notwithstanding that the trailers all have a defined mass, in vehicle\trailer\definition\xxxx.sii files, the mass appears to be in some odd units and doesn't seem to make any difference anyway. Trailer masses seem to go from about 1000 up to about 4000, but setting one to 150000 makes next-to-no difference in-game, a 205hp truck can still haul it up hill at 50 mph.
I'm trying to get more difference between empty and loaded truck performance here. The loaded trucks seem to go much better than they have any right to, especially the lower power ones, compared with real-life speeds.
Is the mass of cargo defined anywhere? can't see it. That would make sense, if the trailer masses are empty trailers.
Unless of course the game simply has a fixed performance adjustment for "trailer present". Low-power trucks *are* slower with a trailer, just not much slower.
