New in 3.8:
– Fixed dashboard for ATS 1.44/1.45
– New (automated) 2022 Eaton Endurant XD Pro 18/6 Transmission coming with different gear ratios
– Some build-in parts animations updated, some parts reworked, did some stuff from here to there.
– Added custom engines (MX13-510, C18-800, C16-690SP classic, C16-690 custom, ISX-15 685 custom)
– Speed limited to 70 mph instead of 65 mph (that’s more realistic).
– Mirror view improved, better field of view, realistic view at night.
– All engine and transmissions specs are real life, but partly adapted to game needs. Some older sound banks were remastered slightly because of FMOD needs. Tried to create some cool engine sounds, which increase the fun factor in game in best case.

This last version replaces and contains all former existing versions / fixes / upgrades:
Original mod: Version 3.4 by Big Bob and many others, last edited by vasja555
Patch to 1.40 by Giovanni Battiston
Patch to 1.40 Rev. A by kenworth_john
Patch to 1.40 Rev. B by kenworth_john
Version 3.5.1 with Cat C-16 by kenworth_john
Version 3.5.2 with Detroit Diesel dd16 DDEC
Changes in 3.6:
– minor changes to the original mod, mainly just fixes of some errors
– added missing files, textures, materials, icons
– added some eaton transmissions and differential ratios
– added some cummins-isx15 engines, tuned w real life specs, “magnum tuning”
– added mx-13 reworked, sound reworked
– added warning lights for truck
– fixed/adapted interior lights, blue, red, white,
green, pink, orange, purple. choose in beacons and turn on/off with “o” (beacons)
Backside of cabin is not configured properly. So some lights go through.
Choose a rack to hide this effect.
– fixed second front mirrors, updated mirror view
– updated physics of warning/oversize flags, fixed oversize load signs
– added different SCS in-game paintjobs
– added some pipes for the truck
– again: finally fixed some sounds, wipers, windows, and so on
For the lovers of the SCS ATS Forrest Machinery DLC:
– added headache racks from SCS forrester DLC + toyhang ‘chainsaw’ w physics
– The headache racks were made by SCS and part of the forrester DLC (buy it!).
The DLC does not connect with this truck mod. Therefore I added the parts.
– The warning lights werde made by SCS and also part of the game.
– I used sounds which were part of this mod or added by someone else.
The added engines/transmissions were made by me.
Real life based, adapted to game, careful tested torque curves for best experience.
Pro tip: Choose ISX-15 Magnum/v2 w Eaton 13+1-speed w ret. in 4.10 diff.ratio.
try ‘shifting’ and ‘automatic’ with ‘adaptive automatic disabled’, what u like best.
–Transmission and engine mods will not work on this mod! tried to fix, but it was not possible.–

NOTE: this comment is for the KENWORTH W900L BIG BOB 3.8 (ATS 1.45) version
Tried this mod and found it wanting.
The dark rear-view mirror bug from ATS v1.40 is present in this mod. Not only does that bug makes everything difficult to see anything at night, the tinted windows makes this truck undrivable after sundown. Combine that with a lack of soundproofing (unless you love 158 dB’s of engine noise in your cabin) and the fact there’s tons of unused parts data from other truck mods which has bloated the download size of this .scs file.
I love the W900, but was disappointed in this iteration of this all-time classic truck. I will come back whenever the mod author stops kicking the can down the road when they actually updates their work and deletes all the unnecessary garbage that’s packed inside the file.
Looks: 5/5
Customization: 5/5
Sound: 1/5 – (for the love of hearing conservation, soundproof your truck–https://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=306500&hilit=sound)
Drivability: 1/5 (window tinting should be and option when building, and fix that mirror bug — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqEW22zEyfM)
