MAN TGS 26.640 forestry truck

[Sylv3r]

Hi, can anyone tell me if its possible to remove the auto fold function from the truck, so it wont fold the crane and the stableisers automaticly. I would like to fold the stableisers myself and but the crane the way i like. Thank you for your help.

Yep, a pain to fold the crane every time you need to move the truck a little, So I went into the xml, and made it so the support legs don't come down at all. Added mass to the truck so it's stable loading logs without the support legs. and then just leave the crane unfolded over the load when hauling logs, or I can fold it if I want with the x key.

Mike, could you tell me how did you do it?

You need to change some numbers in the tgx26640.xml. You should find the MAN TGS 26.640 forestry truck mod online and make changes to that and not the truck that comes with the game.

You need to look in the tgx26640.xml




Need to change this




<part node="supportArmRight" startTime="0" endTime="1" startTrans="0 0 0" endTrans="-0.819 0 0" />
<part node="supportArmLeft" startTime="0" endTime="1" startTrans="0 0 0" endTrans="0.819 0 0" />
<part node="supportArmRightPunch" startTime="1" endTime="2" startTrans="0 0 0" endTrans="0 -0.38 0" />
<part node="supportArmLeftPunch" startTime="1" endTime="2" startTrans="0 0 0" endTrans="0 -0.38 0" />



to this



<part node="supportArmRight" startTime="0" endTime="1" startTrans="0 0 0" endTrans="0 0 0" />
<part node="supportArmLeft" startTime="0" endTime="1" startTrans="0 0 0" endTrans="0 0 0" />
<part node="supportArmRightPunch" startTime="1" endTime="2" startTrans="0 0 0" endTrans="0 0 0" />
<part node="supportArmLeftPunch" startTime="1" endTime="2" startTrans="0 0 0" endTrans="0 0 0" />



The only thing you need to change is the endTrans numbers so they = "0 0 0"

and that will make it so the supports legs don't move at all, so that way you can leave the crane unfolded even when driving around.

Or I made the edit and you can download this one, you can give it a try. Also added some mass to the truck.
