I have noticed that the horn with winter mod 1.34 cuts of quickly. When I play without the mod there is just the normal ending, which has a little echo, but with winter mod there is a sudden ending. This is quite annoying and I am not sure what causes this within the winter mod.

It’s the friction parameters at the bottom of the sii file, reducing them makes the road more slippy, although if you do it too much it can cause the cabin to shake, so it’s a fine balance.

It’s because in ATS the trucks are 6 wheelers therefore more stable, you could try changing the friction parameters at the bottom of the physics.sii file.

Hello, I drive with the version 1.34 and wanted to load the Frosty Winter in the game, but unfortunately the game always crashes. I then tried just to start the Frosty Heavy Winter and Physics in Mod Manager and both of these are going well without the frosty winter mod. But then I have very little snow on the trees and on the road. What else can I do to make the Frosty Winter run in Game 1.34?
HDR and Color is disabled in the settings!
And the heavy frosty add-on is high up in the manager!
It would be great if someone could help me there.

By the way, I just wanted to let you know that I tested the current Late Autumn/Mild Winter & the Frosty Winter Mods for ATS and they both work, the game loads, whereas the Early Autumn mod wouldn’t let the game load at all. Must be something in the ‘Early’ mod that freaks ATS out. When 1.36 for ETS2 becomes live, probably by the end of the month, I’ll test the ‘Early’ mod for ETS2 and see if the same thing happens that happened to ATS, because the two games are pretty much the same, graphically speaking.
LikeLike
No probs Patrick, I start testing out my mods for ETS2/ATS and updating/improving them as soon as the OBs come out, so they’re all on their way to being fixed and improvements made. Early Autumn for ATS has already been updated, the old Frosty and Late Autumn mods for ATS work on 1.36 but there are many fixes that need to be made, particularly with Frosty, I’ve also made improvements to the weather in Frosty. Late Autumn/Mild Winter for ATS will be updated over the weekend and Frosty hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
As for my ETS2 season mods none of them work on 1.36 (which is always the case when an update is released) updates for these will be rolled out once 1.36 is officially released.

You have a very loyal following, Grimes. Players love your mods, myself included. I try to advertise your mods when there is a new version release. I’m actually surprised that SCS hasn’t offered to buy your mods, and making them an option in the Gameplay settings. However, the present setup is great, because it is a kind of a one stop shop for all your graphics and seasonal weather needs: ) These mods are the only respite from the endless boring summer in the SCS games. Your mods make the games more real, especially if you use the weather/graphics mods in conjunction with your Real Companies mod for ATS players.

It’s not possible as different parts of maps share the same textures.
LikeLike
It is strange to me that since the map is broken up into sectors, those sectors must have map coordinates and allow map designers to work on sectors without interfering with people working on other sectors, that the game engine couldn’t be tweaked to allow the weather generation to affect certain sectors differently depending on the location coordinates. Then, once you reach the more northern coordinates, the weather could then change. That, of course, won’t happen until proper seasons can be brought in.
LikeLike
Map sectors can have unique weather, for example SCS at the moment have 3 different weather settings for EST2 and ATS, default, arid and desert, other maps like Promods will have many more than that. But SCS and other map makers don’t totally use unique textures in different sectors, in order to do that they would have to create a huge number of models, so textures are shared amongst different sectors, meaning that a texture or model that is used in a southern part of the map, for example terrain, grass, trees, buildings etc may also be used in a northern part of the map and vice versa.
If at some point SCS do bring in seasons (although I haven’t seen any evidence of that as yet) my guess is it would be uniform over the map as it is in my mods.

It will be available in MP in a couple of weeks, there were changes in the way terrain is implemented in 1.36 which seems to lessen terrain colouring a little bit in Frosty but unfortunately there was nothing in 1.36 that allows modders to remove brush effects completely, shame. SCS map makers can choose a predefined colour with each terrain texture which is fine as I can make these all white, the problem comes when they create a custom colour, I can’t do anything about that. It will be interesting to see how much terrain colouring is used in the Black Sea dlc.

Having just play tested Frosty ATS v2.6, I’m really glad that Frosty ATS v2.6 seems to work with ATS 1.36. There must be a difference between ATS and ETS2 and a difference between the 2 Frosty mods that makes the ETS2 Frosty not compatible with the 1.36 version of ETS2.

My ETS2 season mods contain many files that update the older out of date graphics you get in that game and also changes to vegetation files in order to get the look I want in each mod, these are the ones that cause it to break, this is not necessary in ATS in terms of updating the graphics so they generally don’t crash after each update, but it doesn’t mean they don’t need updating each time in terms of fixing other issues and making improvements.
