Improved Truck Physics by AlexeyP [1.6.x]
Improved Truck Physics v 2.0 for Ats 1.6.x game version features: - 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 physics, which is now less static; - Added five new modes for windshield wipers for vanilla and mod trucks (four intermittent modes, one long, one short) from 15 item list; - Lots of changes what made in truck behavior: 1. Changed cabin weight to a more realistic value; 2. Changed brake efficiency: less overall efficiency at low efficiency 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 resistance and air resistance. So, increased inertia - slower acceleration and stopping; 5. Increased clutch strength for more realistic clutch-transmission behavior; 6. Decreased retarder effectiveness; 7. Increased chassis suspension values ??for vanilla trucks; 8. Slightly reduced overall damping force for truck / trailer chassis suspension; 9. Transmission inertia decreased; 10. Added tires slip possibility. Tires 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 loose speed more quicker, when no throttle is given; 14. Increased transmission resistance - more losses in transmission. 15. Added slightly modified chassis files for various truck mods; 16. Added chassis, cabin, engine, transmission and wheel wear; 17. Less damage from truck to trailer, 18. Updated physics for vanilla and Jazzycat trailers; 19. Added 4 new windshield wipers modes; 20. Added rolling resistance and wet grip parameters for tires; 21. Added control of the vehicle, 22. And other changes ...

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!
