Suggestion Name: Customizable Beacon Light Options for Trucks Suggestion Description: Add a feature in the player panel that lets us customize the timing, frequency, and style of our beacon lights. It would give players a way to personalize their trucks a bit more. There could be a limit on how fast the lights can flash to keep things running smoothly, like a minimum interval of 50ms between flashes. Any Example Images: (I have sent the AI-generated image below. BUT IT IS NOT ABSOLUTE NEED TO BE LIKE THIS, It's just a reference.) The Problem: Right now, beacon lights all flash at the same rate, and when there are a lot of trucks in one area, it can hit FPS hard and make the game feel less smooth. This can be frustrating for players, especially in high traffic zones where everyone’s lights are flashing at the same time. If we had some control over the timing and style of our beacon lights, it’d let us add a unique touch to our trucks without bogging down FPS. A cooldown on how fast they flash would keep things stable, so everyone’s game runs better. Why it should be added: This small change could make a big difference in personalizing trucks, letting players express themselves a bit more without causing extra lag. It would add to the fun and immersion of the game while keeping gameplay smooth, even in busy areas.

Suggestion Name: SCOUT New flat beacons Suggestion Description: As the title says, I thought that adding new type of beacons, both yellow and blue would make driving experience a bit better. Example Images: Attached Why should it be added?: This should be in this game for ages now yet we don't have it, small thing that many users can enjoy, I can only guess but many users would like to have different type of beacons, this one is only simple flat design, but in my opinion it is something nice both us users and TruckersMP staff members can enjoy. [EDIT 26.04.2019] Additional Info: If staff needs me to take some photos of them, I have them both so I can take as many photos from whichever angle you like.

Suggestion Name: Add new beacon for Skoda Suggestion Description: A lot of people like to have lot of light on their truck or car. I think a orange beacon at the back of the car can be good. It can be very good if we can control the lights (Right, Left and more ...) Any example images : Yes there is + a video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9DmH1n8Mbw&t=] Why should it be added? For more signalisation, some cars are very nice people and help us to signal an accident.

Hello all, New user here to ATS and Truckers MP. I have 3 annoying issues that I hope someone can help me fix. 1) I keep having an issue where there are no jobs. The fix I found was to go into your profile's config file and set the economy to 1. That seems to work, but it is a constant problem. Seems to really be a problem after I go up a level and it asks you to use your points. After choosing to have better gas mileage or be able to have longer drives and then go back to the jobs list, it is usually blank. After resetting the economy, I think that leads to the time issue in my number 2 problem below. I have triggered it to refresh by clicking around, but not sure what I went into to trigger it. I have tried twice, finding what I did and not sure. The only thing that works reliably was editing the config file. 2) I have been only playing ATS using Truckers MP for the past few days. I launch Truckers MP and click to launch ATS. I login and choose a quick job to do and at random times after starting a job I have 0 hours remaining. If I quit the job I lose 12k, if I complete the job I get nothing and lose points. Since I am new, I haven't purchased a truck or shop yet. I just have been taking jobs that the game provides along with the truck etc. I have read that it's a time sync issue with the server. I read to rest at a rest station and that didn't work. I have read to not play single player and then quit and start it back again using MP. But I don't do that, I have only been starting/finishing delivers in the same session only using Truckers MP and I don't notice the issue until I have already started a job and end up getting points taken or losing money. How can I stop this from happening or correct it after starting a delivery? 3) I can't get the beacons to work. The shortcut key is O, but I press it and nothing happens. I have a key setup on my G27 Wheel as well and nothing happens. I can clearly see them on the trailer, the truck says Oversize Load, etc. Not sure why they won't turn on? Mods are disabled. Thanks for the help!

