Coming soon... ATS TurnBack Mod

TURNBACK MOD - Coming Soon

If your like me, I can't stand some of the features the game presents although most features are realistic. That being said. Their use to be a period in time where truckers had more freedom, states wasn't so restricted on laws, and things wasn't so... well... pricey. So, I have been creating this mod or making changes to the game here lately and will share this with everyone else here sometime soon.

WHATS INCLUDED

California Changes

When I started playing this game I couldn't stand going in or taking loads to California. Why? Because of the speed limit for trucks. Just as simple as that.
  • Local Roads - Speed limit change for truck limit from 55mph to 60mph (except for zones that require all vehicles to run 55mph)
  • Divided Roads - Speed limit change for truck limit from 55mph to 70mph (includes truck traffic as well)
  • Freeways - Speed limit change for truck limit from 55mph to 70mph (included truck traffic as well)
Most speed limit signs in California have been changed to match all changed speed limits, although their is some that still remain 55mph.

Drive & Sleep Changes

If I can remember right. You use to be able to drive and sleep whenever you felt like it at whatever ratio you desired. Kind of like how certain Expedite companies allow with Cargo Vans and Sprinter vans in today's world and so forth.
  • Drive & Sleep Ratio - Changed drive time to 18 hours and sleep time to 6 hours (giving a 18/6 ratio)

Economy Changes

These are just some changes I have been playing around with and think it's kind of a more appropriate economy for the average trucker. Yeah I know it's fictional :p
  • Truck Refund - Changed from 25% to 35%
  • Fuel Discount at Garage - Changed from 15% to 25%
  • Abandoned Job Fine - Changed from $12,000 to $1200
  • Driver Hire Cost - Changed from $1500 to $500
  • Skilled Driver - Changed from 0.8 to 1.8
  • AI Driver Revenue - Changed from $0.67 per km to $0.54 per km (find this more appropriate)
  • AI Driver Cargo Revenue - Changed from $0.77 per km to $0.64 per km (find this more appropriate for national company driver average) 
  • Other Changes

Fictional Engine

Will be including a fictional engine.
  • Detroit DD17 - 700hp
Other changes will be announced once the mod is complete and ready for the public...bug free.
