Things That Should Be Corrected, Improved & New Ideas.

[gameking47]

Hello, I am a new member just started today. I am seeing a lots of signs saying "Welcome to Las Vegas this fall". It will be great to see the city of lights. That moved on to my ideas. After Las Vegas, what if we will continue building the USA one step at a time. For example,
Las Vegas sorrowing cities- After Las Vegas
Salt Lake City and sorrowing cites- Winter 2010-2011
and so on
What do you gut think? Can we pull this off?
Please!

that would be very cool

If this will happen than everyone have to buy new computers after the second expansion

Why would they need to do that? Many games have expansions that don't require a new computer as long as the requirement specs remain pretty much the same as the original game.

@Gameking47,

Welcome to the forum.

@Gameking47,

Welcome to the forum.

Thank you USA Trucker, I'm glad to be here.

Of course the expansions of the game will have the same requirement, but more MB. It will be pretty cool to create my ideas into the game. Like I said earlier, take it one step at a time so you do not have to rush.

What do you think? If yes, then I will make another forum that will say "Big expansion" or something like that.

Trailer physics fix.

Truck damage and physics modification. I think there should be some unlockable stuff that was taken out of the final or just by editing parameters something could be changed. Cuz now I have never had a flat tire,and my engine never got high temperatures, and it doesn't take damage from going on imposible rpm's like 16000. And then shifting R gear doesn't damage gearbox. And some other things. Would be nice to reduce hanging parts amount to 1 or 2 cuz now it looks silly sometimes.

- Reenabling some other old stuff. Cuz I saw that there is a "helicopter" named file in games dir. Would be nice to enable weight stations.

I completely agree with all of your suggestions.
Would love to see the occasional tire blow out, overheated engines and brakes, broken part, etc that incurs on a trip as it further adds simulation to the game. (when i drove OTR from North Carolina to California, trips without any incidences were few and far in between. Tire blow outs, stopped up fuel filters, clutch brakes, broken belts, truck computer malfunctions, injector problems, turbo problems, etc.. etc..)
Im not even going to mention problems with the reefer as there are too many painful memories associated with it

My other wishes for the game
-Realistic trannys. Yes there was 5 speed trucks at one time (macks for one) but the OTR trucks now are running at least a 9 speed transmission with the majority being 10 or 13 speeds.
-Weigh stations should have been added.
-The ability to use the running lights without the headlights for parking.
-Trucks in truckstops at night with their running lights on.
-Longer delivery times. (Yes, I had delivery times when I drove OTR but I had more than enough time to stop and eat, fuel, shower, stretch my legs, and trash around truck stops and still deliver my load with time to kill)
-More in game trucks in addition to the ones that were removed from the final game.
-CB chatter.
-Truck washes. Trucks should get dirty while running through rain, dirt roads, snow, etc so in game washes to return the shine to the truck.
-Manual trailer backing for loading/unloading.
-Customizable company name and logos
-Rest areas
had some others but thats all I can remember atm.

Actually the trucking games are more simulation to the real thing then alot of you may realize.
For instance drivers have been requesting better pay and more home time since I can remember and it always falls on deaf ears.
Trucking game fans have been requesting the above mentioned items for some time but our request are still falling on deaf ears LOL .

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

I moved your post here, as I believe this is more suitable to your post than Modeling. Most of your ideas fall into a patch/upgrade category.

As to your list...

1) I think weigh stations would be good if we had more States in the game, like 18WoS. However, we are for the most part only in California. If one would be placed it would be at the Reno, Nevada area.
2) CB chatter... Yeah, I mentioned that too, and would add a little more spice to the game.
3) Rest areas... The Russian upgrade added some more, but as of now the English version has not yet received one, and I don’t know when we‘ll ever get it.
4) Running lights... Yep, this seems to be a popular request.
5) Better trailer physics, and loading/unloading... This leads the list of improvements.

I saw one rest area near Santa Barbara

[USA Trucker]

You posted that before, and I deleted it because it’s not what we’re talking about. We are looking for more, not one rest area (Truck Stops excluded). I think everyone knows about the one near Santa Barbara because that’s where you pick-up Jessica.

[raven28690]

apart from having more trucks added, im still real partial to trucks getting nasty from driving in the rain and so forth.

its only cali but there are quite a few weigh stations in cali.
its been so long since i ran that state i had to cheat and break out my trucker road atlas and double check LOL.

yea, usa trucker hit the nail on the head as far as wanting more rest areas. i was aware of the rest area sign near SB and was disappointed when i checked it out and it was just another bar/motel
