SCS Volvo VNL (2014) Improved Dashboard Computer

Description
This mod improves the default dashboard computer in the Volvo VNL (2014) made by SCS.
This mod does not try to be realistic; I just changed things that I think improve the dashboard computer.

Features and changes:
  • Retarder and engine brake indicators
  • Low fuel warning indicator
  • Permanent cruise control set speed and indicator in the top right corner
  • Cruise control indicator gets highlighted when cruise control is active
  • Current speed display (so you can actually drive those pesky low speed limits in some areas)
  • Estimated time to arrival and time until rest added to dashboard computer
  • Instant fuel consumption added to economy display
  • Shrunk "Visit Service!" message. Now only overwrites the current speed display
  • Improved spacing all around

Known issues:
  • When using kilometers the economy display might not display units as they are too long to fit the space, just add "liters/100km" to the numbers in your mind.

The icon for the cruise control indicator is taken from the Westernstar 49X.

Created by ØnYx.

Special thanks go to piva for his guide on how to create on-board computer mods.

Mod still works in v1.55. No update necessary.

@Rookie_One, thank you for your suggestions. But as I wrote in the description of the mod, this mod does not try to be realistic. I just shared the dashboard computer that I created for myself. There are other dashboard computer mods available on the workshop that try to be more realistic.

Nice one, that said 3 small thing(don't know if you can do them, but they might be nice to have) :

IRL, no low fuel indicator, these are on the gauges. Also no color indicator in the display, it's all monochrome

You are missing the fuel economy bar for the fuel economy display

Finally : The gear display is fine for a VNL equipped with an Eaton transmission, but on the VNL with an i-Shift transmission, it's a bit different : the square is aligned left and contain the transmission mode, at left of that you have arranged in a vertical line the drives mode available (R, N, D and M), in the middle of the gear display you have the current gear, and in the right on the gear display you have the current drive mode (E for Economy and P for performance).

IMO, if you could fix the first 2 ones, you would have the perfect Eaton computer display :)

Love it, thank you.

Released a small update that reduces the size of the "Visit Service!" message. It now only blocks the current speed display instead of half the screen.
