^ More specifically its under About > Truck browser when you are at the main screen.

And what does this means "No AI vehicles with DLC in motion."? No DLC no AI? And I may hope so it will be a DLC for the non steam and steam players.
I'm beware that the non-steam users don't get all the new things like trailers and stuff, but "No AI vehicles with DLC in motion"

[SiSL]

It means there will not be AI hauling heavy cargoes that come with DLC or no new truck AI for performance reasons.

[xDope]

for performance reasons.

I'd also say for sanity reasons. I'm sure its difficult to code AI with such long (possibly multi-pivotal) trailers. Only the users get to enjoy this new feature, not the computer drivers.

Some time ago Max wrote that if you use hazard warning lights AI traffic more attentive around you.
Why SCS don't use this feature in this case?

[SiSL]

two reasons:

1. More AI attention and to other AI processing power, you are a programmer, you know how check loops work
2. Schwarzmüllers and possibly this DLC has great polygon count , too precious to give AI and may be run in same screen more than once. AI uses Lod1 of other trailers, possibly no time to get those for multiple lods.

[piva]

No AI traffic nust be optional, because people who have power pc, can see traffic, in my opinion.

[Mohegan13]

I think it's more a case of the AI is stupid and would have no chance at manoeuvring this type of trailer without issues.

[SiSL]

AI trucks can't turn in France with normal size trailers

In Romania it would have been even harder, cuz there are illegal parked cars everywhere. At least in France there aren't any...
