ATS – Improved Truck Physics Mod V2.0 (1.6.X)

ATS Version: 1.6.x – 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! Supported trucks list: All trucks can be used with this mod, but full support (modified chassis files and added new windshield wipers modes) are available for these trucks below: 4 trucks from vanilla game; Freightliner Classic XL by Softclub-NSK, Oleg Conte, Sergej Baltazar, dmitry68, Ventyres, odd_fellow, SCS Software, vitalik062 Freightliner Coronado by Softclub-NSK, Stas556, dmitry68, Kriechbaum, knox_xss, David Otto, Joe Smith, vitalik062; Freightliner FLB by Harven; Freightliner Inspiration by Dmitry_68, Felipe Conbar; International 9800 by SCS, Blinkman, SoftLab NSK, Ventures, Joe, Slava1; International Eagle 9900i by Superman, evh5150vanhalen, Danclark, Kriechbaum; International Lonestar by SCS Software, Franck Brasil; Kenworth 521 by Virat, Peerke, Kriechbaum; Kenworth K200 by RTA Team; Kenworth T600 by Josh Farley; Kenworth T800 2016 beta by GT-Mike, SCS Software; Kenworth T908 by Virat, SCS Software; Kenworth W900 long by Dmitry68; Mack Pinnacle by Sib3rius, Corby, Superman; Mack Ultraliner by Elaman, Gazila, Mahad110; Peterbilt 351 by jawa, Stas556, Kriechbaum; Peterbilt 377 by AMT Team; Peterbilt 387 by Ch_Vitalik, Kirilloid22, Dmitry68, Gosha Motor; Peterbilt 389 by Viper2; Peterbilt 389 by True Arts Modding; Scot A2HD by Smarty, Transtar, Kriechbaum; Volvo VNL 670 by Aradeth; Volvo VNL 780 by Franck Brasil. -24.05.17 Version 2.0 Changelog: – Updated chassis definition files for trucks and trailers (both vanilla and Jazzycat ones); – Updated interior definition files for vanilla and modded trucks; – Stiffer truck and trailer chassis suspension; – Added support for: Freightliner Inspiration by Dmitry_68, Felipe Conbar; Kenworth K200 by RTA Team; Kenworth 521 by Virat, Peerke, Kriechbaum; Kenworth T908 by Virat, SCS Software.
