  1. Suggestion Name: Tweak the town speed limiter/ Town boundaries Suggestion Description: While i fully agree with the new town speed limiter of 60kph , i believe that it should be tweaked a bit for example Stockholm and Odence , Take Odence for starters , your on the motorway (with the town either side of you ) because of this the motorway is classed as a town boundary which means your limited to the new speed limit for towns , even though you are not in the town you are on the motorway which separates the town on both hillsides next to you so either the town boundaries has to be tweaked or the limiter for that motorway , the same can be said about Stockholm , you are above the town when going on the motorway however it still classes you as being in the town. Any example images: none (however i can get examples if needed) Why should it be added?: The motorways are totally separate to the towns and dont affect them, so the town boundaries either need to be tweaked or the town speed limiter needs to be removed from the affected sections (more towns may be affected , i cant say as Odence and Stockholm are on my main routes)

      yea ATS is a challenge for those who are not use to it but are use to ETS2. 

  3. Seems this is a thing , i just did my first WOT job (uppsala to rostock) and decided to go to EU1 (normally play on EU3) to do it all was fine till i went through malmo , never hit or touched anything yet tractor took 27% damage and trailer kept pinging me that it was taking 0% damage.
  4. Wtf OHLE (OverHead Line Equipment  trucks lol what will they think of next 

     

  5. But if the staff are driving the convoy , who will be there directing the convoy
  6. The DLC Schwarzmuller trailers arnt actually in the economy , what you need to do is take a job, then when you get to the place your picking the trailer up from press enter and in the picture with the trailer you will see a cog icon , Click on that and you can select the design of trailer you want to take , sometimes its the black trailer sometimes the white , also on some short routes you cant change the trailer to a Schwarzmuller. Hope that helps All the best Blackrider
  7. The new 150kph speedlimit that has been put on all servers enables your game speedlimiter (could be a glitch or something with game code ) but even with the speed limiter ticked you should be able to go up to the new speed limit of 150kph.
  8. Yes this topic can now be locked i will create a feedback ticket to a CM with the attachments i need deleted. All the best Blackrider
  9. Ok so i just tried to post a pic in a topic and it gave me a warning that i have reached my limit , so i went into my attachments and i have this message ( You have used 486.33 kB of your 500 kB attachment limit.) under a % bar which is at 97%. My question is is this a monthly limit (eg at the start of next month i will get another 500kb limit) or is this permanent The reason i ask this is because if its permanent then it could be classed as a bug with the website ( I cant delete old pictures as they are in threads that are now locked and im unable to edit my messages to remove the images) All the best Blackrider
  10. (I posted this in a now trashed topic so for anyone who didn't see it i will post it here ) The reason so many people are saying go to EU1 is simple:- EU1 is the simulation server ( Speed limiter:- Enabled , Cars:- Disabled , Collision:- Enabled) EU2 is non-simulation with cars ( Speed limiter:- Disabled , Cars:- Enabled , Collision:- Enabled ) EU3 is Non simulation without cars ( Speed limiter:- Disabled , Cars:- Disabled , Collision:- Enabled) EU4 is free for all ( Speed limiter:- Disabled , Cars:- Enabled , Collision:- Disabled So i see both sides of the story , On one hand what gives the people who want a simulation server, but dont want to go to EU1 ,the right to demand a limiter on the non limited servers and tell the speeders to go to EU4 , if you want to go for simulation go to the simulation server dedicated to that purpose (Aka EU1) , On the other hand what gives the speeders the right to tell everyone to go to EU1 . Lets say for instance, we say ok this is a simulation game meant to simulate real life ok , In the UK Trucks are limited to 56mph, however i have been in a truck before (with a recently calibrated speedometer ) and we were doing 56mph however a truck passed us like we were literally stood still (he was easily breaking the roads car limit of 70mph ) so even in real life you get people who break the rules of the road , hell i will fully admit i speed when ever i go out on the motorbike , so even if this game was simulating real life , there should be no limiter on the non limited servers ( EU2,3,4) it may be a simulation but its still just a game at the end of the day. With all the above being said i can see the argument for having a limiter on, it will cut down on reckless driving , not so much accidents as i believe what will happen now is people will be fighting each other to get in front (eg ramming other trucks ect ) so they can get the lead and the person they rammed cant catch back up , Yes it means extended driving times but at 150kph you should be able to control your Truck a lot easier and come to a stop faster in an emergency. so as with everything there will always be pros and cons there will always be people who agree and people who disagree with what happens , at the end of the day that's what makes us all human and individuals , As for people saying if you want speed play f1 or something , what they don't understand is f1 is a car , people want to go fast in a truck something that isn't designed for speed, it isnt in a racing game its unique (personally i use speed in ETS2 to get from Palermo to Uppsala in 2hrs , real time gameplay , anymore that 2 hrs playing the same game gets boring for me.) So yes to summarise i see both sides of the argument , Pros and cons for having a limiter , Why people want it and why people don't , But this time around we don't have a choice in the matter (personally i'm semi ok with the 150kph as that's the speed i used to do anyway before i knew how to alter my truck , but if EU4 does become no limiter , then i will happily hop over there from time to time to get a speed fix. Also the reason so many people are complaining is mainly human nature , Your removing a freedom that they once had , Its the same with everything you remove someones freedom to do something (be it the right choice or not) People will always fight and complain about the issue , Again its what makes us human and individuals. I hope what i have said above helps both sides of the argument understand the other sides a bit better. Take care , All the best and Happy trucking. Blackrider
  11. Right time for sleeps ive been up way to long lol 

  12. BlackriderUK

    55mph?

