------------------------ About -----------------------------
This is an addon trucks i made for the game 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal 
This "Volvo FH16 2003 model 500" is a high quality model which I did spend 
a lot of time and energy on.I have added real VolvoFh16 dashbord textures.
The model in 3dsmax was not high polygons but i had to fix the normals in zmodeler2
and that calculate normals in zmodeler2 did make the model even more with polygons.
I had no chooise i removed some extra part to reduse the polygons and i have only applyed 
calculate normals in zmodeler2 to the volvo body part only to reduce the file zise and polygons.
For other parts i have not applayed calculate normals.To make it smooth in the game.

About the 3 extra included accessory  :
This Volvo FH16 includes 3 accessory called "Advanced Bumper"  and "Advanced Pipes" and "michelin_dolls"
The idea with this accessory is not have it all the time you can remove it or buy again.
To Buy accessory :
1) Start the game and hit N key
2) Go to Trucks > Part Shop > Misc accessory filter (smokepipe icon) 
3) Select the name : "Advanced bumper" and click the BUY button
now done exit and you will see it is attached to your truck.
if you want to remove it simply do the step again and click the Sell button.
