.StεvƐ. Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Suggestion Name: No Trailer Rule at Race Track Suggestion Description: To add a rule banning people from taking trailers onto the race track Any example images: Not at this time, but is self explanatory Why should it be added?: Since the Launch of 1.3 Compatible version, people flock to the race track, most do the sensible thing and either drop their trailers out of the way or cancel jobs, but others don't bother and go racing with a trailer attached, not only is this dangerous because racing with a tractor versus racing with a tractor and trailer is hugely different. First of all, the trailer has its own physics so taking a turn at speed can cause the trailer to tip over and to roll the truck, blocking the track and potentially causing accidents, anger and damage to other drivers/racers. Second of all, because the trailers take up so much space behind the truck, its hard to race with people or to pass people with a trailer because the track isn't wide enough in places to allow you to pass. Thirdly, ive personally noticed a lot of people abusing the track with trailers when admins have been away from the area, meaning they ram people off the track by flicking their trailer around and swerving across the track, as well as blocking the track and purposely causing issues. All in all, trailers should not be taken on the raced track, they should be either left outside the track where no one can hit them or the load should be cancelled beforehand. Not to mention that IRL, truck racing never occurs with trailers attached for the above reasons. You cant get the best out of your truck because the trailer will always hold you back and cause you to race like a little old lady. Having an official rule will also clear up the arguments people have in chat and on the CB about whether or not youre allowed trailers and who did what to whom with their trailer on the track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the bored hermit Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I agree I think the only realistic thing to go on race track would be a car so +support on this idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scandinavian Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Some admin earlier said that it was not allowed but i think it is now so +1 from me. I took a pill in ibiza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caff!!! Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Trucks with trailers make for easy targets for trolls to hit. Some clarification for this rule would be useful.

.StεvƐ. Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 ^yeah, people do not know how to race with a trailer at all, the physics are so much different that youre more of a danger to others than if youre driving just a Tractor or a car around the track at speed, not to mention it spoils the fun when some person drives on with a trailer and lumbers around nearly tipping over on every turn.

8bit Chaos Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yes, please make this a rule, I see no reason to bring a trailer on to the first reason except to troll people. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Pingu_ Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 i agree becuase trucks with trailers cause more over steer so if a car was coming on the outside the trailer would follow the tractor thus cutting the car off making him swerve and crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlavaH Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 +1, trailers seem like an added annoyance when racing, and people only do it to troll other users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzricky Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I don't think I've ever seen someone bring a trailer to the racetrack. Maybe I've just been fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeKnYan Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Races with trailers is allowed, but it's annoying and perfect opportunities for trolls. If my post helped, don't hesitate to click that green up arrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp14 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I see no reason to disallow it. If someone wants to be troll bait, let them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecypert Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I like this idea. However, the game is technically "American TRUCK Sim" not "Nascar 16". So with all due respect, should just play a racing game if you want to just worry about racing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
separnz Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 this is a truck simulator not a race game if so go play forza... scout cars in my opinion are a great thing but so many use it as a race car and always total around corners... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDeere714 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Also the trailers can get really glitchy too. Also the track is designed just for a truck, no trailer. Lastly, Trailers alter the trucks performance, making it slower and harder to stop,making it only for the most experienced drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[RSL] Chio San Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I think it would be logical without a trailer to appear at the racetrack. But I also see no reason to forbid this as long as you do not hinder other players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caricature Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 This is not the actual "official roads" anyway.. People are there at the race track to be in a fun area, with trailers or no trailers. Personal preference, hence such a rule shouldn't be enforced. You might wanna race with trucks only. Others may want to race trucks+trailers with their friends. Others wanna race with the car models. Unless there's an official event with certain rules in placed by TMP at a certain point and timing, then no.. a big -1 from me.

Unless there's an official event with certain rules in placed by TMP at a certain point and timing, then no.. a big -1 from me. But the thing is, it's down to personal preference as you said, but why should someone who wants to use just a cab or a car be forced off the track by a couple of people with trailers? If you want to race with trailers, then ideally you should book time on the track with your friends because not everyone ever wants to race with trailers, TMP should always be about equality and having respect for others, including the race track, because you think how much track a truck and trailer takes up when taking those turns. plus, this suggestion was made when the track was first introduced in MP and people flocked there to race it and you had trailers dumped on the track, you had flipped trucks, it was a mess to even go near.

I agree in a way, as long as there's no blocking or foul play, then it's fair game, but you'll always get those who spoil it for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caricature Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 This is very similar to the issues faced along C-D in ETS2MP EU2. No one is forcing you off the roads. TMP is equal and respecful as it's open to everyone. If you think it's a mess and you'd prefer against such situations, switch your server and hope for the better or go to the race track at another timing.You chose to drive/race there with a car/truck. Others chose to drive/race with trucks + trailers. It's not against TMP rules unless they pull the trailer with a car and are driving/racing. That's what personal preference is about while keeping within TMP's rules. If you feel it's ideal, then I would suggest that you changed your suggestion to "Booking time slots for ATS racetrack" with the reason that "people can have specific race events allocated for themselves instead of random people showing up doing various events simultaneously". For me, -1 still stands, I'll be happier just avoiding whatever that I feel against my personal preference and head to the race track at another timing from the fact that the ATS player pool is so small compared to ETS2 and peak periods are pretty much predictable. Have a good one. Ex - GM & FM (S.E.A) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 If people want to take their trailers to the race track, they are free to do so. It might not be the smartest idea, however, there are no plans to restrict the usage of trailers in that area. Other than that, who plays ATS anyway? The number of people there is very low and thus, there is no need to add a rule specifically for that area only. Rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
