ATS Mods American Truck Simulator Mods

The 1.58 update for ETS2 and ATS introduces one of the biggest driving‑feel upgrades in years, bringing smoother steering, improved input handling, and more realistic vehicle response for keyboard, controller, and wheel users. These changes make trucks feel heavier, more predictable, and more natural to control across all devices.

🕹️ Input Handling Improvements
– Smoother steering curves for all control types (keyboard, controller, wheel)
– Reduced input latency, making steering feel more direct and responsive
– Better fine‑control at low speeds, especially useful in depots and tight turns
– Improved deadzone behavior for analog sticks and steering wheels

🚛 Steering & Vehicle Response
– More natural steering return‑to‑center
– Refined force feedback for supported wheels
– Improved stability when counter‑steering
– Better tracking during lane changes and overtaking

🏗️ Physics Integration
These new controls work together with the 1.58 physics overhaul, which includes:
– More realistic weight transfer
– Improved suspension compression & rebound
– Better tire grip behavior
– More accurate collision response

🎮 Keyboard Players Benefit the Most
– Smoother auto‑centering
– More predictable steering assist
– Optional double‑tap throttle for hill starts (ETS2)
