Just a small tip: Semis have 22.5 inch rims. If you need any other info, you can contact me; I work on semis.

Semis have 22.5 inch rims

They can also have 24.5 in. rims, you should also know that if you work on highway tractors.

Or even bigger ones depending on the specific type of truck as seen below:
(its a winch truck, these trucks also have a "5'th" wheel which allow them to pull around special trailers, I see them all the time out here)

And we cannot forget about the beautiful tri axles!

How does this look.

Look good! But I think it needs a logo on it.

[jpetersjr]

Re-painter will be welcome to put a logo on it if they want, I see a lot of trucks that's just a solid color.

My father's old International Cab-Over semi was plain white with no logo or anything on it.

My dad works with swift. True there ate trucks without logo on it.

Looks great JP. Don't forget the city,state, and USDOT#

Also working on another rig for the set and then going to start on the trailers once these are in the sim.

Here's a model of a vintage Freightliner cabover semi.

These old Freightliners were hard at shifting and a rough ride. I should know, I rode with my father in one of these over the road years ago. Also they didn't have an air conditioner. We had to roll down the windows in order to get any air into the cab.

Repainters can add that, for me it would be too much trouble since I can't paint worth a flip.
I think they will be fine how they're released, will be better then nothing.

You're in good hands!

Some more progress on the cabover, it's looking great and looks almost exactly like the real thing. I think it's going to look great in the sim.

Good to know. I work on intercity and highway. I was just working on an Arnold Brother's Kenworth, and that had 22.5" rims on it as well. I've only been working there for 2 weeks, so I've only seen a fraction of what's in and around Winnipeg.

By the way, the first tractor for the pack is finished. The first version of the cabover is finished and in game.

As well, the windows and headlights also come on at night as if someone had the cab lights on as well. The way I did this is by figuring out how to create a neon and get it to work in the sim. I have to say that it works great.
