Is there a working link to the last long bus/truck pack? I think the version I got installed isn't the last version released.

Hi, I have attached my version of the Long Vehicles GRF, i got it about 3 weeks before his site crashed, and burned..(maybe not burned)

Hope it helps :)

Aye that probablay should help A LOT since version I got from TTPatch is dated january of 04 hehe. Thanks. (P.s. If anyone know if thats the last version he released let me know too)

*EDIT* lol anyone got the non x=rated ones? heh I remember at one point a few years ago he had an optional pack without the nude women on a few of them. Nono if he kept that for later releases or not.

Here are the rar files for George's last (I think) releases of 4LV and 4LVCut.
Note that these are the Windows versions.

Hmm. Thanks, Wally. I'll miss George. Has anyone looked at the Russian forums to check about George? I would, but the link was on George's site. :roll:

George's last post? This is now a ripe mystery. Atleast he's still alive and well.

Oleg confirmed that George is talking to Owen to resolve the hosting issue. I also said it may be an idea to get him to post here to alleviate fears he's met some disasterous fate.

He's still around, just not here ATM :(

thats good to hear.

Got a question though, Is it just me or do the secondary company colors not work right? For the green dubble decker bus for example. The bus in the company status menu changes hues properly, and I used those colors to try to "fix" the ones I got, but they still run around green. any insite on this would be helpful.

looking around for more ideas for trucks I found a good site with trucks that seem to be left out of the LV package. I belive Auto Carriers would be a great addation to the set. Heres the web site I found. it has sevral pics of many diffrent kinds (and brands) of trucks.

http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/df_autocarriers.htm

Would be an espically good addation to the ECS I think.

*EDIT* Theres a ton of other truck pics on the main site there too.

Nice pictures!
But what George is really looking for are technical drawings, pictures are not sufficient... and there seem to be none on that website

I would imagine the tech data on those is about the same as their standard models. I'll look and see what I can dig up.`

*EDIT* http://www.peterbiltofutah.com/inventor ... sed_trucks

:twisted:
What all info he need?
Peterbilts, Freightliners, western stars, and kenworths there.

*EDIT 2*
Added this link for later refrence for European autotransporters

Mercedes-Benz

The info he needs is a technical drawing similar to the one you can find here

If you can find one, the chances he will draw the vehicle increase dramatically.

But George's TODO list is so long that I doubt he'd draw any new vehicles at this time (he has lots of buses yet to complete, and this since last year or so)

Well as far as that goes, I think this is as close as Im gona get. The actual manufactuers web page for one of the leading producers of autoracks in the US.

http://www.delavan.net/main/products/trailer_index.php

Choose a trailer, click Test Load at the top then click the pic, and it gives you a larger printable version. :D Took me a while to find a site I liked lol.

IMO id just use the powerhorse. seems to be the one that I see the most around here.

*snickers*

I been tinkering with the idea of making a few GRFs myself. I'm pretty good with editing them. They might not be as "accurate" ad his are, but hopefully they would go good with the set.

I PMed Sappy to see about getting a copy of GRFMaker just got to wait for him to reply. Main thing I have problem with is figuring out cargos. I got the US Train Set, been really wanting to add some of the ECS cargos but its giveing me a frightrful headache trying to figure it all out.
