How to enable in-game developer console: viewtopic.php?t=61852
Setup complete version only (updated for new 1.48 sliders; mod manager description updated too)
- MANDATORY: console command "g_cabin_suspension_stiffness -2.6" (cabin suspension stiffness slider < 0)
you MUST issue this command into the console BEFORE going to your truck; you can safely do that from your profile's main menu. If this command is issued before enabling the mod, you shouldn't encounter issues apart from the cab behaving a little funny. Adjusting the cabin suspension stiffness slider will override the value previously specified through the console (do so when uninstalling Cervellotica)!
- Truck suspension stiffness 0%, truck stability 0%, trailer stability 0% (adjust all to taste)
- Console command "g_brake_intensity 1.0" or braking intensity slider 100% (adjust to taste)
- gamepad users only Steering autocentering enabled, steering sensitivity 0.50, steering non-linearity 0.00, steering animation 1900°;
keyboard users should set steering sensitivity at roughly 0.30, then adjust to their liking (non-zero steering non-linearity should help too)
adjust steering sensitivity to taste and truck length
- Interior camera horizontal lock > 100% recommended, enabled physical camera movement recommended
Features
- Tyre spring delete: increased longitudinal tyre stiffness (likely modeled by a spring+damper between the truck and the tyre contact patch) for better brakes and accelerator control & more realistic suspension reaction to gear shifting, driveshaft torque, accelerating/stopping & better manual clutch feel
- Gamepad steering sensitivity and autocentering
- Reduced fifth wheel roll allowance for visual coherence with gameplay
- Soft but damped cabin suspension, no wobbling
- Torque converter viscosity (kinda)
- Tweaked lateral tyre stiffness (probably)
- Tyre slip factors
Known issues updated 2024\01\27
- complete version Sometimes when hitting a sharp bump (rail crossing, etc) the cabin physical camera might not move smoothly, though it doesn't seem to cause other issues
- Sometimes auto transmission will get stuck upshifting/downshifting between the same two gears
- Engine torque application is too rough because the tyre spring delete exposes other limitations
Paste the .zip archive in your Documents\ETS2\mod folder and enable it in Mod Manager. Any feedback is always welcome
Feel free to add the tyre spring delete to your favourite physics mod, this game deserves it
bristle_stiffness_longitudinal_factor: 5.0

Cervellotica Physics R24\01\27 - Spring Delete tyre spring delete only, vanilla physics otherwise
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 3053723160
https://sharemods.com/3dnm86pybe50/Cerv ... e.zip.html
new - tuned longitudinal tyre stiffness value
Cervellotica Physics R24\01\27 - Complete all the features
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 3064937850
https://sharemods.com/12gk9mj4wrjl/Cerv ... e.zip.html
new - cabin and chassis suspension, gamepad/keyboard steering, brakes, tyre spring delete tuning
new - tyre slip factors (locking up the brakes should be a bit easier)
fixed - auto transmission won't get stuck shifting between two gears (probably?)

- R2022\06\28 - Initial release
- R2022\07\03 - Tire lateral stiffness + dampening tweaking is back so that steering isn't F1-like sharp, the new values shouldn't cause instability. Feel free to play a little with all the suspension/stability sliders (except the cabin one) to adapt the physics to your truck configuration. g_suspension_stiffness values < 0 are also accepted
- R2023\06\06 - New steering autocentering, less cabin pitch + see mod description in mod manager :D
- R2023\09\27 - Tyre spring delete is here!!! I cannot understate this lol. Now two variants, the Complete one and the Spring Delete only one; ATS Spring Delete version is coming too
- R2023\09\28 - Minor tweaks, sorry for releasing for two days in a row. ATS Spring Delete version released too :)
- R2023\10\13 - higher cabin COG, reworked suspension, brakes curve closer to default; simplified spring delete in the Spring Delete version
- R2023\10\26 - reworked steering sensitivity and autocentering; Spring Delete version released on Steam
- R2023\10\26 - steam version will be updated when 1.49 is released
- R2023\11\25 - removed unnecessary cabin mass modification
- R2024\01\27 - general improvements, new comments added to the code
