FSX-Fan2014

It cancels all previous restrictions not only speed or overtaking. In Germany this sign only cancels restrictions for speed and overtaking. There also only signs where you have only a cancelled speed or overtaking restriction, but nothing else. And on country roads/motorways you won't find a lot of other possible restrictions

Thanks for your pictures RayRay5. If you wish I include this in the first post withing the next days (with credits).

Hello, My old post is put in the trash by the admins which is quite sad as many people appreciated this post. As I see a lot of people who seem to be unable to drive respectful and careful, I wrote this little guide to explain how to drive. I know that the most trolls and idiots won't see this thread and most of you already know what I will write. That's why it's so important that you share this with all the people who need this guide. I still hope that the Admins also notice how important this is for our game experience and that they will include these rules in the in-game rules at least as recommendation to make this more public. General information: Do not use your airhorn for every tiny little ****. It should only be used in dangerous situations for you or others. Of course you can greet your friends, but please not to greet every truck you see. The most stupid thing I have ever seen are people overtaking on the left or right during a traffic jam. Guys, it doesnt make ANY sense! I don't know whats going on in your mind. There is a reason why you get in a traffic jam and when you try to get to the beginning of this jam you still have to wait there. And when you drive on the opposite lane you only endanger the oncoming traffic and it makes everything worse than it already is. This is especially for the traffic jams at Europoort. When a lane ends the in Germany so called zipper procedure applies. It works like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Hinweiszeichen_23c.svg/220px-Hinweiszeichen_23c.svg.png If possible, only pull out on a T-Junction if you not cause the other drivers to slow down. If they have to slow down because of you, wait for them. If you see somebody wanting to join the road and he can pull out fast enough in front of you flash your high beams or light horn to let him know that you are giving way. This is very useful on country roads and also sometimes in the city, when there are no signs or traffic lights. Thanks to xOceanSpirit for this tip. You should keep a distance to the preceeding vehicle of at least the half of the speed in metres. For example if you are driving with 80km/h you should have a distance of at least 40 metres. But I always recommend to have a higher distance as the synchronization is buggy sometimes and trucks might stop isntantly and then you have no time to react. Behaviour in the city In most cities the speed limit is 50 km/h, sometimes also just 30 km/h. These speed restrictions are not there for fun, so please drive as you are supposed to If there is NO sign indicating priority for YOU, you always have to give way to everybody who comes from the right. Only if there are signs or a traffic light indicating priority, you may drive before the others. But this needs YOU to respect these signs and to drive according to these signs otherwise it doesn't make any sense. When leaving a company it's a bit different. As companies are private grounds everybody who leaves a company must give way to all cars on the street. If you want to enter a company and somebody is about to leave it, it makes sense to give way to him that everybody has enough space to avoid any crashes. This should be clear but also use your indicators to indicate your direction you are driving to. At crossings also try not to cut the way of others Behavior on country roads Drive according to the speed limit! This should make sense... Many people just fall over because they think they can drive with 110 km/h on a country road. Do NOT overtake when it is not allowed. When overtaking is not allowed it is mostly because you cant look far enough to see the way you need to overtake. If overtaking is not allowed you see that on a sign (see section "Traffic signs", second picture) or when the lane markings are continuous like below: http://www.fahrtipps.de/img/vz/40p/295.gif When you see somebody overtaking you, i recommend to use the light horn to indicate that he may turn right on your lane. As the connection might be buggy sometimes this is really helpful for the overtaking driver to notice when the distance is enough. You may also use your normal air horn. If you see somebody parking on the side of the road, use your horn when your passing the truck. Sometimes these people do not look and they just start driving and you crash into them. Thats really annoying, so warn them before it is too late. When somebody takes over and you see oncoming traffic, slow down and drive as right on the street as possible. Then he can go back on the right lane much earlier. Turn off your highbeams when there is oncoming traffic Behaviour on Motorways: Remember the obligation to drive on the right (different in UK). Sometimes there are idiots who think they have to block the left lane. This is illegal and you may only use the left lane to take over. When you see somebody overtaking you, i recommend using the light horn to indicate that he may turn right on your lane. As the connection might be buggy sometimes this is really helpful for the overtaking driver to notice when the distance is great enough. You may also use your normal air horn. If you see somebody parking on the side of the road, use your horn when your passing the truck. Sometimes these people do not look and they just start driving and you crash into them. Thats really annoying, so warn them before it is too late. Remember the speed limits! If you are approaching a traffic jam or a crash turn your warning lights on and brake as smooth as possible. Then the traffic behind you can react appropriately. If you see that he noticed the situation you may turn off your warning lights. Traffic signs: http://verkehrszeichen.kfz-auskunft.de/bilder/verbot_geschwindigkeit.gif - Speed limit, in this case 60km/h - ATTENTION: These signs indicate the speed limit for cars and not for trucks. The speed limits for trucks are explained in the table below. Always drive according to the speed limit on the sign or the table below, WHICHEVER IS LOWER. http://www.verkehrsschilder.de/produktbilder/s/11202/Vorgeschriebene-Mindestgeschwindigkeit-Verkehrsschild-Nr-275-.jpg - Minimum speed http://verkehrszeichen.kfz-auskunft.de/bilder/verbot_ueberholverbot.gif - Do NOT overtake.

This would be nice too.

Suggestion Name: Forbid Connecting on the Street Suggestion Description: In the Reporting-section I reported a player who connected on the street right in front of the traffic lights and caused my friend to fly through the air and recieve 100% damage. The incident way archieved with the reason "It was not intentionally". Of course it was not intentionally, but this should not happen. Then you can also say overtaking at Europoort is ok, because it's not their intention to crash with others. They just want to get faster from A to B. I think we should add this to the In-game rules that it's not allowed to connect on the street if there is a high risk of other players crashing due to this. If you stop on the sideway of a street or on the grass it's ok to connect there, but please not in the middle of the road. We have a similiar rule on flight simulation online networks: There you are absolutely not allowed to connect on a Taxiway or Runway. Any example images: Here's a video: http://forum.ets2mp.com/index.php?/topic/14986-ynwamax-spawning-on-the-street/ Why should it be added?: It's just annoying when suddenly somebody connects in front of you or even inside you.

The ETS2MP Developers don't even have to mod the game themselves. They just need to give us the possibility to do it. But it's really strange that SCS gave the players the possibility to mod the game and now they don't permit it...

Suggestion Name: Allow players to use modded skins Suggestion Description: It should be possible for players to customize their skins and to use different skins for their trailers which might be more realistic. I don't know if it is possible to develop something like that, but I think it should at least be possible to allow players to use their skins as it doesn't affect the model of the trailer. For example if I replace the default IKA trailer skin with a real IKEA skin, I can see me driving a IKEA trailer and also other players driving a IKEA trailer. But if another player does not has the IKEA trailer installed, he sees me driving with the default IKA trailer. Any example images: No Why should it be added?: It adds a ton of realism to the game and players have more possibilites to customize their game for multiplayer use.
