Since ETS 2 1.26.x has been released something is messed up with the traffic. Increased spawn rates in combination with additional traffic packs do not work properly anymore, produces annoying micro stuttering related to a lot of "<WARNING> License plate slots were depleted!" warnings written in the gamelog and engine starts spawning vehicles without license plates, even though SCS added more than 800 slots for license plates. If you are using this traffic mods and all traffic packs by Jazzycat, be aware spawning trucks including trailer causes stuttering, the game engine doesn´t bear it well. So you got to decite: a nice traffic experience or good performance. Until the game engine doesn´t use DX11 we have to cope with it.
I also put another bonus addon for Jazzycat´s Russian Traffic Pack into the package: engine sounds for all Kamaz trucks (see my avatar) in traffic. Enjoy
Features:
- day time related spawning: barely traffic in the night, more traffic at rush hour time
- adjusted spawn factors on road lane types
- supports Drive Safely´s Sound Fixes Pack
- intented to work with all traffic packs by Jazzycat including TDU2 traffic pack enabled
- better chances to see trains and trams in France
- bonus file added for all appreciators of Jazzycat´s Brazilian Traffic pack: it fixes spawning behaviour on all maps / load it after Jazzycat´s base file
- bonus addon Kamaz engine sounds for all russian ai Kamaz trucks
- improved adjustment of spawning behaviour
- more daytimes with differing values defined

Important: be aware there are a lot of these license plate warnings on vanilla map, Promods and TSM. If you need a complete gamelog, you can use this command line parameter below in the code window since the game cuts the log after it reached 1MB size.
