Improved Suspension

Mod was initially uploaded on the SCS Forum, so I made the decision to upload it to the Steam Workshop for easier update.

Recommended values:

Truck stability - 20%
Cabin suspension stiffness - 35%
Suspension stiffness - 30%
Driveshaft torque - 27%
Braking intensity - 80%
Trailer stability - 35% (from v1.6)


Changelog:
v1.0 - Initial release

v1.1 - Adjusted cabin movement
- Reworked tire behavior in dry/wet conditions
- Improved torque converter behavior
- Fixed mod packaging

v1.2 - Cabin was too sprung, reduced spring rate
- Increased wheel slip factor for better traction

v1.3 - New physics file test

v1.4 - Reduced cabin weight
- Adjusted cabin sway bar value
- Adjusted wheel weight to match real-world 315/70
- Increased air resistance to realistic level
- Improved rolling resistance
- Slight adjustment to braking performance
- Steering ratio now matches real-world behavior
- Increased wheel visual lock for better realism

v1.5 - Made a mistake on cabin suspension travel value - reverted to the correct one
- Corrected cabin sway-bar factor
- Adjusted braking curve RPM value and brake balance
- Small decrease to 5th wheel pitch value

v1.6 - Fifth wheel pitch and roll updated to values based on JOST information
- Cabin pitch angle and roll updated to an average between Volvo FH16, SCANIA S, Mercedes New Actros (MP4) values
- Cabin Center-of-Gravity (CoG) value decreased slightly to better match real trucks
- Tire grip updated to values based on the Michelin X® LINE™ ENERGY™ and Goodyear FUELMAX D 315/70 R22.5 size
