Dear TruckersMP Community and TruckersMP Team,
Yes, it's that time again when I bring up the discussion about the speed of cars on Server 1. I am reopening this topic because I believe many players share my opinion, based on an Instagram comment I posted under one of your posts.
My comment received the most likes in months (if not even years) on your posts, which is why I think this topic needs to be discussed.
I am very unhappy with the current situation where trucks can drive as fast as cars. It is neither realistic nor enjoyable when you can't drive a car realistically.
Therefore, my suggestion is to change the speed limit for cars on highways and autobahns, allowing them to drive faster than trucks. Specifically, I propose that cars be allowed to drive up to 150 kph on highways and, on unrestricted sections of the german Autobahn, faster than 150 kph. Additionally, I am totally against removing the speed limit on backroads (like Duisburg-Calais), country roads, Landstraße and so on. However, on highways / Autobahn, it makes just sense to let cars drive faster than 110 kph, and it would not ruin the gameplay!
A point that players have mentioned is that cars are coded to be as heavy as trucks, and if they drive faster, they can cause trucks to fly off the road. It might be beneficial to code cars to be lighter for more realism, not just for faster speeds. I don’t know how you code the cars or if this is even possible, but it's worth considering.
Another argument for the current speed limit is that we can drive faster on Server 2. However, it's clear that the experience on Server 2 is not the same as on Server 1 due to the lack of players. This is why it is even more important to make this change on the main server.
I tihnk we all know, that this is a "Trucking Game" but you gave us the posibility to drive cars so we not only want to improve the truckers-gameplay but also the cars gameplay.
Please let me know your thoughts on this topic, and I hope the team isn't tired of this discussion!
Yours sincerely
