ATS special cargo DLC

[ScientistMan96]

This has probably been asked several times, but I've not found anything on it.

 

The Special Cargo DLC just dropped for ATS, and when taking my first job in MP with it, I noticed it changes several key rules of the road in your favor, i.e. being able to ignore red lights due to police escort, and having priority for the same reason. However, said police escorts are not shown in MP, so how does this work? If ypu stop at the lights, your escort pulls ahead ans you get yelled at, but if you run the light you might get reported by other players, as they can't see the escort, or the fact you're hauling a special, since even if you own the DLC, other trucks just appear to be hauling a flatbed with janky physics.

 

Another possible issue would be hitboxes for extra wide loads. Do other players just phase through them, or what? I've never played ETS2, so I'm not sure how that game's special haul DLC worked in MP.

Don't take any jobs that are ST, they are likely going to set a kick system up like ETS!

Ah, so Special Transport are banned cargo in Multiplayer, then? And if that's the case, it should really be added into the rules for those like me who bought the DLC primarily for use in MP, as I never play SP anymore. I had just figured that it would be like the normal heavy haul DLC, and after a bit it would be worked in, though considering the changes it makes with the escorts and right of way stuff, I could see why it would be difficult.

 

Or far better yet, add a new server with AI Traffic enabled if that's the main blocker for the escorts. I'd happily play on an even more realistic server with AI, as well as other player trucks. Would make the roads feel less like a post apocalyptic wasteland out in the desert.
