This is the second air seat in the B series. This particular B2 previously served as the exclusive air seat for my Physics 7 mod before I decided to remove Physics 7, because starting with game patch 1.35, new physics sliders were introduced in the game options, allowing the player to adjust physics to achieve the same or similar results as any physics mod. Therefore, I feel that physics mods are no longer necessary for ETS2 and ATS. However, seat mods remain important.

With the departure of Physics 7, some players still miss the exclusive air seat. So I took the seat from Physics 7 and repackaged it as a separate mod as the second edition of the Air Ride B series. So here is Air Ride B2.

As the name suggests, it is very similar to its older sister, the first Air Ride B. But this younger sister B2 tends to bounce less than her older sister. You should try to compare which sister you like more. If you love them both and can’t choose between them, you can use both, but only one at a time.

Compatible with all trucks, should be placed above trucks.
Compatible with physics mods, should be placed above physics mods.
Game patch 1.35 compatible
You must enable camera physics in the game options and move its slider to the maximum.

Tired of flat and simple driving? Want to feel the control of a real heavy truck?
Now every "truck driver's" dream is finally coming true.

In real life, when you buy a modern truck, you are given the option to choose whether your truck comes with a conventional suspension or an air suspension. However, not all chassis types are suitable for air suspension. Manufacturers will only recommend it for certain chassis types.

Similar to real life, this mod provides you with new additional standalone chassis that come with air suspension to choose from. It does nothing but make your front and rear suspension softer than vanilla for those of you who want a smooth ride. The tilt may not look realistic from the outside, but it significantly increases the likelihood of up-and-down movement observed inside the cabin.

Currently available:
Air Suspension 4x2 Renault T
Air Suspension 4x2 DAF XF Euro 6

Game settings:
Truck stability 25%
Cabin suspension 0%
Truck suspension 0%
Camera physics: enabled and max

Why do you need this mod?

1. Steering:

Real-life steering (According to Scania R 2012 production data)
- 4.9 turns lock-to-lock (1764 degrees)
- 12.8 meter turning radius.
- Steering ratio 46:1 (You need to turn the steering wheel 46 degrees for the wheel to turn 1 degree).

In-game steering
- 2.5 turns lock-to-lock (900 degrees)
- 8.5 meter radius
- Steering ratio 23:1 (You need to turn the steering wheel 23 degrees for the wheel to turn 1 degree).

With this mod
- Steering ratio 36:1 (brings you closer to a real truck).

2. Braking:

Real-life braking
When lightly pressing the brake pedal, speed decreases slowly, not abruptly. And if you’re driving a heavy truck, you know it takes time and space to come to a full stop.

In-game braking
The truck stops abruptly regardless of your speed, as if there is no physics at all.

With this mod
The brake now behaves more realistically.

3. Cabin:

In-game cabin
It sways too sensitively side to side; even a slight turn of the steering wheel can cause the cabin to oscillate.

With this mod
The cabin is now more stable in lateral movement but does not affect forward tilt.

SENSITIVITY / NONLINEARITY SETTINGS
You need to test and readjust the sensitivity and nonlinearity sliders to find your preferred values.
But the recommended settings are 100% sensitivity and 100% nonlinearity.
Braking intensity 30 - 50%

COMPATIBILITY
1. Compatible with 1.35, 1.36
2. Compatible with all standard and mod trucks.
3. Must be placed above any truck mods and any mods using the physics file.
4. NOT compatible with any other physics mods.
5. Compatible with the Air Ride mod.

WARNING
It will take some time to get used to the new steering feel, especially if you have never driven a car in real life before. But if you regularly drive a car in real life, you should immediately get familiar with it because it is very close to a real vehicle. Your truck will need a bit more space to make turns. But you will enjoy its realism once you get used to it.

New realistic sounds for Renault Range T and T Evo

Features
The overall sound amplitude has changed
Bass has been reduced
Subwoofer sound intensity has improved
Residual sound has been eliminated
Several other adjustments have been made

This mod strives to be as accurate as the game allows, without crazy shaking or exaggerated movements, without unrealistic weight increase, without unnecessary changes. Every change in this mod matters and serves a real purpose. What SCS has already done well remains untouched.

Features:

- Realistic braking – it will no longer suddenly stop your truck (provided recommended settings are followed), now you can smoothly stop your truck without spilling coffee on the dashboard and it won’t let your truck lose control.
- No more crazy shaking cabin. This mod makes the cabin respond more from the front and less from the side. As a result, the cabin now rocks 2-3 times when you stop the truck, but it will no longer sway sideways when you turn the wheel just 10 degrees at low speed. It will only rock when necessary.
- The cabin no longer jerks with every slight press of the gas. But it will rock under strong acceleration.
- This mod also includes its own seat movement.

Before using the mod, set the in-game settings as shown in the screenshot below.

For wheel users, it is recommended to replace the corresponding lines in the file C:\Users\X\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\profiles\X\controls.sii with the following:

config_lines[35]: "constant c_rsteersens 0.50000"
config_lines[36]: "constant c_asteersens 2.50000"
