How to improve semi truck speed and acceleration when pulling a trailer?
-
Hi guys
Im having a mod that add many trucking missions, but the semi trucks in this game is not so fun to drive with a trailer.
Im not interested in realistic speed and performance, I'm would love to get higher speed, better acceleration and momentum going uphill.I have spent some time reading up on settings in handling.meta, and I have used 5-6 hours playing around with the settings, but I have not achieved anything significant.
So I hope some of you can share some of your experience and thoughts on what settings that can improve performance for semi trucks with trailer.Some settings I have been testing:
fInitialDragCoeff
fInitialDriveForce
fClutchChangeRateScaleUpShift
fClutchChangeRateScaleDownShift
InitialDriveMaxFlatVel
fTractionCurveMax
fTractionCurveMin
fTractionSpringDeltaMax
fLowSpeedTractionLossMult
fTractionLossMultI guess there is some combination of settings I have not discovered yet.
Have fun

Ok after more hours of testing I have come to to a kind of working solution, its not perfect but its working and is ok.
It all came down to tweaking this 3 settings like many mods already have done:
fInitialDragCoeff, fInitialDriveForce and InitialDriveMaxFlatVel.Hauler: fInitialDragCoeff 10, fInitialDriveForce 0.18, InitialDriveMaxFlatVel 110
Phantom: fInitialDragCoeff 10, fInitialDriveForce 0.20, InitialDriveMaxFlatVel 105
Packer: fInitialDragCoeff 7, fInitialDriveForce 0.27, InitialDriveMaxFlatVel 122Now they all perform better than before and hauler is weakest, Phantom in the middle and Packer is the best, and this is a better match in price for them in the mod I use
