[SCR] Peerless CTS-42 Chip Van

Description
Version 1.1 for ATS 1.54+
Version 1.0 for ATS 1.35-1.53

Author:
Smarty

Description:
The Peerless CTS-42 is a lightweight chip van with an impressive 65,000 lb payload capacity. It is manufactured by KNL Holdings LLC out of Paragould, Arkansas. This mod brings this interesting trailer to life in ATS for ownership, and for the freight market. It has animated landing gear, trailer cable support, and advanced coupling.

Current limitations
For now, the tarp is always open. It was this, or always closed. If/when SCS adds suitable functionality to make this possible, I will implement the closed state for the tarp.

For now, this does not support World of Trucks jobs. This is an unfortunate side effect of eliminating unrealistic loads like hay/scrapped cars (I've used a custom trailer type, and thus a custom cargo).

Wheels:
This mod is intended to be used with my wheel pack. Make sure you have the Wheel Pack set with higher priority than the trailer(s) in the Mod Manager. You can use it without the Wheel Pack, but the default wheels do not look good on it.

no worries dear trucker, just as it's said - please be more careful next time :p2chell:

modders have a plenty of mods and answering all the same questions again and again for each one might get, at least, time-consuming... thus they may be kept ignored - if were answered previously

well, I hope it's an understandable point :104:

Hey, I absolutely love this trailer first and foremost, I live next to two mills so I see these things endlessly.

For whatever reason, I can't get the loads to show up in the Cargo Market. Is that intentional or did I.. as usual, screw up something on my end?

Thanks in advance and for keeping this UTD!

it's a "known bug" currently (actually just a WIP) so we just have to wait for the update on this point

Hey brother great trailer! I'm curious what I'm doing wrong when I pick up a load I can't see the materials in the trailer just shows as empty although it's loaded. Also does the tarp work now if so what do I press to open/close it or if I need to add a keybind what keybind am I looking for?

hey Smarty! Am I understanding it right you are going to take care of those new cargoes from SCS by implementing their models into this trailer in the future?

thanks for the update by the way!! :p2cube:
