It's the dynamic steering which won't allow certain wheel inputs after a certain speed. Same system on modern prevost busses...

No, Chuck Norris isn't computer generated or animated. Its a composited image where elements have been computer generated but some are real. After Effects is a compositor although there are plenty of apps that also do that. I mentioned AE specifically since somebody mentioned Photoshop, both Pshop and AE are made by Adobe. -Curt Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 13:46:30 +1030 From: Hendrik and Fay To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Van Damme and Volvo uje0ajah Message-ID: <52b3b68e.5070...@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I think the words we are looking for is computer generated animation.

The system is designed to be a drivers aid, works both in forward and reverse. Yeah backing a unit with one articulation is pretty easy, when you got two or more it becomes a bit trickier. One of the tasks to gain a MC (multi combination) license is to back up a B-double for a 100 meters or so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nSWoJ7A3Do Hendrik who took 15 minutes to reverse a B double On 20/12/13 15:36, Michael Canfield wrote: Yeah, that was the whole point of the ad.
