does it solve the issue about savegames in Steam? i dont think so it’s not mentioned in the update, just to confirm

Thanks for the update, I really like that some trucks have one towing platform and others have the other one.

Good idea to cancel the movement of the fork on the towing arm of the Force, keep it simple and things will work.

One thing:
The description text and title for the Tatra Phoenix fuel carrier are swapped.

Tatra Force towing addon:

1- Something still needs to be done about the parking brake of the towed truck.
The truck have its wheel locked even when packed, dragging along.
Somehow I managed to unlock it without the towed truck started but can't repeat it anymore ...

2- The rotating articulation need to be implemented as a "free" rotating joint
With a packed truck, it is impossible to steer, because the whole thing behave as a single very long stiff entity.
With the weight added at the back of the Force, the front wheels don't have enough traction to grip to steer.
Maybe the articulation could become "free" only with a packed truck. Otherwise, it would be near impossible to winch a
truck on the addon and having it stay straight.

The Force towing arm could be lowered closer to the ground a bit more.
Same thing with the anchor, there is still room underneath it.

wow, GREAT news!
Thx a lot!)

About the Tatra Force towing addon: Trucks are just too heavy for it to work, lifting tatra frontwheels of the ground and as @DJbarro pointed out - without a working rotating joint you can only drive in a straight line anyway.
When packing only frontwheels, weight of the truck should be reduced to about half at least. Also the arm is bouncing way too much with a truck on it...

Great work !!

Hi Devs staff. Hope you have all great hollidays & to see soon few news about bug fixing than too much content. only 2 new maps / truck is enough for me if there are much bugs corrected. i love so much your game & i know you work hard on it. Thanks again to all. Have nice day. PS : So awesome rich idea to developed repair add-ons like Ramped & Articulated towing.

My game keeps on crashing everytime I try to do anything

It is silly all that packing on rooves, bare chassis and even on top of addons like the fuel tank. Wow, so we can do that with trailers now too. I'm happy to just pack things normally on an appropriate bed or trailer.
