- The mod has been restored and updated to version 1.44;
- Hidden Russian wagons from the "Heart of Russia" DLC have been activated;
- Container wagons have been separated into a distinct class and are not mixed with other wagons;
- Removed all locomotives from the middle of trains.
This is the ETS2 adaptation of my mod for American
improved trains from American Truck Simulator. It adds American (and not only) trains to ETS2. The mod will work with all third-party maps. This mod does not replace or cancel European trains (except for flatcars and container carriers), it only adds new American ones.
- Classic diesel and steam locomotives, cars, and cabooses for excursion trains have been added;
- Diesel locomotives and cars have skins with real company names and unique serial numbers;
- All freight trains are operated by paired locomotives from 2 to 5 head units and several additional pushers in the middle and/or end of the train;
- Lengths have been changed: passenger trains 3-15 cars (20 for Autotrain), freight trains 15-60 cars (up to 150 with the long trains add-on).
Length depends on the number of units and type of locomotives;
- Realistic train sounds in the new FMOD Soundbank format have been added;
- All passenger trains have been given reverse locomotive units;
- The braking distance has been increased for all trains and their real mass is calculated by the game for greater realism, acceleration dynamics, and behavior on descents and climbs. Accordingly, each consist is assigned power proportional to the combined power of all its locomotives (not everywhere).
Version 3.9 for ETS2 (v1.44):
Long Trains Add-on Up to 150 Cars
Attention!
Distribution on other sites is allowed only if the original author’s link is preserved (look for the author’s nickname "powerfull" on the file hosting page before downloading). The functionality of any copies reuploaded by third parties is not guaranteed. Other file hosts are not supported by the author.
The mod is packed in a special archive; any repacking will cause errors and bugs. Please do not place real company mods or other high-resolution texture packs above my mod, as this may replace the optimized car textures.
This mod version does not support game versions older than (1.44). For older game versions, see the Previous Versions tab.
The presence or absence of any DLC does not affect the mod’s functionality. The mod should not conflict with mods that change the length of European trains; however, if such mods are loaded above mine in the load order, my sounds for freight cars may disappear and default game sounds will return.
Please remove all outdated versions and add-ons from the "mod" folder when installing this update.
Add-ons from the similar ATS mod are not compatible here as they will cause some train types to disappear from the game.
