  1. Can something be done with the servers because Europe 2 ETS2 is getting very full with over 3490 players logged in and a queue of 200.  One suggestion would be to remove the speed limit enabled on Europe 1 ETS2 temporary and see if more go over to that server to relieve Europe 2 ETS2 hopefully admin and developers will read this and give it a try because everyone is piling on Europe 2 ETS2 because of the limiter and if removed might encourage some to go over to that one. I tried to get on EU2 today and was hopeless and kept say tomany in a queue and try another server and going on another server where there is only 300 or 400 plays you never see anyone else and feels like a ghost town.   What is the Europe [Trial Test Rules]ETS2 server for. 

    Moderators if you're reading this please move this topic to the appropriate place forum.

    Edit / update : Europe 2 ETS2 server is always full so when I and other try to use it we get a message telling us the queue is too big because the queue is 200 because 3486 players are using that server because there is no speed limiter in use and can use cars. What I am suggesting is for a trial period remove the speed limiter from Europe 1 ETS1 server and allow cars and see if it reduces the amount of users on Europe 2 ETS2 server and some of those users who use Europe 2 ETS2 server logon to Europe 1 ETS1 server and half are on Europe 1 ETS1 server and half are Europe 2 ETS2 server.  If I log on to Europe 1 ETS1 server I never see anybody and feels like a ghost town. I hope this helps Moderators understand.  I also think this should be placed in the appropriate place and developers or I.T. should consider it and ask what others think of the idea to see what feedback they get. 

     

  2. I would like to make a suggestion if this is the correct place. Is it  possible that we could have our own logo name on the cars for example the scout car as scout and my virtual company name is McGistics I would like to be able to that and I'm sure many other would to and still have the restriction in place to provent the word police on the cars. It would make it more fun also on the truck to. 

  3. Any have problems with trucks stopping dead in front when traveling. Is the synchronization problem with server and other player. This problem as happened a lot resulting in severe 80% damage to my truck. I keep a good distance from the other truck but its a pain in the neck Its happens on both Euro Truck Simulator 2 Multiplayer and  American Truck Simulator Multiplayer. Can this be fixed. 

     
  4. For some reason to 16 /2/2016 American Truck Simulator Multiplayer will not start I get a message saying unsupported game version detected! tp play you need v.1.1.0.8s [f84fd2f0a569] !. Single player mode starts ok. i downloaded and installed client_20710 last night and work ok until today. I noticed American Truck Simulator Simulator was in an update queue on my steam account. Any know what going on.

    I know this is only a game and a lot of kids use it and will not understand the rules or road signs but common sense prevails as I know myself because I hold a full Uk Driving Licence for past 15 years yes I am old enough because I was born 1972 and the other one is In the UK we drive on the Left side of the Road and not on the Right. I myself make errors when using this game when I go from dover to france and forget I must drive on the right. the only thing I find confusing in is kilometers per hour because we have Miles Per Hour. It's a fun and enjoyable game even at my age. I use the G27 steering system in full Manual mode with 12 gear splitter set. I also have an understanding of Lorrys as I was a drivers mate for 3 and half years so that helps. But Please Please Please all you youngsters have a little respect as we plus 40's are a little less responsive and not as fast you young lads and ladies and our eyes sight is not as good. I can tell you the look and layout is a lot like the inside of a lorry but the feel of driving is not there just a little on the steering so well done to the developers of ETS2 and ETS2MP.   Feel free to comment to my reply I won't bite.

     

     

    FULL BEAM HEADLIGHTS USE

    Full beam headlight use during daylight hours
    Full beam headlights still cause significant dazzle to other road users even during the day. If the daylight is somewhat subdued due to weather conditions, opt for sidelights or dipped headlights instead of full beams.

    Guide to using full main beam headlights

    Full beam on a motorway or dual carriageway
    Whilst driving on a empty motorway or dual carriageway late at night, it is perfectly acceptable to use full beams as this increases your viewing distance. You must however switch to dipped headlights as soon as you see an approaching vehicle on the opposite carriageway. Full beam, or high beam headlights illuminate at a distance of around 350 feet (106 metres), almost double of dipped headlights that illuminate at a distance of around 160 feet (48 metres). Dazzle can extent much further up to around 1000 feet (305 metres).

    Full beam headlights in fog
    Whilst driving in fog, use dipped headlights only along with front fog lights if you have them. Dipped headlights are angled towards the road and will illuminate further than full beam headlights in fog. Full beam headlights angle is higher and will therefore shine directly into the fog and most of the light will reflect back towards the driver. See driving in fog for further advice.

