Global speed limiter

[Scar]

Dear players,

 

With our latest patch, we included a global speed limiter to all servers. Apart from our simulation servers, all other servers are now limited too. The maximum speed of non-simulation servers is now 150 kph (93 mph).

We noticed that many accidents and instances of reckless driving were caused by driving at high speeds, so this is an attempt to reduce that and to improve the in-game experience of all our players. While we know some of our players are true professionals, we feel this decision was necessary.

 

We appreciate the feedback from our players. However, this time we decided not to ask for the feedback and opinions of our players as we sometimes have to decide our own path and future. We want to push simulation to TruckersMP and this decision has been made to be in line with our objective.

 

The speed limiters will remain active for an unknown period and are not intended to be temporary. We apologize for the inconvenience it may cause to you.

 

-TruckersMP Team

A pretty good rule is that a game far from dangerous driving is waiting for they

i think 93 MPH is a good thing the truck handles more stable and you can stop more quickley but there are still people that hammer down and still cause accidents  in the corners

It's a very nice step, it could fall even further. 

[Krewlex]

Indeed this should slow a lot of people down. We all know "simulation" is obviously when you drive your precious cargo as if you're on GTA or Need for Speed... Come on guys, simulation!

Agree ,but it is a good start....Thx tmp team

Thank you for this, hopefully it will make a difference to the game

fix the no damage mod pls

[SgtBreadStick]

BEST UPDATE EVER!!!!!

[Sticky]

Thank you for the new speed limit, it's a step in the right direction! 

 

Even though I follow the road sign speed limits, could you explain why this speed limit is also enabled on the non-collision/freeroam server as reckless driving doesn't affect other players there?

I am a little sad that we can no longer go the top speeds in the trucks on the big empty roads but am happy that cars can no longer speed at top speed as most people could not control them and they did cause alot of crashes especially on C-D.

I understand why this has been brought in, its a shame that thx to those who speed recklessly when they cannot control it and the trolls that the rest of us who could handle the higher speeds also can no longer go full speed safely but this does have its good points and 93mph is still pretty fast so its not all bad

I personally would like to see it increased a little but if not its no big deal and I do hope if it does not get any lower

C-D sure will be a little better without the cars going 250km/h and crashing into everyone  

 

Oh and to everyone who says trucks do not speed and its unrealistic well you are wrong

Spoiler

If the aim of removing speed limiter is to make a step towards simulation.
You probably would like to increase the population on EU #1 server. Since it is the proper simulation server.
You could achieve this by limiting player count on EU #2 to lets say 2000.
And closing down empty servers like EU #3 and EU #4.
That's gonna force people to stick on EU #1 and EU #2.
Now, since both servers gonna have traffic jam on the road. It won't be an issue anymore to drive alone on empty roads of EU #1.
And players gonna have a free choice between need for speed and simulation. Since there is gonna be only 2 servers respectively the NFS one and the simulation one and since both of them will be populated 90%, people won't be forced to drive on eu #2 anymore just because there is traffic jam, they will find traffic regardless which server they choose.

Thank you for this

Congratulations on the measure, totally in agreement 

[Asatelon]

I am very happy with that decision, because it is not a racing game. It is a simulator game. I am really happy that you made a topic about it. Not everyone will ask now "why I only can go 150 km/h" and if, here is the answer. I am happy, that this is sorted out now.

Anyway, there should be an 150 km/h icon now

I agree with @Killua // Ireland ^_^, I’m glad the cars can no longer go 3 and a half times the speed of sound on C-D road. But I’m equally disappointed that we can no longer go faster in trucks anymore, especially on the huge open roads- I reckon the limiter should be increased just slightly.

Very good idea.

 

I would even lower the limit. My old friend always said this: If I want to go fast, I'm playing with Formula One. If I want to get a truck, I'll go in the game with speed limits.

[enex SLOVENIA]

I agree with this change. Its about experiencing trucking with others not about speeding and racing.

Thank you

In my opinion, this update is helpful for TMP, because this game is more about simulation, It's not race game such as Need for Speed, Forza Horizon and etc.

I hope with this update we will have less trollers, rammers and less traffic jams on C-D road, but I think that traffic jams on C-D road will be until this road exists

This makes 0 sense... Whether it's 150 or something faster, it does not matter... TMP is going to s**t... Only the disabled rules regarding save-editing and now something like that... I am very upset with the latest changes from TruckersMP!

 

If you want to drive fast maybe you should play GTA 5 or Forza Horizon. 

[BOSANAC_88]

Greeting should you put 160 km, but some trucks like the Volvo and the scania quickly reach 150 km

If you want drive 90 go to EU1.

Let's be polite. This will control the Skoda which is great

[scotgamer2017]

TruckersMP is becoming a boring bureaucratic modification. I feel like it is turning into a voluntary 'prison'.
