Backing & Lane Prediction v1.0 (ETS2)

Reverse guide lines When you shift into reverse, two colored lines sprout from the rear corners of your trailer—or from the cab if you’re bobtailing. Red marks the first 3 m, yellow stretches to 8 m, and green reaches out to 15 m, with tick marks at each transition. Because they’re real world objects, they show up in every camera view and in the mirrors, and they follow your exact wheel angles, lift‑axle setups, or multi‑steer rigs. Single, double and triple trailers work, including self‑steering axles, and you can tweak distance and height in the .ini file.
Forward line for lane positioning In forward gear a faint, transparent blue line shoots ahead from the centre of your front axle, tracing the truck’s future path. It’s about 25 m long at low speed and extends to 40 m on the highway, curving with the steering so you can keep perfectly centered in your lane. The line ignores any attached trailer, letting the truck’s own trajectory guide you.
Keyboard shortcut Press Ctrl+Shift+F9 to cycle through four modes: forward line only, reverse lines only, both, or nothing. Your last choice sticks between sessions, and you can reassign the hotkey in the settings file.
Requirements ETS2 1.61 or newer, Windows 64‑bit.
Settings & troubleshooting A full user guide ships with the plugin. The ini file (Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\ats_reverse_overlay.ini) is created on first run; changes apply instantly. A log file records loading status and hotkey mode. If nothing appears, verify the DLL is in the correct folder and the mod is enabled, then hit the hotkey. Unsigned DLLs may be blocked by Windows Smart App Control or antivirus software.
