It's something me and a friend are working on, hoping to make a game of it.  Going for Driver (PSOne) style gameplay with a comic/art deco look.  The truck is going to be a type of timed skill challenge mish where when you get to your destination, the cam will automatically change to inside view and you will be required to use your mirrors to back into a loading dock.

Looks great!!

Not sure how much realism you are going for but if you want to tweek it a bit for more realism as a former CDL-A driver I noticed it is possible in the demo to turn at fast speeds (not that it really matters, its a game) but just for reference: at high speed... even an empty trailer which is fairly heavy would tend to push the cab right over the curb if a sharp turn was made. With a heavy load also likely resulting in a jackknife and/or trailer flipping over. It looks very good as it is just throwing in my 2 cents.

Most perpendicular turns even with empty trailer in RL would require slowing down to about 5 mph, or wide turns (ie off-ramp from an interstate) would require safe speed of no more than 10 or so mph depending on cargo weight (if I remember correctly).

If you can get it a bit more accurate you might even be able to sell it to CDL driving schools.

Hope this helps! Keep up the great work!

@Joe Thanks!  I'm actually going for a entirely non-realistic arcade feel.  I may in the future try something more sim like, depending on how far I get with this.  Never thought about selling anything to a CDL school, but now you have me thinking about it!   ;D
