The Load Order
The general rule is: Eeach Addon must be on top of the original mod.

#Load Order Examples:
The Not Supported:
- US Car Culture - Real Traffic Density Compatibility Patch --> modifies the vehicles's def (Default & Jazzy's)
- All SGD traffic mods: These mods come with their own custom headlights/flares
- [12-JUN-26] Traffic Buses - America & Canada[PackSkin] (Headlights type: Warm)(Required Mod). The mod's been removed from Steam.
The Known Issues:
- Any mod that modifies the vehicle model, will lead to losing the headlight type assigned, but the lenses will stay intact. In this case, the miss-matching will increase.
- Broken headlight or taillight? happens in real life!
- If the main Better Flares mod is not updated, these add-ons will die.
The Issue Report:
- Miss-matched lenses and headlights. Don't report, unless you have an enhancement.
- Broken tail light and/or headlights. I have it on porpuse to simulate real life.
- License Plate errors. This is a traffic pack or other mod issues, not this one.
- Any mod that changes the vehicle/s model. Don't report, unless you have a workaround.
To report an issue use the below template:Code: Select all
- Game Version: - All your mods load order: - Main Better Flares Version: 'Below v4.7' is not supported - Traffic Pack/s Name/s and Version/s: - Pack Name: Pack version - Pack Name: Pack version - ETC... - Vehicle Type (Truck, Car or Motorcycle) if you can. - Link to the game.log.txt "read the below instructions" After a crash, post your complete game.log.txt to pastebin.com (no account needed) and then post the link here and we'll have a look for you (split the game.log.txt into multiple pastes if it is too big). If pastebin is not available in your country please use http://rentry.co and post the link to it here please. The page works like pastebin. The files can be found at "C:\Users\*USERNAME*\Documents\American Truck Simulator" for a default install.

The Donation:
The reason of engaging with the community is the fun of it and covering a couple of gaps, donation is not mandatory and won't effect the mod's update as long as I play the game. If you feel you want to, then thanks in advanced. Otherwise Enjoy and Have Fun!!!
