MotionCab Dynamic Head-Motion for ATS and ETS2 – this advanced open-source plugin by aefly adds realistic dynamic head-motion and camera effects to American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2.

– 🔧 Engine Vibration – RPM-scaled engine buzz
– 🪞 Mirror Check – automatic look toward mirrors when using turn signals
– 👀 Manual Look – smooth look left / look right
– 🛣️ Road Irregularity – ground chatter + off-road rocking
– 💨 Speed Shake – body sway that increases with speed and rough surfaces
– 🏋️ Body Dynamics – head leans outward in corners and nods when braking
– 🔑 Engine Start/Stop shudder
– 🔍 Manual Zoom
– 🚦 Blindspot Viewer – lean forward to see traffic lights
– 📁 Profiles system (save & switch presets)
– 🌐 Available in 15 languages
– ⚙️ Fully customizable and toggleable effects
Changes in v1.1:
Added
– 🗣️ MotionCab is now available in 15 languages: Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Turkish, and Ukrainian
– 🎥 Steering Camera now features separate maximum rotation angles for left and right turns, replacing the previous single rotation setting
– 🔄 Steering Camera can now remain centred while reversing, smoothly returning to centre instead of following the steering wheel. It automatically resumes normal behaviour when leaving reverse gear (enabled by default)
– 🎯 Added a new Center Zone setting for Steering Camera, allowing small steering corrections to move the camera equally in both directions before transitioning to independent left and right rotation limits
– 🚦 Added a new Blindspot Viewer effect. Press F10 to lean forward and look past the windshield pillar, making hidden traffic lights easier to see. Includes adjustable position, rotation, FOV changes, smoothing, and toggle/hold modes
– 👀 Added a new Natural Head Movement effect that simulates TrackIR-style movement without requiring head-tracking hardware. Your character subtly adjusts posture, trembles naturally, and leans into corners while driving
– 🚶 Added a new Cabin Walk feature. Once parked, press Page Up to stand up and walk around the cabin using:
• W / A / S / D = Movement
• C = Crouch
• Passenger and bunk seating support
• Footstep sound effects included
– 🪞 Manual Look can now glance directly at the left or right mirrors using Numpad 7 and Numpad 9, with individual angle and tilt settings for each side
