< real = < fun - Re: dual tandem trailer axles vs. single

#1 Post by Rivanwood » 11 Apr 2017 12:04

Yes, less realism in the game equals less fun. In other words, when things like the toll-gate first showed up on I-10 in Arizona, it was removed quickly because it was so totally unrealistic to the American highway system (we do have toll-gates, but not on interstate highways). In that same manner, single tandem trailer axles are a European design. In America, due to the added freight weight and the higher speed limits, dual tandem trailer axles are the norm, so seeing a single tandem in America is out of place and I, for one, would like to see this corrected; or changed back to how it was because I don't recall seeing single tandem trailers in ATS until today.

Rivanwood in addition to pusher axles mostly use by heavy hauler company trucks. SCS must add these axes as an option or as a Heavy/Oversize Haul DLC.

half correct. there are no toll roads in AZ so it dident belong there. toll gates are realistic, but only in the correct places
