Weigh station pass device is blocking right hood mirror

#1 Post by hainan » 06 Apr 2017 06:16

Hi

[ external image ]

On the Peterbilt 389 weigh station pass device is blocking front right hood mirror. It can be fixed by changing the seat settings. But this time driving perspective is not what I want. It must be relocate other side of the mirror or it should be placed elsewhere. An option may be offered for users to be placed elsewhere. I did not check other trucks.
Game Version: 1.6.1.3s 64-bit
Always reproducible.

Best Regards.

It would make more sense to have the device at the other side of the window divider.

You have changed the seat position. In the default seat position the mirror is fully visible.

So long as the seat position is available within the game, without mods, then it has to be considered a bug. It is affecting stock game play.

You can't expect players to change seat position just because the wpass was put in a daft place.

Moving the device to the left of the window divider or even to the top of the window will mean it is never obstructing the view in any seat position.

Does that mean they have to check for possible obstruction at every zoom level as well?
Never argue with idiots. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

You should buy two more monitors so that you won't have to use such a wide FOV.

Couldn't this device just be an accessory? With some different points to attach it? Price zero dollars, if it is mandatory?

Depends natvander, if they put it in one of the places I suggested above, then it wouldn't even need checking on zoom levels. It simply can't be an obstruction in those places.

Unless you really want to look at your sunvisor or hood. :lol:

IRL, those are usually mounted at the top of the windshield to avoid such issues.

Also, IRL, you can just lean a little to see around things, but that only works in game with VR or TrackIR.

Also, IRL, that's one of those "Suck it up, buttercup," issues.

Also, IRL, hood mirrors​ have such limited usefulness, it's often left off of trucks entirely.
