KRAZ 256 — a classic heavy-duty Soviet truck recreated for BeamNG, enhanced for improved realism and driving experience. This mod combines the original features of Bagusik’s creation with several updates and refinements by ivan_beamng, making it more functional and authentic.

Main features:
– Fully modeled KRAZ 256, capturing the iconic proportions and rugged design of the original truck
– Improved engine sound, updated starter, and revised gearbox behavior for a more realistic driving feel
– Updated gear ratios (originally 12, now 5), with slightly reduced engine power to balance maximum speed
– Functional instrument panel, including animated gear lever and drive shafts
– Tilting cargo bed, reflecting the truck’s real-world utility
– Realistic damage system, providing believable deformations during collisions
– Some limitations of the original mod addressed, such as minor texture improvements and mechanical adjustments

Additional details:
– Original advantages from Bagusik’s mod include nearly fully functional dashboard (excluding air pressure gauge animation and a few indicator lights), animated drivetrain components, and a generally solid damage system
– Some minor shortcomings remain, such as limited configurations, slightly soft textures in places, and the hood and fenders modeled as one piece
