Patreon Suggestion - Speed Display options

[itsPeanutttt]

Hi! Peanut here,

 

Just a suggestion for us patreons, GMs etc. have an option already, but for us [Patreon Members] to turn on a "Speedo Meter/Telemetry in our tab so it displays on top of peoples trucks just like f11 see photo provided.

So when I am in convoy I can match there speed instead of asking as that would give risk of crashing etc. I think it serves it purpose and people like myself like supporting and want more features I see it would be very helpful.

I think it is a good idea 

[exchwen]

I agree. I think it's a great idea, and as claimed, it would promote better coordination and potentially reduce the risk of accidents..

Hey there, 

 

I totally agree and support this idea. You can then check your speed with someone in front of you or you can also recognize a hacker. 

 

Good luck for your idea.

I think it's a good idea

[TimeTimes]

Could definitely help with convoys to make sure everyone is driving the same speed.

[djoh]

I also support this idea.

[Wesjet]

I support this idea, for sure it would help with convoys and be very useful to the patron community.

I think it's a good idea to help us get more information.

Hello,

 

I support this suggestion. When we are driving in front of the other car, displaying their speed can better allow us to adjust our own speed based on it. If we notice a sudden drop in the speed of the preceding car while displaying the speed, it can give us a faster response time. And without speed display, we have to judge the speed change of the other party based on the reduction of the distance between cars, which will result in a longer reaction time and a higher risk of accidents.

That's a great idea. But I think it should be introduced for all players, not just patreon.

[Interstate Nomad]

This feature certainly contributes to more safety in road traffic. Especially inexperienced drivers can benefit from it.

 

Experienced players and those seeking for realism however will be happy to have the option of turning it off.

C’est une bonne idée de le faire, je soutiens cette idée

[Thareon]

I support this suggestion.
Personally, I'd probably keep it turned off outside of convoys for immersion, but can totally see how it can be helpful.
I'd even prefer making the feature available for all players and not just patreons.

 

Actually, an identical suggestion got already accepted:
km/h & mp/h (current speed) display also for players / patreons

I believe the Patron perks should only be cosmetic based and include minor quality of life improvements such as the extended AFK timer. Locking such a useful and important feature behind the monthly subscription doesn't sound right in my personal opinion but I'd love to see this become available for all.

I agree this is. If this is added, it was previously nearly impossible, for but GM to approve a web report against speedhacker if my car is moving slowly, but with the addition of this it can deal with.

[TMP_Malinois]

It seems to me that a similar suggestion was already made on this topic and that it was accepted by the staff. I may not be entirely sure, but I remember seeing this request go through and possibly being accepted in relation to this idea.

[(Furry)NoahTheGamer]

Great idea i like it

[XY-429-柠天]

Good idea, how long does it take to use it if it is adopted?

[Leοn]

Heya,

 

This is an amazing idea!

It would have so many positive benefits, alow me:

1. Avoiding sudden stops: If you see another player braking/decelerating rapidly, you are able to ajust the speed way more earlier and avoid rear-end collisions

2. Improved safety: For example, if you see another truck going much faster than you, you can control your speed and/or making turns and reducing the risk of accidents

3. Overtaking: If you are overtaking yourself, you could check if the player acclerates and prevents you from overtaking

4. Convoys: Knowing the speeds of other players can help maintain a consistent speed, to adjust your speed to stay within the convoy

5. Optimized Driving: Knowing when another player speeds up/slows down could help making decisions in acclerating, braking, overtaking or changing lanes.

 

Kind regards,

Leon

This is a good idea, it can definitely help the fleet ensure that everyone is driving at the same speed

That would be so helpful to prevent accidents

Hello @itsPeanutttt, 

 

Thank you for your suggestion. 

 

I have been in contact with our Game Developers and the Game Producer and they have decided to reject this suggestion. The reason it was rejected is due to the feature is not fully accurate and would need a whole rework. Players are able to adapt to each other's speed with the adaptive cruise control feature already in game. 

 

Once again, thank you for your suggestion.
