[DISC] Volvo VNL 2018 fix

[TomDooley]

An engine or transmission in the sense of ATS is purely a definition file. LIke all of these, they have a header line indicating what truck it is used for: 10digit_name.truck.model.parttype e.g. D13_500.Volvo.VNL.engine

Valid parts need a Driver-level, a price > 0$, and an icon reference (even if fake, then it will put an error in your log, but usually not crash the game).

If you check /def/vehicle/truck/{truckname}/engine or .../transmission you can see the respective "parts" and their layouts - these are TEXT FILES. (I'd suggest an editor like freeware notepad++ or so for a more structured display).

If you alter the values for kw/hp and/or nm/lb ft, you can beef up the engines, or change the transmission ratios for each gear.

Be aware though that specific engine/s might (for realism's sake) be keyed to transmission/s and vice versa, so you usually can't combine them freely. However, if that's your desire, just out-comment lines starting with "suitable_for" and/or "conflict_with" by starting them with a '#' sign. Happy experiments!

KW/HP do nothing, they are just for display purposes, only torque changes the engine behaviour because it is used in the actual calculations

You are right - in real life they are correlated however. And it would feel weird to habe a 250hp Diesel engine produced 3500nm of torque.

Thank you guys for explainings but i'm so badly amateur to this technicals details and i don't know what to change exactly. Maybe if you can help me please, with a file edited with a little more power to the truck, i will truly appreciate.

Best regards.

viewtopic.php?p=1458778#p1458778 you need either of these mods.

[Loyal4ets2]

thank you very much for this !

Also, can you work on all glass of the cabin ? They tend to overbright the exterior and aswell to work on left/right windows to make them thick or something like that. They don't have shadow to add depth. Line of the window is very thin.

and from exterior to see the difference of brightness

you refer to this ?

2.14: Added removable USDOT sticker
Added Engine badges
Separated chrome kickplate
Added separated Globetrotter stickers
Added Clean Idle stickers
Improved glass def files
Adjusted glass locators

I understand but this glass is different to default scs trucks (no difference in terms of contrast from in-cabin and exterior), and the windows left/right (they have shadows to the edge for more depth) :

@galimim
Since the 1.40 update, the indicator lights on the dash
are working at night, but during daylight, they are not working. Are you going to provide an update for the new beta?
