Information & credits

<<< Changes >>>

• Replaces default Alexander Dennis steering wheel with an authentic American steering wheel, found on American buses and trucks in real life, for all LHD variants of the OMSI 2 Addon Studio Polygon 400MMC DLC.

• Updates the visible timetable card position to be more appropriately placed on the American LHD steering wheel.

<<< Information for users & developers >>>

• The new American LHD steering wheel is fully animated ingame, and moves with the dashboard when its position is adjusted.

• Previews of the modification in-game & all options are available within the "Previews" folder of this archive.

<<< Known issues & common troubleshooting >>>

• If you look really closely at the American LHD steering wheel while turning it, you might notice it wobbles slightly.

--- Unfortunately this is an issue that I am simply unable to completely fix (despite dedicating 12 total hours to it), due to the nature of the steering wheel model.

--- When driving normally though, it shouldn't be noticeable, as I have been able to minimise the wobble substantially.
