He copied mine. Even took the same picture. Dunno why he is doing it.

What is the difference between your mod and Erbkaisser mod because you both offer the same mod with the same image

nice

Works perfectly

1.50?

It works. But I was in holiday for 3 weeks.

doesnt work now??? i have only this one mod active

Tested on several profiles.
Everything seems to be working good now.

Thank you so much for the fast response and patch !
(everything sorted within 1 hour :D)

I will update, in time, probably with 1.50+matching Pro-Mods.
There's actually a lot of people playing on older versions.

Again, thank you !

Borgrim, I uploaded a compatibility patch as well. Check if it works.
Also: consider updating your game, especially when mods get updated.

because SCS changed the file for the first time since release. I work on a compatiblity patch now.

I am at 1.46.x
been running that version for like a year now, never had any problems with your Mod.
And like I said, everything was fine yesterday.

what game version are you running Borgrim?

@Viss Valdyr did you change something today ? (25-2-2024)
MOD crashes game now, everything was fine yesterday.
Yes, tested on testingprofile with empty modmanager

time zones are optional (should use full info), if used, check description provided above.

Do I need timezones to be enabled? If so which do I choose "only time" or "full info"?

best mod i found for ets2, even better, its compatible with promods

interesting...

depends on the region you are driving in.

Is it normal during day time, noon does not seems like noon, it seems almost like sunset? Is there a way to fix it?

Are headlights for large trucks not required at all hours in some countries? Not sure if the fines are an error.

the option is called "timezones"

Hi, you say "IMPORTANT: Switch timezones ingame off in wintertime! It doesn't take the real sunrise or -set times into account, it will be off one hour." What option are you talking about? I haven't seen one for summer time, winter time setting. 🤨

yes, but load mine with higher priority. Grimes also has a "standard" day of the year set. If you load his higher than mine, then my mod gets overwritten.

that is an error from SCS side, sadly. I would advice either to switch off police fees, or leave your lights on at all times.

With this mod I get fined for not having my light's on at 1:30pm in the afternoon? what's going on here?

When the winter comes it gets really depressing. No wonder scandanavian people are depressed

Summertime is over, please read the description.

that would be mine, because mine doesn't do any "functionally conflicts" with weather mods, season mods, or map mods. But most of them have a "default" time of year setting. That would override my (one file) mod and would make it not working.

Many mods are asking for high priority yet there is only one number 1 spot!!!

yes, but mod has to be on higher priority, else it won't work (due to Promods also changing the file)

you can

wow, amazing that you created this mod in 2017 and still update it regularly gg

Oh okay, well that's good to know

like I said, I don't get any extras for having more subscribers, I don't have cofy or anything, I like modding, and doing it for free, I don't need any donations :)

Hey Viss,

I mainly do so because I update the ATS version at the same time, so it's little hassle for me to also do so for ETS2. I used to have the ETS2 one set to private, but at some point I accidentally made it public, and people asked me to keep it up... if it ever bothers you let me know and I'll set it private or friends only again and redirect them all here.

@BritishTrainspotting I asked Viss if he would be okay if I made a version of the mod for ATS back in 2017, and he was. I don't think we're competing or anything.

I know, but the amount of work (updating) is the same for them as it is for me, so I don't know why they bothered. I don't mind tho.

Are you aware of a copy of this mod being uploaded by someone else? They use the same thumbnail as yours too so...

but I thank you for your contribution. astronomy is fascinating :)

I just insert the date, the rest is done by the game itself.

@Viss Valdyr: I assume you just manually input either the Sun's declination or the max/min altitude for each week. There must be a rather easy way to automatize it having found a formula or an online resource (I am a hobby astronomer). It's basically a sinusoid span over the course of year. As I understand, the game does the rest: adjusts for east/west and the timezones.

Love the mod, it adds a lot of realism (the only better for me would be when SCS would implement seasons).

I drove from north of Spain all the way up to Honningsvag (and around Scandinavia) including non-stop overnight, and compared the in-game sunrise/sunset times with those IRL found online for the nearby cities on my way. It all was precise and making sense! It was during the first days of August, so less than a week from the last Jul.25 update: no dawn in Spain until about 5am, very short dark period around Stockholm/Helsinki latitude, and lucky to glimpse a bit of midnight sun in Alta, as the Arctic summer is now coming towards its end.

you can, but you don't need to

Do I need to turn on timezones?

just activate it, it works automatically, the times now are very close to vanilla, so changes may not be seen that "extremly"

any tutorials on how to install? or change the timezone, not sure if mod is working

Many thanks for this mod & your dedication to updating it. I must admit to being envious of the northern hemisphere at the moment as here in the south it is long nights but of course I get my chance to bask in the sun in six months time, lol. Thanks again.

interestingly there are fines for illegal border crossing, hard shoulder violation and damaged vehicle usage...

lamps on elevation dictates when the streetlamps and other vehicles going to use lights, depending on the elevation of the sun. 0 would mean at sunset, -5 would mean after sunset, it doesn't change the "no lamps on fee". What you need is to change the police_data.sii for that.

you can change the offence probability to 0. I reduced the red light probability significantly, avoid sleeping (since there are only very few rest stops ingame), and no lights have a 0 probabilty in my game.

Thanks for the mod, I'm trying to tweak on the settings but not sure what does lamps_on_elevation do

First, I have to congratulate you on this!
It's a spectacular concept that the game lacks!
I think it is possible to put the mod under automatic update, I know that for example, there is a mod about fuel prices in Europe that should be automatically updated every week.
it's just a suggestion, there are internet sites that provide this information. .

if you can, I dare you to create a mod about the weather too, weather synchronization. I explain, if it rains in Paris, in the game it will also be raining in Paris!
