IMPROVED TRAINS V 3.10.3 DEMO

This Mod adding a More realistic American Trains by PIVA, AlexeyP. With improved Train Sounds by TruckerKid and Drive Safely + my Exclusive content. I’M VERY THANKFUL OF THE AUTHORS for all these materials! Please place this mod above any Sounds and Traffic Density mods in manager. Attention! The mod is Incompatible with other mods for trains (sound and for the length of the train), except in some cases, graphic changing the appearance of trains. The mod does not support game versions, older (1.35). The presence or absence of a DLC does not affect the mod. When testing in ATS (1.35) together with proven mods. Log without errors. It should not conflict with mods that do not affect trains, since it affects only trains and nothing but them. Enjoy it and Have Fun! Changes in 3.10 for ATS (v1.45x): file structure changed (no old addons are compatible anymore) Added random skins and axle configurations to auto trailers transported by trains added locomotive emd-sd60 in Norfolk Southern livery added locomotive emd-sd60 in Union Pacigic livery added locomotive emd-sd70ACe in Norfolk Southern livery added locomotive emd-sd70ACe in Union Pacific livery the mod is backwards compatible with the game 1.44 Changes in 3.8 for ATS (v1.41x): Updated for game version 1.41 Added new livery for ES44 locomotives, BNSF and CEFX companies and updated livery for ATMRAK Dash8, Thanks @cometcrush for the textures specially made for this mod! Added Union Pacific Switcher shunting diesel.(new SCS vanilla model finded in a game archives) many models have been reworked in Blender 3D editor using updated shader presets in Blender tools. the maximum speed limit for freight trains was increased to 85 km / h, the braking force was slightly increased. the recently introduced realistically mixed trains were cut out, they are no longer readable by the game. elimination of the conflict with the new coal wagon added by SCS (the carriage errors has been fixed) added a new train parts cargo to the wagon platform added car models: box, dump and tank ported from ETS2 for a greater variety of rolling stock (car textures will be American but differ in size) return of the simultaneous appearance of two trains on multi-track railways locomotive with tail number 1943 from the Cheyenne Wyoming Railway Museum, added to some of Union Pacific’s scheduled trains. The sound bank has been rewritten, now the tonality of the sounds of the head locomotives (only the first locomotive) depends more on the position of their accelerator handle and not on the current speed. the collisions of the railcar models were reworked to avoid unnecessary calculations of the interaction of collisions with each other during the movement of invisible and not externally manifested mutual collisions that loaded the computing system with parasitic calculations. Fix for missing Trains and Trams in Denver Colorado. fixed all possible compatibility issues with maps of Mexico and ProMods Canada. the ratio of the number of regular trains in comparison with excursion and classic trains has been doubled (steam locomotives will become even rarer). railway traffic to Wyoming and Texas for the future is registered. (Wyoming has a lot of steam locomotives, and coal cars; Texas has a lot of oil tanks). The train spawn fix no longer works in 1.41 so trains can spawn (but not disappearing) next to the player again.(this problem has no solution at this time) !!no add-ons from older versions are compatible!! Changes in 3.8 beta2 for ATS (v1.41x): revision and optimizations under 1.41.0.72s critical incompatibility of old versions of mod 3.7.x with the new build of the game ATS 1.41.0.69s due to changes in the game engine. the recently introduced realistically mixed trains were cut out, they are no longer readable by the game. elimination of the conflict with the new coal wagon added by SCS added a new cargo to the wagon platform added car models: box, dump and tank ported from ETS2 for a greater variety of rolling stock (car textures will be American but differ in size) return of the simultaneous appearance of two trains on multi-track railways locomotive with tail number 1943 from the Cheyenne Wyoming Railway Museum, added to some of Union Pacific’s scheduled trains. The sound bank has been rewritten, now the tonality of the sounds of the head locomotives (only the first locomotive) depends more on the position of their accelerator handle and not on the current speed. all the collisions of the railcar models (even the default ones) were reworked to avoid unnecessary calculations of the interaction of collisions with each other during the movement of invisible and not externally manifested mutual collisions that loaded the computing system with parasitic calculations. Fix for missing Trains and Trams in Denver Colorado. fixed all possible compatibility issues with maps of Mexico. the ratio of the number of regular trains in comparison with excursion and classic trains has been doubled (steam locomotives will become even rarer). railway traffic to Wyoming and Texas for the future is registered. (Wyoming has a lot of steam locomotives and coal cars; Texas has a lot of oil tanks). The train spawn fix no longer works in 1.41 so trains can spawn (but not disappearing) next to the player again. the update is incompatible with older versions of beta 1.41x than the one above ATS 1.41.0.69s.

Integrated addon ProMods Canada (third-party addon is no longer required and will not be updated + support for short and long train addons in Canada and Mexico) Many models of railway cars have been altered in order to optimize them. Added a backlit EOTD model to the back of the trains, replacing outdated Cabooses in modern trains (Cabooses are now only in classic and sightseeing trains). Replacing the texture paths of open cargoes that were previously used together (previously released optimized texture pack can be thrown out) Added files for regulating train traffic for individual states.

Changes in version 3.5 for ATS (v1.38x): release version for 1.38 improved all new special trains types reworked traffic density system for bigger radius of AI life, for long trains stable drive compatibility. Changes in version 3.4.1 for ATS (v1.37x): Files and settings that previously led to incompatibility with Cip traffic density mods were deleted. for the sake of compatibility, with the loss of realism. so that the trains do not disappear suddenly when used with the mod from Cip, use the add-on more frequent train density for this mod (it significantly reduces the traffic density, but ensures the stability of trains) Add raft of locomotive sections without rail cars, driving to another station or returning helpers, helpers may now be of a different company and model Changes in version 3.4 for ATS (v1.37x): Added realistic Train sounds in new FMOD Sound Bank format.
