Stability setting

#1 Post by Dave_K » 27 Apr 2025 13:56

Hi all,

is there a sensible or recommended setting for truck and trailer stability sliders?

Thanks

The default ones are 'sensible' any thing beyond that depends in part upon your control devices and what you want to achieve.

Ok thanks, i've tweaked them, not sure but is there a reset button or what were the defaults?

I guess i want realism, I have a basic FFB Thrustmaster wheel, play in VR and have a motion rig.

Without using physics mods, what truck and trailer stability settings would give realistic handling/physics?

I love accuracy and realism, but IRL I've never driven anything over 12 tons, so i have no experience to guide me.

I'm currently running 20% stability for both truck and trailer.
In ATS i just took a bend at 65mph when the advisory sign said 45mph and nothing happened.

I just saw this video and it has recommended settings and recommends physics mods.

I wonder if these settings work on a vanilla profile?

I use mods but no physics mod and my settings of truck trailer is like this:

Code: Select all

uset g_cabin_suspension_stiffness "0.5"
uset g_suspension_stiffness "0.5"
uset g_trailer_stability "0.225"
uset g_driveshaft_torque "0.6"
uset g_truck_stability "0.25"
I use mouse for steering. The values above is from the */profiles/*active* profile/config.cfg

uset g_suspension_stiffness "0.2"
uset g_trailer_stability "0.355"
uset g_driveshaft_torque "0.44"
uset g_truck_stability "0.305"