    Following other vehicles
    Following other vehicles requires the use of dipped headlights only. The use of full beams will dazzle drivers in front in their mirrors.

    WHEN TO USE MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS

    There’s no law or legal requirement to use main beam headlight at any time. In fact, with the ever increasing amount of vehicles on UK reads, it’s often easier to use only dipped headlights as you’ll find yourself constantly switching between the two.

    If you do prefer to use main beams due to the increased visibility, it’s perfectly acceptable to use them on any road unlit by street lamps and on dual carriageways and motorways during the hours of darkness.

    FULL BEAM HEADLIGHTS SYMBOL

    When your full beam headlights are activated, a blue symbol will illuminate on your cars dashboard. This symbol is used to make you aware of full beams so you can switch to dipped headlights when necessary. See dashboard warning lights for common symbols including the full beam headlights symbol.

    HIGH / MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHT LAWS

    Dazzling other road users and not switching to dipped headlights at the appropriate time is hazardous and can potentially cause accidents. Driving with only one dipped headlight has it’s own dangers, it is however safer for other road users to drive with only a single dipped headlight and not full beam headlights.

    There are no penalties directly associated with main beam headlights. Inappropriate use where putting others at risk may however see a driver charged with possibly driving without due care and attention or driving without reasonable consideration for other road users, both having penalty points of 3 to 9 and a fine imposed by a court.

    DAZZLED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE

    Another vehicles headlights can dazzle you at night. Even dipped headlights can dazzle if a vehicle is rounding a corner or moving over a crest of a hill. If you are dazzled by headlights, avoid staring at the light and slow down or stop if necessary.

     

        HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS WHILST DRIVING

    Highway Code rules states that you MUST NOT use hazard warning lights while driving or being towed unless you are on a motorway or unrestricted dual carriageway and you need to warn drivers behind you of a hazard or obstruction ahead.

    When to use hazard warning lights

    WHEN IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS WHILST DRIVING

    Whilst driving on motorways and dual carriageways at high speed, reaching hazards or obstructions ahead happens quickly. Activating hazard warning lights provides drivers behind that a hazardous situation is ahead.

    WHEN IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS WHILST DRIVING

     If you are moving slowly in particular, it may seem courteous and perhaps even common sense to activate your hazard warning lights. Problems arise however when you intend on changing direction, junctions and lanes as an inability to signal due to hazard lights being activated will become highly dangerous as motorists will have no way of knowing which direction you intend on taking.

    Another situation when it may seem appropriate to use hazard warning lights is if you are moving much slower that other traffic because you are looking for a building, are lost or are unsure where you are going. Again this renders your indicators ineffective and causes confusion to other motorists. If you find yourself in this situation and are becoming stressed, do not use your hazard warning lights and instead pull over if possible or find a legal place to stop to wait for traffic to subside.

    HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS WHILST STATIONARY  

    Hazard warning lights may be used when a vehicle is stationary and is causing a temporary obstruction to other traffic. In regards to the law, the use of hazard warning lights used as an excuse for parking illegally or dangerously will not lessen the offence.

    WHEN IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS WHILST STATIONARY

    The decision to activate hazard warning lights whilst stationary must be decided depending on each situation. A vehicle may for example be parked with the hazard warning lights activated. The left (nearside) indicators could be obscured by other parked vehicles or objects giving the impression that the vehicle intends to pull out, ultimately causing more of a potential hazard than if the hazards were not activated. It’s important to ensure that the use of hazard lights help other road users and not further confuse matters.

    WHEN TO USE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS

    Hazard warning lights should be used only when:

    • your vehicle has broken down in a hazardous or dangerous location that may affect other traffic
    • your vehicle has broken down on the motorway and has stopped on the hard shoulder
    • you are traveling on a motorway or unrestricted dual carriageway and you intend on warning following drivers of a hazard or obstruction ahead

    HAZARD LIGHT FINES AND PENALTIES

    Although there isn’t a penalty directly associated with the inappropriate use of hazard lights, penalties and fines may apply due to the circumstances involving the reasons for using your hazard lights inappropriately

      UK TRAFFIC LIGHTS SEQUENCE EXPLAINED

    traffic-lights-sequence.jpg

    • Red traffic light
      A vehicle must stop just behind the white stop line at traffic light.
    • Red and amber traffic lights
      Also means stop but can prepare to go. A vehicle must not pass through the lights until the green light is illuminated.
    • Green traffic light
      When the light turns green, you may proceed providing the way is clear.
    • Amber traffic light
      When a single amber light is illuminated, you must prepare to stop just before the first white line. You may only proceed through an amber is you have just crossed the stop line as it changes or are too close to the stop line that stopping may cause an accident.
