• All pressure units set consistently to bars (data, animation, dashboard UI).
• Nominal air_tank_pressure value added to chassis data.
• Changed interior animations: all air, oil and brake pressure (gauges, indicators).
• New interior animation: trailer axle lift (indicator), differential lock (button, indicator).
• New engine data: resistance_torque (measured at 2000rpm).
• Coin sound made moddable in the same way as other sounds (through ogg file).
