Kenworth W990 edited by Harven

This is Harven’s edition of Frank Peru’s w990. The mod was supposed to be just a fix for his mod but at some point I decided to do a complete overhaul. I removed everything (materials, textures, definitions, sounds, paintjobs – everything :)) from the mod and started with plain meshes. I did a lot of optimizing at this stage so the truck should not slow down the game too much ;). Lots of details which were in meshes is now in normal maps. I also replaced some models with lower-tris-count custom made ones. Since I made all the def files from scratch and also changed some locators and added new ones, you need to sell the old w990 before you activate this mod.

Features:
– the truck can be purchased at level 0 but also supports player progression (level up to unlock more parts),
– parts prices are set to match SCS trucks,
– 9 engines (5 varinats of Cummins X15 and 4 variants of PACCAR MX-13) with real specs and awesome sounds by Kriechbaum. One of PACCAR engines is multitorque (455MT) with higher torque in overdrive gears (gear ratio < 1.0), for instance 8L and 8H in 13 and 18 speed transmissions,
– 13 transmissions – 5 manual, 5 automated and 3 automatic – all based on real specs,
– the shifter inside the cab will change based on selected transmission and will show the proper gears layout for selected manual transmission (10, 13, 15 and 18 speeds),
– 2 cabin options – day cab and 76-inch mid-roof sleeper,
– 5 chassis variants – all 6×4 with different wheel bases and tank sizes,
– 5 interior variants,
– 5 customizable painjobs and a few predefined paint colors,
– mod includes a custom made small light pack so you can fill up all the light slots without the need to install separate light packs,
– custom made CB radio (Cobra 29 LX) with wobbling cord
– the truck is available in quick jobs (also in heavy and oversized jobs),
– support for SiSL Mega Pack and SCI steering wheels (separate mods),
– support for advanced coupling,
– support for trailer cables,
– accurate shadows and collision boxes.

Changelog (since I removed everything besides meshes (and some meshes as well), most things were made a new – here are only the most important changes or the ones I can still remember):
