notnjx Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Suggestion Name: Speedometer on other players Suggestion Description:You press the letter, g, and you could see the speed of other players on their nametags Why It should be added: It could help people who are trying to overtake It could help to see who is going really fast (and therefore who you should be wary of) Sorry if my wording is bad or if this has already been discussed and rejected 2 5 ayop

PledgedMaster Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 I feel that this would be a great tool to have in-game. People could more easily overtake someone or just simply keep up with their pace. I know I have been playing multiple times with and without people I knew or was in a party with and it was very difficult to match speeds with eachother.
Babou71 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 Hello, This suggestion is a great idea. The admins could detect the "Speed Hack". To overtake an other player, this is a good idea !!!!! Regards, BABOU71 BABOU71, un singe génial #TPMP & #TMP
frnknstnp421 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 This would be a helpful feature, however I feel like it takes away from the realism in a similar way to the map. As an admin-only feature, I think this would be great. 1
Nemojr Posted November 3, 2017 Report Posted November 3, 2017 I love the idea to know what speed is everyone is driving.

As an admin-only feature, I think this would be great. It is not that far away from realism. In reallife a modern truck shows the driver how fast other vehicles are if they drive right infront of them. I think this is used for the adaptive cruise control. The german Youtuber " Sascha Fahrnünftig " shows a picture of his truck Tacho, his Truck shows him that the Truck infront of him is driving 90kmh while he is just driving 84,5kmh. Maybe it isnt possible to see the speed of someone who is driving on another lane, or who is to far away...or the speed of more than just one truck but it is possible to see the speed of the truck / car infront of you.

Trigzd Posted November 4, 2017 Report Posted November 4, 2017 As an admin only feature I think I agree with everyone else, this would be a great feature. However for normal drivers this might make the screen more cluttered somehow. I already dislike driving with any kind of HUD turned on for the same reason. I think as a driver you just have to be sensible with your overtakes etc.
notnjx Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Posted November 5, 2017 You could disable it, and with just a key press, no fiddling around in the tab menu or something ayop
Harii Posted November 5, 2017 Report Posted November 5, 2017 I think it's a great idea. It would be great for players who just want to drive peacefully.
_.Queen Rosalie._ Posted November 8, 2017 Report Posted November 8, 2017 I have to say this is a good idea, but, it only works if it’s either a tab menu only option or is for admin use only. There’s a few reasons fo4 this, one of which is that the name tags are already very cluttered and difficult to read unless you’re up close to someone where it’s super dangerous, the other is that you shouldn’t need to be concerned about how fast anyone else is going, what should matter is your own speed and what your truck is doing in relation to those ahead, I for one don’t really care about what speed someone else is doing and if I really want to gauge their speed, I just do it the old school way and match their speed with theirs and then look at my speedometer to see how fast they’re roughly traveling at. On 05/11/2017 at 11:39 AM, notnjx said: You could disable it, and with just a key press, no fiddling around in the tab menu or something That’s alright if yourkeyboard is easily accessed while on the move or if you don’t use a keyboard to drive with. I for one wouldn’t be able to disable it on the move because my wheel is in the way of my keyboard so I have to lean over it to reach any key past D. personally, if it was an extra column in the tab menu which read out the speed of those around you, a bit like the distance meter, then I can see a use, but adding it to the name tags just doesn’t seem logical, leave tags for displaying static information, not changing/scrolling numbers, besides, with lag and server desync, it’s going to be fairly inaccurate sitting on the name tag. 1
Interstate Nomad Posted November 8, 2017 Report Posted November 8, 2017 I do not see the need for such a gauge. Just follow these simple rules for a safe overtaking manoeuvre: Overtaking is only allowed if you can ensure that no other road user is jeopardized during the entire overtaking process. Overtaking is not allowed if prohibited by traffic signs (or in-game rules) or if the traffic situation is not clear. Also do not overtake in crossroads, at pedestrian crossings or railway crossings. Only overtake if you drive at a signifcant higher speed than the one to overtake. 1
xlhunter3 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Posted November 12, 2017 As much that I like the idea, it's just gonna take away realism from the game. In real life we don't the speed of cars and trucks unless we have a radar gun. Also adding this may increase lag for others 1
CreatorInDeep Posted November 12, 2017 Report Posted November 12, 2017 This idea is actually good.Must be implamented in-game.Like other's said good when overtaking and any other situations.
TFM matematrix Posted November 13, 2017 Report Posted November 13, 2017 I really like this idea, and everybody that says it takes away the realism: It is an optional feature! You don't need to activate it, just forget about it if you don't like it. But, of course, it wouldn't be so great for us players with steering wheels, but that woulnd't be too much of a problem. Hopefully this idea gets through In case I helped you to your satisfaction or you find my post funny, there is a green arrow beside my post. Click it to reward the effort, please
Jantjee223 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 Could be handy when you wanna go overtake
pleox Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 Good idea, but with a button to disable like for nicks/Tags. All was said, i guess.
NeonLeon Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 I think it is a great idea if you can press a button to see it or to see it in the tab. So it is good for admins and convoys too. Like that idea!
Syntackz Posted December 30, 2017 Report Posted December 30, 2017 Its a good suggestion and easy to find speed hackers and could be handy during VTC convoy and big events. but using this feature for overtaking is bad option because you need to concentrate on the speed tag on other truck and road while overtaking.I would suggest follow basic rules while overtaking someone. but If some people are having ping issues then there would be issue with speed syncing. This feature should be added for admins. Basic rules are explained in below link
ShadowWolf2k7 Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 ^ if everyone followed that people wouldn't be asking for something like this.
Samito_BG Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 ! Hello bro hmm i think for me that was a veryy good idea ! If TMP add that that will be nice because players can know info about another trucks and cant do a crashes... ! Bye Bye Happy New Year !
Guest Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 I do not like this idea. It's a simulation game. It should be as close to reality as possible. Can you see the speed of others in real life? No you can not. Realism must be frontline in this vote. If the player wants to overtake, he must pass using his own experience. -1
antrax737 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Posted January 4, 2018 ^ Realism in this game... right. Tell that to 70% of players in mp. Doing over 90, setting brakes sensitivity to the max etc.. Just had to say that. The suggestion isnt that bad, the problem is, the names load when players are near you so if someone is about to crash in u doing 140, knowing how fast he is going, 2 seconds before the crash, wont help. Nice idea tho.
TruckersNEW-Hao Nan Posted January 6, 2018 Report Posted January 6, 2018 I think it's a good idea to know more about how people drive. To do a sacred thing, one must work hard, and I know some rules.
MythicalNightfall Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 This isn’t a very good idea because 1, it would be invading their privacy I mean let’s be realistic, you won’t be able to view peoples speeds in reality unless your in law enforcement or possess a Radargun. So what’s the point In adding such a feature. Personally, it would cause havoc because the speed would drop and increase randomly and it would be another distraction to other drivers.
