About this mod
Real Icons replaces the game's bright floating markers with things you'd see in a real yard. Stopping points become painted STOP markings on the ground, and parking and trailer coupling spots get painted stripes that turn green when your truck or trailer is lined up correctly.
Delineator posts are weathered, with small amber lamps that pulse at night. It's made by Dacova, who also made the Volvo FH6 dashboard on this site, for 1.61, and has over 7,500 subscribers.
Features
- STOP markings painted on the ground
- Parking and coupling stripes with green alignment feedback
- Weathered marker posts with pulsing amber lamps at night
- Optional in Convoy when the server allows it
