SouthenLad Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hello All. Have you ever wondered about when a truck crashes in game and thought how cool it would be if there was visible dents, scratches and damage to the truck well what i would like to know is if you think this would be such a cool feature or would be annoying and i would also like to know if you believe this would be possible in the future and how you think it would be implemented if so. I personally believe this is something that would be very difficult to do in general but even more harder in multiplayer due to i believe the trucks would need some sort of server sync of the damage to see it and this could be very difficult however if there was a ets3 to be made maybe they would focus on that in early stages with a multiplayer. You could also say theres no need for a new ets as the ets2 community is so good. Lets see what you come up with. Kind Regards SouthernLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 There are three principle obstacles to overcome with this: SCS would need to obtain permission from the real truck manufacturers for visual damage, which often isn't granted. Vehicle licenses in games often come with clauses regarding whether or not vehicle damage is allowed SCS would then need to re-model all the trucks and trailers to be able to take visual damage If it was put in, you would likely see drastic performance loss in the MP mods After dealing with those three problems, you then have the issue in that trolls would probably want to create even more crashes just to see how badly they could visually damage trucks. It would be a terrible idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FernandoCR [ESP] Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Technically it should be possible. I still remember "Need for Speed: Porsche unleashed", where cars would take damage for any crashes, the damage would be vissible and the more damage, the less performance the cars had, up to the point that they could become unmanageable. Like, some crashes could damage the front left wheel, so the car would be "limping" on that side for the rest of the race/mission. But it's true what McclaudEagle says about needing permission from the truck makers, IIRC, SCS wanted to put some "classic" trucks in the game, but the manufacturers only agreed to have their latest models (at a given time) featured in the game.

Truckers / 3D Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I think this is very difficult to do, first of all, SCS needs to get the license and authorization of the main dealer. If you do this kind of physics, maybe people in the real world will compare it to ETS2. Look which truck is stronger. However, there is no guarantee that the future will not come! Such a comparison is not impossible! Truckers_3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cary- Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 If allowed, the game will become more real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrizzle Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 If so, SCS software would have to program this. Have a nice day. Chrizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed and this is why i did think about maybe scs would think about making a new game if they ever came up with this as they would not bring it into ETS2 as people love it the way it is SouthernLad Kind Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW_Driver Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The truck manufacturers will not, under any circumstances, allow for this. In the real world we, as commercial drivers live with the fear that someone would hijack or steal our trucks to use as a weapon that can do devastating damage and cost countless lives. Truck manufacturers live in that real world, and the last thing they want to face is a potential lawsuit in the event that some deranged person inflicted such casualties using a video game for ideas/practice, much the same way that Microsoft nearly faced a massive lawsuit when the 9/11 hijackers were found to have used Flight Simulator to practice for their horrific crime. The world we live in has been shaped by lawyers that are more than happy to file even the most frivolous of lawsuits, and companies both large and small exist in fear of those lawyers constantly, and have to spend crazy amounts of money on their own legal staffs to counter it.

Moritaka Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It is complicated for many reasons, ranging from the time That ScS will have to rearm the game and the physics of the trucks and not just these, because if one crashes into something [e.g. a car or other truck] these you should also suffer the onslaught of an accident. It should also be considered that ScS should obtain permissions manufacturers in addition to being able to obtain information on true or at least realistic accidents, in addition to having to separate types of accidents and how serious they are and considering the fact that no manufacturer will want their products to be affected by safety issues or similar. And one last serious topic about TMP since a synchronised one should be created at the time of colliding and would be complex by several factors and very difficult to achieve and implement, and that we don't consider that with hackers this could be affected many other things.

Thank you for your comment. yeah that is very understandable, Interesting indeed, hackers could may well be a problem. SouthernLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeEdition' Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Having realistic damage can be bad. Someone strikes constantly. There may be minor scratches or spots instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garsenault Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I actually really don’t want this to ever be a feature in the game and thankfully it probably won’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgpch1983 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 the licences scs has with the truck companys does not allow for it.. besides.. the roads would look like crash derbie grounds.. because nobody can really drive realisticly and defensively.. bad idea and will never happen!

Interstate Nomad Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Having a long background in automotive production and design I know that it takes enormous resources to calculate and simulate "realistic" damages on vehicles which doubtfully could be put into practice in this simulator.

Guest Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Big nono for a full crash model inplementation! The core game is driving a truck as close to irl as possible. I know everybody has their own way of playing the game, but you're not suposed to crash your rig on purpose, unlike dome games like beam ng, gta,... Of you wanna crash into stuff, cause havoc left and right, go install said above games. IMO crash models are a huge waste of time and recourses. On the other hand, I would love to see dirt, scratches,... just regular wear and tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
