thanks man, it's a great mod. I will wait. <3
Eddie Yantz  [author] 14 Dec, 2023 @ 4:07pm 
not yet :( I will update it in a few days

Is it working on 1.49?

config_local.cfg:
uset g_brake_intensity "0.5" //max = 3 - is very good work! (tested in ATS 1.46)
kretschmer 14 Nov, 2022 @ 12:34pm 
OK. I read values 0.6 or 0.85. Unfortunately, I don't have a steering wheel. I play with controller. I'm currently in ATS, of course with your values too. I have to reassemble ETS after update 1.46, I have a lot of mods running.
Eddie Yantz  [author] 13 Nov, 2022 @ 10:45pm 
@kretschner, 0.5 brake intensity is too low; I increased it.
kretschmer 11 Nov, 2022 @ 1:58am 
alright, I'll work with that. I think values for towing and shaking of the cabin when braking and starting are better for simulating. You don't drive very much without a load anyway. For looking at the environment and exploring vantage points, I'll use a mobile home or car later;-) First of all, thanks for the answer, I'll test your values!:steamthumbsup:

values found in my text notes are obsolete
Eddie Yantz  [author] 10 Nov, 2022 @ 11:26pm 
config.cfg:
- uset g_cabin_suspension_stiffness "0.5" //range 0.0-??
- uset g_suspension_stiffness "0.2" //range 0.0-1.0
- uset g_trailer_stability "0.1" //range 0.0-0.5
- uset g_driveshaft_torque "0.5" //range 0.0-1.0
- uset g_truck_stability "0.5" //range 0.0-0.5

config_local.cfg:
uset g_brake_intensity "0.5" //max = 3??


I like heavy haul; finding one perfect brake-intensity for good performance for both bob-tailing and hauling is a work in progress ;)

Good morning Eddie, after the update I had to look at many mods manually and I delved deeper again. The config.cfg to be edited can be found very hidden in steam players. With me below

C\programs(86)\steam\userdata\numberfolder\numberfolder\remote\profiles\numberfolder\config.cfg.

There ALL parameters can be entered by numbers except brake strength (config_local). Since update 1.46, driveshift torque in ETS and ATS can now be switched off using a slider.
When comparing texts and images, I noticed the following: The values for braking strength vary between 0.85 and 0.6 and 0.5.
In the case of suspension stiffness, the text shows 0.0, in the photo you have 0.2. What value are you currently working with?

Super Eddie, nice that you don't have to constantly change the controls. I'm currently playing an annual season, spring, summer, fall and winter (also at ATS) - Grimes weather mods fit because of the weather season. So change the weather about every 90 game days. And your two physics mods complement that perfectly. At that time I came across your mods via the AirSeat. That is included in your mods, perfect. Thank you for your work and information. Best regards

1.46
Eddie Yantz  [author] 5 Nov, 2022 @ 10:13am 
BTW, Grimes weather mods are the best I've found.
Eddie Yantz  [author] 5 Nov, 2022 @ 10:10am 
Yes, I use the same truck settings for both dry and slippery. Of course they're personal preference.

What changes between dry and slippery is how the tire-to-road interface behaves.

I tweaked several o\her truck behaviors, too, but they're identical in both mods; for example, my AirSeat-Ride settings are included in both dry and slippery mods.

Remember, tire choice matters. On multi-axle owned trailers I put better-grip tires on the most rear axle, which provides better trailer control when using the trailer brake on slippery surfaces.
kretschmer 5 Nov, 2022 @ 3:05am 
OK, understood. Nevertheless, I would like to ask again - for your summer mod and winter mod you use the same parameters on the slider, correct? Incidentally, the driveshaft_torque parameter is missing in the German setting - it is not displayed to me.
For winter feeling I use the Grimes winter mod (https://grimesmods.wordpress.com/) or do you know a better one? - He has his own physics mod, which I would like to overwrite with yours. Of course, he must have programmed other values and the controls there are all on the right. In the game, however, I found your applications better - so it is very important how I set the rules. Hence my question - the controller settings for summer and winter are the same for you. is it correct? Sorry but I want to play it perfectly - lol
Eddie Yantz  [author] 4 Nov, 2022 @ 12:38pm 
thank you, I hadn't realized how confusing my previous instructions were :)
kretschmer 4 Nov, 2022 @ 12:31pm 
Very nice screens, thx Eddie!
kretschmer 1 Nov, 2022 @ 6:58am 
Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, I definitely only find one config.cfg in \Documents\ETS 2 - and the entries are not stored there. I play Steam version.
Adjusting the sliders is of course also possible - but how is the value to be understood?
0 equal left - 1 middle - 2 right ?

And in your winter physics you only adjusted the braking intensity? correct, right? Slider left of center - does that correspond to about 0.75? No changes to the other parameters?
Sorry, I'd like to play perfectly, hence my questions...
best regards

The settings can be adjusted approximately with sliders in Options, Gameplay.

At least TWO config.cfg exist: one in the main game folder. and one under each profiles' folder.
Do not enter lines manually. If you don't see them, you're in the main game's config.cfg.

in your PROFILES's config.cfg, they look like this:

uset g_cabin_suspension_stiffness "0.5"
uset g_suspension_stiffness "0.2"
uset g_trailer_stability "0.1"
uset g_driveshaft_torque "0.5"
uset g_truck_stability "0.5"

adjust only the numbers

Hi Eddie, thank you for your mod. I think I activated it correctly. However, I can't find any settings in the config? Do I have to insert the lines there manually?
(g_cabin_suspension_stiffness "0.5" adjustable text editing in "\profile\###\config.cfg")
- (g_suspension_stiffness "0.0" adjustable with slider or text editing in "\profile\###\config.cfg")
- (g_trailer_stability "0.1" adjustable with slider or text editing in "\profile\###\config.cfg")
- (g_truck_stability "0.255" adjustable with slider or text editing in "\profile\###\config.cfg")
I was able to edit the first value for the braking force in the Config_Local. But in the config (steam profile) I can't find the entries. Best regards

1.45 - Multiplayer optional
Eddie Yantz  [author] 13 Nov, 2021 @ 7:29pm 
1.43
Scott Lund 6 Oct, 2019 @ 12:05pm 
Good Job, Thank you!
Eddie Yantz  [author] 12 Aug, 2019 @ 9:42am 
Both. A slider exists in game (Options, Game preferences, Truck Settings), but it shows no values. middle of slider ~~ 0.85, which can be verified (not necessary) 1) by text editing g_brake_intensity in "\profile\###\config_local.cfg" or 2) by typing g_brake_intensity in dev console.
Shaquille Oatmeal 6 Aug, 2019 @ 1:42am 
g_brake_intensity "0.85" is that a command to put in dev console or is it in config of the game?
