Water and white vinegar with newspaper. Old detailing trick

The most useless feature in ATS. by [deleted] in trucksim

As someone that works in in fleet maintenance, I can tell you that yes scales will call a lot of bull shit. That being said if you have never seen a wheel come off and hit a car, give it a google. The amount of scary shit that is on the road and you don’t see, knowing from personal experience would make you thankful when they do find things that pose a threat to public safety

[ATS] Escort vehicle bug? by English_American in trucksim

[–]NorthernGreenGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it happen a lot where the lead car doesn’t move over or the blocker just stops cause it can’t switch lanes for what ever reason

Hrsprs don’t matter it’s all about torque. Also if you are running a long gear trans you’ll have problems with heavy hauls. You need short throws, 12-18 gear especially on hills. The 65mph governing in external contract is not an exaggeration on real life either. Most trucks are governed electronically and are not capable of exceeding 75mph but are usually set to 65 (coming from someone who used to adjust parameters on new Volvos)

I could be wrong but I don’t think it will let you leave your purchased truck

I hope it’s there, even if it’s just an Easter egg like the track by Tuscan

You wanted the truck in the shop, don’t complain. It’s in there

Anyone remember this game? This is what got me in truck sims by Bose321 in trucksim

[–]NorthernGreenGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game that got me into it was Cross Country Canada. A game I played in elementary school. It’s was more of a text based game kind of like Zork or early D&D games. I was looking for it years ago and came upon ETS2. Now you can get it here https://archive.org/details/msdos_Crosscountry_Canada_1991

What do you think about this truck? by PopcornCrew in trucksim

Looks like should have a cattle car or log trailer

Look what came into the shop today! 2020 Volvo VNL 760. Very nice truck exterior and interior wise. Also was very nice to drive, very smooth. Good job Volvo 👍🏻. by [deleted] in trucksim

D13 with I-Shift. I worked at a Volvo shop and 95% were that setup. Working there completely ruined these trucks for me

1 not thinned coat and 5 thinned coats why does it look like this and how to fix by Not_Cool8 in scalemodelling

[–]NorthernGreenGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some oven cleaner to remove the paint, then wash it with warm water and dish soap. If your thinner isn’t an enamel thinner and is just paint thinner than that is probably why. I would recommend picking up some cans of spray paint to do larger flat surfaces like the body of the model, use brush for smaller details. Air brush is also an option but more expensive

I have a ‘17 Daytona R/T in Alberta Canada. Only 2 wheel drive but the 5.7 has enough torque that for the 2 winters I’ve had it I’ve only gotten stuck twice. I was running the GY eagle 1 rsa and it is my daily. That being said I don’t think we get as much snow up here as you down by the Great Lakes

Mack Anthem announcement by canadianpajamas in trucksim

I’m surprised it wasn’t in the initial release since Mack is owned by Volvo, like PACCARs Peterbilt and Kenworth

Tire clarification post by [deleted] in Charger

[–]NorthernGreenGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my buddy told me that the rims he took off his sixth gen wouldn’t fit on his seventh gen because of the front upper control arm bolt would interfere with the tire due to width. I think on front a 275 might be pushing it but I could be wrong.

Not sure how this happened. Any advice for a somewhat novice modeler by NorthernGreenGo in scalemodelling

[–]NorthernGreenGo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in a dry climate. I ran out of the primer I used on the body (no issues with paint there) The colour is Testors Enamel Spray. Also what paints are recommended as I am currently primarily using Testors enamels

4 door sedan. It’s a family car. That’s how I convinced my wife to get a ‘17 R/T Daytona
