I did not add ES Limiter (Speed Limiter) and Manual Ignition specialisations, because I would highly recommend using the latest global versions of these mods to enhance the experience of using the JCB 3CX mod. These mods self install themselves to all vehicles.

Known issues:

– Only Single Player compatible for now (not MP compatible)
– Some UV errors in the log
– When loading a saved game with a rear bucket attached, the bucket is in a position where it interferes with a collision on the back actor. It is ok once you unfold the back actor a bit to move the bucket away from the body.
