Guest Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I agree that it can be a little frustrating when people have a whole load of lights on their trucks and are causing glare or even technical issues (lag etc...). However, there are many people in the MP community that love to jazz up their truck with cool stuff like lights, and it wouldn't be fair to take that feature away from them. A feature that comes in the game as stock. I personally think it should be limited, just not as extreme of a limit as 4. Maybe 6 or 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empirekicking Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 If your pcs struggle due to lights should get an upgrade then lolI'm on a £2500 gaming laptop that can run ETS2 40% double high settings lol even though I still get lag when I'm in a high population location. Beacons, lights, speeding monkeys, and night times seems the worst.I have three beacons and I don't use them anymore, even with a oversized trailer I keep them off. Only time I had to use my lights on High is on the new countryside map. It was sooooo darkness. James May was here If I helped you out in anyway can u please click this up button arrow . Thank You!!!

I believe the major issue is people using the lights addon mod for multiplayer allowing people to put a beacon on every slot on both the roof, grill and bumper. There should be harder regulations on beacons, especially if you want to mod your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 ^ Yes exactly. So if we limited it, but not to such a low number, that would solve the problem and hopefully everybody (well, most people) would be happy . Limiting it to something as low as 4 seems a bit extreme to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 having loads of lights on roof glares out all road signs so you will not know what speed your supposed to be at,thats why loads of trucks miss there turn off Do you really think it looks good?It isn't like blackpool tower it's just how I like it and I know a few trucks like this in real life Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey_Wtf Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 It isn't like blackpool tower it's just how I like it and I know a few trucks like this in real life Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk I see,I bet you do not even dip headlights when behind trucks or on coming,Tell you that a truck following me had so many lights it lite up my cabin,I saw the lights where on red,what did he do? Yes he slammed into the back of my truck as he did not see my brake lights,then the same truck slammed in to the back of me when I slowed down to a reversing truck as he missed his turn off,so you telling me you like to play like this,means to me that you think its your game and have disregard to any other players,your truck,your road,members look at me i have spotlights on my truck if i glare you in mirrors or can not see road signs or brake lights,I don't care as i like to play like that ))))) Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stilldre1976 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Cant see how having too many lights caused him to run into you tbh maybe a crap driver but nowt to do with lights on a truck lol i use my full lights all the time and never missed a turning off due to them,you have a gps infront of you so missing a turning is more down to not paying attention to the road/gps etc I can also see signs no problem where am heading too. i aint even had any comments while online about my lights on either the only time ive ever turnt off my roof and bullbars lights was lastnite at the xmas convoy as people were getting lag and the admins asked nicely.

Read what i said,to many lights will stop you seeing red brake lights,go and test it out if you do not believe what i say and test the road signs as well while your there,and ask one of your friends to drive behind with all lights on full see how you will like,then we get members who say they like last years snow as this years was to much glare Lag as well ;p red brake lights stand out more when it is dark,whats that song called,/blinded by the light/ Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I like the lights it's not over the top and no one is going to stop me use them. I dip to oncoming traffic however if they don't dip I go back to full beam simple. I also dip to people over taking so they have a good view in their mirrors.

Miles Vorkosigan (Histori Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Some drivers are using their lights as a new way of trolling. Last night a driver with far too many lights and flashers swerved around and stayed in my rear view mirror. When I did not seem to get frazzled he turned to another intended victim...which unfortunately worked Poor guy went into the ditch. Unfortunately I only have video of him trolling me.

freddiebox Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Aye, that I can confirm. When people with alot of lights and beams approach you from behind, not only immersion breaking as your entire interior lights up like someone pointed spotlghts at you, but also makes you feel annoyed having only lights in your mirrors for 20 minutes.

Raketaz Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It is annoying but it's hard for staff to do much about it. The rule about being limited in regards to how many is on your truck is not really needed. Everyone has their own preference. If someone tries to troll you all you can do is ignore it and focus on driving rather than looking in your mirror for longer than necessary. If no one reacts to their trolling they may get bored.
