Weekly Post | Tiptoeing Along

Hey there dear patrons,

Welcome to this week's edition of the weekly post! This week, we'll be combining 2 weeks' worth of stuff. Let's dive right into it, shall we?

Gavril T-Series Expansion Pack

Our lead developer has been hard at work on this (and other projects) and now feels ready to shed some light on the Phase-IV interior rework. He has stated that there will be sixteen total model variants, split up into four groups of four. He also stated that they are considering adding the ability to change the color of the interior (including the sleepers) as well.

A particular part of the interior that was interesting to model was the revamped doorpanel. Many areas took multiple attempts to get right. That of course is very normal, but it was interesting, nonetheless.

A cool new feature is the addition of blind spot windows on what will be the passenger side doors. Now ain't that something?

General Purpose Trailer Pack

We have added the triple axle bogie to the dry van trailer now, though in porting over the bogies to the dry van, something came up. On September 20th, we posted a poll in our Discord server regarding making a small not so minor yet large not so major change to the bogies that will be available in the GPTP. We've now converted all of our bogies to be true duallies. In vanilla BeamNG, they bundled the wheels up to be simulated as one large wheel. So even though it looks like the dry-van has 8 wheels, only 4 are simulated. In GPTP, all 8 are simulated.

As evidenced by the above image, the tri-axle bogie as well has true dually wheels. That means it has 12 total simulated wheels.

Earlier this week, our elite members (Platinum and Diamond Members) could vote for a big decision in terms GPTP's development (and they still can, new Platinum and Diamond Members can as well) and we're currently awaiting how that poll turns out.

Heavy-Haul Trailer Pack

We've had great progress with the model here, and it should be ready for your eyes next week!

Final Note

Overall, we're on schedule. Our developer's days are nicely utilized, and in terms of release, we could be looking towards a very busy end of the year.

Yours sincerely,

- the GTG Mods Team
