Improved Truck Physics v 1.4

– Mod adds more realistic and hard physics for ATS trucks;

– It is now more difficult to drive a truck, “feel” of the truck is increased;

– Changed driver body movement physics, which is now less static;

– Added five new modes for windshield wipers for vanilla and mod trucks (four intermittment modes, one long, one short) from 15 item list;

– Lots of changes was made in truck behavior:

1. Changed cabin weight to a more realistic value;

2. Changed brake efficiency: less overall effectiveness an less effectiveness at low speed (but higher upper margin of “low speed”). Increased max. brakes temperature, increased warm up/cool down rates;

3. Decreased autocentering speed of steering wheel. Decreased truck turning ability;

4. Increased rotational wheel resistance and air resistance. Also, increased inertia – slower acceleration and stopping;

5. Increased clutch strength for more realistic clutch-transmission behavior;

6. Decreased retarder effectiveness;

7. Increased chassis suspension travel values for vanilla trucks;

8. Slightly decreased overall damping force for truck/trailer chassis suspension;

9. Transmission inertia decreased;

10. Added tyres slip possibility. Tyres a little less rigid now;

11. Increased flywheel resistance – RPM drops faster, when not in gear;

12. Increased intensity of engine braking – truck slow downs faster, when truck is not given throttle;

13. Decreased engine compression – truck loses speed more quicker, when no throttle is given;

14. Increased transmission resistance – more losses in transmission.

15. Added slightly modified chassis files for:

16. Added chassis, cabin, engine, transmission and wheel wear;

17. Less damage from truck to trailer, but overall damage level increased;

18 And other changes…

Installation instructions:

1.Extract scs file from downloaded archive to mod folder of ATS;

2.Open in-game mod manager and enable “Improved truck physics” mod;

3.Play!

Important! If you will use this mod with supported truck mods (look at added trucks list), use it with higher priority! If you will use this mod with non-supported truck mod, use it with higher priority, than this physics mod!
