tab list By clicking on the Player, go on the Tab list.
Joao Rodrigues replied to Simulatorkingz's topic in Open for Discussion
IMO, This will only be beneficial if this works by clicking on the vehicle of the player. I could imagine that trying to click on the username in a crowded area would be very difficult to impossible. -
If I can find the time, I prefer to drive long distances. I put the European driving times and rest periods into game time to gain the most possible realism out of the simulator.

More passenger vehicles would increase realism of road traffic. Maybe they can be added as AI, be it non-collision or not.

Driving Full Speed - Tell me your opinions
Joao Rodrigues replied to Lindsey McTavish's topic in General Discussion
Speed is a controversial topic in this community. IMO, driving at excessive speed doesn't belong into a truck simulation. I drive according to real world road traffic rules and also follow European driving time and rest periods, because I want my experience to be as realistic as possible. My driven speed depends not only on the above but also on road condition, weather condition, visibility, and of course on my truck, trailer and cargo. I follow the slogan "better safe than sorry". -
Should road to sim changes be removed?

Could you elaborate how a "ban by mistake" is related to "Road To Simulation" ? -
Should road to sim changes be removed?
Joao Rodrigues replied to [ETS2MCG] dogearmy (TR)'s topic in General Discussion
Frankly, I don't care if other players can't recover their game. I am interested in adding more realism to the simulation. Which is why I think that server-sided profiles would be a huge improvement. Players will learn that nothing comes for free and that their actions will have consequences. Time pressure, insufficient sleep, poor payment - these are the things that truckers face nowadays. Imagine you had to face these and nevertheless succeed in delivering your cargo - wouldn't that feel more rewarding than just driving around like a maniac with unrealistic vehicle settings, knowing that y -
Should road to sim changes be removed?
Joao Rodrigues replied to [ETS2MCG] dogearmy (TR)'s topic in General Discussion
Welcome to the life of WOT players. That has happened several times to me, literally ruining an uneventful 2k+ kilometer ride just 5 minutes before arrival with no chance of loading an auto save. So no, the Road To Simulation should not taken back but instead be tuned for the benefit of this community. I second the suggestion that @FernandoCR [ESP] has made earlier in this post. Server-sided profiles with preset stability and braking settings with no possibility of tweaking these nor changing experience level, money balance, etc. That would end the hist -
ETS2 & ATS - Games or simulators?
Joao Rodrigues replied to Unnamed88008's topic in General Discussion
ETS2 and ATS both bring the aspect of detailed systems (simulation) and a fun user experience (games) with them. I therefore tend to say that they are hybrids with an emphasis on simulation. -

Wonderful Iberia DLC
Joao Rodrigues replied to raffaeloo's topic in Euro Truck Simulator 2 Discussions
Yes, I am excited for its release! I plan to drive from Bordeaux (France) direction Spain to cross the border at Irun (Spain), continue my way direction Portugal over Burgos (Spain), then Leon (Spain) to eventually cross the border to Portugal at Chaves. After that, everything can happen! -
bring the 90KM/H cap back to Sim 1
Joao Rodrigues replied to seth_haveron's topic in Euro Truck Simulator 2 Discussions
Let's just remove the incompetent drivers for now. That will help already a lot! -
Thoughts about ETS2 DLC's
Joao Rodrigues replied to raffaeloo's topic in Euro Truck Simulator 2 Discussions
Before starting to expand even further to the east into areas that are not even geographically belonging to Europe, I would like to see beautiful Greece to be added and rework all areas that are still on vanilla game level. -
As a matter of fact, I prefer to play ETS2 / ATS in single player, because the amount of traffic is way more realistic than the empty roads we face in multiplayer.
