    Just need to know something about the cities listed below the logo on some Landstar trucks. I've seen some images with another city listed before Jacksonville, FL. This being on trucks lettered for Landstar only, not Inway or Ranger. If someone could just tell me what that city is, I'd appreciate it. I'm not sure I've actually SEEN the trucks with the second city in the wild, but I'm guessing I just didn't notice it. I've always remembered the Jacksonville, FL.

    In case you wonder why, I'm trying to make a few skins for the computer game American Truck Simulator for the Kenworth W900 and would like to make a few fairly realistic variants including Inway and Ranger.

    My son loves that game and keeps telling me we need to record the sound of my truck which has a 6NZ with 6" pipes and make a sound file for the game which I haven't the foggiest idea how.

    Yeah, I can't help you since I don't know how those mods work, but a guy by the name of Kriechbaum has released mods for most popular trucks, both SCS created and user-created mods, that adds new engines with more realistic sounds, typically recorded audio. Many mod trucks, in fact, use Kriechbaum's sounds to start with. He's pretty highly regarded. Tell your son to look him upon the popular mod sites and the SCS Software Forums.

    The image I saw has, what looked like, a city in NC on there. This truck specifically.

    EDIT:

    Here's a preview of one of the skins I'm working on for the game. It's Trailer Transit Inc.
