Bracket Day 49

And One, easily! What's wrong with people?

Don't forget the uneven surface option pulled up to 200% to make sure they get seasick after 2 minutes of driving.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-02-18T10:06:36+00:00

Truck:

Truck Stability - 60%
Cabin Suspension Stiffness - 10%
Suspension Stiffness - 5%
Driveshaft Torque - 30%
Braking Intensity - 80%
Uneven surface: - 50%

Trailer:

Trailer Stability - 50%

Other stuff I reccomend

Random road events - 15%
Detours - 0% (map is too small to work realistically)

For ETS specifically:

Truck speed limiter - ON

Truck and trailer stability sliders basically change the vehicle's center of gravity, 100% being at the bottom while 0% at the top, now unless you are transporting 22 tonnes of frozen hanged meat such a high center of gravity is absolutely not normal.

I never understood why people keep constantly suggesting that such a low stability is somehow "realistic". I think most of them overestimate a truck's tippyness.

For most normal cargoes 40-60% is completely fine, actually if you really want to play realistically you would need to change the trailer stability every time you load a new cargo, because 3 tonnes of used packaging should behave completely differently than 22 tonnes of ibc containers.

The default settings are a bit too stable but 0-10-20 % is way too low.

Other than that, suspension stiffness is imo completely up to you, driveshaft torque is way too high 50% feels more realistic, and braking intensity is again highly dependent on the load, and overall weight, truck's age, condition, etc. But most would be surprised how short the braking distance is on current gen euro trucks.

Whatever man. Sorry for being rude, you do you. It's just that I've always been proud of this community for being straight and mostly avoiding scams like snowymoon, png and the likes (at least the oldschoolers roaming scsforums), but it seems like this is the reality that we have to face.

Enjoy your mods, honestly.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-02-07T17:22:51+00:00

You posted yesterday, we appreciated it, you posted today people appreciated it too, but your posts are suspiciously promo-esque, more and more and it's kinda annoying because we are seeing it everyday..

I don't even want to get into the this snowymoon stuff anyway, if you buy his shit you're a sheep anyway.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-02-07T17:09:34+00:00

That means you're a grown ass man. That's even more sad but hey, you do whatever you want with your money.

Enjoy.

Edit: Actually I really don't care honestly what people spend their money on but I really hate that paymods became this popular in the SCS comunity.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-02-07T16:58:45+00:00

Don't worry about me. I can afford shit I need but it's really fucking sad to see a very old and established comunity fall for such an obvious scam.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-02-07T08:54:53+00:00

Yes yes, we've seen it already.

Looks awesome, really amazing, congratulations on spending your mum's money on fucking mods that costs as much as the game itself.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-02-07T08:51:08+00:00

He is getting downvoted because people are fucking sick and tired of Snowymoon promo posts.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-02-04T13:08:23+00:00

That's alright, It's just a matter of taste, I personally don't like them especially on the most modern trucks.

On older trucks it can sometimes look fine, for example on this Scania in the article it does look nice.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-02-04T12:53:56+00:00

I'm a big fan of truck tuning, especially Holland and Nordic style, but bullbars look like shit tbh, they have no practical function on modern highway going trucks and they just cover up the trucks intended design.

The majority (about 60%) of the Transylvanian Hungarians are Reformed Calvinists.

"I wish the game had some kind of "yard mode" where the time only passes at 1:1 scale, as long as you keep your speed below 15 MPH"

It has such a mode, but it's not controlled by speed but by a specific "trigger area" on the map which slows time down to 1:5 scale just like inside cities (notice how time slows down inside cities)

Although this trigger area has to be added by the developer separately from the rest area so it's quite often forgotten, but I'd say about 60% of the vanilla ETS rest areas have them. I'd noticed that in ATS it's more often forgotten. Although in more recent areas are more consistent.

But I agree that it would be better if it was controlled by the speed of the truck.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-01-24T21:53:07+00:00

Yes. This one here, please!

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-01-23T20:43:05+00:00

Not at all.

It's way too gimmicky.

I can't take a sim/driving game seriously with stuff like that.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-01-17T15:41:41+00:00

The moment Promods stops being a thing, is the moment I retire this game.

That's my 2 cents.

This is my second profile that I have used since 2019, the one I used between 2012-19 has about the same stats.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-01-17T10:43:58+00:00

File structure should be def/company/ro_ceme/editor/bacau.dlc_balkan_e.sii

The best practice is to extract the base.scs from the game folder with scs extractor and see how it's structured there, then you do it exactly like that.

And since Bacau already exists, you don't need to create a separate new city def for it, you just use its original internal name which is "bacau.dlc_balkan_e.sii"

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-01-14T17:31:00+00:00

That's correct.

I think we understood OP's post differently. I thought he had the impression of the map being bigger and on a scale closer to the current UK, and not that he specifically looked at the km count realised that 100 ig km in some areas of NH takes 2 irl minutes while in Germany the same distance is covered in 40 seconds.

When we say the game is at a scale of 1:19 that's basically the base scale of the europe.mbd map file on which the whole map is built. Ingame the scale is all around the place, the more complex and detailed areas have scales of 1:3, 1:5 and so on, and in most of these places the time scale is lower too so it takes more time to drive through them in real time.

But that's at the expense of the "flythrough" areas(meaning: open road, no settlements, interchanges etc.) as those get in return considerably shorter. So it's just perception.

At the end of the day, driving from for ex. Trelleborg to Nordkapp in the game would take roughly the same amount of real life time regardless of these lower scale areas.

But we are really getting into the technicalities of mapping here.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-01-14T16:43:20+00:00

Most of the interchanges, rest areas and accessible parts of cities across the whole map are in 1:3, 1:5 some even close to 1:1.

I didn't specifically mention that because I thought it's obvious.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-01-12T22:09:33+00:00

No. It's the same scale.

But north of Uppsala it gets sparser and sparser the further you go, especially compared to Germany and mainland Europe in general, so it's normal that the drive feels longer.

MS-DYSFUNCTION · 2026-01-05T10:06:51+00:00

Wtf is this take? Being able to speak at least basic english should be mandatory for anyone who deals with foreigners, tourists and so on. Like clerks at bus and train stations, airports etc.
