Volvo FH16 not turning when towing

Post by Howa308win »

Keep getting issues with the Volvo DLC trucks not turning when having a heavy trailer on the back as if it lifts the front wheels off the ground and loses steering control doesn’t do it with any of the man mod trucks only the Volvo DLC pretty disappointing makes it un drivable
Also the in game flat beds can’t handle the Volvo excavator on the back even when strapped down it slides off the side and tips the truck over

Yep,found exactly the same with the FH16 when pulling a full trailer,and the same issues with the EC380 on trailers.I was disappointed myself,but kind of learnt to live with it,as with most of the game.It’s like everything is always 90% finished,and it falls at the final 10%.

same here i ended up going back to the shop and swapping all my trucks to a single back axle

now if i could just get training wheels on the side of my curtain sider trailer to stop it falling over on corners when loaded , ended up there using an auto load low loader for all my pallet and bales work

Here's a FIX:

I love the new Volvo FH trucks. The sound package is really good. A work around to the low front end weight preventing steering during heavy haul, I noticed there is a front attacher and used the Lizard PW weight from modhub. Color and amount of weight are customizable so it still looks good.

The fifth wheels are mounted too far back on the trucks and puts all the weight behind the center of the tandems/triples; pick weight up from the front end and causing the trucks to not turn/push.

For tandems, the fifth wheel needs to be moved slightly in front of the center of the tandems. Trailers should still have miles of clearance.

For triples, the fifth wheel needs to be moved slightly in front of the center of the two rear axles to clear trailers and the suspension on the 3rd axle needs to be super squishy until it hits it's travel limit.
