Do i need to add a mod to have smoke come out of my stacks ?

[sean.hughes76]

or missing something on game-play setting? ..3080 ti so i don't think it's a GPU issue :p

Mod in the work shop, one is for your truck smoke, the other is for traffic trucks smoke. If you have a MOD truck it may or may not work.

And be aware it looks stupid - Actually it smokes the whole time - engine on, engine off, engine idle, engine full power. The game simply does not provide it because all the trucks coming with it don't smoke - unless either broken or someone manpulated their emissions control system illegally. So SCS spent their efforts on features that are of more use and a mod cannot introduce stuff that is not in the game code to begin with.

When you add that mod the truck even smokes when it is turned off.. Bad mod..

[Greyhawke]

Maybe it makes the truck smoke all the time because the truck is on fire, not because it is running. You should check the author's notes/readme file /wink

Modern trucks don't smoke unless something is very wrong with the engine.

You may be interested in this report:
"U.S. fines diesel tuners millions for altering pickup exhausts
Sinister Manufacturing Co. and Gorilla Performance both on the hook for massive penalties for selling emissions-defeat kits.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced the guilty pleas, one from Gorilla Performance of Rexburg, Idaho; and the other from Sinister Diesel, from Roseville, California. Both outfits have sold or installed tens of thousands of the illegal “defeat kits” that allow drivers of diesel vehicles, primarily pickup trucks, to “roll coal,” a practice of spewing diesel soot from their exhaust at the stamp of the gas pedal.

In Idaho, Gorilla Performance’s parent company GDP Tuning LLC is looking at fines of over US$1 million for its sale of defeat kits, as well as for removing emissions controls at its shop. A chunk of the fines will be personally paid by the company’s owner, Barry Pierce. Pierce may also be facing up to two years in jail."

You'd be pulled off the road the minute a highway Patrol officer saw smoke from your exhaust, good job this is a game.

I really think the mod is not that bad, all trucks do not smoke with the mod. Some will have smoke out the top exhaust, some will have it from under the truck, some diesel cars even smoke with the mod. It does not blow smoke out every exhaust, and with the addition of the older truck market added to buy used trucks it fits. Even on today's roads there are still trucks that smoke. Before I would bash it, I would try and build one.

If the truck smokes it has either massive engine issues or it has been messed with. Which is illegal either way to operate that truck (unless you drive straight to a repair shop).

Or it is old - the Mack DM in AI traffic (concrete mixer, dump truck, waste collector...) would for sure smoke in certain situations, as all trucks from the 80es did. However, no owneable trucks fall under this, because even the look-olds are modern under the hood.

He's telling the truth though. There are lots of old trucks on an american highway right now blowing smoke.

Black thick rich coalstack type smoke, no. Visible exhaust smoke, yes.

Edit: As for the mod i didn't care for it. It crashed me alot.

Except that none of these are in the game.
