Ha Ha I will have to take some pictures of my car Col. A real mans car!!
Here is a riiddle for you! What seats 7 in comfort, has 7 airbags five doors a completely flat floor when 5 seats are folded flat. Goes 760 km on a 76 litre tank of diesel, has constant 4WD, runs flat out on sand, mud, rainstorms and dust. Climbs like a billy goat! I kid you not I have had it on hills that make it impossible to open the door much less get out, and it kept climbing.
Wades down the Kiewa river for 2.5 kms so we can go pick up the deer, son just shot, without a snorkel! Has no springs unless you look under the upholstery. Has an engine and gearbox sourced in Europe and powers some of the finest limosines built.
Has two chassis and weighs 3.2 tonnes!! (and I am not fibbing I get 9.0 l per hundred at 110 on the freeway, and average 10.0 on a trip. Even with a 2 tonne van on the rear I average 15 L per hundred.
And when its life is expired, very little of it goes to Japan to build Toyotas!! Ha Ha.

Looks like I better take a picture Ha Ha! The range rover (sport) someone mentioned has most of the attributes, I admit. However it seems to have lost its heavy ladder chassis. I believe because of safety crash test studies. It seems that they cannot tie the body of a SuV to a chassis. When it is crash tested the body breaks free and disintegrates around the occupants offering less protection than a 1962 Ford Falcon.
My vehicle suffers a weighty fix to the problem By building the vehicle as a monococ and then bolting it onto a full ladder chassis. So it behaves in the bush like it should, but if you hit something hard enough to dislodge the body from the chassis the crumble zones can then protect the occupants.
However at 1 ton lighter the Range Rover Sports cruises at 6.9 L per 100 km, and seems to be able to do as well as mine in the bush too. Wish I could afford one of those!! Fixed the caravan today. Ha Ha it certainly holds the truck back when I tour and suffers a lot of problems on the dirt, unlike the truck!!

First screen of NGHF in Surveyor...need help !!!

Coupler attachment points out of line as you can see as well as having trouble getting bogeys attached :'(

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Matt

Nice Matt, seen that before I thinx it is your att point being in the wrong order as in a.coupler0, a.bogey0, a.bogey1, a.coupler1, and they need to be from the front of the asset to the rear if you know what I mean.

 

[lesley]

Also make sure you have called them the right name. a.limfront for the front coupler, a.limback for the back coupler, a.bog0 for the front bogie and a.bog1 for the back bogie. Also make sure you have them in the right position.

What about a good old 1967 4 door Pacer VE had a blue one up to a few years ago with the nice large hemi V8 you know the ones were you could sit at the traffic lights and watch the fuel gauge drop . the only problem was it cost me almost $100 a week to get to work which was only a two block drive. For some reason Mrs bear convinced me to sell it.

Do have a white 1974 Chrysler Valiant VJ Ranger sitting in the carport but its only used for the odd weekend drive, got it form a priest - I kid you not very low miles about 30,000- only driven to church on Sundays

Bearcat, if you're able to get some photos of said 1974 Valiant, I will make it. I'm keen to make some old cars, most of the ones I've been making are modern. If you can supply front, side and rear pics, I will model it in Gmax.

 

[ad602000]

his limfront and limback must be named correctly or it wouldnt show. are you sure you have the bogies loaded in your PC? Nice wagon by the way love the texture very difficult to get a realistic looking hopper texture they seem to get a colour all of their own in proto

 

[colhad]

A Mitsubishi Canter, Landscape Truck. Thanks to Vulcan for supplying textures.

Almost finished, I adjusted the size of the cab as it was a tad big.
