maltemax211 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hey guys, I would love to hear your thoughts about a new speed limit for cars. Since the 1.37 appeared the handling of cars is much better, than before and you can drive higher speed's without any problems. If I'm driving with my friends in some trucks, I like to drive realistic truck speeds, cause the game focuses on realism. But if I try to get fast to my destination, with a car, on the Autobahn, it's pretty annoying, to drive with just 110 km/h,which is a pretty unrealistic speed on the Autobahn. So I would love to see a new speed limit for cars, that would allow us to drive speeds like 180-200 km/h... Drive safe guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zysto Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hey there and welcome to the forums :). I halfly agree with you on this, while 110 km/h being the current limit is kinda slow (for cars atleast) i wouldn't take it as high as up to 200 km/h in the beginning. Maybe start with smaller steps (e.g 130 km/h) and analyze how it impacts the game. Also, if you want you can make a suggestion about it here: https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/forum/285-suggestions/ It will be looked at by a staff member and then they will decide if they accept the suggestion, decline it or open it up for public discussion which involves us, the community. PS: You drive safe too Best Regards Zysto Have a nice day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthro _Pony Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hello, Its nice to share your thoughts ☺ Well Im not sure if it would be really good since most of typical players that like to speed can really handle their vehicle at high speed. Since the current speed limit is supposed to decrease and prevent accdents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltemax211 Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Yeah you guys are right, some people just drive without any respect to other drivers, pretty annoying... It's too bad for people that want to drive legit. It would be very interesting to see the impact from new speed limits. Thanks for your answers.

Project Manager Luna Posted July 5, 2020 Project Manager Share Posted July 5, 2020 From a simulation point of view, a higher speed limit for cars would be better because cars have different speed limits in real life as well. However, the physics of the car ingame is way different from cars in real life. We did our best to improve the physics and steering behavior. ETS2 and ATS are truck simulators and there are some things we can't change. The game does not have a way to determine whether you are driving a car or a truck (for the game, the car is a truck). We can't just change steering behavior etc. As you might know, you easily loose control over the car when breaking or driving very fast. In real life, this effect is not that intense. This fact makes it impossible for us to raise or remove the speed limit for cars. We don't want any more accidents. I hope this is understandable.

chipmunk197 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 i think the speed limit should be lower at least set to the road speed limit would reduce so many more crashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strad Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 No changes to speed limit will be made anytime soon, the team has no intentions to alter the limitations as mentioned by a team member a couple weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, also the sound stops at 125 MPH ( you just hear the wheels ) unless FMOD changed that? But yea driving the car at speed is a death wish, i will openly admit i have lost it at 68 MPH while slowing for bends due to the car wanting to rip itself a new one & on ATS its like forcing two magnets to repel each other, you simply open a black hole & all hell breaks loose...

Oh boy, I've just about lost count of how many times I've lost grip joining the highway on a steep downhill corner, indeed a huge pain. You also have to consider the "hit box" of your car while overtaking a truck - cut them off accidentally and it'll send them flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, i wondered why that happens when cars overtake you....How much longer or wider is it than the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltemax211 Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Yeah I had the same problems in the past, but after the 1.37 Update the cars are much more stable and I drove long distances in the singleplayer, with an average speed of over 150 km/h with my logitech g29... The car was stable the whole time and I never lost control. That's why I thought about a higher speed limit... But I haye no experience with a keyboard, is it still undrivable at higher speeds?

I usually try to maximize the distance with other drivers before joining back the lane, I've had few occasions where I joined back too early and sent them to mars - quite literally, and I felt terrible. I figured leaving at least 3/4 another car's worth of distance is safe, anything lesser/nearer than that and you'll be putting them at risk.

Interstate Nomad Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 The tale of the Autobahn where everybody is allowed to drive as fast as they can is simply spoken a myth. The few areas without a speed limit are not even worth accelerating because there are so many road constructions on the Autobahn that will limit you to 80 km/h or even 60 km/h for countless kilometers. Driving at 180 to 200 km/h is therefore far off realism and dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komo02DK Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I dont think we need to set the speed limit up... 110 km/h is a fine speed for online Komo02 | LOE Streamer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Danish & English ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twitch ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically like irl then, because if you pulled in as close as people do in game you would end up like Jack Joy from Car Throttle in his Golf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always better to leave a safe distance - sadly quite an amount of players don't understand this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky {20} Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 i think 110 km/h it's a good speed in Tmp. And i think they don't change this "speed limit". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mineiro Uai Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 If with the speed limited to 110 km/h there are many accidents involving the cars, imagine with the increase in speed ... It's a bad idea!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a full car length that'd be considered cutting off the vehicle and is illegal, or at least it is where I'm from. Even if you're not hitting the other vehicle though, just cutting in like that is still a dick move, especially since you've removed any safe stopping distance that truck had if something suddenly happens.

FernandoCR [ESP] Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Cars in TruckersMP have been the preferred weapon for trolls since the moment they were released. Allowing them to have a higher speed is only giving the trolls a more powerful weapon. Some players can use the car properly, sure, but that should never be a reason to justify enhancing the trolls arsenal. So no, thank you, there are lots of games out there where players are supposed to drive cars as fast as possible, TruckersMP is not one of them. If you need to reach a destination, you can always find jobs that will lead you there, so you can use a truck, get a profit and more importantly, you will be doing what's supposed to be done in this game/mod.

James Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Hello, I think cars should remain having the 110km/h limit. If for example, the speed limit got increased for cars, there would most likely be more collisions occurring. I understand that cars have different speeds, but I think it should stay the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonLib Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Hello, I fully support your idea. Maybe, TMP need to set 120 or 130 km/h, but also - reckless drivers still on server. Maybe we need also add exam, and admins will say - can you play TMP or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sis'Luna Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I am for speed increases up to 130 km / h for cars It is so unrealistic that cars drive at the same speed as trucks in the game. if there is an accident they must assume the consequences and the victim must report it and make the video for the banishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Quality Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 @Lasse A method of detecting the cars would be for the game to detect the car's wheels which are unique to cars only and then adjust the speed limit accordingly. This detection feature is already implemented for police lights so that admeeens can use sirens (which are all server side), so theoretically it would be possible to have a different speed limit for cars as the server can detect that they are different from trucks. Practically though, the speed limit for cars should not exceed 80 mph as that is the speed limit in atsmp for all vehicles and that hasn't led to disastrous consequences. The handling of the Skoda (and any future cars) will always be a limitation. Regards, Quality_Productions Kind regards, .Quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
