Angus ’Better Cars [ABC] v12/06/18
This mod changes trucks, tractors and game cars. Basically, the light, fuel tanks, add-ons, torques, friction and weight of tires were changed.
Lighting:
Made some existing lights more visible, and some lights glow constantly. Many lighthouses have been added, for example, missed lighthouses on a usa-fuel-trailer trailer. Added lights on the crane loader and a lot more for aesthetics.
Fuel:
Changed fuel capacity.
Addons:
Added more features for all trucks, trying to minimize the problem of choosing different add-ons. Be careful, not all trucks will work well with some of the add-ons.
Torques (Engine Power):
Changed for real values (or close to them). Now the trucks have more torque.
Friction:
Tires and tire weights are calculated from the width and radius of each tire. Worn or outdoor tire profiles (for example, Kamaz tires or Maz538 tires) result in lower values.
General gameplay:
Now you will feel the differences, especially the overall performance, between trucks. Since increased wheel friction leads to higher fuel consumption, fuel consumption and fueling will be a more important problem during exploration and transportation. Rating stars are selected based on the overall utility of each truck. For example. The K700 is quite powerful, but does not have a trailer, so there is a very limited utility: collecting logs and saving vehicles. This leads to a 2-star rating. The K8400 is slightly less powerful than the K700, but has a trailer that provides a much higher overall utility, resulting in a 3-star rating.
This mod is not for hardcore fans and does not pretend to be realistic.
