Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Improvements to lighting in bad weather, especially during snowstorms.
Improvements to dynamic vision adaptation at night.





Hi everyone! :)

At the urging of @grimes I decided to create my own add-on posts for the Frosty ETS and ATS winter mods.

The add-on has undergone a major overhaul. I've rewritten the entire weather system with refined lighting and a refined dynamic vision adaptation system. There are no more strange red glows, and in bright light, you'll no longer experience uncontrolled dimming of the light and the truck's interior. So now you can install the brightest headlights and the world around you will definitely not darken.

In terms of climate, you'll be in for a wild ride – from beautiful high-pressure winter weather with sunny/moonlight conditions to extreme snowstorms.

The ATS version is compatible with the Alaska map.

The add-on includes subtle traffic modifications; drivers slow down on curves and reduce speed in heavy fog. However, these changes are not as radical as in the first version.

In terms of physics, the roads are slippery, but you'll get the best "slippery driving" effects if you install the cheapest built-in SCS tires on the rear, and slightly better tires on the front, as worse tires will make maneuvering completely impossible!

This add-on is standalone and doesn't require the Frosty mod, so it will likely be compatible with other winter mods.

So, have fun and be careful!
Wishing you a wide road and trees covered in foam 8-)

It appears the add-on will work in version 1.58.

Installation:
Download the MODs, move it to the mods folder, and in the mod manager, be sure to set it above the traffic mods, other weather mods, and, of course, the Frosty mod.
