About this mod
This mod reworks the digital SmartDash in SCS's Scania trucks, using videos of the real dashboard as a guide. You get new pages for vehicle information with an odometer and for time until your next rest, trip time and remaining navigation time. The speed limit is shown on every page and is easier to read, and a distance bar turns green when cruise control is on.
The navigation screen gets a new home page with your arrival time and next rest, a working compass, and the small clock back in the top corner. Icons for truck and trailer lift axles and the engine brake are added too. Some parts are fixed pictures rather than live values, because the game doesn't let mods read everything, and the author still calls it a work in progress.
It works from 1.57 up to 1.61. On its Workshop page the author says it isn't ready for 1.62 yet, with an update planned for around 11 November 2026, so wait for that update if you've already moved to 1.62. Over 50,000 players subscribe to it.
