Imagine going out of the truck.

#1 Post by stoked_dude » 08 Mar 2017 10:27

Imagine a feature or a mod where you could exit the truck to eat at a rest stop or a food exit when you became hungry, or go out to experience the environment currently around you, and imagine going inside a motel at night after parking your truck or going into the back of your truck to sleep. Imagine going to a local store to buy some water or drink you can put in your truck. I think such a feature would be amazingly outstanding and add to the realism of the game.

People have been asking that for years, even when ETS2 was first released. Nothing has been done so far...

Just use the dev camera to walk about like the rest of us. Perfect first person view.

Well, leaving the truck and going behind to have a watch would be nice, I agree. You can't see everything in the mirrors.

Sorry, but no, that's an immersion-killer. It is too hard to avoid all the clipping effects. And other cameras are not very useful when you are backing up, with other trailers standing nearby.

A new camera mode hovering steadily above the ground - like the "dropped" camera in the map editor - plus collision checking would do the trick. Just start short off the driver's door when selecting the cam. Could be utterly simple.

Please add this, like the TML Guys have done this in Fernbus-Simulator.

It's a truck simulator. Not a take-a-break-and-sleep simulator. I sincerely hope they never waste any time on developing something like this.

Next time you see a driver walking around his truck you should inform him how wrong this is. :D

I like how in FS17 you can walk around and manually strap down machinery and pallets, I wouldn't mind seeing this kind of thing in TS.
