- Installing
The mod is available in two versions, with and without sound. Because it uses the sound of a car that comes with the game, I figured it's worth uploading without that so people who are willing to fix sounds themselves, for example using Content Manager, don't have to download as much. The 'current version' will aim to have sound but if it's a small download, expect it not to.

Inside the download file will be a...

Stereo updated Ford F350 Stair Truck with a new update entry:

Audio included

Download this version if you're lazy and just want something that works (uses 2015 Ford Mustang audio files).
Download the previous version if you don't mind copying audio files yourself to save 50MB off the download size. (or if you think some other car sounds more like a 1977 ford big block anyway)

Does it feature hop-ons??

 

[Brownninja97]

can this be used as a ramp?

As said in my short review, its a ton of fun so cheers for making it!

Got to ask though, is the almost zero dive under braking intentional? Just seems odd and takes some getting used to.

Great fun just trying to get a quick lap out of it. The big engine definitely makes it tricky to beat on most tracks, but on something like Highland Short the Transit can just about hold its own

The DWB setup I used matches the actual geometry mostly (the real thing's not actually symmetric, and there's no steering rack so bump steer characteristics would be complicated - link). I think it's reasonable to expect some anti-dive on braking.

 

[garyjpaterson]

That's quite a cool setup, never seen anything like it! Wouldn't even know where to begin with bumpsteer though

Also, looking forward to Mr Darcy's comments on this car, could get interesting

Awesome... just awesome!

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Love it!
It has more power and handles better than any real one ever has on it's best day, but no matter because it is awesome. I can only imagine what it going to happen to it once the Facebook crowd does their thing.

I swapped out the driver model to the driver_no_HANS since it seemed odd that he has on a Hans device. (not that a helmet and firesuit seems normal, but whatever)

Thank you for this awesome oddball mod!

Yeah I overlooked the driver entirely since I play with 'hide driver arms' on all the time, when I post an update I'll make that a more sensible default and move the default camera location closer to his head.

Good fun to drive, raced it in MP @NJMP today. My only real gripe is that the interior cams aren't great. Have to sit really far forward to stop the driver appearing and both dash and regular cockpit cams default position is off, glad your planning a fix for this. Had a blast driving it anyway, we plan to race it again against the MX5 NA or AE86 for some little vs large action
The car is waay slower with the diff at 0%! It seems like power diff setting (and the blurb is for power) but it is labelled as coast?

 

[Stereo]

The diff sets both power and coast at once cause it's either locked or not, but the blurbs are pre-written (so the game can translate them) so it just says one of them.

I thought the dash cam was in an ok spot but I play at like 24 fov so I dunno how it looks for other people.

 

[Andy-R]

I play at 40 fov, i'll take a screenshot in the morning and post here. Makes sense about the diff, thanks for answering

 

[Gevatter]

This is so much fun

Now we just need the rest of the lot and then we can start a proper league:

Stereo updated Ford F350 Stair Truck with a new update entry:

Cameras

- fix driver camera positions
- hide driver head properly
- fix dash camera on base model
- fix driver animation slightly (shifter timing)
- take off HANS
- separate material for inside glass to fix small visual bug
- add dust to windshield

Essentially an entirely optional update if you know how to do the camera changes yourself or didn't notice them (like me).

Is there a skin template available?

Is there a skin template available?

@soverlands sent me some stuff for the flatbed version, I'm going to try to include that in the release first.

Flatbed + uv improvements

@soverlands built this flatbed version so there are now 3 stages available.
Additionally some extra stuff has UV unwrap to allow for the skins he made to work.
