    Not too difficult if you know much details from the tire, and both tire, (front and rear) are the same size, but i needed two test, because the tire pressure is not the same in front and rear, but all the other data are the same. And which is long, it is the automated testing time. But before i went to sleep, just started the test, and when i woke up, the test just finished.
    Yes, it's working, so at rear, there are 2 tires and rims per side, and not just physically, but i don't know, i can loose only one wheel, or i can just loose together at the same time, i didn't try.

    Truck Racing

    Hi Tommy! Looking forward to the truck mode. Great work!
    Is it possible to simulate the water vapor arround the wheels during the braking ?
    How fast can the trucks drive ?

    cheers alex

    No, we can't simulate this.
    How fast, it's difficult, because these truck limited to 160km/h.
    But without the limiter about 260km/h the top speed.
    The acceleration from 0-160 is about 8-10sec, depend on the start. And the rolling start, from 30-160km/h about 6 second. So I think these trucks are so fast.

    I will make two version, one with limited and one with unlimited top speed, I know it's not real, but much fun.

    Wow Tommy. Models and liveries look top notch.

    If you can get the physics close to Formula Truck, you will have one amazing mod here. Good luck the rest of the way.

    Are you doing the full series of trucks?

    Thanks guys!

    My first plan was only the MAN truck from the European Truck Racing, but who knows, maybe later I will do the other trucks, but still don't know.

    Looking good Tommy, I know it's a truck and all but surely it's not THAT square.

    And here is the link for the MAN Race Truck v0.9:
    Download

    Donation If you are satisfied with my work, I would welcome your support.

    Some info for the mod, which is still 0.9, because, still missing the driver with animation.

    There are two version in the mod, one with limited top speed (160km/h) like in the real ETRC, and one with unlimeted, so you can run faster.

    The main spec for the truck:
    Engine: 13L I-6
    1200 bhp @ 1.800 rpm
    5000 Nm @ 1.100-1.800 rpm
    5.500 kg
    Weight distribution: 60:40 (F:R)
    I set the gearbox with 4 speed. In the real series these truck has a 16 speed gearbox, but they use the last four gear only.
    All technical data comes from the real series, from a race driver, who drive a MAN truck. So many thanks for him.

    Enjoy, and have fun!

    this is interesting, will test.

    thanks :)

    EDIT: couldn't test because my wheel (T500RS) goes grazy with this mod right after I hit "race". It starts shaking really hard when I'm in my pit box. Could you check this. Couldn't even move out of the pit box.
