Engine Units
There are a few things where I'm not sure whether my explanation is technically correct/complete:
# <del>detail_model vs model vs lods &ndash; I think I have this correct for ''accessory_cargo_data'' and ''accessory_chassis_data'' but I think ''accessory_cabin_data'' uses a special case with lods for mirror views (Volvo 2012 iirc). Could someone clarify?</del> I looked again and realized/remembered the mirror LOD's are unused. (That's a damned good idea though!)
# suitable_for/conflict_with &ndash; Isn't there another control character besides asterisk (*)?
# accessory_wheel_data&rarr;inner_width/inner_radius &ndash; Are these deprecated, or just mostly unused?
Will take a look at the Second numbering in near future ;) [[User:50keda|50keda]] ([[User talk:50keda|talk]])50keda
 
Actually, you'd be surprised. I get asked for this kind of info fairly often &ndash; Usually people asking for an engine, etc equivalent of my animation cheatsheet. Plus, a lot of people I've shown the WIP unit articles to have found them helpful. Tutorials are important too, but they're generally not good for quick reference after you've completed them. Regarding game updates, as long as there are still ''modding guides'' released per version, the unit pages aren't that hard to maintain. I think the 1.6/1.27 changes took me like 15 minutes. :P
 
Regarding the Subclasses sections, that's an unfortunate decision IMO. Is there any chance of an "appeal" considering my [http://modding.scssoft.com/index.php?title=Documentation/Engine/Units/accessory_data&oldid=3073#Subclasses last revision] to them? My "focus group" found it much less confusing &mdash; even ''helpful''. ;)

== Documentation/Engine/Game data/Player trucks definitions ==
Intro is not really true. There is no complementary unit systems there is just one :D So first sentence can be completely removed. Further more I would rename first section (Data Definitions) to "Vehicle Parts Definitions" and second section (Vehicle and Dealer Definitions) to "Vehicle Configurations".
