Container Chassis

[NDORFN]

danpmeyer were you sent by the God of steam to solve all my problems by any chance?

I have uploaded the Chassis Pack ver 1 to Mediafire. Here is the link for the .zip file. If there is some positive feedback about the chassis then I'll upload it here at RWA.

Looking good! I will need these for my route! Great job! Can you maybe paint one orange?

These deserve to be in the file library!!!

These look gorgeous Dan, thank you so much, I only have one observation and I don't know if you're into trucking, but, when you attach a semi to the trailer you can still see the 5th wheel through the trailer chassis, which looks odd, a small plate/piece of steel in the same colour hiding that intrusion would be absolutely ideal, apart from that these are perfect, any chance of a 20ft chassis trailer please, that would be the icing on the cake.

Downloading now. Thank you sir

Thanks everyone for the comments and I'm glad you like my stuff. Exrailwayman, the 5th wheel plate is coming on the next batch of releases, I just resized the bottom plate of one of the crossmembers. And I'm starting on a 20' version soon. These are really meant as low poly, like around 1000 polys, and so you can put a lot of these around without too much of a frame rate hit, so I didn't put a whole lot of detail into them. I hope to make a vertical storage rack and maybe a container version where you would stack 4-5 chassis and then load them on another chassis for pool rebalancing.

Also, just read the threads about repainting and the new .TgPcDx compression. What a pain in the ... so I'll be converting all of the .TgPcDx to the older, editable EXPL alpha style so everyone can take a shot at changing the colors. Any thing made new with TS2013 gets put into the newer, uneditable compression style.

Does anybody know if there is an Ottowa-style yard tractor around? If not, should that be the next thing in this pack?

I understand completely Sir, I'll say no more and let you carry on with your little project.

And I don't know of any Ottowa-style yard tractors in the game, we nicknamed them 'tugs' over here in Britain many decades ago, if you could do something that would be absolutely terrific, thanks very much.

And just a quick screenshot to demonstrate what your chassis look like on a British route.

The corrugated sides can be simulated by using a normal map, so no need to physically model the panels.

Ooh! I can to the container repaints! I can't guarantee fantastic results, but I would like to try!
