Lift/Drop Axle

[Razorgirl ♀🎮]

In the game, when would you use this function? It does not seem to be required, but to get the immersion when would be appropriate to use it?

I use it when the weight of cargo/trailer is at 15 tons or more. The tag lift automatically drops around this weight. Mid-lift you have to do it manually.

ok...so is tag or midlift better?

Its more prevelant in the UK as trucks must have 3 axles to run over 40tonnes. As I understand it in the UK anyway its as follows:

General haulage fleets are usually spec'd with the mid-lift, it allows the operators to lift this when running empty or pulling lighter cargo, therefore saving tyre wear.

The tag-lift is generally seen on more specialist haulage trucks i.e construction, timber haulage, quarries etc generally when some off road driving is required. I dont drive trucks but I believe it allows the trucks to be more manouverable i.e allows a 6x2 to handle like a 4x2.

In the game I employ all trucks with the mid-lift setup. I will lift this when hauling anything under 10tonnes
