Wolf68k Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Suggestion Name: CB radio buttons to be more obvious Suggestion Description: Add some sort of symbols on CB radio to make it more obvious was to where to click to make changes. Any example images: none Why should it be added?: There are a number of times when I'm want/need to change the CB channel and I know I can click on the big dial next to the channel number but I have no idea where exactly so I'm blindly clicking until something happens. I also know that some where on there is another button to turn it on/off but again it's a blind-luck click fest until I get it. My first thought was to make it painfully obvious by adding white up/down arrows on the dial. But that would ugly. So another thought was what a more subtle grey or embossed graphics effect so you can see the arrows but they aren't in your face. As for the on/off switch maybe text of some sort or the now traditional power symbol as a button. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Biu] - Luo Shen Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi, the MP may not be able to do it, need SCS software company to change this, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 +1, this is sometimes useful. A improvement would be, that in the Night the buttons glow. So its not hard to click on them anymore. ^ The CB is not by SCS Software, TruckersMP has added it to the MP. In Singleplayer there are only some modifications and music files to let random people speak. (ex. "Midland CB Radio" in MAN TGA by MADster) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuliHD Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 +1 sometimes I can’t even see the CB buttons and I just have to click nearly everything to turn it off, since I have been trucking on TMP for more than a year now, I know where it is, whereas for another person, they won’t know what to do. - SpeedySuliHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.StεvƐ. Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 +1 especially if the buttons get centred better so it’s easier to adjust on the move, also a night glow wouldn’t go a miss and a selectable display colour. You can even go as far as to add a feature where the name of the player talking on that channel is displayed, which can help with pinpointing those abusing the CB . All of this will make using the CB a lot easier, especially when on the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaniaFan89 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 +1 i was gonna say make use of the phone buttons on steering wheels / dashboards but then only the newer trucks have them....so what about making a menu type thing that has simple control for volume, channel & on off. a simple left right to change channel or you can type it in or use your mouse scroll ( up is right & left is down ) theres also the fact the cb has 19 channels of which are mostly useless because unless your around people on the same channel you wont hear them & lets be honest most convoys will have their own chat group! people have asked for an admin chat channel but then you would have admins needing hearing aids due to having their ears blown out ( imagine 3500 people screaming in your ear in different languages at the same time ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caricature Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 On 11/19/2017 at 10:48 PM, Wolf68k said: want/need to change the CB channel my guess would be that you haven't tried changing the CB channels by opening the text bar and typing: /channel <insert channel number: (0-19)> But +1 to the suggestion itself, especially the on/off button as I have to squint especially at night, just to find it haha. A more prominent button / glowing idea / located further apart on the CB radio so as to separate between on/off and switching channel buttons also sounds good 1 Ex - GM & FM (S.E.A) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 I didn't there was a command for changing the channel. Is there a command that turns it off/on? Like /radio <off/on> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntackz Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Its a nice suggestion. i always tried hard to turn off CB in my old laptop never had luck, due to that i use to reduce the volume of game and play because many people do spam on CB. Later i purchase a new laptop and when you run game on Ultra graphics you can easily find CB switches.now i can easily turn off. i would suggest to change the colour of CB adjuster or add small led to adjuster so its easy to find during night time would solve the issue.

NeonLeon Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Yeah I can't see them sometimes too. But I think it would be ok with a button on the keyboard to switch. But like MettleMeat answered: you can tipe in the chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The HitMan Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 This is a great Idea, I struggle to see the Buttons to change the channel and turn on/off, this would make it a lot easier to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David E. Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 They could maybe change the color or add some light in the on/off button to make it more visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RequieB Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Yeah, that's a great idea. It has to be larger than red or a key assignment has to be made. But I don't know how much it's possible to do that.

itsd4nny_ Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 +1 great idea as the buttons are hard to find and i sometimes find my self clicking randomly on the cb to try and find the button to turn it off or change channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, if you want to know if your mic is broadcasting, there should be a white speaker icon in the bottom right corner that appears while the mic is open. The username popup for people speaking shouldn't be too hard to find, but it took me a while before I noticed how I could see if my mic was open with that white speaker icon since it is quite small.

russo_6599 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 +1 I agree with you, what would be more efficient is to redo the radio model, replacing the buttons and regulators with something more modern, such as "+" and "-" keys for volume and frequency and a key with the power logo.

.George Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 +1 At night, I struggle to see the buttons on the CB, especially with spring mod enabled. Having them perhaps glow would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiddy1050 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Honestly didn't know how to work the CB till one of my friends told me so i think this could be a good idea or even when your cursor over it then it could tell you then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaming. Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 This is nice, however you can always do /channel X with in-game chat, so you can focus on the road while driving and not looking up at the CB, so I don't see it needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
