Where it came from:
Someone anonymous did one for earlier versions of both games but it didn't get updated after an SCS update. It was credited to Jazzycat but although it used his truck models it never appeared on his web site, so I assume his participation was without his knowledge. This one is based on what the original did, but only uses SCS models, has been kept more or less up to date and has had extra bits added to it.
What it does:
Adds double/triple trailers in traffic
Forestry DLC Addon adds the trailers and cargo from the Forest Machinery DLC
Heavy Cargo DLC Addon adds the trailers and cargo from the Heavy Cargo DLC
LodeKing DLC Addon adds the trailers and cargo from the LodeKing Trailers DLC
Oversize DLC Addon adds the trailers and cargo from the Special Transport DLC
Volvo Construction Equipment DLC Addon adds the trailers and cargo from the Volvo Construction Equipment DLC
More single trailers with more cargo.
Single and triple versions of the double trailers from Jazzycat's Painted Truck mod
Double versions of the containers and tanks from Arnook's Container Pack
Various other bits'n'bobs as detailed below

Trailer paint jobs are the standard-issue SCS ones. Real companies mods should replace the SCS skins with their own, though note that this can cause logos to fall off the end of trailers or display other unseemly behaviour. The mod has fancy truck colours courtesy of the inestimable CIP formerly of this parish, who also did most of the heavy lifting ha ha on the heavy cargo trailer adaptations. Kudos also due to mr.peterbilt for advising me that Special Transport trailers now work in traffic. I'm sure they used not to...
What's new?
Version 1.49.2 for ATS v1.49: Mr_Larrington__x27_s_ATS_Traffic_Mods_v1.49.2.7z - 33.5 MB <== Created 2023-12-17 13:19 GMT
AI Truck Templates: ATS_AI_Truck_templates.zip - 28.2 MB <== Created 2023-08-05 16:34 BST
- Realised that the International 9900 A single and the C double are both day cabs so there's no need for a C single.
- Added Volvo VNL 2018 B cab double; A & B cabs for oversize trailers.
- Arnook double addon. I thought I'd already released this but apparently not. Sorry.
[*}Farm Machinery DLC addon. - Greatly reduced spawning for Oversize loads.
- Wind turbine blade added to Oversize addon.
- Even yet more cargo for various trailers.
- Lowboys with cotton harvester cargo moved from DLC Heavy Addon to Base.
- Removed unused directories from /vehicle.
- Fixed the odd error with RM doubles getting where they shouldn't.
- New in v1.49.1...
- New set of double trucks in the base mod. These are identical to the originals except that they ONLY haul double gooseneck and double flatbed trailers with container, tank, site office, generator and mixed construction cargo and their spawn ratio is 1/3 that of the regular ones. This means much more balanced numbers of double trailers.
- ATS_High_Spawn_Frequency_Trailers discontinued. Gave me a headache and didn't work properly.
- ATS_Low_Spawn_Frequency_Trailers also discontinued. Gave me another headache and also didn't work properly.
- Increased spawn ratios for lowboy trailers.
- New in v1.49.2...
- Add Nuevo Leon.
- Cotton harvesters now only appear in areas where there's cotton to be harvested.
- Fix stupid error with bottom dumper trailer still being in traffic files.
Known issues:
- Some trailers might arrive before their wheels do. To fix this, edit your config.cfg file and change the line:
to
Code: Select all
uset g_lod_factor_traffic "0"
The game sometimes sets the graphics mode back to "ZX-81" after a crash, so keep a backup copy of your config.cfg file handy.Code: Select all
uset g_lod_factor_traffic "5"
- The trailers still sink into the road surface, fall apart, materialise in the middle of your traffic lane or tie themselves in knots from time to time.
- Warning flags don't appear on some, or more, of the lowboys. I have no idea why.
- Some of the trailers adapted from owned ones have disembodied licence plates floating behind them. Like this:

I think this is confined to the rear trailers of the b-double dryvan/insulated/reefer rigs and it's only visible from behind, so I've left these trailers in the main mod. - Most of the trailers in the Oversize addon are wide and therefore cause accidents on single-carriageway roads. For this reason their spawn frequencies are low.
- The lights on the trailers adapted from owned ones are a Rubbish.
You are actively encouraged to take these mods apart to see how they work and put your own trucks and trailers in them. To this end, the package will always be free and able to be unpacked without resorting to any funny business.