This is my first post, hope you like it and consider the idea. Suggestion Name: Enable LED Flash Beacon mod Suggestion Description: well, it just have no description, it's just a led beacon Any example images: https://youtu.be/v9UHUT8-w9E Why should it be added?: I think it would be really cool to have this mod on ETS2MP. This shouldn't be a mod though, it should be already included in the game, but it's not... I bet people will like this mod This mod doesn't cause any lag at any computer, they have no reflections. Default beacons cause more lag Credits: Big T, SCS software MOD: http://ets2.lt/en/4-led-flash-beacon/

Suggestion Name: Add an LED-Beacon for the Car Suggestion Description: With the Special Cargo DLC, LED-Flashing-Beacons were added. There are Lightbars for Trucks, but i think there should be LED-Beacons for Cars to... Any example images: N/a Why should it be added?: It would Add a little bit of variety since there is only One Amber-Coloured Lightbar. In addition, more and more LED-Beacons can be found on cars in real life

Suggestion Name: Limit number of beacons, and restrict usage of beacons in cities. Suggestion Description: Hi, firstly I don't have physical or childhood related complex for beacons, but today playing on EU3 I saw this guy... (link) 14 beacons (really?). So i think there should be rule for example 3 beacons for truck. Or maybe add rule to not use beacons in cities or certain cities or maybe from x players in city beacons are not allowed. Any example images: Nope Why should it be added?: To reduce lag and irritation of other users

Suggestion Name: Car beacon Suggestion Description: I would like to see a car beacon like they have on trucks. Any example images: 3pointxenon.jpg× Why should it be added?: It will look nice on cars and maybe less lag then a complete bar and maybe add some realism

Suggestion Name: Use your Beacon only if you have a Oversize Load Suggestion Description: Like in real life it should be a rule that the usage of the Beacon is only permitted, if you have a Heavy Load (like the Pipeline-Part) or a wide Load (Like the Traktor RS-666), or if you have to stop at dangerous places, like the Hardshoulder or if you are a pilot for a Convoy. Any example images: N/A Why should it be added?: especially on narrow Roads, this rule would be extremly useful. You are then able to see if you need to make room for such a Truck it would also reduces Lags in areas with high traffic volume, such as Europoort

Suggestion Name: Information screens on vans/cars. Suggestion Description: To inform other traffic for an accident or an upcoming convoy with an LED sign on the back of the truck/car to warn others. Any example images: I'm from The Nethelands and this is an 'Rijkswaterstaat' car, 'Rijkswaterstaat' checks the Dutch highways and mainly informs drivers for an upcoming event on their way. At the back of this vehicle there is a sign that says 'ongeval' which in English is 'accident'. They can fully edit this sign, but maybe in ETS2MP there should be a sub menu (like for adjusting the mirrors, lights and seats) which people can use to select a few saying for their sign. Then they only need one button to turn the sign on and warn other traffic. Why should it be added?: It makes the game more realistic and should make the ETS2MP roads safer, because you shouldn't only use this for an accident, but also for warning other traffic for an upcoming (and slower driving or merging onto the highway) convoy! Maybe it's impossible for the devs to develop this, but its just an idea that popped up in my mind. Greetings, NLcrafter

Suggestion Name: New rule about beacons' usage Suggestion Description: In addition to the LED BEACONS suggestion, we all know that default beacon causes LAG. This means: the more trucks with beacons on, the more lag. So I'd like to porpose a new RULE about BEACONS' USAGE: SET A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF BEACONS: I've seen trucks with 6 or more beacon lights. This causes a lot of lag. I'd like to porpose this equality: BIG BEACON = 4, SMALL BEACON = 2, LED BEACON = 1 You can use ANY combination which total sum is 6 Until LED beacons are added (which I hope so), another combination could be: 1 BIG BEACON + 1 SMALL BEACON OR 3 SMALL BEACONS LIMIT ITS USAGE TO HEAVY TRAILERS ONLY: This means: if you are carrying a light trailer or no trailer, you CAN'T use beacons. These are the cases when you MUST use beacons: How do I know when I can (must) use beacons? EASY: REPORT PLAYERS USING BEACONS WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T OR HAVING AN EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF BEACONS: Admins would kick a player for bad beacons' usage, or warn him/her at least. AUTOMATIC MESSAGE REMEMBERING PLAYERS WHEN TO USE / NOT USE BEACONS Any example images: DONE Why it should be added? I guess players know what I'm talking about and would be ok with having just a few beacons and use them only in the mentioned cases. This would reduce lag, specially when there are lots of trucks around. You're not cooler by having beacons on. Beacons are just a signal, which must be used for "SAFETY" (this is in real life, but hey! this is a "simulator"). Thanks for reading, mentalista666
