I bought a car, now what?

Now that you have bought your car you probably want to know what you can do, well here are the rules for driving a car:

 

  • Racing  You cannot do this with a car or a truck
  • You cannot drive in EuroPoort as it is considered useless traffic
  •  You cannot pull a trailer with a car
  • And you cannot abuse the pilot paintjob

or as @Alex [ITA] suggested you might want to -   finish work - car - home - rest

Imagine if someone actually create a dedicated Pilot VTC where companies can hire a pilot or two for convoys or events.

There is one, Convoy Security Group

The car adds to the realism, even hen you are driving your truck doing a job its great to come across cars :)

Also if you just want to explore the map, I've only explored about 55% of the map so it will be great to explore more of the map in the car and go further into Europe, maybe buy more garages and get more familiar with the roads before going on jobs.

Just drive it to your headquarter as a car you use to go from house to work. It's a simulation game!

I hoped that we can use it while driving with other people online. But nooo. I get kicked immideatly.

Still trying to figure out how to change my display name. Hmmm....

I was working on "Vanguard Professional Pilot Car Service" concept after I bought my first Scout in ATS.  I was going to offer pilot service to lone drivers or convoys. I have a YouTube channel and I record regularly so as part of Vanguard's service, you can have the whole journey filmed so it can be used as evidence against any trolls/rammers ect that might plague the convoy if any (hopefully none!). 

 

Everybody uses beacons and the pilot paintjob, so Vanguard uses the pilot beacons, but the Pacific Blue paintjob. (Considering a custom orange paint not sure) with plates in the windscreen that says "Vanguard" on one side and  "PPCS" on the other.

 

I was going to build a proboards forum so people could schedule services and stuff. Have to write up a pretty big disclaimer about having the right to leave or cancel services in case the truckers are being foolish or are trolls themselves, if real life dives in and I have to miss a convoy ect ect...

 

Problem is, there's so many cars right now and people offering escorts and pilot services, I thought it would be almost pointless right now.  Do you think enough truckers would be interested in using such a service, and, if so, would anyone be interested in driving for one?

Basically, what i think: Some people (including me) love to cruise around a realistic open world with trucks/cars.

 

The cars also adds more variation, i got bored from mp just because there were only trucks.

But now there are cars, thats very cool.

 

It doesn't matter if you don't like a car. You can always go back to your good old truck and do jobs.

It's a simulation game, not real life. Remember that.

 

Euro Truck Simulator + Euro Car Simulator = Euro Caruck Simulator 2.

Kind of pointless and boring driving the cars, I quite enjoyed being a pilot but there seems to be some loosely written rules with it, I was driving around with the pilot car looking for pulled over trucks or trucks stuck who need help (adds to realism) but with the trigger happy admins of this game, I dare not do it again as it seems to amuse them to ban people quickly for the smallest of reasons, it is rare to be able to use them in a convoy. Having a normal coloured car with pilot lights on looks silly.

^ um are you sure you're talking about the same car? I've seen trucks stop on a some faster than most cars :lol::lol::lol:

 

But I like the car, it's kinda sad that I can't take my car to ep to idle and record but the logic behind it is solid.

 

Also driving a car home is realistic unless you're a freelancer then it's not.

 

Sunday car divers drove like idiots, yesterday I've seen more truckers driving like idiots (not including cars going down Ep, watched one reverse out of ep with fatal there, have everyone a good laugh lol), including one running a red which I figured they would and drove slowly if I drove fast I would of been t-boned...

Yea I know but everyone's whining about bad car drivers... The first day I think everyone was shocked about the speed and bad brakes, the second day everyone is getting used to it. Once people realize they don't have full control over 200 they'll slow down so they don't get banned :P
