: The update ensured that if you join a modded session, your vanilla profile data remains safe from corruption. 2. Force Feedback Overhaul

This new system moves away from artificial "rumble" effects to realistic physics calculations. Centering and tire friction are now based on real-world forces applied to the first steering axle, simulating the behavior of a modern hydraulic steering gear. This allows you to feel subtle shifts in resistance when driving on straight roads versus taking tight bends, bridging the gap between ETS2 and high-end racing simulators.

For players using steering wheels, version 1.42 was a revelation. SCS completely rebuilt the force feedback (FFB) system from the ground up, running it on a separate 120Hz refresh loop rather than the main game logic.

If you run modded convoys:
