Does this mod change the view from the mirrors, as it has affected all my trucks, both the main mirrors and the hood mirrors, the main mirrors had to be adjusted back to my liking, but the same couldn't be done to the hood mirrors, but once I removed this mod, everything was back to normal in all my trucks.

Hey @Kass I absolutely love this mod, however if I may, I have a few bit of hopefully constructive criticism. I won't try to understand how difficult it would be to alter, or to what extent, but for the sake of realism.... I find the night time comes much to gradual, too late and no where near dark enough. It feels more like I'm driving into to a bad storm in the evening then driving down country roads at night. Also it should stay much brighter, for much longer. The colours you've used to simulate dusk are spot on and give some incredible sunsets to drive through, but that shouldn't start at 1500 in the afternoon. The skyboxes are perfect, I think its more of an ambient light issue? Really after no later than 2130-2200 the only thing that should be seen should be within the headlights of your truck...with just a slight ability to make out shapes, albeit black, on the horizon. I know if I dropped the brightness in game, it would look perfect at night, but never really feel bright enough during the day.....more like 1700ish. If possible, it should go from daylight to night (especially in desert or plains) from about 2045-2115 and be black by 2200-2300. My only other thought would be a more limited view distance in "heavy" rain......shouldn't be able to see 2-3 kms down the road in a downpour right?

Again, this isn't a complaint, just observations to make this great mod the best one out there. Keep up the amazing work..

@serialblack i guess you meant RBW mod and not this 1 :lol: either way its fine. This mod have none of those, skyboxes etc its only the same Rain and Thunder sounds.
Longer nights & short days, or shorter nights & longer days are not from the RBW anymore for sometime now, probably you have mod using this file: env_data.sii this file is what make the nights or days longer or shorter, seasons etc, as i said above. If no mod is using that file obviously RBW will use the vanilla.
Regarding the Rain yeah i could increase to more "heavier" rain but that will have huge impact in the FPS and performance, but you can tweak the rain for personal use ;)

@Kass apologies you are correct .I grabbed the RBW and its much better. And my thought wouldn't necessarily be to increase the rain itself.....but perhaps viewing distance? I know at least with the horrible highways around here there is a massive amount of mist kicked up by other vehicles, kinda like a fog......but, well wetter i guess? lol.. I have no idea how the fog system works in game I have seen you have it reduced cause people complained, is there maybe a way to have it dense, but further away? Perhaps I should ask this on the other page? or would it be relevant to both?

@serialblack its fine worry not ;) i suppose you mean FOV? Regardless in the next update i will tweak abit the FOV.
You see sum people just complain just about anything and everything :lol: i did not tweaked down the fog because of the complains really, more like actually was abit to "much" fog in dry or wet weather to my taste, personally i was not happy about it hence why i decrease the occurrence etc etc ;) like i said before, if i had to change RBW because of other people complains, i would have to make alot of different RBW versions :lol:
Dense and further away no not to my acknowledge. At least not the way the weather works in this game.
No this mod like i said does not have skyboxes etc, only the Rain & thunder sounds of RBW.
