Long Vehicles

Long vehicles for TTD

Long Vehicles

TTD road vehicles are usually not a useful thing. They have low capacities and speeds, high costs and running costs, especially in sort with trains. They are also very unrealistic, because they don't have trailers or semitrailers. That's why George has started creating new road vehicles.

Unfortunately, TTD doesn't have any mechanism to support other vehicles, than short default ones. That's why it sometimes leads to graphics collisions. For example, at tunnels, rail-crossings and other.

The first version of the Long vehicles uses toyland lorries IDs. This makes a conflict between Long vehicles set and Cargo and Tropic sets. To avoid a conflict, version two of the vehicles set uses IDs of temperate, arctic and tropical lorries.

Long buses supports parameters. Parameter 1 makes Dolphin intercity bus shorter. Parameter 2 makes both the Dolphin intercity bus and Volvo 5000 one section length and replaces Neoplan N138/4 'Jumbocruiser' with Volvo super bus. Parameter 0 makes them as long as designed. Their capacity, cost, running cost, weight, amount of cargo loaded is also reduced.

Currently long vehicles are Scania trucks (models GA 4x2, DB 4x2 CB 6x4), McTrucks, Volvo trucks (model FH16 610), Navistar trucks (International RDF-405), Spitzer trucks, Long buses (Volvo 9700, Volvo 5000, Greyhound Scenicruiser, Mercedes Tourismo O315 RHD, Scania K124 irizar PB, Neoplan N122/3L 'Skyliner', Neoplan N138/4 'Jumbocruiser' and others)
