This mod is my preferred adaptation for the truck physics, when the cabin view is used primarily. It shakes a little bit more the cabin during your road trips and creates a better feeling for load transfer.

Adjustments had been made on:
# steering
# brakes
# suspension
# clutch

Please note:
I am not a Modder; therefore, I just publish this for others, who maybe likes this kind of physics.

# If you like this modification, so have fun with it.
# If you do not like this modification, so have fun without it.

Thx for this info.

@FX4150: If you are talking of Alaska NTTF: From the beginning of the snowy area at Dalton Highway up to Prudhoe Bay, it already has its own physics modifications! If you use another winter/snow physics mod on top, they end up multipliying each other, so it gets almost unplayable. Best deactivate physics mods before going north of Fairbanks and reactivate when back there - that's how I do it.

Thanks for the feedback. To be honest, I haven't been on ETS/ATS for 3 years and have no idea how the Alaska map works. ^^'

You're right, if you have 120t of cargo without a trailer front axle, the front goes up and the truck has less traction. Unfortunately, this is due to the relatively soft suspension, which allows the cabin to tilt the way I wanted it to. This probably needs to be adjusted again.

In the last few months, some new content has been added, but I haven't checked its effect on my mod.

This mod is based on ETS version 1.19, I think it needs to be revised.

I'll try to fix this soon. The winter behavior in particular is a challenge.

alaskan map you cant go over 40 or 10 on corners

also has 350h on ats vs over 1000h yes you can save the spin outs 100% agreed no jake and adgust the brakes in settings so they dont lock up or use the abs settings.. But this mod is not perfect the way you make it to be yes modder did a good job with what limitations in game there are. alaska needs help when needing to chain up. when hauling heavy loads not your 20t your used to im talking about 50-125t up huge hills or ice and you have no traction on front tires and if u use a 8x6 you cant even turn. with no physics mod its too easy we need a fix..

lol love how you state its on there end. you a pro driver wheres you DZ bud?

@PsYchoNauTek i live in -45 winters i know how to react. problem is nobody has tire chains that do something "im running Alaskan mod" some corners are 10kph or you just keep going straight idk how much slower you need to drive but i guess if your doing 10kph you will some point get there. No im not using any other mod but frostys winter.

thx :]

your physics are the best i found for real simulation. awesome mod. i dont drive without it.

@PsYchoNauTek

thx, yeah ... there is a limitation of the game physics unfortunately
