This is a Thomas Saf-T-Liner HDX and my first vehicle I have done all of the work getting it in game.
This is (as far as I know) RoR's first flexbody school bus!
The project is ongoing, so expect issues followed by fixes that cause other issues.
(Official Release 1.0)
Changelog ~I fixed the steering grip issue. Rest assured, now when you steer, the bus will obey. :P (Thanks Brickman!)
~Fixed the submesh section (forgot to add 'cab'). You can now destroy other cars with the bus.
~The bus no longer quivers (was causing the prop placement to be messed up)
Known Issues
~The front wheels aren't balanced (noticeable at high speeds).
Backstory:
Ever since I joined RoR I've loved modding buses, and am one of the few 'bus people' who is sick of seeing a *BRAND NEW* CE300 mod every week... In order to make up for it I decided to make my own bus that was different, original, and somewhat high quality for my experience level. So I decided to make an HDX, because type D's are rare in RoR and it is very easy to model.
Don't bust my chops about it, its my first vehicle I've ever made.
Special Features:
-Animated props (including openable e-door and driver window)
-Flexbody (non-FPS versions)
-Working mirrors
-Changeable textures all over the bus (main body color, roof color, rim color, seat color [comes with pre-packaged seat textures], window color/tint, crossing guard front color, and bus #.
-TC, ABS [off by default], Slopebrake
Planned features:
-Working fans and other random animated props (after 39.7 is released)
-Under-body (currently there are no axles or anything)
-Fix the spikes on the bottom of the mirror
-Other small adjustments
-Convert all textures to DDS (my DDS plugin for photoshop doesn't work so it is easier to save as png for quicker editing)

This is a fine-tuned version of ArthurHucksake's chevy p30(or mighty mite). with starling island bus skin.
i'm not the author of the meshes and skin. i just fine tuned the .truck file.
this bus comes with a left side slide door and meshwheel, and 16seats
this is a fusion of the starling island P30 midibus, and the mighty mite.
All that I've done is try to make the bus as realistic as possible.
Credit for original bus goes to ArthurHucksake and Cydvx.
FEATURES
- realistic weight(about 3.4ton)
- realistic centre of gravity
- real front anti-roll bar,and fine tuned suspension
(all above make the bus handles much better,together with a much more comfortable ride)
-torque curve
-minor engine tuning
thanks for the authors for making the bus and skin
please send me a massage if you found any flaws, bugs. or if you have any suggestions for update. Thanks
ENJOY!
update 04 27 2012
- lightened meshwheel
- idle speed and torquecurve fix
- weight distribution and suspension setting fix
- engine tuned down for more realistic performance(this does not affect the top speed)
This version could handle and perform quite differently from the previous version, so please give me your feedback if you have any suggestions. thanks!
Here is the first US rolling stock, so you can finally tow some waggons with my ALP.
A loadable 40ft boxcar, comes in several liveries.
You can open the doors by grabbing the levers at the doors, the couplers can be locked/unlocked (both sides like on my ALP!) with the bigger lever at one end, on the other end there is a lever for the handbrake. Grab those with the mouse, you do not need to enter the waggons
Known bugs:
If you enter a boxcar through the vehicle selection menu game will crash if you try to exit the boxcar, simply change into another enterable vehicle via the menu and exit there.
Thanks to:
donoteat, maddrix for skins
sputnik_1 for helping me with adjusting the node/beam.

Hello, I'm happy to introduce my first ever official mod to a trailer, It is a monster energy skin for the FEDEX 53ft Great Dane dryvan, Just throw it in packs, Because of the (1) at the end it will not overwrite, So enjoy, I hope it is a cool mod to you guys, It took about 3 hours to get it right... haha.
This is it after a few months: the Seridon Si14 from Seridon Motorhomes
This is my first creation from scratch, and it's a bit oversized. The next versions will be better scaled
In the next update it is colorable

Me: n/b and mesh

I don't remember all the people who helped me, so report it to me if I forgot someone!
Modifications-
1.> All four suspensions works like a charm... Flexing Good.
2.> 4x4 drive with traction control and lockable differentials.
3.> Weight of vehicle is revised.. CG lowered.
4.> Stable Wheels.
you are free to use it for mods or develop on this.
Just remember to give me credit.
Here it finally is! The Bombardier ALP-45DP dual powered locomotive.
It comes in two different liveries, AMT (Canada) and NJT (USA).
Both a version of the locomotive in diesel and in electric mode is available, only difference are the sounds and the removed exhausts on electric version.
Please carefully read the instructions BEFORE posting useless questions:
Spawning:
Use the train spawner placed on the map (small building where it says "Trains") or place it on a straight track piece via the .terrn file, DO NOT spawn in the truck spawner this will not work.
Controls:
The ALP uses default truck controls. Always stay in automatic-transmission, it will not shift in the second gear!
F5/F6: to rais or lower the pantograph.
CTRL + 1: change directional lighting
CTRL + 2: front ditch lights
CTRL + 3: front lights
CTRL + 4: rear ditch lights
CTRL + 5: rear lights
CTRL + 6: wipers
(Un)Coupling:
The knouckle couplers couples other trains (using the same coupler, of course...) like other ALP's automatically. When coupled, both carriages are connected to each other ingame. If you want to uncouple two carriages, you need to unlock couplers on BOTH carriages in between you want to uncouple. The ALP has a small lever next to the rear knuckle coupler (with a lock/unlock-sign next to it) that can be grabbed by mouse. Pull to "unlock" position on both carriages and done. Not that complicated.
Thanks to:
sputnik_1 - Without him this would not have been possible. He made trains actually work in Rigs of Rods (as you will see after reading this and testing the locomotive), outgoing from donoteats basic layout design. Furthermore he helped a lot with tweaking the ALP, to make it drive as good as it does. Many many thanks mate!
donoteat - He once had the idea to bring trains to RoR and made the great layout we are now using.
And thanks to the inveted members who tested this!
Update:
Added ropables so it can now be lifted with a crane.
Errors:
Game might crash when you want to couple two ALP's, to avoid this disable high quality refelctive effeckts!

Brand and type: Mercedes Benz Atego Sleepwagen ANWB
Ingame name: MB Atego ANWB
Tested in: 0.38.57
This is an Standalone file!
I got permission from Lenni to release this back in April 2011, so I thought this would make a nice addition to the repo.
The ANWB is a dutch company that does most of the towing work in Holland. They basicly control the Roadside assistance branch.
The word ANWB stands for Algemene Nederlandse Wieler Bond.
I have worked very hard over the last few months on this backhoe and were still just getting started.
This is only a beta, So dont exspect the best, And its not done yet so dont rate 1 star saying its not done, i know....
You need to delet the old one for this one to work!
