#Load Order Examples:
The Not Supported:
- All SGD traffic mods: These mods come with their own custom headlights/flares
- Emergency Traffic Pack (v1.2.16) --> conflicts with other packs & cause dangling pointer errors
- ch AI Traffic --> crashes in the North
- Real Traffic Density patch for Jazzycat/TrafficMan vehicles --> modifies the vehicles's def (Jazzy & TM)
- Emergency Traffic Pack by TrafficManiac.
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!!!

I'm just guessing that the topic would get more traction if people had access to the modified packages, as few are want to puzzle out all this conversion stuff, even if it's just several simple steps. On the other hand, adding video tutorial might help, but I still think folk would rather download complete scs packs
