Steering axles for 8×4 and 8×6 chassis

This mod turns stock SCS 8×4 and 8×6 axles into steering axles.
That increases the stability of the truck in bends at higher speeds.
Works on all trucks from SCS Software, with chassis 8×4 and 8×6.
Supported trucks:
International LoneStar – 8×4, 8×6 (6 chassis),
Kenworth W900 – 8×4 (2 chassis),
Peterbilt 389 – 8×4, 8×6 (4 chassis),
Volvo VNL – 8×4 (4 chassis)
WesternStar 49X – 8×4, 8×6 (12 chassis)

Game version: 1.40.x

Happy trucking !

Steering axles for 8×4 chassis [1.40.1]

The supporting lifting axle can also work as a rotary (steering) axle – when lifting, it is automatically installed (rotated) parallel to the truck frame.

Works on trucks from SCS Software, with chassis 8×4 (four axles) for:
International LoneStar – 6 chassis,
Kenworth W900 – 2 chassis

I recommend using single or wide-profile tires on this axle.

Tested on patch 1.40.1.0. Compatibility with other truck mods has not been tested, it may also work automatically on mod-models.

More Differential Ratios

This mod adds more differential ratios for original SCS transmissions in ATS.

Differential ratio is a number which means how many times slower the axle rotates than the cardan shaft. The more differential ratio is – the slower your truck goes at the same RPM.

I made bigger differential ratios for more realistic driving and better handling of heavy cargoes. The last differential, 4.11, should be enough for carrying ~100 ton trailers.

Starting from version 1.3 there are also lower differentials for faster and more fuel economic drive. But you should have a powerful engine for that – otherwise you may get stuck at high slopes!

The mod:
– does not replace anything, works as addon
– does not change gear names
– adds 2.16, 2.28, 2.47, 2.64, 2.85, 3.08, 3.25, 3.55, 3.73, 3.91 and 4.11 differentials for all vanilla transmissions
– has real differential ratio numbers
– works not only with Eaton 13 and 18 speeders, but with every transmission in the game including 10 speeders, Allison and 12 speeders
– has default prices and unlocks for all transmissions
– works with any version of the game
– works with any priority in mod manager

Currently supported truck mods:
– Kenworth T900 Legend
– Kenworth W900 Long (by richt05tv)