    @Prushn The global speed limiter isnt your issue as you say you can only do 55mph (the global speed limiter is 150kph which is 93mph)
  13. @Prushn No that isnt the reason for your speed limiter issue (150kph is 93mph not 55mph)
  14. BlackriderUK

    55mph?

    @Prushn Can i ask what server you play on also do you know about the remove limiter in game settings and multiplayer tab settings? It could be a number of things causing this :- You could have a external trailer job (they have limited speeds) You could have the speed limiter enabled in game settings or the multiplayer tab settings
  15. Ahh you mean the turn on your headlights rule , what you did wrong in that situation is you carried on moving (the auto kick only enables if your truck is in motion ) what you should have done was pull to the side of the road stopped your truck and pressed f7 to go to a garage to repair. Regrettably that's where the game dosn't fully recreate real life , As with most vehicles you can still have the headlights on even with the engine off.
  16. Sorry to say but what you said made absolutely no sense whatsoever , So you will have to explain it better , Also the link to the video is a dead link (the Video has been deleted)
  17. Yes this topic can now be closed as there is no longer any use for it.
  18. Ok while i appreciate all your replies so far , The only person who has read my post was @M ? G ? D ? T H (even if they did do it in a quote which was strange), Please if your going to comment on posts please at least read the OP post , If you had indeed read my starting post you would have noticed that , I cant be driving a WOT trailer as i am able to disable the speed limiter in single player , Also you would have read that i have in fact disabled the speed limiter but every time i join the server it goes back on and stays on (150kph speed limit), me and a friend have tried this on all servers and every server currently has that speed limiter enabled (even if it says on the server status page that there is no speed limiter), even @M ? G ? D ? T H has said that they had the 150kph speed limiter on EU 2 (which as EU3 has no limiter enabled), That's why in my post i was asking staff if it was part of the April fools joke , a bug or a permanent thing , But please read posts before you comment in future as it just leads to nothing. Anyway rant over All the best Blackrider
  19. Just curious as i cant seem to disable to truck speed limiter , Have the upper staff put the truck speed limiter enabled on EU3 as a april fools joke (i have gone into single player and disabled the truck speed limiter , however when i join EU3 like i normally do i cant seem to turn the limiter off , everytime i go into settings and disable it , then go into drive , it then re enables it. All the best Blackrider
  20. Hiya @[WT] AlexXX Thank you for the prompt reply , i believe that answers my question so this topic can now be closed Take care and all the best Blackrider
  21. This seems to not really fit in with in game bugs (and it could be that im overlooking something anyway) , I changed my in game name from Crazyladuk to Blackrideruk ( nearly 2 months ago) Yet on the ETS2 MAP i am still showing on my old name , i have looked at other users who have changed their names and the map is showing their updated name , so my question is why is mine still showing my old name ( my forum name and in game name are both BlackriderUK) so is it a bug or does it take my name from somewhere else. All the best Blackrider P.S. sorry for all the questions lately but i tend to like to learn the reasons to things
  22. Yep this question has now been solved thank you guys for your time All the best and happy trucking Blackrider
  23. OH yeh i can understand that , i only drive like that if there are no other players in my line of sight or on my tab menu , the second i see a player show up in my tab menu or in my line of sight on my side of the road , i hit the brakes slow down to 50mph and return to lane 1 , untill its either a 3 lane road where i can safely pass with a lane between us , or the other player shows me a sign i can pass (eg turns on their indicator or pulls over while staying at their speed ) other than that i will match their speed and stick behind them at a super far distance (between 200-300) so to account for lag incase i need to make avoiding action.
  24. Ok so i have had a question that's been eating me for a while now so lets see if any of the team can clear this up for me , I have a full UK motorcycle licence , and have done advanced riding with the UK police , I was always taught on both my test and on the police rider course that aslong as it is safe and clear to do so then use all the road to your advantage (eg make corners straighter use every lane you can ect) however doing this while an outsider watches really looks like reckless driving as your swerving from lane to lane , taking corners less sharp ect , i have adopted my riding technique into my ETS2 truck driving , so my question is lets say one night i am using the technique (the road is fully clear no other players in the area) and an admin is watching me swerving from lane to lane , taking corners less sharp ect , and think well this looks reckless , would i get banned for driving like that , even though i was taught by the UK police to ride like it .
  25. Thank you for all your replies , i just had to do a ETS2 update for multiplayer (so i had to update both ETS2 and ATS ) it went through no problem this time (again didn't change anything ) so my guess is it was something wrong with the update , as it just updated fine (i have all my firewalls and everything back on ) Can a mod now lock this topic as the problem has now been fixed. All the best Blackrider
