DayneTreader - Could be a truck or other accessory mod causing that. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue you describe. I'd be interested to know if you find a fix.
DayneTreader Mar 10, 2024 @ 2:37pm 
My graphics settings are all at maximum. I can see blinking lights on my mirrors when I have the beacons turned on, but those lights are halfway between the beacons' position in my mirrors and tops of the mirrors. I'm gonna see if there is a mod that fixes this.

DayneTreader - I think you're saying that the emitted light from the beacons isn't reflecting off the door mirrors?

I think that would be kind of annoying, if I'm honest. But if you really want lights reflecting off the mirrors, you could try changing the Light Visibility Ranges option to 'High' in the graphical settings and see if that helps.

I'll explain further what I mean. In first-person, the beacons on the side of the truck do not flash their lights in your mirrors where they should. On the W900, for example, the light flashes almost at the top of the mirror where the beacon is only halfway up the mirror.

DayneTreader - I'm not sure I understand your question. This mod doesn't change the position of anything.
DayneTreader Mar 5, 2024 @ 6:09pm 
Does this mod fix the locations of the beacons' lights in the cabin mirrors?

@Mr. Godzilla - The wrecker is a mod. If that mod uses it's own beacon models, my edit will not work with that.
Mr. Godzilla Nov 28, 2022 @ 11:06am 
it doesn,t work on the wrecker c 500

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING

If you are experiencing issues with this mod, please explain what that issue is so I have something to work with. DO NOT leave a comment simply saying “update to 1.XX”. This mod does not contain version specific content, and will only receive essential updates as and when they become necessary.

Comments asking for version updates will be deleted and ignored.


Thanks for understanding and happy trucking! :winter2019happybulb::winter2019happysnowman:

@Mr Godzilla - Please describe the problem you are having. This mod still works fine for me.
Mr. Godzilla Nov 23, 2022 @ 6:46am 
please for 1.46

***UPDATED FOR 1.45***

This mod has been updated for use in convoy/multiplayer sessions.

Happy trucking! :winter2019happybulb:

@jimj6223 - If I ever make a mod which adds accessories to trucks and trailers, I will certainly include beacons for the loggers. Thanks for your comment, and Merry Christmas! :winter2019happysnowman:
SheGoingStupid Dec 18, 2021 @ 7:01pm

***INFORMATION REGARDING UPDATES***

Game version 1.43 will likely be released in a matter of weeks. Currently, ALL my mods still work as intended in single player in 1.40, 1.41 and 1.42.

Please do not ask for updates . I'm aware that updates are required for multiplayer/convoy compatibility, but updating anything prior to the 1.43 release will be a waste of time.

Thanks for your understanding! :winter2019happybulb:
JBM  [author] Nov 19, 2021 @ 12:31am 
@Adrenaline Rush - Tell me about it! I was starting to work on updates the day the 1.43 beta was announced and I thought, what's the point?! So now I'm waiting until 1.43 is released before updating anything. Thanks for your comment. :winter2019happybulb:
Adrenaline Rush Nov 18, 2021 @ 10:42pm 
@JBM you might wanna wait till 1.43 comes out they are in the beta version right now probably will release in about a month or two

nice work thank you brother

***IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING GAME VERSION 1.42***

This mod will continue to work as intended in single player.

Any updates which are required for compatibility with multiplayer/convoy will be made in due course. Hopefully within the next week or so, but I can't make promises.

Please do not ask for updates. I am already aware of the changes that 1.42 brings.

Happy trucking! :winter2019happybulb:

PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING FOR UPDATES...

The mod description above tells you what the mod does and doesn't do.

This mod does not require an update each time a new game version is released. It was updated when the lighting system was changed in 1.40 (as explained in the mod description above), and will continue to work as intended until such time as SCS decide to change the lighting system in a future game version. If/as/when that happens, the mod will be updated accordingly.

The plus '+' sign after 1.40 in the preview image at the top of this page indicates that the mod will work in all versions of the game from 1.40 onwards.

I'm humbled by the sheer number of players using my mods, and I'm glad that you enjoy them. But please do not aimlessly ask for unnecessary updates.

As with all my mods, non-essential improvements will be made if or when I feel there's a need for them.


Thank you for your understanding. :winter2019happybulb:

A Big Thank You @JBM :steamhappy::steamthumbsup:
JBM  [author] Jul 18, 2021 @ 1:19pm 
@GT182 - There are no updates required by this mod at this time. I last played ATS two days ago and the mod still works as it should. :winter2019happybulb:
GT182 Jul 18, 2021 @ 12:55pm 
Are you going to update this mod to 1.41?

JBM  [author] Apr 19, 2021 @ 9:25pm 
@Bryce Cannon - Yeah I need to have a look at the files and see what needs changing in 1.40. Hopefully I can release an update soon!
Bryce Cannon Apr 19, 2021 @ 5:17pm 
It works in 1.40 but it is hella bright!!! :)
JBM  [author] Mar 23, 2021 @ 9:31pm 
Hi Robert, I haven't tested it on 1.40, so I can't say for certain. All I can suggest is that you save your game before trying this mod. In theory, it should work, but no guarantees i'm afraid.

The one thing you should be aware of is that an update/patch in January seemed to result in beacons on the Cascadia not working when this mod was installed. Again, I can't confirm if that's still the case.

I was hoping to resume modding last month, and get all my mods updated. Unfortunately, I have too much going on in my personal life at the moment to work on anything. Hopefully updates and more mods soon!
Ahsoka Tano Mar 23, 2021 @ 2:30pm 
does this work with 1.40 update given what is changes, or is that asking for problems?
JBM  [author] Jan 27, 2021 @ 1:08pm 
@alfbetancourt - I'm not sure if you're asking a question.
alfbetancourt Jan 27, 2021 @ 12:36pm

alfbetancourt Jan 27, 2021 @ 12:36pm

AntFelly Jan 16, 2021 @ 4:20pm 
yeah kills beacons on the cas for me as well, no other mods active
Peter Lokey Dec 21, 2020 @ 8:21pm 
what be a cascadia specific mod i don't believe i'm running any?
JBM  [author] Dec 21, 2020 @ 2:38pm 
Hi Peter, please read my comment below and try disabling any Cascadia-specific mods you may be running. :)
Peter Lokey Dec 21, 2020 @ 1:35pm 
I'm also having issues with the beacons not working on the cascadia.
JBM  [author] Dec 9, 2020 @ 2:56am 
@b9bot1 - Thanks for your comment.

I've just checked in-game and i'm not having any issues with beacons on the Cascadia. I've tested them on all trucks and all cab variants and they’re working fine.

This mod doesn't use truck-specific data. If the beacons are working on other trucks, then the issue is likely due to a conflict with a Cascadia-specific mod you're using. But without further info, I can't really offer any more help i'm afraid.

If you would like me to look further into this for you, you can send your game.log file in it's entirety to jimbobsmods@outlook.com, and i'll take a look over the next few days. Please bear in mind that the log only records data for the most recent game session. So if you do want to send the log, you will need to ensure that this mod was installed and activated for the session your log relates to. Finally, please leave a note here once sent, as that email account is not monitored.

Hope this helps. :)
b9bot1 Dec 8, 2020 @ 11:05pm 
Kills the Cascadia beacons completely. Removed this mod and the beacons work again. So maybe some fine tuning is needed.
