unitedbattleship Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Somehow I will like to talk about the bends in the game. I consider myself a sensible driver in the game, as I keep my speed limiter on (90 km/h) and try my best to keep to speed limits on different roads. However there is something concerning the road geometry that has caught my attention. If we look at the Germany base map (the not yet remade part of Germany - i.e. south Germany) we will find the very very old map that was built years ago that had a lot of unrealistic sharp bends that just didn't make sense on a three lane autobahn (even at 80 km/h - the speed limit of trucks on the German highway); I know that the map is supposed to be 1:20 scale but still it doesn't mean that there should be bends like that in the game. I remember that there are even bends in Switzerland that are so sharp there's almost no curvature to it. I thought that this was a problem concerning the old base map only but in the vive la france DLC I discover that sharp bends like this still exist. Somehow I believe that these bends should be smoothened out as it feels extremely unrealistic to me. Does anyone share the same thoughts or is it just me? We're always nearly there.

Guest Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hello @unitedbattleship SCS makes maps for realistic cities and therefore the roads are the same as in life.We hope that in the future SCS will change the whole map to a newer one.

I understand what roads you mean and I can say that roads with similar geometry exist in the real world. Although I can not deny that it is possible to smooth them will be the right decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnl_Hugh122 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I can see where you are coming from but in some countries there are some tight corners on motorways. On another note although you may be doing the speed limit, this doesn't mean that you have to floor it at the speed limit, you could slow down as a lot of trucks do in real life when a sharp corner appears.
