Multiple Trailers in Traffic - ATS - v1.49.1

[Mr Larrington]

@KrysEmlyn, thanks for that. As far as I can tell potatoes is the only cargo affected but I've have a closer look tomorrow.

Heavy Cargo DLC trailers are far too common, and TP doubles are extremely rare. I drove all the way through Nevada and saw 1 TP double total; meanwhile, I was passing several articulated lowboys every minute. This is in the daytime, with cip's traffic mod. I tried fiddling with the definitions, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Haven't done any "real" testing, so this may be a conflict.

[Mr Larrington]

@yaumeister I owe you an apology - some of the modified cargo files using containers were indeed b0rked due to teh Stupidz on my part. This has been fixed in the new version - see first page for links.

New version adds Turnpike doubles in Colorado, which I didn't notice were a thing before, and does some tweaks and fixes to the cargo stuff. And now I'm off to sit in the fridge for a couple of hours.

does this work for update 1.41?

[Mr Larrington]

Marvellous timing by SCS to release ATS v1.42 the very day that this Unit had his first trip out for live music since March last year and also immediately prior to the extension to London's Ultra-Low Emissions Zone, which means I needed to have a working bicycle as Larrington Towers is inside the new zone and my 13 year old diesel car will attract a charge of £12.50 a day if I actually use it. Also the mods have been substantially reworked, and there's a new one with traffic versions of the Volvo Construction Equipment DLC trailers/cargo. See first post for full details and download link.

1 question

Is it possible to have the triples and turnpike doubles in every state or it is not possible

[Mr Larrington]

@vexh; if you're using Windows you can unzip the main ATS_multiple_trailers_in_traffic_Base mid, navigate to /def/country and double-click everywhere.bat, then rezip the mod and copy it into your mods folder. That'll give you triples, turnpike doubles and Rocky Mountain doubles in all states and provinces. If you need some other combination or if you're not using Windows it's probably easiest to copy the appropriate files - traffic.wbx_pup_triple.sii / traffic.wbx_rm_double.sii / traffic.wbx_tp_double.sii - from a state where they're already allowed by default, then rezip and copy the mod as above.

[Mr Larrington]

Mantrid has changed the internal name for Montana from "montana" to "montan" hence an update was needed. Please see first post for details.

Edit: Bah! He's changed North Dakota as well. Give me a few minutes to fix the fix, eh...

Edit 2: New version uploaded, old version deleted, link in first post updated!

Edit 3: Actually North Dakota wasn't Mantrid, it was the Discover Ontario mod, but the latest version has old and new names for both states so it should still work OK.

My Discover Ontario. Sorry new to Mapping.

North Dakota, and Montana (spell ?) may have been added when I tried to add Canadream, do ask how,
I have now removed for the next revision, I hope this will be easer going foward.

Every time I try to add Canadream I get errors in map, editor (prefabs missing). Do not think I try again, give me a headache.

[Mr Larrington]

@Attom "ndakot" also appears in the Montana Expansion mod, which I hadn't downloaded until just now...
