehicle and ZIL-135 bare chassis version
UPDATE 2:
- if you downloaded before 2011. december 21. 19:00 GMT (or anytime before this note appearing) please REDOWNLOAD. Otherwise you either won't have the fifth wheel version at all, or the one with bugged wheels. Sorry for the inconvenience.
UPDATE:
- fifth wheel version included. Keep in mind though, that most semi trailers might not fit it because of it's different position compared to normal semi tractors.
- the tires and rims are separate objects now, hence the rims won't flex anymore.
- custom engine sound. Sampled from actual Zil-135 sounds.
- some more skins.
i guess i can say merry x-mas now...
highlights:
- normal mapping
- detailed exterior, flexbody, damage textures
- 8x8 drive with a unique wheel and steering layout
- good off-road capability, and no irrealistic performance
known problems:
- alternate skin selection does not show up the first time you select it, only second time. Must be a RoR caching issue.
- when alternate skin is selected, material flare bindings (lights) do not work. This is confirmed to be a problem with the *.skin system.
Here is my Mercedes Benz SK B1 1224 THW.
It is based on the 16 TLF from FF_Neustadt where I changed the skin and truck file.
The original truck is from FF_Neustadt [read more]
This is a fire engine from the fire department Hamburg.
The Original was build from 1994/1995 by Mercedes Benz and Ziegler.
I used the tips from the older fire engines to work over the meshes so that there d´ont be any errors...i hope.
You can open the command list with the button "T" an hook on the hose reel with button "O"
The node/beam chassis and the meshes are build by me.
So alot has been updated in this pack, the skin is totally new, the tires are new, the lights are sharper and brighter. A re-bored engine giving 3000 revs more capable of pulling very heavy loads, especially with a new 18 gear transmission. it features abs, tcs, slope brake all custom tuned to fit the trucks.
Box5diesel very kindly has had the trucks to test and they are of his liking. here is a quote. [read more]
This pack is my attempt to capture the Streamline Moderne style popular in the 1930s and 1940s. The vehicles are all fictional, but their performance is realistic. I hope you'll enjoy driving them as much as I have enjoyed making them.
1948 Martin T64S "Custom" Tractor
A very low-slung 6x4 tractor. It has independent front suspension with double wishbones and load sharing rear suspension. The engine is a naturally aspirated 12-cylinder diesel driving through a 7-speed gearbox and locking differentials. Overall length is 29 ft, wheelbase 22 ft from front axle to centre of rear axle group, width 102 in, height 14 ft 9 in to tip of smokestacks. Kerb weight is 20,000 lbs, gross combination weight 80,000 lbs.
Fully loaded, the T64S will reach a top speed of 60 MPH with one of the included trailers. It will accelerate from 0-50 MPH in 1 minute, 0-60 MPH taking approximately 2 minutes.
1948 Martin O40 Tanker
A streamlined tank trailer in fictional "Hexaco" livery. Steel unibody, load sharing suspension. Overall length is 40 ft, wheelbase 28 ft from kingpin to axle group centre, width 102 in, height 10 ft 6 in. Loaded weight is 60,000 lbs.
1948 Martin F45 Flatbed
A simple flatbed trailer with stainless steel load deck and load sharing suspension. The deck is submeshed with the rollon flag and has ties to secure loads. Overall length is 45 ft, wheelbase 36 ft from kingpin to axle group centre, width 102 in, deck height 59 in, overall height 79 in to top of bulkhead. Kerb weight is 12,500 lbs, rated load 47,500 lbs.
1948 Martin V59 "Streamliner" Dry Van
A very large and somewhat impractical dry van. It has a streamlined stainless steel unibody and load sharing suspension. Overall length is 59 ft, wheelbase 47 ft from kingpin to axle group centre, width 102 in, height 14 ft 9 in. Loaded weight is 60,000 lbs.
Notes
These have only been tested in Rigs of Rods version 0.38.67.
The wheels have 40 nodes each, and the meshes were made in Sketchup. Don't expect these to be FPS-friendly.
The trailers are roll coupled via the system used by Lenni and Badboy for trailer steering. The centre of gravity and suspension are tuned accordingly; the trailers may topple easily on trucks that lack these nodes.
To minimise rolling resistance, the wheels are pushing the limits of the beam engine. They tend to oscillate when stationary. Caution is advised when stopping or parking on slopes as they may creep.
The trailers have very low drag. The T64S will not pull most other trailers at high speed.

Yea I think you could post that up, you did some good work on it. I wish all vehicles used slopebrake by default, I love parking on hills and not worrying about it rolling away slowly.
Post it in the mods&skins section of the showroom.
Thank you box5diesel for testing it and glad you like it.
was a problem with previous versions, but now is all fixed
