Changelog:
v1.0 – Initial release
v1.1 – Adjusted cabin movement
– Reworked tire behavior in dry/wet conditions
– Improved torque converter behavior
– Fixed mod packaging
v1.2 – Cabin was too sprung, reduced spring rate
– Increased wheel slip factor for better traction
v1.3 – New physics file test
v1.4 – Reduced cabin weight
– Adjusted cabin sway bar value
– Adjusted wheel weight to match real-world 315/70
– Increased air resistance to realistic level
– Improved rolling resistance
– Slight adjustment to braking performance
– Steering ratio now matches real-world behavior
– Increased wheel visual lock for better realism
v1.5 – Made a mistake on cabin suspension travel value – reverted to the correct one
– Corrected cabin sway-bar factor
– Adjusted braking curve RPM value and brake balance
– Small decrease to 5th wheel pitch value
v1.6 – Fifth wheel pitch and roll updated to values based on JOST information
– Cabin pitch angle and roll updated to an average between Volvo FH16, SCANIA S, Mercedes New Actros (MP4) values
– Cabin Center-of-Gravity (CoG) value decreased slightly to better match real trucks
– Tire grip updated to values based on the Michelin X® LINE™ ENERGY™ and Goodyear FUELMAX D 315/70 R22.5 size
v1.7 – Modified damping scaling to match real truck/trailer behavior (watch out for trailer tipping 🙂 )
– A slight +7kg increase to cabin mass
– Transmission and clutch behavior updated
– Recalculated air resistance
v1.8 – Brake bias now simulates real-world behavior (60%/40%)
– Flywheel inertia simulation improved
