Ultima trailer cover

[Earnest Pea]

Is anyone using the Ultima or AW Ultima trailer by IJ Creative Design? They're nice trailers, but I can't get the cover to open or close. I started with the 18T from the Ultima pack on Modhub. When that wouldn't work I tried the 18T trailer in the AW Ultima pack with no luck. There are no issues in my log and the in-game help menu shows no controls for opening or closing the cover. Its not game breaking, but it would be nice to control the cover. Any ideas?

I can see in the description on Modhub that the covers are optional - did you choose the cover when purchasing the trailer?

I did choose the cover option. In every try, the purchased trailer spawns with the cover closed. I'm unable to open the cover and there are no indicated keys to open it in the help menu. Of course, tipping the trailer (using tip anywhere ability) causes the cover to open. After that the cover remains open and cannot be closed.

I've scanned the log for problems and there are none. I've unzipped the mod and looked for issues, but they seem okay. I'll compare them to some mod trailers I have which do work. I'll also give it a shot with no other mods installed. I'd communicate with the author, but I don't use Facebook etc.

As I said though, it's not a game ending problem. The trailer still works fine and looks great. I'll use it whether the cover works or not.

Yep, sometimes it's just annoying - not game breaking

If it was me, I would go into the key bindings and find all the lines that is named "Open cover" and check if they all have a key assigned. Usually "N" but I have also seen and used "Z"
Good luck

Thanks for the reminder. Normally, I would have done that. Must have forgotten.

Tested with all other mods removed. Cover controls now show up in the help menu: up on the Dpad for XB1 controller or 'Z' on the keyboard. They seem to be strange choices for no good reason.

I've narrowed it down. It seems to not get along with the mod 'Realistic Steering'. I haven't looked any further into it, but it's nice to know what it's conflicting with.

I'm glad you figured it out
