Mogebear Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Hey guys. I always drive with this window enabled. I don´t know why since you can see on the map if someone is near you. I think it´s an old habit from my staring days when i thought every little type of reckless driving would be a reason for me to report players But it´s kinda satisfying to watch the distance slowly decreasing and increasing after passing other truckers and sometimes you get exited because you think you you finally get some company but in the end it´s just someone parking in the city next to the highway Did you also drive with it enabled? Let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid1651 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I just turn it of from times to times to check if there is anyone nearby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunstrider Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 The only times i use it are: When i first connect to see my id. When someone does a driving offense and i know the id, but they are driving away too quickly/F7'd and i need to check history. Otherwise, i have it off. As i don't need to know the meta of who's around me and who's not. Since all we are doing, is just passing by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-btW Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Yeah, I usually play with the tab open as well. Since the jobs I do involve long distances, it's nice to spot players passing by in advance, either beside me or on the opposite lane. Also, with Man truck I recently started using, I've been using a camera instead of mirrors to see behind, and it fits nicely on the left side of the screen.

Hawkmusen Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I used to not wear it with an add-on, but lately, I've been wearing it in a way that doesn't distract me and I think it's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUPO (ITA) Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Hello @Mogebear, First of all thank you for taking the time to ask this question and write this topic with community on forum. Usually I don't like to play with the window enabled for players who are close but I only use it sometimes to check if some of my friends are driving near me .

Interstate Nomad Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I only opened this window when another player approached, to have this information documented on my video in case of an incident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5pearmint Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I never used to have it on but as someone has already mentioned, it's nice to be able to see if anyone's approaching, give them a flash of the lights and a blast of the horns on longer drives when you're out of more populated areas 5PEARMINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushi Mac Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I usually have it on when I am on the open road and there aren't too many people around just so I am aware of those around me, but whenever I am in a location with a lot of people I have it disabled since the window likes to lag the game a lot for me.

As i don't need to know the meta of who's around me and who's not. Since all we are doing, is just passing by. I have it on when driving for two reasons: 1. To check my ping (usually my ping is a constant 80-90ms but sometimes the server becomes potato then I know it's time to leave more gap in case others lagging) 2. To check the distance and ping of other players (sometimes it can be their personal internet issue which can be lagging, so i'll know what's going on) One of my friends also uses that when overtaking as well, but i use 2nd view to check the distance when overtaking, it's easier haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows me their ping. Whether 80 or 400, there's still lag. I judge the oncoming dots on the map to determine if i have a big enough gap to do an overtake, or if i need to wait longer.

Foobrother Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Nope. I have it hidden when I drive. I only use it: When in a very busy area (i.e. CD/Kirkenes) to check/report some players bothering me. When elsewhere, to do the same + check who is in the area.

[MCG] ΣΛ Mєowsтar Kai'Sa Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I only open tab menu when from time to time, to see if anyone around, or in busy areas just to keep an eye for info update. Not gonna able it all the time, because that window actually affect the view, as well as less lags when it's closed.

Hockerto Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I typically have the window open, especially when I drive with friends, but I make it smaller so I only see 4-5 Players. But sometimes, I disable it to have a bit more of a realistic feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
