not to mention the drivetrains. Can you use traditional transmissions with an electric engine? Or would you have to use a step-less transmission...
Personally, I'm a lot more scared of public transit busses than cargo trucks. Those ######## drive like psychopaths.
What about camping generators? Considering many models cost under 1k, could they be a worthwhile alternative to APUs?
so instead of lawsuits being spread out between the trucking companies, it'll all be focused on the one (or few) programmers who wrote the AI....
Even as OTR, considering how common drivers disrespect or even try to sabotage trucks, who do you blame when an accident happens and the driver is...
*shuffles through PDF document* That would be...the FRO-C
@OLDSKOOLERnWV that certainly would provide the spread for all-around driving. On the bright side, the game allows me to run brand new equipment...
@uncleal13 Would any truck dip into the shorter axle ratios for local use? Potentially all the way down to 7.17 gears? Also, would any operator...
I'm looking for something realistic. If that means a 350 HP truck, then so be it. I take my simulators seriously ;)
I kind of expected that a commercial game would never match a dedicated simulator, let alone the real thing. The game does, however, have a...
I play a lot of Farming Simulator and I'm trying to set up a range of drivetrain specs (engine/trans/axle ratio/etc) that the player can choose...
personally, I'd like to see how well computers can deal with the ####ty "roads" that deep forest logging trucks need to plow through.
based off of my limited car experience, I had something similar happen. When I gave it hard throttle, the engine would start getting the hiccups....
@x1Heavy To be fair, if you don't need to cross the interstate or even a boulevard, a 4-cylinder bus engine could be considered adequate ;)
Personally, I see it this way. If you need to accelerate your loads faster, you need more HP. In any application, be it commercial or...
In case anyone still wants to know, I actually read the section in Meritor's guide properly and came across this little tidbit.
At the risk of sounding too simple...are the tires properly balanced?
One thing I noticed, as far as current guides go, is that axles rated for 1,850 ft/lb engines are rated at lower GCWRs than the 1,650 ft/lb axles...
Definitely going to keep this in mind =b On the bright side, it means there's a reason to go with weaker engines aside from potential fuel economy.
Basically, I came across a detailed guide on Meritor axle specifications I noticed that they state the rated input torque for each axle ratio,...
