Flatbed With Container Pins Fix V1.61

Download Flatbed With Container Pins Fix mod for ETS2 1.61.

Ever since 1.54, (yes, about 7 versions ago) SCS decided to limit flatbed with container pins, but for some reason they left the old flatbed_cont data unused. To put this simply, flatbed with container pins used to use body_type: flatbed_cont before SCS changed it to body_type: container.

This mod aims to return flatbed cargoes into flatbed with container pins body.

I was livid that it has been over a year since this backwards update was made. I also made this mod while still wishing for SCS to fix this because i used to use this trailer a lot in TruckersMP, but i can’t anymore because i’m stuck with just containers.

Please see the change note to see updates regarding issues written below.

Known Issues:
None

Fixed Issues:
-Flatbed cargoes does not show lashing like straps or chains as the model itself does not have any mounts for the lashes
-Completely disables the current container only body type from being able to show cargoes, you need to choose “Flatbed With Container Pins Fix” at the shop
-Some flatbed cargoes show up differently compared to when using actual flatbeds i.e hay bales show one less model compared to using flatbed wood or flatbed steel
-Large container cargo didn’t show lashing straps
-Mobile air compressor will also overlap, but only when using the shorter body
-Short variant of large tubes cargo will show it overlap with one another
