DatTastyBacon Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Suggestion Name: Party System for American Truck Sim. Suggestion Description: Ive recently started to play on your server and found it really fun to see other truckers. I got my friend to get the game being really exited because I thought it would be so fun to travel on the same routes as him. I found out soon after that it's EXTREAMLY hard to find the same route as my friend, so I figured it would be helpful to all with this same issue if there was a way to get into a sort of "party" with your friend and the "party" leader could select the route that you and your friend would do. The route that the party leader selects shows up on everyone gps so everyone can do the mission. Any example images: None Why should it be added?: It should be added because I'm sure others run into this same exact issue when playing on your server. It would make everything with a friend so much less difficult for groups of players on your server, making it more popular in the long run and expanding how long people play. Thanks for reading and if you disagree or agree with this I'd live to hear your oppinion in the reply section below. Thanks again! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[VIVΛ HH] KЯΛVΛTIΞ Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 so basically a VTC then you send each other the route to add into the GPS but we do need to some form of job sync but that project died No electrons were harmed during the creation, transmission or reading of this posting. However, many were excited and some may have enjoyed the experience https://discord.gg/jgJ326p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyhococo Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Firstly, please follow the format or this'll be rejected immediately by a CM. Suggestion Name: Suggestion Description: Any example images: Why should it be added?: Secondly: Why you like your own post and vote yes on your own poll? Isn't that cheating? Finally, I believe this could be accepted only when we get server side profiles and server side economy. (Btw welcome to the forums! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like that could have been great if it was completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyder Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 ^ I agree, it sounded great, but kinda died out. Would be good to see something similar to this implemented into MP.

ExilevRandall Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I agree this would be a very good idea especially for Doing convoys 1 http://jmdev.ca/twitch/img/ExilevRandall/image.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legocube Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 how about you make a profile called mp(for example, or whatever) take a job, pick a truck, customize it the way you want(and works in mp), share the profile with your friends. that way you all have same cargo, trucks, paint job, etc. when a new convoy is made just modify the profile with desired job, truck... and share it again(same thing as job sync, but with more customizability) IMO.

DatTastyBacon Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) ^ That would work but a lot of people would probable rather use their accounts. A big part of the game is grinding to pimp out your truck and that would ruin it in my oppinion. I can see what you're saying though.

legocube Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 ^you can use that profile only for convoys, for me it's nice when i see a convoy with trucks of same color and cargo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caricature Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 +1 to this for both games, not just american sim. also i believe there is another solution which has always been around.. with the usage of WoT jobs: just make sure you and your friends are on World of Trucks jobs page, refresh, and you'll see the same jobs. once all of you press refresh at the same time, all of you will have to choose a job. ***if at any point after the refresh, one or more of your friends exit the WoT jobs page, only those friends will see different jobs if one of your friends who stayed on the WoT job page selected the job all of you supposedly wanted to take.*** then there's ETS2Sync and Virtual Speditor. Or let your friends download your profile after you've picked up the job. Have a good one and as always, happy trucking~ Ex - GM & FM (S.E.A) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustBrankoGaming Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 It would be nice if they add this, but the way of making it is difficult. You always can connect your profile with world of trucks and if you look in-game to extern contracts you both see the same job, the only disadvantage is that you can't drive faster than 90 KM/h .

Trucking Gekco Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 For those wanting to sync with friends / VTC just use this program: Sure it would be nice to have a feature like this already in the game, but it's already kind of here, just need to use the above program every time you want to sync with a player. NOTE: With the program make sure you ONLY sync the DLC that every player owns. If you happen to select a DLC someone who you want to sync with doesn't own you get a completely different list of loads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davnoz Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 There is the alternative of using WOT (world of trucks) contracts to get the same jobs. This can be an easy way to drive with your friends and VTC drivers. 1 iHobbit | Report Moderator "You are entitled to food, clothing, shelter and medical attention.

Trigzd Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 There are certain programs that exist that can do this job such as the ETS2 sync helper, I've used it for a while now and only had issues with it a couple of times after major game updates! But if this could be implemented server side I'm sure there'd be no complaints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuliHD Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 +1 I think this will be an excellent idea but shouldn’t only be added to ATS but ETS2 as well because a lot of people drive together on both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckersNEW-Hao Nan Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I agree. This will save more time. To do a sacred thing, one must work hard, and I know some rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowWolf2k7 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 this isn't really needed. SCS provided a tool for this it is called World of Trucks, which opens up external contracts, everyone that owns ATS and ETS can register with WoT and then choose a destination city and then ask their friends if they have a load to there, only issue that there would be, is the lack of a State/country DLC. so this is a -1 from me and the reason is already listed as to why.

RequieB Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I think you think well, but how do you communicate with the rest of the players? Locating on the map can be very difficult. You need to think it through. But with this suggestion, most people will play ATS. RequieB Game Moderator of the Year 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 good idea.I agree with you.but this problem can be solved by sharing the same profile with the other friend and you can make a nice trip with your friend. +1 I do not think they need to open an extra server.

Carrera18 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Does that mean opening more than one server? how will happen on the same server? Do they affect pings. This is complicated to me. so -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hi, It's a good idea, but by using the same profile file (wot) you can move the same load to the same location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
