Hi guys! Can you please check new version? It's a test update, and I'd like hear your feedback.

Changes:
Brighter car wheel splashes
Alternative wiper sound sequence (previously wiper made loud sound on the way down, now it plays when moving up). I kind of like new version more but not sure which one is more 'realistic'. What do you think?

For now Base mod only, unfortunately SCS Workshop Uploader gives me weird errors when trying to upload addons, meanwhile in the game log is clear

When it comes to the spray behind vehicles, from me personally it's a resounding NO. It should be almost non existent, as there is no real correlation between speed and the amount of spray, due to the (limited) game engine. Instead I would really like to have more consistency in the "wetness" factor and reflections on the road surface if possible.

Small update (both for ATS and ETS2):
Improved car splash trails (more randomness and less brighter texture)
Changed outside rain texture

Thanks for the feedback! I understand what you mean, however I can't make it non-existent simply because cars and trucks do spray and they do that A LOT. And since most of the time we drive fast I decided to make splashes quite big (but slightly darker in recent update). It's just a matter of compromise between engine limitations and personal preferences. And please don't forget mod is unlocked so anyone can modify it or remove unwanted parts ^^

I think that depends on weather settings, so if such thing is possible weather modders should know more

Small update:
- Tweaked particle behaviour on windshield
- Decreased brightness of car splash trails
