American Truck Simulator 1823

The developers have released patch 1.38 for American Truck Simulator. Soon, the new Idaho DLC will also be released. In patch 1.38, the developers addressed various aspects of the game.

The city of Las Vegas has been significantly changed. The city underwent reconstruction. Intersections (interstate) have been updated. Textures have been reworked, vegetation added, beautiful landscapes, and much more. And this is not the full list of changes for this city.

But besides cities, parking lots/fuel stations were also reworked. Fuel stations in American Truck Simulator now have lanes with the proper width so trucks can refuel. So-called "navigation lines" have been implemented, which greatly help truck drivers avoid damage when entering and exiting. Also, a new fuel station has been added, located on the US-111 road.

The shadow system has been significantly improved. Now, so-called SSAO is used. This mode dynamically creates shadows in areas where there were none before. This option can be enabled in the game settings.

Since this update heavily affected the game's graphics, weaker computers may experience severe performance issues. After the new update, even small vehicles can cause performance drops, so it is recommended to select the correct scaling option in the settings and reduce the impact of SSAO. SSAO – Screen Space Ambient Occlusion. You can choose the SSAO quality there. The lower it is, the better the performance. You can also completely disable this effect there.
Additionally, a new feature has been added to the game that allows you to paint your purchased truck using various codes. That is, enter a code – get color schemes. HSV, RGB, and HEX codes are supported. The update is called RGB Color Picker. And now, the list of changes.

Are you not afraid of trains?
This mod will make you afraid!
Cunning trains will appear everywhere!
Yes! Yes!
They have learned to drive on roads, with only one purpose: to smash, break, and crush everything that gets under their wheels.
Now you will often look around, check your mirrors, and flinch at every loud horn blast,
because the evil train has already gained speed to deal with you!!

MOD FOR FUN ONLY!
Recommended for: schoolchildren, racing and GTA fans, lovers of road chaos and crashes, adrenaline junkies, and simply fans of extreme challenges in the game.

Not recommended for: those who like to relax playing the game leaning back in a chair with a beer, hardened, rigid, humorless players, fans of ultra-realism who forgot this is just a game, and mentally unstable individuals.

REQUIRED MODS FOR OPERATION: Enhanced Trains 3.8 and Update Patch 1.43.1
Can be used together with: Real Traffic Density and its compatibility addon
Also recommended: Short Trains Addon (to improve frame rates)

NOT RECOMMENDED OR INCOMPATIBLE WITH: Long Trains Addon, Brutal Traffic, Hyper Traffic, and other mods causing severe traffic jams (will cause frame rate drops)

The mod requires good gaming hardware.
In the mod manager, place it above the Enhanced Trains mod and other addons.
This mod was created not for serious freight hauling or career progression but simply for fun.

Thanks to SCS.

- Updated for 1.46;
- Integrated new wagons from SCS.
Addon for the mod "Enhanced Trains". Created for players who are not satisfied with the overly long trains in the main "Enhanced Trains" mod, or who experience significant performance drops when encountering long trains in the game.

All freight trains are limited to a length of no more than 30 cars, which is half the length of the main mod but still significantly longer than the standard in-game trains, allowing for a more realistic experience than playing without mods. The addon is not compatible with the parallel addon for long trains. Use only with the specified game version and main mod.

Place directly above the main mod. Other addons can be placed above this one.

Read carefully.
The fix is intended for the mod called "Daimler Freightliner Inspiration".
The fix restores sounds for the Cummins ISX15 and D13Cxxx E5 engines – they are borrowed from the original Volvo VNL by SCS. The other engines are left untouched, as adapting sounds through FMOD Studio takes a lot of time and is not justified for a third-party fix.
Mirror animation is present both inside the cabin and outside. The original mod author added the ability to tint windows in different colors, but this mechanic did not take into account the future possibility of opening windows. So if you decide to tint the windows, you will not see the window opening animation from the outside. The mod was tested in ATS version 1.38. In theory, it will also work in ETS2.
