About This File

This pack adds 43 classic VW type 2 transporters to your city traffic. The models used for these all use Rivit's VW Kombi as a base, modifications were made by me for the campers, and the pickups.

Contents: There are 6 colors of each of the first and second generation microbus, these are all two-tone (with the cream white top), and come in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and black. The first generation busses come in two types, standard (with 15 windows), and deluxe versions (23 windows with a ragtop). The second generation busses come in two types, standard (13 windows) and deluxe (21 windows with a ragtop). There are also 5 first generation delivery vans (doors on both sides of the van) in red, blue, orange, grey and white. 7 second generation campers with pop-tops and roofracks, in blue, green, yellow, orange, red, white and tan. 5 first generation, single-cab pickup trucks in white, grey, red, orange and blue, there are also two pickups with a canvas bed canopy, one white and one blue. Some of the colors are a bit different between models, for variety.

 

Installation: Just unzip the contents of the zip file into your plugins folder, following the folder structure in the zip file. You must install the file VW_Type_2_Shared.dat, the individual vehicle files are all optional. Refer to the enclosed jpeg for examples of the window styles. All the microbusses are named according to their window configurations: '23win', '21win', '15win', or '13win' are used along with their color in the file name. Likewise the campers, delivery vans and pickups are named accordingly, the two with canopies have 'canopy' in their name.

 

Thanks to Rivit for letting me use his kombi model!

 

Pack two is in the works, and will include the late model busses, campers and double-cab pickups.

 

I have a lot of automata installed besides my creations, and installing all of these has not swamped my traffic with them, I recommend you install them all, then see how it looks before you thin a few out of your plugins. For me they show up just a bit less than my Beetles.

 

Enjoy!

Thanks! the so-called 23 window busses were the original deluxe models, they're pretty rare nowadays, they were only in production through the 1963 production year, when the wraparound windows in the rear went away, and a wider rear window and hatch became the norm (second gen.) in 1964

..also the term 'Kombi" was actually a specific type of bus with an unfinished interior in the rear, and removable seats allowing it's use as both cargo, and passenger transporter..hence kombi (combo). On the outside they were identical to the standard microbus.

Wow, great work! I remember the classic VW Transporter automata cruising around in SC3000. Good to see them back on the streets of SC4

These VW packs are really great, thanks very much for sharing, but could you please consider a re-release the original Beetle pack with separate automata files--the bugs are swarming like flies on my roads and I'd hate to get rid of them all

ohh. I have thought about modding the H2 that mikeseith did to include some of the older models, so maybe at some point I will do some military humvees...no promises yet though

Oh, wow, these are swell. I wish I had these earlier, but as regular props to download/link as a dependency for my pack of surf shops that I posted last summer. They're terrific!

that's a great work. I have a suggestion to make Elric 888. Could you make a pack of truck with graffiti on?

I've been nagging my wife to let me buy and restore one of these for years. Looking forward to the T2's. Many thanks.
