darkneon2002 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Suggestion Name: ATS server Speed limits Suggestion Description: I suggest to set one server with the speed limit of 80mph and one without speed limit.Any example images: n/aWhy should it be added?: This way players that want a realistic simulator can have a server and those that want a race game or less realistic have their server. Second reason is that overtaking like on the ETS2 speed limit servers often happens too slow and is prone to cause accidents.

Zirox Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 You speak about Racing... Racing - Kick / BanHaving races or anything similar. I believe that the speed limits will be the same as ETS2MP, however I am not 100% sure. 1 Zirox Support | Appeals | Report a User | Feedback | Recruitment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkneon2002 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 a clearification to your response ZiroX: going faster then the absolute max allowed speed for trucks is racing in my opinion. so lets just say going +80mph for ATS or +90km/u in ETS2 is racing in my opinion but some would probably like to call it "arcade style" so it was not my intention to call it "a race" Born to be wild in 1982 | Does not accept random Steam friend requests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Imaginative Lad Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just don't let there be massive debate on this. Go back less than a year ago and all hell broke loose over ets2mp speed limiters. Just let developers do what they decide best and if people don't agree on it then they will know when the forum wars start. Have a problem with your ban?

antrax737 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 isnt there auto-limiter at 80? im fine with 80, but i hope people will drive by limits at least out of cities, i would love to see that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKuzmin Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 The idea is good. But I propose to do as well as in ETS2: 110kmh = 68mph (or 70mph) 80mph = 128kmh - this is too much. Now the maximum permitted speed in the game 55mph. Therefore, 68mph is enough for overtaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrax737 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 ^^u know no matter at what speed limit will be people will at least try to drive to the limit right? to me there is no visual difference between 70 and 80, but some people will post polls and they will get no speed limit server and these servers will be full. so imo there is no point in limiters...

sgpch1983 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 with a limit of 55mph you only need 65mph for overtaking. i think anything above 70mph is a bit fast for a truck with up to or more than 40 tons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyuuki Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Some road, you have the limit of 80 mph. Whit the limiter, us can drive on full speed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirBlackspots Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 California, the max speed is 55MPH, in Nevada, its 80MPH. Limiter should be set for 80MPH on highways, and 35MPH in cities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.StεvƐ. Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 At the very least, the limiter should go up to 70MPH in ATS (Cali) and up to say 80MOH in Nevada (as it is state law that trucks can go that fast) besides, if you use the cruise control, you cant set it (by increasing the set speed) to 68MPH as it increments by 5MPH, not 1MPH so at least give us round numbers for speed limits instead of the conversion limits we had in ETS2 because of KMH and MPH, so it made sense, now, it doesn't at all.

Noraf Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 ^ just change the settings, mine adjusts by 1....... Dude, this is an internet forum. You can't expect people to read stuff. Jeez.

.StεvƐ. Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 mine cc goes perfectly to 70 with cc increase per 5mph that's what im saying, with the limit being 68MPH, it cant go to 70MPH if you increase the speed manually instead of hitting "C" at 68MPH, besides if its a rounder number, its a lot easier to see exactly when you hit the limit and such, hell we could always ask for exact limits in each state (55MPH in Cali only) and (80MPH in Nevada only) but people would still get upset at it, even though its what you have to do in Singleplayer anyway.

SVrider Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 If the limit in real life is 80mph then i think we should be able to go 80. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.StεvƐ. Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 mine cc goes perfectly to 70 with cc increase per 5mph im fully aware of this, what im talking about is that your trucks on EU1 cannot reach 70MPH as the server is LIMITED to 68MPH maximum so if you use cruise control that you increase with a button, you cant go exactly that speed and so use more fuel as the cruise control tries to get you to that speed and cant so keeps the power on the entire time instead of backing off, wasting fuel away, if it was increased to 70MPH Limit, at least then its a round number to focus on.

darkneon2002 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 ah I see! yes yould be right about that.

.StεvƐ. Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 ^to be fair, I play on high/ultra settings and I can barely read the actual gauges, hence why I rely on the digital displays in the middle to tell me my speed.

Hammy Potter Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 You say it would be easier to overtake if the limit was 80, but you're forgetting that people drive on the server speed limit anyway so you will be in the same situation. Then you need to think that the truck limit in California is 55 so those of us that do drive around that speed will get rear ended when you speed junkies are having an 80mph overtake battle. You approach someone doing 55 fast enough at 68 so there's no need for this change, just work on your patience levels.

darkneon2002 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 I follow the max limit and if the difference is too small to safely overtake I'll just stay behind at a safe distance.

.StεvƐ. Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 the limit should just go to a round number, either 65 or 70MPH, 70 is safe enough as its basically the same as what we have currently, anything higher in MP is just a recipe for disaster, also all single track roads should have a limit of either 35 or 45 because so many idiots drive along those roads at full speed and then wonder why people want to report them because they cant stop so cause wrecks, as well as just wreck themselves and block the roads.

Hammy Potter Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 ^ I see where you're coming from, but you could probably count situations like that on one hand so I can't see why it would be more effective overall. Don't get me wrong you're right in what you're saying, and if the map had a lot more gradients like that then it would seem more reasonable to have an 80 limit. It's just that with the majority of the map being relatively flat that even single track roads with tight curves wouldn't slow your truck down enough to warrant the extra speed (well not like you'd want to go fast around sections of road like that), which would lead to more people that would be going faster on the entry of roads like that. It's bad enough to see someone coming towards you on a road like that still doing 60, let alone at 80. I just think it would cause more hassle than good in the long run so I don't see the point of it. Shiftin' gears and drinkin' beers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
