Hot Topic #48: Buses!


James

Recommended Posts

Thank you for all the work you have done. All in all a very nice change, sometimes being able to drive a bus.
However, I have two problems:
1. The travel information overlay is blocking my view of the left mirror and I can't get the thing off. If I hide the window, the tour is gone.
2. The bus is a lame duck for my taste. 75 km/h may be sufficient for inner-city traffic, but it is a traffic obstacle on European motorways

Все чудово, автобус як ракета. Тільки як налаштувати розклад автобуса по маршруту, щоб співпадав з годиником.  Е  ігровий час, е  в мр час, а з графіком не співпадае. Завжди запізнення.

 

 

Everything is great, the bus is like a rocket. Just how to adjust the bus schedule along the route to coincide with the clock. It's game time, it's time in the game, but it doesn't match the schedule. Always late.

I love this new feature, I personally love the idea of other vehicles on the road to fill in the void of no NPCS. My only problem is the handling and braking of the bus it feels super stiff and non existent. Maybe that's how it is suppose to perform. I'm not too sure. I see lots of people complain that the buses cause problems on the roads especially in cities like Dortmund/Calais (sorry if I spelt those wrong). But I think those cities just have a problem related to player popularity and not directed buses .I also don't see the problem of having to download another client as well for this feature, pretty straightforward and isn't some corrupt download to my PC. Overall, I cannot wait to see what else comes to TruckersMP good work to everyone that worked on this project.

Although buses are a great addition, the only downside about them, is their price. What I mean is that they are very expensive for purhcase and expensive to operate and maintain, (especially for repairs). When you buy one of them, (at default,) they cost 550+k, this also means that this bus is only available to experienced drivers, (lvl6+ eg:). For newbies (those with lvl 2) they'll have to work overwhelmingly hard with jobs just to get this vehicle. A possible outcome to this inaffordability is to probably cut down the price, maybe about 50 - 70%, down to around 180k, so it becomes affordable for the newbies who are hyped for trying out the bus

Despite the fact that many users will disagree with the implementation of buses to TruckersMP, in my opinion, this is exactly the kind of addition that TruckersMP needs ?

Before the release of SCS' Convoy Mode, TruckersMP was the only way you could play with your friends, even if it was just the two of you. This obviously made the modification so popular, and in return, it has also helped to keep both games of Euro Truck Simulator 2 & American Truck Simulator alive.
Without the existence of TruckersMP, I personally don't think the Truck-sim community would be as big or as close as it is today. That being said, it's important for the staff team at TruckersMP to always be exploring new ways to improve the modification.

 

Once SCS finally released their own official multiplayer for both games, this immediately took away the main exclusivity that TruckersMP held. Although TruckersMP's server's can host hundreds of more players in one game at a time, many users that just used TruckersMP as a way to play with a few friends have evidently switched to the official Convoy Mode. Although ETS2 didn't see too much of a decline, this was certainly noticed over on ATS.

 

That being said, with this new exclusivity of having a fully working bus mod with automatically placed routes, live passengers and more, TruckersMP is finally seeing a better increase of players on it's servers. If the team at TruckersMP can keep looking to add more exclusive features to their modification, this project will easily have the ability to go on for many more years to come. 

 

So far, I'm really impressed with the addition of Buses, and the developers from both ends have done an outstanding job. I also enjoyed the official live stream hosted by @JamesS014 along with some other Community Managers, and a few Community Contributors ? 

 

So, with Buses now added... Taxi when? ? ?

Can we please start getting Quality of Life improvements instead of more flavor features that would be a nice addition in a completed game, but right now it feels that they're taking the focus from more important issues.

 

- Weather Sync which is the most important of all

- Server-Side Economy (Another big feature that can probably solve reckless driving

 

Yes, the bus is nice. But the base game is lacking, and the bus only adds a bit of flavor. Please focus on Quality of Life Improvements instead.
