Suggestion Name: Ability to Map joystick buttons to Citizens Band (CB) functions
Suggestion Description: I would like the ability to map a joystick (Or Keyboard) button to the following TruckersMP functions.
1. Power On/Off CB Radio
2. Volume up / Down of CB Radio
3. Switch Channel (Up/down) of CB Radio
Any example images: I am not sure how I would provide photos. I think it is a code modification.
Why should it be added?: I think the CB radio is a great function of the TruckersMP program. Adding these features will add to the usability and enjoyment of the program/CB. Many of us have button boxes that have rotary encoders and these functions can be mapped to that to increase the realism. In the past week I have had a desire to turn off the CB and the ability to turn it back on easily when needed. I would like to be able to change channels on the fly. I think that would increase the usage of the CB in game and greatly increase the versatility and the immersion of the simulation aspect of TruckersMP.
Thank you for your consideration

Patreon Benefit suggestion
in Completed
Posted
In my professional life I previously was a Director of Network Operations for a City (12 years) . I get the cost of what I am suggestion. Now I am an Exec for a Non Profit media company that has members (7 years) so I am constantly thinking of ideas for revenue generation now . I think I have an idea for here that will add to the user experience as well as generate some significant revenue that will offset the cost of the suggestion as well as provide a higher stream of cash flow.
Suggestion Name: Patreon Anti-Idle Timer Benefit. (Yes I know stick with me)
Suggestion Description: I would suggest that the Master Trucker level $5 per month get a 1 hour anti-idle timer.
Any example images: Not needed it is a concept.
Why should it be added?: Immersion, I REALLY enjoy sitting at a truck stop and hearing other truckers go by. Also I am 50 years old. 10 minutes isnt enough for me to go to the bathroom and get a cup of coffee. I might want to stop and google something I just saw in the scenery or some idea I just thought of. I like the idea of having an hour before I get kicked. It gives me some time I mean frankly. I think 20 minutes would suffice for 99% of my needs but I think a hour is a good number. Maybe give the other tiers some more time? I think this is a really good tangible benefit for patreon members and I think it will drive donor numbers. I have seen the topic mentioned before in the regular suggestions but never in here. (I searched to make sure my idea is unique) I get it. Bandwidth costs money. Extra people on the network creates more traffic. You guys pay per the resources consumed. You are very attuned to keeping TruckersMP quick responsive and reliable. I do not mind paying 5 bucks a month. I don't think I would be generating anywhere near the 5 dollar amount in extra traffic. I have seen the idea get shot down before and it makes sense. people idling costs money. That is why I think the Master Trucker level should get this 1 hour timer. You probably have some coding to do but this way is pretty simple.
5 dollars is a steal for the entertainment you guys offer. Thank you for your consideration.
