Popular Post User_175326 Posted February 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Suggestion Name: Smart GPS Suggestion Description: The difference for this new GPS mode is that it will indicate the direction in which the other players are. Any example images: <br> Examples of symbols: Why should it be added?: This would help a lot in overtaking for example... Many improper overtaking and accidents happen because the player can not identify the direction in which the other player is heading. If you liked the idea let a ''like'' and comment Thanks !

DJ Lewis Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Not a bad suggestion, actually. It would definitely be helpful in overtaking on the C-D road, even though you are not meant to overtake there either way. But nontheless, a good suggestion. +1 Edited February 19, 2017 by DJ Lewis 1 If my comment helped you in any way, or you found it funny, click this button ↗↗↗ Truckers.FM No.1 Trance and Dance DJ • SCS Closed Beta-Tester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish Lad Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 That's pretty good but I'm not sure how small it would be as some players might not able to see it clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anriandor Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hello @Sr.Malboro, I think that is would be pretty useful, indeed. I do not see any disadvantages (yet) so I'd like to see this implemented. When it comes to the visibility and when players 31 minutes ago, The Scottish Lad said: might not [be] able to see it clearly then I'd suggest that they use the "zoom" that came to the game some months ago. Even though it is not really necessary while driving on the highway, it would make things way better when driving on country roads in rural places. Thumbs up! +1 Kind regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the visibility in crowded places, only testing and see which symbol is most visible... Examples of symbols: But if you're not in crowded places, of course the direction indication on the GPS will help a lot. 16 minutes ago, Kravaty said: *cough* I had not seen this suggestion, if joining the two would look interesting ...

I think though that there should be an option to disable it as well cause in crowded places, it might take a toll on slow internet connections with all of the movements of the arrows and receiving the update from the players movements.

User_175326 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 I think this will not affect much as there is already the location of the person on the map, what will change is just the arrow pointing the direction of the front of the vehicle. Maybe in crowded places, most people who have a bad internet or pc already have to avoid crowded places, To prevent the computer from locking and you end up being banned by ''blocking'' PT-BR / PT / ESP / ENG *Recent suggestions* Smart GPS: Click Here A more practical report system: Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBenji Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I totally support this idea! Big +1 from me! I would prefer seeing the direction of users in the GPS than @Kravaty's idea of showing it in the tab. Sorry Kravaty, I just feel it would be more convenient for me, because I don't have the time to look at 80+ players in the tab list. But hey, can I suggest a small modification to this suggestion? I'll steal Kravaty's idea of distinguishing people at stop (or barely moving). I'm just messing around, all credits goes to you Kravaty for suggesting to show people not moving. My thought was about showing the arrow when someone is moving a certain minimum speed, otherwise it would just show a dot in the GPS.

Did you mean adding an option to disable player's orientation? I know there's currently an option to simply hide players in the GPS. And on a side note about sending/receiving data about the truck movements, I think there could be optimization in the multiplayer mod. But I honestly have no clue on how exactly the developer implemented it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_175326 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) It would be great to have a response from Developer's point of view.

AllstarDK Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 +1 from here, this would come really handy If the resolution can be done well, then it would be much easier to identify whether people are driving the wrong way or what not. But! What happens in high density areas? I imagine it won't be to much use there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A random Elk (D) Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Very good Idea, might be helpful when trucks park on the c-d road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anriandor Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 And now, @Hannes (GER), you should know the legislation or better, TMP traffic laws. If so, you would have (especially as a veteran driver) known that parking anywhere on C-D is strictly prohibitedand will be punished. Take this into account next time.

A random Elk (D) Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 @Anriandor Just that its forbidden does not mean that people dont do it. Its the same with overtakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBenji Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I think there has been a little misunderstanding. From what @Hannes (GER) said, I understood that the smart GPS feature would help to detect if anyone is parked. Usually, people get kicked for doing so, or get a short ban.

SadisticSweety Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I really, really like this. Much better than dots xD - also another idea, for symbols. You can always keep dots, however, maybe color half of the circle with red, which would be the rear. Also, short ban for parking? May be a little off-topic, but I do hope that someone pulling over to run to the restroom, is safe from that lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
