Originally, the Wind Power Plant uses the civilian pickup truck as a service vehicle. It's always a random color and didn't seem to fit the theme very well. This truck is a new custom vehicle added to the game. It does not replace an existing car slot, it does not remove an existing vehicle. This is a big milestone for me proving that a vehicle can be added to the game. More research will follow! If you notice any problems, please report them in the comments and I will look at the issues as soon as possible. Be looking for more mods like this very soon! Thanks for your support. Happy modding :)

I had no idea there even was a truck used at the wind farm! I guess I should try to build windmills more often...Great job again Parker! I love the new F-150s too, great job on getting that look right.

Great work! Maybe you could include before and after pictures to provide a brief comparison?

Wait...there's a wind farm service truck?

Looks good.

 

Yeah, the turbines stop spinning every so often and a little guy in a truck goes out and fixes them.

This looks terrific. I can't help but think that it maybe needs a ladder. Aaand now I am imagining what a bucket truck with a Ford cab would look like!! Keep up the great work!

"This truck is a new custom vehicle added to the game."

 

Awesome! Does that mean one could potentially have your original vehicles set as an addition to the default cars with the ability to add more in the future? Or would that cause performance issues?

Performance isn't really the issue for most users. It's actually adding the cars to the game and giving them the properties they require to operate. I assure you, I am working on it :) Stay tuned!
