Hi Everyone,
For the last few weeks I have been focused on updates and finalising the AiRoad
project, so unfortunately I haven't had a chance to post for a while, but thankfully I am starting to get on top of things now...
Thanks Bomberman, I'm glad to hear that you like the AiRoad trucks, trailers & interiors. I am 'quietly' rather excited about how it is all looking, and I have reached the point in production and testing that I have been able to set the release date for the
AiRoad Fleet Pack which will be a week from today on the
26th October. I must admit that there have been a few times that I started to think that perhaps I had really bitten off more than I could chew with this project.
The other good news for today is that I have just finished the complete update of the GTR Logistics paintwork for the great new K200 V15.
The new cab variations in the updated K200 are a welcome addition to what is probably one of the most loved trucks here in Australia, and the RTA guys have done an outstanding job in recreating this Aussie legend for our virtual trucking fleets. The previous K200 template was already very good, but the new K200 V15 template is, I think, one of the best templates that I have worked with, and it now makes it possible to incorporate levels of design detail which otherwise wouldn't be possible.
So, I would like to take this opportunity to commend Michael and Oleg for their dedication and hard work, and to express my gratitude for what I think is indeed a very generous free update to what was already a great truck mod!
As I was recreating the GTR paintwork for the brand new "230" Flat Roof & Sleeper from scratch, I decided to take the opportunity to include some new features which take advantage of these new templates. So the new GTR paintwork includes the new L.E.D. Daytime Running Lights feature which I had developed initially for the AiRoad K200, and also includes some new custom chrome "GTR" badges, redesigned more modern carbon-fibre cab panels, front and rear "GTR" mudlaps, printed windscreen stickers plus "Wide Load" and "Caution Oversize" warning plates which I hope you like.
I have also updated the GTR Logistics Interior for the new K200 and the K108. In this update I have created two new dashboard/panel designs to compliment the GTR seat fabric and blanket, and I have made all of these custom interior trim items as standalone accessories so that they no longer overwrite the standard truck interior files. This means that all of these trim options can now be separately selected in the truck interior configuration screen, so that they can be mixed and matched with the standard interior parts to provide more custom combinations to suit your taste.
I have sent the updated GTR Logistics K200 paintwork and GTR K200 & K108 interiors mod out via email tonight to all customers, so it should be waiting for you in your inbox. If you didn't receive the updates, or if you have any problems, please email me via
mailto:support@ozimodz.com and I will help you out.
I've also been working on a range of new colour coordinated dashboards, seat fabrics and bedding materials which will provide over 8000 possible interior trim combinations for both the K200 and the K108, which I will be releasing as a separate mod shortly after the release of the AiRoad Fleet Pack.
I have commenced work on updating the Ruby Cubes paintwork for the new K200, but there is still quite a bit left to do on it, so I will be continuing on that over the coming week as I hope to be able to make this available by 28th October, after which I will be able to focus on updating the other free paintworks for the new K200. With a bit of luck I hope to then be able to have a day or two off, LoL!
I will keep you updated on progress, but in the meantime, have a great weekend!
Cheers
Ian
