IMPROVED TRUCK PHYSICS V2.0 MOD FOR ATS

– 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 chassis, cabin, engine, transmission and wheel wear;

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

17. Updated physics for vanilla and Jazzycat trailers;

18. Added 4 new windshield wipers modes;

19. Added roll resistance and wet grip parameters for tires;

20. Added possibility to loose control over truck due to weather conditions or reckless driving;

21. And other changes…

Compatible with 1.6.x of ATS. Work on older versions is not guaranteed. Please keep original download link!

Installation instructions:

1. Extract all files from downloaded rar-archive to some temp folder;

2. Copy BASE.scs from this temp dir to MOD folder;

3. Based on your requirements, copy required truck/trailer mod files (from “Others” folder) to MOD folder;

4. Open in-game mod manager and enable all copied mods (refer to “correct mod installation” chapter for proper physics mod installation);

3. Play!
