What this mod does
ETS2 Physics Mod by maxx2504 changes the physics of every truck in Euro Truck Simulator 2, both SCS and modded ones, because it modifies a global file. The author made it for himself and a small community, and posted it on the Workshop because of its popularity. There’s also an ATS version.
What it changes
- Steering sensitivity multipliers, for wheel or controller only.
- Braking curve, brake torque and brake temperature.
- Cab suspension travel and damping, with cab weight raised to 1,200 kg.
- Redesigned truck suspension.
- Engine and clutch viscosity, and interior camera movement.
The settings screenshot on the page is just an example: according to the author, it works with any setup.
Version
The current version is 1.602, for ETS2 1.60, and the package includes an older version for 1.57. The author doesn’t support betas.
Things to know
Give it high priority in the Mod Manager. It may not work well with American trucks because of the cab movement, and the author warns that it isn’t meant for racing-game-style driving: it reflects his personal taste.
