DAF F241 series trucks

Description
This mod adds DAF F241 series trucks in different versions and with an abundance of trailers. The range includes a few of the 1973 initial version of the truck but mainly offers the updated version from 1979. In 1984 the Spacecab versions become available follewed by the ATi engines in 1985. Also included is the RÁBA S22 licensed version of the truck.
All trailers featured are different from those released before, albeit with maybe minimal diffeneces like different colour use, many have model mesh novelties. As such the 12.2m trailers are raised slightly and the 13.6m trailers show more conventional rear lights. New additions are the 12.2m petroleum trailer and the 2 axle stake dolly.
For this mod I took much inspiration from (old) Herpa scale models, it therefrom is not unlikely that you will have (had) one or more of these on your H0-scale model RR layout.
Featured liveries are mostly, not limited to, German and Dutch. Riwatrans, Schenker, Van Gend & Loos, Schwarz Bau, Felbermayr and others are also featured in (my) other mods, but also some new brands like Leolux, Tom Shanks and Furness and others make an appearance.
Further more (and as usual) variety is offered with small extra's such as e.g. sun shields, extra lights or different bumpers.

tip om je te helpen op google staat het over kentekens haar fijn uitgelegd van alle jaartallen nogmaals en tip om je te helpen

Ok, bedankt dview, je spreekt ook gewoon Nederlands, wist ik niet zeker. Maar ik heb alles nu ingesteld staan op "next" en nu kan ik wel de truck selecteren die ik wil. Ik had je al eerder een bericht gestuurd geloof ik met mijn eigen webpagina met ontwerpen voor van Gend en Loos trucks...Wellicht kan je er wat mee. Het is een icoon geweest in Nederland natuurlijk...Ik heb het zelf ook al geprobeerd bij de Scania trucks, maar skinnen in dit spel is niet echt mijn ding.

@fbergsma, klopt. Ik meen dat dit in de jaren negentig zo was, in de begin fase dat trailers eigen kentekens kregen. Wellicht pas ik dat nog een keertje aan, maar het staat niet gepand. ;)

@DriverKaldie; it sounds like you then still have the overall random selected. Try changing the larger top icon from the default question mark (= random) to the Next icon.

wat mij opvalt is dat bij de Nederlandse vrachtwagens de trailers witte kentekens heeft in plaats van geel Nederlandse

This is an awesome mod and I use it in all of my games. However, I also use the asset trucks but there is one thing that I can't do. When I want to select a certain truck as an asset it never gives me the one that I want. When I wan't to fill up a large loading area with PTT trucks I click on the PTT truck asset, but mostly get another truck. I have to keep clicking to get the right one.

When I finally have the right one and place the asset down, the truck changes again, so when I want to place an identical truck next to it I have to start clicking and clicking over and over again until I get the right one.

Filling up a parkinglot with the 20 of these trucks takes for ever because I never have the one that I want instantly...so how does that work ?

Well @dview it would make the mod menu cleaner as it would only be one mod but also it would be nice to have all the F241 under one tab in vehicle depot.
