Realistic Suspension, Engine & Gearbox Mod v2.0

The Realistic Suspension, Engine & Gearbox Mod v2.0, previously known as the Realistic Physics Mod has been renamed to more accurately reflect the contents of the mod. It was pointed out that Realistic Physics could bring across the misconception that any physics coding was changed; what was changed is only the values in physics.sii that are made accessible and modifiable to the end-users. The inclusion of the words Engine & Gearbox also more accurately represents the fact that an extensive amount of additional engine and gearbox data have been included in the mod to enhance the accuracy of the simulator in terms of real life mechanical data.

This mod brings to you improvements in suspension settings and a wider and more accurate selection of gearboxes and engine choices to better suit different applications and preferences. The latest v1.9 patch for ETS2 has revised the entire physics code and as such the values that can be adjusted in the mod can be seen as being more limited than in previous iterations. This mod also brings to you a plethora of new gearbox choices for trucks in both non-retarder and retarder guises. These 54 new gearboxes vary from 12, 12+2 and 16 speeds dependent on truck make and model. All gearboxes are based on real life data with accurate gear and final drive ratios that have been compiled through many hours of research. These gearboxes also include multiple reverse
gear ratios (if applicable). This mod through the numerous release versions have garnered more than 192,000 individual downloads so join in the fun! *Please note that this mod is a continuous WIP and frequent updates will be made available in conjunction with any significant code changes in new patch releases for ETS2.
