Maybe they prevent a few crashes that way, thats my guess, especially on C-D, im sure the rest of the map is relatively safe... but it is nice that doubles are somehow limited like  IRL

@LordBenji - That's my main point though.  Sure, not everyone wants to play the same and I get that, but that is why single player exists.  If we want to play on the TruckersMP servers, we have to follow their rules.  They don't want double trailers outside of Scandinavia and the community should respect that.  Instead I've seen numerous posts with people whining that TruckersMP needs to change their rules and allow people to use the trailers anywhere.

 

@antrax 737 - From what I've driven, the doubles are perfectly driveable outside of Scandinavia.  The problem comes at the service stations when you F7 or when trying to pick up a load at a company that isn't designed for them.

I'd say it was beta bug.

@Edinev - With regards to my first status post, I can see that I need to put an "LOL" on the end.  I don't honestly care about the warning (hell, even if I get banned I will just go play one of 100+ other games in my Steam library), I just found it funny that I got one for telling someone they weren't special.  All you people flip out about anything potentially negative that could offend someone; I just laugh that people could care that much as to be offended because someone on the internet said something they didn't like.  It might just be my age but I remember a time when it was acts of violence and directed hatred that people cared about, not just words.

I'm not offended in any way don't worry. I actually don't really care about what you even wrote, I just stated what triggered the warning as well as explanations by using quotes.

well i play 30fps or so because graphics cards are expensive my dell 5675 does the job & its highly upgradable 

First, I just want to clarify I'm not referring to TruckersMP or the ETS or ATS games, my post was started from another game's community.  I'm just using the status message thingy on TMP as an outlet to laugh at players like that.

 

Like I said in my original post though, I understand others and their respective financial circumstances.   Not everyone is able to buy a top of the line PC and/or parts. Referencing what prompted me to make my post in the first place; if I report a bug that exists in 4K, but the majority of players only play in 1080 or less, that doesn't mean my bug is invalid and that it's worthy of shitposting on.  People/trolls trying to mock someone for being able to put thousands of dollars into something that they can't is something that I find funny, I just wish they could spend their time with constructive help instead of just trying to shit-talk people on the internet.

Redit in  nutshell

I probably should have listed every game I have but that would be quite a list.  While I appreciate the suggestion I've been playing World of Warships since the Alpha.  At this point I'm probably looking more towards indie games as I probably own all the mainstream ones.

Sadly, there are not very many good WW2 naval games out there.

 

This might be of some interest, I've been waiting on this simulator to release.

LoL, same here.  It's sitting on my wishlist waiting for it's release.  I'm hoping it's good, I'm always up for another Silent Hunter or Cold Waters.

^ Oh definitely, I'm not trying to bash on keyboard players (I started there myself).  I just find it surprising how many will use their control method to justify bad driving habits.  Typing while driving with a controller, wheel, keyboard, or mouse, is all the same.  It's still just distracted, reckless driving and could be solved by simply pulling over and stopping.

^ Same here, even if I had any bans I'd still display it as it's not the end of the world.

Pretty sure it's hidden by default for some time now, I know I had to set my history public. It's actually quite rare to see someone with public punishment history, cause most people just don't fiddle with account settings.

yes but i screwed up in 2015

 

and ive not had a ban since

 

and its 2019

 

also its my fault you can hide them

Googling "OBS input overlay" shows some interesting results and could be what you want. Also, defensive drving, such as swerving to avoid collision is something important that everyone should do, considering a collision may cause the vehicle to become uncontrollable and is best to avoid one if you can.

@Baratako  I've had issues with OBS causing some fullscreen issues in a few of my games, so I've generally steered clear.  I might have to look into it though.  Are there any other control/key overlays you can think of?

 

As for defensive driving, I already do drive defensively in-game, however I'm not going to start swerving and driving erratically around other players just because one player can't drive right.  If I swerved to avoid one player but crashed into a couple others, I'd still be at fault for causing that collision.  I drive the same way in-game as I do in real life.  According to the DOT unless physical contact is made with another vehicle, anything that happens will be your fault.  So if someone cuts you off and you swerve and crash your car/truck, it's your fault in the eyes of the law, not the fault of the other party. 

 

I honestly just find it funny that I was told I could have avoided the crash by braking earlier (despite already being on my brakes and in a turning lane with no prior visual of the other player), yet the player that ignored his yield and drove out in front of me was "trying to stop with the winter mod" (even though I was running it too).  It's not like this is a real crash and I'm looking at thousands of dollars in repairs so I honestly don't mind letting it go.  I've just always laughed at inconsistencies and find the admin's statement to be funny, especially since if this happened without the winter mod it would be a clear ban for reckless driving and ramming.

I'm not really an expert in OBS so I don't think I can help you much, sorry  

 

Also, the swerving that I mention should be done only if there are no other vehicles within your vicinity. What I said was a bit vague I admit, so let me rephrase it: "Defensive driving, such as swerving, should be practised if the driver believes that another driver will collide with his vehicle, as long as the swerving or any other defensive driving maneuvre doesn't cause problems with other road users, himself or even the driver causing the imminent collision". So yes, obviously you aren't going to avoid a collision so that you can collide with something else, that would be a redundant action.

 

Also, with the Winter Mod enabled, you should be expected to drive more cautiously. I'm not saying that you weren't, of course, but coming around an intersection, it would be a good idea to at least slow down. Again, not saying that you weren't, hell, maybe I would've crashed as well. Problem is: I don't know what exactly happened there, so I can merely offer you my insight. Nonetheless, I'm glad that situation was resolved without much hassle... well... at least no one was banned. Game Mods sometimes forget that we may make mistakes, we're all human, after all  

Slow down, keep 3x normal following distance, plus some luck in that you don't run into griefers who may or may not target you. I survived C-D with full server EU2 and winter mod today.

 

Too many players are just impatient and drive too fast for the condition.

 

About garage choice - please make a suggestion so developers can see.

@SprinterFS Definitely agree with too many driving faster than they should, C-D is perfectly doable as long as you drive properly for the weather.  

 

As for the garage choice, I had just noticed it as I was posting my status update.  ATS has been updated with the Oregon maps and I imagine ETS will as well, it's probably just due to the holidays.

The real question is will it actually come out, it's been in the works for years on a skeleton crew

I don't see why they'd release a Bus DLC into a truck simulation game.

 

Would be more suitable as a standalone using the same framework.

well some of us also dont want to.. we wait patiently for mwl and the dev team to update

And those players are fine.  I've just been laughing at the reddit posts or messages from my friends that have been freaking out because they can't get ETS2 to the right version, despite the TMP launcher having instructions.  There is nothing wrong with not understanding something or being confused, but there is no reason for some people to be throwing a tantrum on the internet about it.  It doesn't effect me in any way, just brings some humor to my day.

@S p a r k i e - Thanks for the answer, aside from save-editing my skins I've always stuck with stock trucks, so I hadn't considered that as an issue.

The below link will automatically embed the image in the status update for you.

Is that what you're trying to do?

I wasn't actually trying to embed the image, however I didn't know about the link, thank you for that.

I initially just wanted to start a cheeky argument that my truck looked the best.

Ok Kyle, whatever you say.

Ooo, you already know! 

They need to find a way to block the dam hacks from working, surely there must be a way! 

They are pretty smart, I've grown up with Collies since I was born and still own one now. 

Can't blame them for trying, not exactly an easy thing to get right, think how TMP started

its happened to me at least twice and both times i've had a truck plow into me

ats is up  but ets2 is down
