Suggestion Name: Realistic Server 1 Suggestion Description: I would like to propose a **Realistic Server 1** where you can only join if your realistic settings are all set to what you would find in real-life (minus the slight alterations to comply with the game-physics). Reality settings in ETS2 should be all set to the left: - Braking intensity - Truck stability - Trailer stability . Suspension stiffness - Cabin suspension stiffness This new server would equally require truckers to adhere to the road regulations of the specific country and to adhere to the speed limits of the in-game signalling. Truckers would have to comply with the traffic lights and arrows on the road would have to followed. No Overtaking zones would be exactly that. And fines issued by the in-game police would result in kicks and bans depending on a to be worked out penalty system. Any example images: No Why should it be added?: I enjoy driving around with Euro Truck Simulator 2 for various reasons. - It is relaxing - It is technically interesting when run with realistic settings - It gives me a small idea of the monotone but free life a trucker might enjoy - It compensates me for not being able to apply for a CE license in Switzerland because of a minor squint which impairs my stereoscopic sight. In the single-player game I generally obey speed limits where possible (there are some tricky spots where the speed limit changes without prior signalling) and the truck speed limiter takes care of the rest. I will stop at red lights even if there is no traffic and I will look before I start moving into a junction/intersection. In single-player mode I have a mod that increases the amount of traffic, so I can “enjoy” traffic jams and the occasional roadblocks. I mean this is what is part of a trucker’s life? I have realistic settings from what I can tell, and my 1.2 Billion in-game EUR have been amassed over a gaming period of 871 real-time hours which translates to 10'936 days and 8 hours of in-game time. I play with a steering wheel and every now and then I’ll turn on the SCANIA H-Shift pattern for my Scania R, 750 hp, 8x4, 12+2 gearbox. All-in-all up to now a rather enjoyable experience. I recently decided to join the online community of TruckersMP to experience the pleasure of trucking together with people that have a similar relationship with ETS2. I was looking forward to fellow truckers who respect each other and participate in a equally exhillerating online experience. I’ve already been playing for a couple of days and last night I hopped on to the SERVER 1 and had an assignment for Duisburg (GER). At first, I thought I might have joined the ARCADE server for some reason. Nobody cared about road regulations and speed limits. Overtaking took on a special art form where everything went. And red lights are just for decoration. Junctions blocked and everybody was pushing and ramming and overtaking. It looks like a lot of people seem to be online just for fun and not for the realistic part. I am proposing this, because I think there are a lot of truckers out there who think likewise and would enjoy the experience of fellow truckers giving way, stopping at red-lights and only overtaking where possible. Thanks for your time and I am looking forward to seeing you all online and to hearing your comments on my proposal.

I've seen the Australian guy explaining the parking of B-Doubles before. Great video. As for the realistic settings I go to the maximum. Reality settings in ETS2 should be all set to the left: - Braking intensity - Truck stability - Trailer stability - Suspension stiffness - Cabin suspension stiffness No more going round sharp bends at 80 km/h now. Sometimes it's a crawl at 50 km/h depending on what you've got loaded. Happy trucking guys and stay safe.
