Don't ask me, ask Fiat ;)

Ikarus 280 had the engine in the middle, but was articulted. You answer do not count

I'll hopefully come back with a drawing of the single version too, shortly. What would you say?
I'd prepher this one
Ok. That one was the 410 trailer with Viberti bodywork. The chassis was the same as in the drawing I sent you, so that drawing would do the work, I'll try to find some more pics. Might be really hard though. You have difficult tastes, getting pics and drawings for tyhe 418 was a lot easier :) (j/k!)

Well, I got a masters' in economics, not in engineering :P Anyway, if they switched from articulated to trailers and then back to articulated there must have been some reason. Lancia did the same too, developing a trailer right in those years (here's a pic).

Ikarus 620

Post by George »

Well, I've finished Ikarus 620. I'd like to see your comments before I do its' modifications.

I also post the comparation between my variant and variant of Greyfur. What should I do? Keep both? Separate them somehow?

fiat 410

Post by Snail »

Hi George,
I just found some additional info about the 410 trailer.

What I found is a couple of pics, showing the front-right and the front-left sides of the bus, and another drawing which includes front and rear, too.
The picture refers to the suburban version (2-doors) and the drawing to the urban version (4-doors). You'll find another pic of the bus in another livery here.

All this stuff relates to one of the two models which existed, with bodywork produced by a firm called OMS. The one "dressed" by Viberti (this one) was built on the same chassis; here is another pic, with a different front. The only differences between OMS and Viberti are those you see in the pic.

Production of the trailer version of the 410 went historically from 1966 to 1973.

I will hopefully come back with a drawing of the two-axle 410 asap. In the meantime I might find some info about a truck, built by Lancia in the early 1950's. Here are a couple of pics...

I'll come back to you with some drawings and info as soon as I can.

Cheers
Snail

I need Hungarian to English translation about Ikarus 620. Previously it was here http://autobusz.budapest.hu/elsaut_ik620_at.htm, but I do not know where is it now. But I can send the page I saved before. Well, indeed I do not need a translation, but the information about the alternative variants of ik620. I mean characteristics and names.

George, any possibility of a version of the short NA Bus set being released so it doesn't require the AI manager? The "All or none" scheme of the current LV's is a PITA to say the least if one doesn't want to use all of them. I'll host the "Non-LV" version on my website if you like.

Well, if you'll look carefully, none of the LV files require AIManager strongly. The AIManager requirement is a warning only. Any LV file reports it, but runs well even without it. It was intended. AIManager itself is the only file that requires other files strongly and deactivates itself if something missing

What is PITA?

Everyone can
DanMacK wrote:I'll host the "Non-LV" version on my website if you like.
I do not want LongbusesNA and LongBusesNAtruncated have different code. It is possible to have the following solutions
  1. 1) you can write a readme file
    2) I can code it that way, that if LongBusesNA is the only file from LV set, which is loaded, it would generate no warning (It will generate warnings if there is at least one more LV file is loaded)
Also, maybe you could do truncated version for all the LV set?
