The car left mirror does not work when i move the head to the left a little then it works should fix that
Your welcome and once again thank you for sharing this great car!
And another tips (to feel more like in reality car driving) and a little request:
1. My little / big request is if you can fix the windshield (make it to wipe the rain, like all trucks did). I like to drive in hard conditions, so, that’s why I changed the rain properties to be more dense (in “game_data.sii”). For storm rain on windshield:
}
core_interior_glass_config : .glass.config {
drop_count_per_meter: 9500
initial_splash_scale: 4.333
splash_duration: 0.5
minimal_lifetime: 1
maximal_lifetime: 11
minimal_fadeout: 0.3
maximal_fadeout: 4.0
distortion_strength: 1.8
blur_strength: 1.8
deformation_duration: 1.5
maximal_deformation: 3.0
moving_size_threshold: 1.5
vertical_acceleration_factor: -0.1
movement_acceleration_factor: 0.01
min_adhesion_factor: 0.45
max_adhesion_factor: 1.1
min_speed_effect_mps: 0.83
max_speed_effect_mps: 5.55
min_angle_cosine: 2.2
max_angle_cosine: 25.5
min_angle_factor: 2.2
max_angle_factor: 20.5
}
}
With this car, unfortunately, I can’t play this modifications, because I can’t see anything while driving. With all trucks I can!:(… I tried (along time ago) to fix it in blender, but, till now without any succed!:(… Maybe you’ll have more luck or knowledges then me (I’m still a beginer in blender)…
2. Only for your personal use (do not share!) you can change: “\material\ui\map\player.dds” with a real jeep car (top view) ;)… Or you can make one yourself (in Gimp/Photoshop) and then you can share…:)
3. Only for your personal use (again, do not share!) you can find free or payed blender models at:
http://tf3dm.com/3d-models/blender
Once again, you can make them yourself from scratch (in blender / zmodeler) and then you can share…:)
4. If you’ll use one of Hemil’s mod (with no map, only advisor) and you’ll want to feel more closer to reality (without see inside F2 mirrors), I discovered a way to do it (you’ll see only in external jeep mirrors). Just change hud left and hud right as I discovered and did (DO NOT delete them! Otherwise, the left mirror “frozen” again!:(… I tried to fix it in blender, but, till now, unfortunately without succed!):
HUD LEFT (you can change them in notepad ++):
SiiNunit
{
ui_blend_only_window : 00c30dd20 {
blend_x_shift: 0
blend_y_shift: 0
clip_children: true

Now you’ll have inside “invisible” mirrors (F2). You still need to push F2 to enable them, but now you’ll won’t see them!;)… Just like in reality! 😉
5. Personal I like to use also one of the great trokei’s GPS mod:
https://ets2.lt/en/navigation-edit-v-1-2-for-1-15-x/
Unfortunately, you can’t see the speed limits, but for me, speed limit show in GPS, it’s useless anyway, because I like to drive like in reality and be very attention at all road signs! ;)…
I hope this little tips can help you / others to feel more like in reality car driving. ;)… Please, don’t forget about my little / big request!
Good luck and drive safe (also in reality, not just in game :)…)
P.S. Btw, in one year since I have this game and I start to learn blender, I made over 100 new mods (which I never see it), but till now, unfortunately, SCS never answered to my email:(… And without their approval I won’t share my mods, also for free (I don’t do this for living; it’s just a passion, because I like so much to drive in reality and now in this game)… For instance, I made a map (linked to ETS2 default map) with a big city, dangerous roads, a driving school and test skills etc. I also changed almost all ETS 2 default vehicle models into AI vehicle models. Also, I made it from scratch:
– 6 different motorbikes (in reality also I like motorbikes);
_ 3 type of bicycles;
– 4 carts with haystack/wood/watermelons;
– conquest street runners;
– animals on road (goose, chickens, horses, cows, dogs), with different and slower speed; very useful to see them on country roads. Like in reality, they have an unpredictable behavior: sometimes they stop and refuse to start so fast :)…;
– 1 wedding cart with just married couple:);
– 2 different fire trucks;
– 2 different caravan traveling;
– 2 cabrio cars;
– 2 cars covered by snow;
– 1 auto service truck with tow car;
– 2 trolley (for city);
– 4 different buses (for city);
– 1 police motorbike;
– 2 police cars;
– 2 different driving school cars;
– 2 different tractors (with haystack and with pigs);
– 2 different trailers (with cows and horses) – standalone;
– 1 caravan with a horse;
– 2 happy men walk on roads;
– 1 vip car;
– changed the dead end and direction blockers with 2 different types: with worker/policeman and dead end sign (on both, now, you can drive thru them); also changed the invisible wall with speedbumps, so, now there is no limit on map;)
– changed the police warnings with ones close to reality (messages and pictures);)… etc…
Too bad that they never answered me, because I think my mods can bring us a little closer to reality driving… Without their approval, all my mods will remain only for my personal use. Sorry for that, but I like to respect the owner copyrights!;)…
Good luck and keep up the good work!
hi mate i tried the def files but it crashes once again awsome tips but unfortunatelly i dont know how to fix wipers as im also beginner but in Zmodeler3
Thank you so much for upload. Great job! Works very good in 1.16!
And, for those who like to drive this wonderful car, a few tips:
1. To make it very stable (handling, driving, breaking), just add engine and transmission from “def/vehicle/truck/daf.xf_euro6”.
Just replace “daf.xf_euro6″name with “jeep.srt8” and delete from engine last line: “defaults[]: “/def/vehicle/truck/daf.xf_euro6/…” ; now, become slower (max. speed is 136 km/h), but at least is very stable and drivable … Important is to drive safely a car / truck (like in reality!), not to race :)…;
2. If you’ll change kelsa lightbar in accessory/f_grill, then you’ll have a very bright lights. ;)… Same for beacon and codriver / driver plate (if you wanna have a passenger near you ;)…);
3. For reverse driving, just make (in Blender/Zmodeler) the driver headrest a little smaller (or delete it… it’s up to you). Then change the “\def\camera\units\interior_volvo… -> mouse_right_limit: -120 into mouse_right_limit: -220”; now, you’ll be able to “turn your head” and see backwards when you’ll drive in reverse (like in reality). Also, for reverse, you can use (if you like it) a great mod made by Smith Engineering, R.Clarkson:
https://ets2.lt/en/vehicle-reversing-sound-mod/
(or other reverse sound mod);
4. If you like to hear when you shift gears, just rename the original ETS 2 “changeg1.ogg” sound (you’ll find it in: “sound/truck/int/changeg1.ogg”) into: “gear_air_1.ogg; gear_air_2.ogg; gear_air_3.ogg and “gear_change.ogg” and add it in your scs file, as sound folder (for ext and int; keep the original sound structure from volvo)…
5. To be able to see in left mirror, you can enable a great mod made by Hemil(route advisor):
https://ets2.lt/en/route-advisor-reality-mod-collection-v-1-0-ets2-v1-14-%E2%88%BC/
From his mod, just choose which one you like it more and now you’ll have small advisor and mirrors instead those two default big mirrors ;)…
6. If you like to have also a trailer for this car, you can enable also trailer made by Roadhunter, doktorpixel14:
https://ets2.lt/en/grand-cherokee-srt8-v-1-2-with-trailer/
… 😉
I hope those little tips are useful. Once again, thank you for your work and sharing this great car. Keep up the good work!
thanks for tip man ill release version with the daf handling thing etc 🙂
