Double trailer attach point?

[JoeCake]

why did SCS just introduce a extra attaching point? i think they have to do that and people who make mods will do the rest? or am I wrong?

Can't find infos about " double trailer attach point "

SCS never announced anything like this for ETS2. In the core game, it is not possible to have multiple pivot points, and not even mods can suplement that. We know the engine is fine with it (Extreme Trucker series for instance), but the games after have had it removed from the core gameplay.

Likely due to EU restrictions on trailer length. There is a high probability that not even the Scandanavia DLC will add it either, even though I've heard they do run some doubles occasionally.

Only thing I hope for is that they bring it back for ATS as we have many companies running double trailers, and even a triple setup in one state. It'd be a shame if they didn't bring it back for one reason or another.

I'm not fully clear on what you're asking here, but if you mean towing multiple trailers at the same time? Something like the Australian road trains?

If that is the case, trucks in the EU have to be a certain length by law, this includes the truck and the trailer combined, so what is being asked here will never feature in game.

If I understand correctly and this is what you mean, they've talked about it briefly here:

That is called a Tandem setup, and perfectly legal in the EU, if that's what he means, SCS did talk about it, but we haven't heard anything else about it. I would love to see this in game though.

There is a mod for this already though.

Official DLC would be nice. I will try mod when I finish the regular "career" first.

Anyway back to the road trains... Since Nov 24, 2008 double trailer "road trains" are allowed in EU in following countries with following length.

Finland, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark: 25.25m (Norway has allowed certain roads)
Norway: 19.5m
European Union: 18.75m

Experimental road trains: Sweden: 90 tons, 32,00m; Finland: 94 tons, 31,00m (three trailers)

Most likely official DLC will allow F and G configurations...

There is not the roadtrains we know from Australian, but wee have trucks over the normal 15,5 meter's what is a normal truck, On special rutes in Denmark where i live we have 25 meter's trucks and in Sweden as far as i know they test 35 meter's at the moment so they are in Europe.
