Peterbilt 389 SCS version 2.0.25 for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (v1.54)

Peterbilt 389 Truck by SCS, adapted from ATS for ETS2
Sold at the mod brands dealer
All 6x4, 6x2 chassis and corresponding cabins are available, 5 engines, 11 gearboxes. All tuning options available from level zero and priced very reasonably.

Engines are fully tuned, with detailed torque curves, engine braking RPMs, and power modes specified; engine sounds by Robinicus (FMOD); fuel consumption reduced (you can floor the accelerator pedal with an average consumption of 30 liters per 100 km at high RPMs when realistic fuel consumption mode is enabled).

Chassis and cabin collision modified for trouble-free off-road driving, without getting stuck or taking damage (at reasonable speeds).

The video shows the purchase and capabilities of the truck on roads with various surfaces, tested on the latest version of RusMap, using a Logitech G27 steering wheel; adaptive automatic gearbox in normal mode and automatic engine braking selected in settings.

Version 2.0.25 for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (v1.54):

- Engine sounds have changed, now they are from SlavJerry;
- The ability to install mirrors on the hood and clearance flag markers has been removed, the markers themselves have been removed as well, so no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to crash to desktop this way;
- Added 6x6 chassis, medium and long, supporting advanced coupling. Since the suspension of the 6x6 chassis is higher than usual, for advanced coupling you will need to lower it to the very bottom position. The 6x6 chassis have three variants from low to high, so there are a total of 6 all-wheel-drive chassis options. Due to the suspension specifics, the truck handles bumps very smoothly, but there is lateral and longitudinal sway (especially with 100% road surface bump simulation enabled in settings). The truck leans in turns, but you get used to it quickly. For the highest suspension variants, the maximum comfortable speed is 100 km/h, although I do not recommend taking hairpin turns at such speeds because you will definitely tip over, but regular turns at that speed are handled quite confidently. For the lowest 6x6 suspension variant, the maximum comfortable speed is 110-120 km/h (this naturally applies to the medium suspension position). In general, whoever uses this chassis type will figure out what’s what. Almost forgot: when using the 6x6 chassis, regular paint jobs will be unavailable, but you can paint the truck in metallic or combined liveries without any problems;
- Collision is now standard, but when using the aforementioned all-wheel-drive chassis, this is no longer an issue off-road;
- Optionally, you can install a gear lever inside the cabin;
- For the low sleeper cab, a new interior plus a steering wheel have been added. I couldn’t create a proper external camera view for this cabin, so I simply tinted all the cabin glass, but from the inside the glass remains fully transparent;
- The truck has very good low and high beam lights, so no matter how dark the night is, the road will be perfectly visible;
- Axle specifications are taken from official manufacturer resources, the same applies to engines and transmissions. For example, for the all-wheel drive, the following data is used: front driven steer axle Meritor Front Drive Steer Axle MX-21-160, tandem rear drive axles Meritor Tandem Rear Drive Axles RT-46-160;
- The truck is available in agency orders, and I deliberately assigned various types of 6x6 chassis to trucks from different companies, since everyone has already driven the regular chassis a million times. It is purchased from the modification brand dealers. The price is default, meaning high. Purchase is available from level 23;
- Added PACCAR TX-18 PRO transmission. The final drive ratios of the driven axles are selected based on official data for PACCAR Tandem Rear Drive Axles DX-40. For greater immersion, I recommend using this transmission with PACCAR engines;
- If you want to match transmissions exactly to engines, you should know some features of Eaton transmission markings. For example, the first digits 18 in the Eaton Fuller FRO-18210C transmission mean the maximum input torque should not exceed 1850 lb-ft or 2508 Nm, so in reality no one would pair an Eaton Fuller FRO-18210C with a "Caterpillar C15 625, King of the hill" engine, as the transmission would simply fail. However, in the game this aspect is not implemented and is more of a personal choice and not mandatory;
- The mod is not locked, you can modify it as you wish. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is changing the suspension travel settings of the all-wheel-drive chassis solely in text files; to avoid breaking anything, you will also need to adjust the wheel mounting height in Blender.
