The modification brings the behavior of the truck and trailer to realistic (as far as the game engine allows). The changes affected the physical properties of the chassis suspension of the truck and trailer, as well as pneumatic seats (rocking chamber), brakes and transmission.

Truck compatibility: all default trucks, as well as support for mod trucks in separate DLCs (more than 20):

This modification makes truck behavior to feel more realistic with Steering Wheel or Keyboard. This mode have “Realistic Steering with Keyboard” included. It allows you to make smooth turns on high speed without overturn the truck even if you use realistic suspension settings, in this case “Dynamic Suspension”.

The steering become harder when switching direction and increasing speed. It is less harder when is stationary, ideal for parking!

Aswell, braking is a important factor in simulation and also I made some improvements, helping keyboard users also. Now braking is progressive and not so brutal as the default. You will have to use more often the retarder or engine brake.

—————————————————————————————————————–

Patch compatibility: 1.40.x;

Connection order: This mod should be set at high priority / above other physics mod!

Mod compatibility: This mod should work with all default trucks and the modded ones!

Note: If those values isn’t proper for yourself, feel free to change them.
Note*: Write above setting in console (~) after load the profile.
Note**: Lower value means more realistic behavior but high risk of overturn

—————————————————————————————————————–

Long time since a new update, huh? It’s time for some improvements. Here it is a changelog:

Changelog 2.1.0:

Truck behavior:
– Reduced brake strength at lower speed

– Increased front brakes strength

– Softened cabin suspension damping

– Increased anti-roll/sway-bar stiffness

– Increased coefficients related to wheel slipping (better grip when raining)

Driver behavior:
– Reduced driver leaning

– Reduced driver pitch forward

– Reduced driver-seat restitution coeficient

– Increased driver height stiffness

Add-ons:
– Fixed error/possible crash with Peterbilt 389 Viper2

That’s all for now. :D If something isn’t working properly, let me know. I hope you enjoy it!

Now all freight trains are drived by more locomotives, from 2 to 5 coupled head DMUs and some additional in the mid and(or) the tail of the trains.
The length of trains has been changed, passenger: 3-15 railcars (20 for Autotrains). freight: 15-60 railcars(up to 150 with addon), depending on the number of sections and type of locomotives.
Added realistic train sounds in new FMOD Sound Bank format.
All passenger trains added a reverse section locomotive.
also increased stopping distance for the all trains and added a miscalculation of their real mass by the game for greater realism of their acceleration dynamics and behavior on descents and ascents. accordingly, for each raft, the power is set as a multiple of the power of all its locomotives (not everywhere).

Changes in 3.7.3 for ATS (v1.40x):
Add Union Pacific painted EMD SD40-2 locomotives
Add yellow tender cistern for Big Boy

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.
Returned Napa Valley Wine Train, California only.
Added a covered freight car with illegal extremal passengers.(urgent request not to repeat this in reality)
Cleaning the mod from obsolete unused .mat files

PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL ANY REAL COMPANIES AND OTHER HIGH QUALITY TEXTURES PACKS ABOVE MY MOD IN LOAD ORDER, IT WILL RUINED ALL TRAINS TEXTURES OPTIMIZATION
This mod must be placed above any other third party mods that affect the trains, except for my own addons.
The mod does not support versions of game older than (1.40).

Please check before activation:
it is recommended to add this line: -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000
to the properties of the game launch in Steam (or in desktop shortcut for nonsteam version) for better memory optimization and preventing game crashes with using alot of mods.
In Game:
For this mod are not recommended increase the settings “g_lod_factor_traffic” and “g_traffic” higher than value 1.0 or possible bugs and drawdowns FPS

1.1
Only for the mod «Improved trains» v3.7.3 and newer.

Citation from SCS forum about «Improved Trains» mod:

“Do the trains spawn in and out of the scene correctly now?
This is the main reason I stopped using it.
It blinks out of the scene and breaks immersion for me.”

WITH THIS ADDON ALL IN-OUT TRAINS SPAWN OPERATIONS ON THE SCENE WILL BE CORRECTLY!
Included long trains Spawn fix with increased spawn density compensation file.
traffic distribution may differ from the original, but who cares? we installed it for trains, not traffic ;-)
!!ADDON ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY TRAFFIC DENSITY MODS!!
installing an addon above of traffic density mods will cause the game to crash, installing traffic density mods above of this addon will make it inoperable.

Please check before activation:
it is recommended to add this line: -mm_max_tmp_buffers_size 1000
to the properties of the game launch in Steam
In game:
addon should only be used with g_traffic 1.0 and g_lod_factor_traffic 1.0
settings
any increase will lead to a drop in game performance.

DO NOT USE “g_traffic” COMMANDS. THESE COMMANDS MAKE TRAINS UNBEARABLE FREQUENT

Addon must be placed in highest priority above the «Improved trains» mod, its installation with other addons does not make sense, since it is already included in the Long trains addon in full, incompatible with real traffic from Cip and other similar mods and does not make sense when installing the Short trains addon, short trains run normally without it.

Enjoy it and Have Fun with immersion!

Thanks Cipinho and Todor Alin for information about hidden settings prism3d game engine

experimental features have been added to the addon.
Please report any changes you have noticed or problems that have arisen that were not present in previous versions of the add-on.
your feedback is very important

P.S. This addon is written specifically for railfans for whom trains are very important in the surrounding world of the game, and does not take into account the interests of fans of realistic traffic, if realistic traffic is more important for you than trains in the game, please do not turn on this addon and use suddenly disappearing and appearing trains for the sake of correct traffic

for those who download and install all add-ons in a row without understanding why it is needed and how it works and then writes claims of insults in reviews accusing the main mod of wrong work.

if you get a burning sensation in the ass, a burst of rage, a brain explosion, an explosion of the butt, after installing and using this add-on, immediately remove it from your hard drive and consult a doctor to heal your nerves. and do not disturb the author with your claims, the author knows that the addon is not perfect.
