FrostyDog941 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Suggestion Name: Beacons Suggestion Description: Beacons for all trucks to have just like euro truck simulator 2 for the purposes of loads like tankers and lowboys with tractors and bulldozers etc. Any example images: Why should it be added?: They should be easy and able to be added into american truck simulator multiplayer as there are plenty of trailers in the game such as fuel tankers and construction equipment and especially since the hint that oversized loads are coming this year they definitely needed for those types of cargo. So i believe that they are a long awaited feature that should of been implemented in the actual game why scs didnt add them idk but i think theyd be an awesome feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aestrial Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 This is something that would have to be implemented by SCS first, as TruckersMP can't add assets into the base game.

Trucking Gekco Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Need to ask SCS but I really hope beacons don't get added because they NEVER get used properly! No loads in ATS that I can think of off the top of my head require a beacon! There shoudln't even be any loads in ETS 2 that require the use of beacons, but players use them anyway. Why? "because it looks cool" or "Oh I get no lag so I'm happy! Oh, you get lag... well I DON'T CARE" Note to OP: Fuel tankers don't need a beacon I see plenty of Westcan trucks driving around WITH NO BEACONS. If they were required they would have been using them, in fact I don't even see trucks with flat beds using them. The only trucks with beacons I've ever seen have been the ones with pilot trucks who take up 2-3 lanes of traffic. Regular flat bed loads, even the flat bed loads in ETS 2 AND ATS can stay in their own lane and don't need beacons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshadow914 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I agree with Trucking Gekco, I only see beacons on trucks carrying wind turbines and trucks taking 2-3 lanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a nice new feature ingame . Too bad SCS have to introduce it before someone else can do And nooooo: I'm not that kind of driver who turns 'em on even if they are unnecessary. And I do not need 2-3 lanes, only one Edited January 5, 2017 by Mr. Blue Sky Nothing to see here. Keep on scrolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucking Gekco Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 2 hours ago, Jeremyv1990 said: well here in the us trucks hauling dangerous loads like fuel or oversized loads are required to have beacons in any amount of lanes Where, I've been in the US and have never seen trucks using beacons EVER. As I said, the only loads I've seen with beacons have been those that take up 2-3 lanes. I even watch YouTube videos of truckers in the US and still I have NEVER seen beacons used. Sorry, but I don't care what you're hauling if you can stay in 1 lane you don't need any beacons. Gas, propane, liquid nitrogen..... even DYNAMITE, what ever, if you can stay in one lane you don't need beacons period. That is the purpose of the dangerous goods plaque on the trailer. A beacon will not draw peoples attention to the plaque on the trailer, a beacon will not deter drivers from running into you. If someone is going to hit you, they'll hit you regardless. Beacons are more for night time when you can actually see them flashing better.... but at the same time can't see the load as well. The beacon is there to tell the driver "warning, load is bigger than usual". If you're towing a fuel trailer, you're still in your lane, you're not sticking out, and you're still the same regular size. No warning needed. Regardless SCS still needs to add this, you can complain all you want here. That won't do anything. I still hope that SCS doesn't add beacons because of these users who seem to think they should drive with beacons 24/7 because it looks pretty! If beacons happen to appear in ATS then I hope they will start to get regulated in MP. I'm fine with the pilot car beacons because that is just 1 light bar (or 2 small beacons). What I'm NOT ok with is users who have 3+ beacons with the same excuse.... "It makes my truck look pretty DON'T TAKE AWAY MY CUSTOMIZATION D:<" Sure, 1 truck doesn't really make a HUGE impact on performance, but add in 5 trucks and then you'll start to get performance issues.

FrostyDog941 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 ell youtube videos all you want ive lived it for years i ran with my step dad in a semi and saw trucks with beacons with oversized loads on them and their pilots so just cause youtube dont show it dont mean they dont exist because they sure as heck do! Just saying if scs released it for euro truck and not american truck well they fudged the game up from the very start i mean for fudge sake euro truck was so much bigger and had more to offer then american truck ever has american truck got screwed big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucking Gekco Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 ^ Go back and look at my original post then please. Did I ever say that oversized loads don't need beacons? If you're oversized then you take up 2 lanes, just barely. I stated "The only trucks with beacons I've ever seen have been the ones with pilot trucks who take up 2-3 lanes of traffic" My definition of 2-3 lanes of traffic is even slightly, not full lanes. If you're driving along and your load is on the white line then IMO your in 2 lanes. Of course the oversized loads use beacons, I've seen those videos. But for those videos with truckers driving around and seeing other regular sized trailers pass, no beacons ever. Once again, the beacons are used for those loads to tell others "HEY! my load is larger than usual WARNING" If you are towing anything like a regular sized trailer (box trailer, fuel trailer) you don't need beacons. Anyway, not going to turn this into a beacon debate, although I do wish that users would either use way less beacons, or just stop using them for unneeded purposes.

FrostyDog941 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 ok well then im sorry i guess i misread the post but i still believe that ats needs to have similar to what ets2 already has but because oversize loads havent been released for ats yet im hoping scs gets the picture and brings them into the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trucking Australia Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 This is a SCS suggestion and has nothing to do with TruckersMP. The TruckersMP team have no interest in adding beacons for ATS when this is what SCS should be doing. -- TruckersMP Rules -- Appeal Your Ban -- How to become a Game Moderator -- My Stream --Virtual Truck Log -- GlobEx Hub -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
