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.

DAF XG-XG+-XD Improved Dashboard v1.2.6 (Updated)

#1 Post by NemesysTrans » 15 Jun 2021 14:42

Just a little mod to make some information in the new dashboard of the DAF XG and XG+ more readable. Nothing fancy, just bigger font sizes for some information. Clock, odometer, fuel percentage, trip distance and temperature have been increased in size. Replaced the coolant bar in the upper left corner with a fuel bar. Added a speed limit indicator next to the current speed.
  • Version 1.2.6:
    • Adds compatibility to the DAF XD
  • Version 1.2.5:
    • Changes for compatibility with 1.46. NOTE: this mod will no longer work with previous versions of ETS2
    • Switches back to the fuel gauge indicator in the top left corner as there are no builtin functions to display the fuel remaining in such a bar
  • Version 1.2.4:
    • Made the speed limit indicator slightly larger
  • Version 1.2.3:
    • Fixed the wrong folder used for the mod
  • Version 1.2.2:
    • Fixed the disappearing gear indicator after the 1.43 update
  • Version 1.2.1:
    • Improved the appearance of the speed limit indicator. No more square "corners"
  • Version 1.2:
    • Replaced the coolant bar in the upper left corner with a fuel bar (Note: because of its shape and width, the bar is not as easy to read as a straight fuel bar)
    • Added speed limit indicator next to the current speed
    • Moved fuel remaining and fuel range to the left
  • Version 1.1.1:
    • Made trip distance a little wider to display up to 5 digits
  • Version 1.1:
    • Added fuel remaining
    • Added distance to empty
  • Version 1.0:
    • Initial release

I would l like to give a big shout to @piva for the inspiration. After I posted a question in his thread for his own version of the DAF XG dashboard and he just ignored my question, i decided to take matters into my own hands and this is the result.

You can simply put the zip file into the mod folder in your ETS2 installation. There is no need to extract it.

No clue why SCS kept the icon/text size for the info on the top and below this tiny. Some of us aren't so young anymore...

Yes, that's probably because the actual display looks like that. However, I will take usability any time over realism. If I can't read the information in the dashboard, whether it's realistic or not doesn't help me a bit...
