Progress post #5
In the next update, as it isn't as time constrained as the others were, I have decided to ignore the vote (sorry guys, I'll do better next time) and add all remaining cabs at the same time. This means that you will get 4 new cabs for both gen 2 and gen 3, for a total of 8 new cabs. These are:
Daycab
Eurotrotter
Topsleeper
Supertrotter
The Daycab, eurotrotter and topsleeper will have their own "new" chassis (same ones as on flatroof daycab) that allows them to be shorter than the others in the 4x2 configuration. It was currently decided to only do the rear air intake for the eurotrotter, as the 3rd generation air intake is not yet built and the side air intake is very much a hassle to implement. I hope this is okay with you guys.
The topsleeper will not have a modeled interior in the large bunk: This is because the player is never in a state where they directly see it, as there exists a cover for the sleeper hole and the side window on it is heavily tinted like IRL. If this gets enough backlash, I will model a full interior for it (although there still won't be a good way to access it other than freecam).
The Supertrotter interior is currently a large empty space, this is because I have never seen the interior of one and don't know how they look. Then again, the cabin is an aftermarket build by Estepe, so one can assume that the interior differs heavily between trucks as it was specced to the owners needs. Here I need your help:
Please suggest what I should add into the supertrotter interior in the comments below (apart from a top bunk, that'll be done).

stunning mod! will mod will be free in future? we want a good F series, XBS in 2023 announced his Volvo F series progress and now he's gone, no idea where is he now...
Yes but when it's finished, which will take a while
What a stunning mod. Please what I miss indeed are cabin accessories slots/sisl compatibility. If you could make that work for the FH1 and this beauty here - that would be it 🫶🏻
Sisl is a hard one to do, but overall cabin accessories will come. This thing currently has some dashboard and windshield slots, but more interior customization will probably get added at a later date (although with this I mean things like different color/material doors, panels, etc)
I'm +1 on adding a period correct TV/VCR just add to the character
Add an 80's crt TV and a vcr
Like on a shelf? honestly not a bad idea
when is it gonna be finninshd?
hard to say an exact date but only the ingaming process left, so late jan-early feb
I'm open to any suggestions (within reason, I'm not adding NSFW things or extremist merch) to what should get added into the supertrotter interior to fill it up a bit
I think about some little ventilation or somethink like that or maybe a radio on top with the cabel, or some "carpets" on the shelf in the truck? What do you think about it?
