This mod is one of the best things happened to this game. It changes it to a more difficult experience with the ice phyisics

I LOVE IT!

It is a nice change of pace but last I tried Frosty SCS had not implemented tire slip angles, so I could not get understeer or oversteer, just a balanced sliding sideways toward the outside of curves. Can you spin donuts, jacknife trailers?

I did not know, this was updated to 1.33. Thanks for the link.

Still baffling, that SCS has no intention to make their own "Winter" theme version for the game. People like myself would PAY for that as a DLC, if it was done right and optimized (FPS, PBR, 4K, etc)

What would you know about their intentions?

Because it's not winter all over Europe at the same time. They would need it tied to a calendar plus region and a slider for variety of snow. Some places barely see snow other than cold temps. In Sweden snow chains are carried in trucks, Spain in red level mountain must have snow chains or winter tires. in the uk, south of Manchester barely sees snow whereas north Newcastle and into Scotland you can be into depths of 3ft plus, but not all the time.
Then you have frosty for ATS, which is totally surreal.
It's great for fun and that's it.

... I agree, it would be a lot of work.

I did not confuse "winter" for "snow", btw. Snow everywhere. But seasonal landscapes, including tire/brake temperature differences or tricky patches of icy streets (up-/downhill), etc - would be ... cool?

A lot can be done with swapping textures and shader tricks, as the mod shows. "Real" snow (DX10+ tessellation = deformation) would be cool for an ETS3 game engine update)

To be honest, the above mod does 'enough' to give players that 'winter' feeling. It is great.

//I am not an avid ETS2 player. So, i don't really know what the mod scene already accomplished.

ETS3 ain`t happening for a long time, improvements to ETS2 are coming (DX11, etc).

This. Keep in mind that this game is over six(!) years old. Not many 6-year old games still have such a large playerbase or consistent updates.

You sure can! Not a bit like real life, but certainly less traction than we're used to

I feel like installing this during winter just for the mood :)
