Kenworth T800 v2.2 Final + Review

But not with the T800! 🙂 I had that yesterday on a moderate offroad path. To put it in british terms, you may find your fun slightly disturbed when the drive axes’ grip becomes suboptimal because your chassis takes some mud samples.

Now that’s some comfort. So I’m not the only one with a prehistoric computer. I usually turn shadows (very reluctantly) and grass off, but run high textures, ultra weather and high reflections. I have learned to live with the fact that in some areas, I will have CTD’s due to OOM. On the other hand I have 4 JazzyCat Traffic packs and the russian one from Goba running at the same time. Just too sweet to turn off. I just realized, I still encounter trucks and cars that I haven’t seen before, though I run these packs for weeks. I relieved the situation with that traffic mod I published (advertising! advertising! Go, get it!!), running my traffic density at 20X20 or 25X25. I also do quick saves rather frequently, that’s why I asigned a button to my gamepad for it.

Well, red lights: As far as I understand it at this time, it works a little like my traffic mod: While a light in the body shop defines a singular part for your truck, the author may alos out in a global file to define how lights in general shoud be displayed. While JazzyCat’S traffic packs, define the trucks and cars you see, my density mod is global, for it defiens how many and what type (car vs truck) you see, no matter what traffic packs are installed. SO it has a global effect.

When somebody globally defines the depiction of, say, red lights, he might cause that it looks nice on his mods but bad on others. Some definitions, if you have a bunch of mods, rule each other out or overide one another. The sim loads mods from top of the list to bottom of the list, and like in the army, last order counts.

Sometimes, the problem is simply that an author used an already existing name for a new item (talking about names within definition files), which sometimes can be spotted in the game log, when ETS2 get’s angry about it.

Mods that define light in general, like the AI-lights mod and some weather mods also can cause sideeffects like this, because they with the depiction of light or even bring new stes of textures for it that will not be suitable for each and every mod.

And sometimes, it’s plain and simple an error, a flawed mod part, like these left turning lights on Ohaha’s F16, our outdated, because designed for a prior ETS2 version.. In that case, once you can’t correct the situation, you just leave out the part. I put some cateyes there which look exactly the same.

I take it we are not talking about a traffic light that has temporarily or permanently been shut off? These things exist even in ETS2, and they are not announced by blinking yellow lights in all countries. Even here in (real life) Germany, I saw both variants.

By “narrowed down to red lights” (the bumper markers has a red one on top), I ment that in the body shop (if this is a case of conflicting truck mods) we can concentrate on accessories that emitt red light. You may have a truck in there which has a red lighted accessory which causes the mess, no ned to check for cateyes or white light sources.

However, as things are after you put the truck on the very bottom, I’d rather tend to suspect a conflict on te global level. In that case, as I said, you may be lucky or the problem will a hount you again… But as we say in Germany, no need to cry out before it hurts…
