Better Raindrops - ATS

Description
Hello! I'd like to share with you a mod aimed to improve raindrops appearance on windshield (and rain in general) and make game more realistic and immersive.

Key features:
  • Add new texture and significantly increase number of raindrops.
  • Improved physical behaviour of particles, now their spawn will be more affected by truck position relatively to rain inclination.
    It makes a huge difference and vastly improve perception of weather! Just try it yourself!
  • Reworked sound effects for wipers and rain
  • New car splash trails

Tweak these sliders to achieve comfortable sound level:
  • Rain inside, Wipers - Interior sounds volume
  • Rain outside - World sounds volume

IMPORTANT
If you want to increase number of raindrops on windshield (3x) install Truck Addon.
ONLY FOR ATS SCS TRUCKS! Modded trucks and interiors are INCOMPATIBLE.
DOWNLOAD TRUCK ADDON for 1.57 ONLY:

Mod is compatible with any other weather/sound mods, just give Better Raindrops a priority and place on top of others.

Known issues:
If you experiencing performance issues try to reduce traffic by entering console command g_traffic 0.5. Change the number to find optimal balance between amount of AI cars and your FPS in the rain.

Is it compatible with grimes weather?

Actually @avel I fixed it by putting the sound fix pack at highest priority. I have a hunch it’s jbx causing havoc amongst other stuff I’m gonna try removing it all together today. Not the happiest with that graphics mod as of late

@MrBadMae, just checked together with Louisiana DLC and all works fine for me. Do you have other weather/sound mods? Are they above/below Better Raindrops in Mod Manager?

No idea whats causing it but theres no rain sounds or thunder outside of the cab. 1.57 btw. Not sure if its just a bad ref to the base game thunder / rain sounds or what

@Avel is it? Fair enough lol weirdly though the wipers started working after hours of trying to figure out what was causing it but it was only happening on the Pete 389 every other truck had no issues with the rain sensor.

@BeastyBill88, 1.57 is just bugged, can't do anything about it :winter2019sadsnowman:
