Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Drove around with this for several 'game days' ..... very nice visuals - but 2 major issues - every day has fog, and twice this was so thick it was like a sandstorm ... visibility was maybe 100 ft. when fog was heavy. This was barely driveable. I could only see the road ahead with high beams. I would rather have less frequent fog and less dense fog.

At the times when fog was light the visuals and sky were very nice.

Never rained - only fog - so I can't evaluate the rain aspect.

One weird item was that in the heavy fog the side of the road typical metal guard rails were bright and glowing, like radioactive ..... very odd looking ..... this was all the way down the road.

I noticed a change in external camera zoom ...... perhaps note in the mod description. Why was this done ???

Fog Intensity can be like that sometimes including when its raining.
Rain you have to increase the probability in the Game options, increase the rain probability and it will rain more often. The mod does not make more or less Rain or when, like i said its in the game options :)
The camera zoom out you can see further your truck than the vanilla ;)

I don't seem to hear the thunder during heavy rain, inside or outside of the cab, I tried to look for a way of increasing the volume for my own preference instead of pestering for a change, but I couldn't find anything regarding sound volume of the various samples, I am still a novice at this, but I assume the structure is similar to that of the engine sounds, correct? If you could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. Aside from that one minor grumble which is as I said, a personal preference, this is an awesome mod I don't know how I did without. excellent work.

That helped thanks for the quick response. Only thing left I've noticed is as metal_trucker has said, there's fog every day, sometimes for days on end, and for some countries, that's accurate. But for most of North America, from my own experiences, its rarely foggy for more than a day, usually only a few hours at best, early morning or late evening, and not often. Being overcast or partly cloudy however.....depending on season, could be on and off all week, last for hours to days, or nothing for months. Now I don't expect THAT level of detail, if it is even possible, lol. But it would be nice to be able to do a few days at least where its good weather and at least partly cloudy, would that be a possibility?

Kass, I do not re-uploading your mods. Question about other authors: are you their lawyer?
So, what is next?
