- New raindrops and snowflakes textures
- Significantly increased number of particles on windows
- Improved physical behaviour of particles, now their spawn will be more affected by truck position relatively to rain inclination.
It makes a huge difference and vastly improve perception of weather! Just try it yourself!
- Reworked sound effects for wipers and rain
- New tire splash trails effect
- Rebalanced sound insulation for SCS and modded vehicles
- Fixed window masks for SCS vehicles to prevent particles from spawn outside window boundaries
Mod is updated to game version 1.62.
Let's start with larger changes.
1. Snowflakes addon is no longer supported, because the main mod already has snowflakes that will start to appear when in-game temperature drops below 0°C. The only downside is that the game does not have separate sound event for the snow, so it's completely silent, which is a shame. I know that it should be silent, but we can't even represent it as cold rain or add howl of a blizzard or just some wind.
2. Main mod is now separated into 2 versions. Their only difference is raindrops/snowflake particle size:
ATS version - 0.04-0.14
ETS2 version - 0.06-0.16
At the moment in both ATS/ETS2, the smaller the window, the higher particle density on it.
And because European trucks has larger windows, it creates an impression that they have less raindrops. So to slightly fix that, I've increased particle size for ETS2 just a bit.
Other than that both versions are absolutely identical except for this setting. You can use both of them with each game or to adjust any values yourself.
Other changes:
- Increased max_angle_cosine from 0.5 to 1.0 - it should reduce particle number on side windows
- Rebalanced cabin equalizer ("sound insulation" effect) and added support for Coaches DLCs
- Improved side window masks for all SCS vehicles except Coaches DLC
