Amazed Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Suggestion Name: Driving-direction of players in the map Suggestion Description: The color of the players on the ingame-map changes depending on their direction on the road. The color also changes if a truck comes to a stop. Any example images: Nope. Why should it be added?: It would make overtaking more easy because currently you can't distinguish a player on your lane and a player that drives towards you. Also upcoming traffic-jams could be seen easier. Additional comment: I know, that the implementation of this might be somewhat complicated, but through the magic of math it is pretty simple to calculate weather a player is driving towards you or with you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtBreadStick Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 +1 Perfect idea to have directions of that player like ets2map.com i think that is great. Also helps if you know there is a crash or not XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 hello, +1 wouldnt be a bad idea! The overtaking from players are causing the most crashes in-game! With this suggestion this wouldnt be a problem anymore! regards, ///goshawk_2k15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 If you like reality then switch off the dots. Simple Good idea+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reese - Use Caution Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Plot twist: Not everyone uses the dots. This idea doesn't make sense unless the dots are forced on for everyone. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killua // Ireland ^_^ Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) -1 Not everyone uses dots so this wouldn't really be very effective and I wouldn't like this anyway, I like the current system with the dots, one colour for players and another colour for friends This would ruin that and the changing dot colours would get a bit annoying Edited October 26, 2016 by DavidOC93 | Killua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i guess we could find a solution for this problem. And if you dont like it at all you could turn of the feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfmpillow Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Like I said earlier, I really like this idea. But according to what @DavidOC93 | Killua said, I thought of something else. What if they don't use colors for directions, but just an arrow attached to the dot? That will show you which direction they are driving! Also, if you turn your render distance high, you can see if players are stopped in a jam.

That might also be possible. I just thought about one way to do it, but the idea stays the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enf099 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 A very similar suggestion has been rejected recently. You can check it out here: As of our current project management's words, such a feature is not needed. For that reason this suggestion is being rejected as well, I hope you can understand it. May you have anything else, don't hesitate to message me. Cheers, en_field, TruckersMP Community Moderator. Usually findable between Western Germany and Denmark.
