And some more... These are the DAF range from the present day, which are essentially upgrades of the design of the ones in the previous post as far as I can tell, hence they look similar.

- DAF LF (4 wheel rigid)
- DAF CF (8 wheel rigid)
- DAF CF (Standard sized artic)
- DAF XF (Larger artic)

Here's the final instalment (unless anyone points out any glaring omissions), this time some Ford vans which bring us up to the modern day:

-Ford Transit (1986, represents the Mk3 onwards)
-Ford Escort Van (1986)
-Ford Transit Connect (2002)

Sources are going up on SVN as I type, but please note (a) they aren't balanced and (b) they are missing translations.

I was going to release one at the weekend, but then I thought to wait until 103.0 is released.  In any case the lorries (along with everything else) are not balanced well, and that really needs fixing.  Is there general demand for an unbalanced release?

YES!

Or, at the very least, keep tossing things into SVN.

If you make unbalanced stuff available you suddenly have a pool of potential balancers. ;)

I haven't tried your new lorries yet, but I imagine it might be fun to balance them, maybe shooting for a baseline of operating cost = 40% of non-bonus cargo revenue on year of introduction . . . (I figure most freight is going to run at least 50% empty.)

I'd be happy to consult the conventional wisdom on balancing methodology, do a bit of grunt work, and submit diffs for your pak files . . .

OK, I can put together a release.  I need to test against the latest nightly to check nothing is broken, then that should do for the stable release of the exe. 

And thanks for the offer of balancing.  I'll open up a new thread with for discussion on proposed balancing methodology.
