The improved is much better, nice work!

I miss the contrast of the wheels, but it's my opinion, I draw in a different style.
And on the straight up view why the left rear light is black? And shouldn't the back windows of the cab be hidden by the tank?

Nice work, good to see some work on this. Like I said before, I cant wait till I can start playing with this (when its in a playable state). Too bad you couldn't add a engine refit to the refit options, because as far as I know, some truck makers offer certain trucks with different engines as an option (like a 250HP, 300HP, 400HP, etc)

Refittable power is possible, but makes the refit menu complicated (there are also refittable number of trailers).

Hi!

Will you be limiting the road train length to three trailers? I hope you can make them a little longer.

I found this on Wikipedia...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_train (I'm sure you've seen this already, but anyway, hope it helps.)

BANDIT represents on-highway trucks, and will be limited to three trailers.
At some point, I will add Powertrans-style off-highway trains to HEQS, where they are more appropriate.

perhaps a better replacement for the "roadtrain" is the "ecocombi" a.k.a. "eurocombi"

a 25.25m long articulated truck with weight of maximum 50 tonnes instead of the normal 40 tonnes (1 ton = 1000kg). Designed for transport between industrial areas. it saves about 30% fuel because you need lesser trucks and you save costs by using less drivers. there are combinations from A tm G, with F and G almost never being used. i would recommend them for container transport.

P.S. i would like to join the development team, however i do not have any coding skills

We have a couple of hundred link-trailers at my job, and here in Denmark the max weight with a 3 axle tractor in front is 60tons

then I must be talking about my homeland (the Netherlands), where just standard trucks are limited to 50 tons. with exceptions for agricultural vehicles (combines etc.) and vehicles used on building sites
