– 🖥️ Realistic Thermo King SLXi controller with animated startup, shutdown, and menus
– 🌡️ Temperature setpoint range: -20°C to +20°C (or -4°F to +68°F)
– 🔄 CONTINUOUS and CYCLE-SENTRY operating modes
– 🚀 TURBO mode for large temperature differences
– ❄️ Smooth heating/cooling with ambient temperature effects
– ⏱️ Game-time tracking (unit continues working during rest/time skip)
– 🚪 Door modes (closed, open, dock) affecting temperature change
– ⛽ Separate 190 L reefer fuel tank per trailer
– 📊 Realistic fuel consumption based on mode and conditions
– 🧠 Trailer-ID memory (fuel level and engine hours saved)

About this Mod
Changes in v1.2.18 (1.60.x):
- A realistic Thermo King SLXi controller with animated startup, shutdown, configuration, and menu screens.
- Unit control through ON, OFF, SET POINT, MENU, and contextual soft keys.
- Temperature setpoint range from -20 to +20 C or from -4 to +68 F.
- Celsius/Fahrenheit switching directly from the controller menu.
- Two operating modes:
- CONTINUOUS - the unit runs continuously;
- CYCLE-SENTRY - the unit stops after reaching the setpoint and restarts automatically when temperature drifts.
- TURBO mode when chamber temperature differs significantly from the setpoint.
- Smooth chamber heating and cooling with thermostat variation and ambient-temperature effects.
- Game-time tracking: when time is skipped during rest in ETS2/ATS, the unit still consumes fuel and changes chamber temperature as if that time actually passed.
- Realistic thermal loss: when the unit is off or out of fuel, chamber temperature gradually moves toward ambient temperature.
- Door modes: doors closed, doors open, and dock operation. Open doors speed up the thermal change.
- A separate 190-litre reefer fuel tank for every trailer.
- Fuel consumption based on operating mode, temperature, and engine activity.
- Trailer-ID memory: fuel level and engine hours are retained for every previously used trailer.
- Refuelling with a fuel-level indicator and sound effect.
- Empty-tank behavior: the unit engine stops and chamber temperature begins to react to ambient conditions.
- Realistic startup, running, and shutdown sounds.
- Separate inside-cab and outside volume controls.
- Automatic sound response when leaving the cab, leaning out of the window, and moving the external camera away from the reefer.
- Trip pause: save the panel state while parked and continue after loading the next game session.
- Separate ETS2 and ATS profiles: temperature units, fuel, operating mode, and paused state never mix between games.
- Trailer compatibility checks and compact service information in the lower status area.
- Windows tray icon: open the panel, start or stop the local server, view the version, or exit.
- Installer for ETS2 and ATS with automatic Steam installation detection.
- The panel appears in Windows Installed apps and supports standard uninstallation.
