Mercedes Benz New Actros 2019 [Update 1.49/ 16.01.2024]

because Cascadia and Actros share the same overall display hardware and the software for it, obviously some differences in layout will still be there

I understand the authors not wanting to redo the dashboard based on the Cascadia. Just replacing the miles-per-hour digits with kilometers-per-hour would be already a MAJOR undertaking. That's a lot of work, folks! Maybe it doesn't look that way but it is!

The real dashboard might already have support to switch to mph from kph or vice versa in its firmware. You just cannot do this with the ETS2 and ATS dashboards. If SCS had made a true background for the dashboard, without adding anything to it, that could have been easier to adapt from the ATS Cascadia to the ETS2 MP5 but, alas, SCS did include the numbers in the dashboard, so it's almost impossible to replace them in a drawing program. I know because I tried...

As for the other gauges and bars, that would be relatively easy to change. The major obstacle are the miles per hour.

With 55 profile tires, I usually hit curbs in roundabouts or narrow streets. Maybe the truck is to low? Doesn´t happen with other trucks

Are kast rigid boxes planned to be supported at some point?

Hello Wolli & team,

First of all, I would of course only like to express words of praise for this, YOUR, TOP work.

I had already tried your "MP5" a long time ago, but my PC was absolutely overwhelmed with this insanely great mod truck: '(

The world has looked a little better since a small hardware upgrade and I dared to try your truck again. Ok, even the slightly better hardware has its problems, my performance is, compared to many other players, underground - but currently enough for me to be able to enjoy a little time with your MB Actros MP5.

In real life I move such an MB New Actros 1845 Style Line and of course enjoy the virtual hours.

As expected, of course I also have other mods active, including the "Signs on your Truck and Trailer" and this one seems to have a little problem with your MP5: '(

Not all of the "sticker 1" points are shown on the front mask.

Likewise, NO stickers are shown on the rear wall of the tractor. On the front it looks to me as if there was a different texture over the stickers, on the back wall the stickers seem to be overall "deeper", which is why they are not visible at all?!?

I took a couple of pictures that I'm trying to add here.

At the end I have 2 comments, some of which I was able to find out myself on the last ~ 8 pages.

To the speedometer / dashboard ...
Yes, the real MP5 has 2 different speedometer designs that can be changed. I've read that it would be very time-consuming to add a different design for the speedometer to the MP5, just as the GB interior is supposed to cause "problems" (?!? ...

If you want to offer the classic speedometer design, provided that there is really more demand, it would be the simplest thing to do with an additional interior, so that you can choose between modern and classic instruments in the workshop - Of course this would still be a lot of work for you, but I think that the only thing that makes sense would be if you wanted to implement it.

As a second:
Brightness of the GPS - yes, this is extremely bright - if you could somehow darken this I would also appreciate it very much. Or would it be possible to couple this brightness to the brightness of the instruments?!?

Third and last ...
Yes, an indicator for activated low beam would be really great. I have read that it is not possible to create 2 different symbols in the same place in the speedometer - ok, that is a disadvantage here with ETS - but I think it would be a tiny "mistake" if you did not put the second symbol next to it true to the original . I find the view of the switch near the left knee very annoying and ugly, and the switch and the tiny control lights are absolutely difficult to see: '(

So, I think that was more like enough words for which I just wanted to give a little short feedback - SORRY for this long novel
