[scs wish] External/additional Lights - Hotkeys

#1 Post by Stuferus » 03 May 2017 19:15

hello SCS-Software,

please consider to add the ability to set hotkeys for the external/additional lights.. i mean the to checkboxes in the F4 menu.. these need hotkeys to i can toggle them without pausing the game. its really minior, but would add 1 more % of realism to the game. why? becouse real truck drivers have switches for them too. :) - and no you dont have to model the switches for this.. the hotkeys would be more than enough for right now :)

thanks you very much.

what you mean are high beams they are on if you activate them wit the key for the normal light

what frustrates more is that the game decides to deactivate the front and roof lights without saying anything

i only have them turn off when i visit the upgrade shop, it reset the settings for lights. that said i only have extra lamps for show because the normal highbeam is enough light for seeing what i need.
OP i think keybindings for that would be waste of buttons i believe many wouldnt use it including myself.

i dont think so.. you dont have to map a button if you want.. i want to map a key on my keyboard for both.. the tickboxes in f4 could stay.. just there is the option to assin keys in the game options - for optional use.

yes but normally you activate them once and every time you activate the high beams the roof and front lights on the bars you install will activate too

the lights on top of the truck between the beacons

but sometimes the game decides to reset this setting for me and i have to activate the option again

like carl say, you dont switch them on off every time you use them, you switch them on and mostly stay that way, the f4 funtion serve the purpose for extra light perfectly imo.

well i dont think so..

thanks for all your comments on this.

whats more important for me is.. how thinks scs about this?

i want the hotkeys becouse it turns off/forgets the last state every time.. and dont want to f4 every time (which stops the simulation aka time).. also in mp i have to stop the truck becouse it would stop time.. i want to press a key while driving.. like in reallife to turn them on and off without time stoping.

just make it a bit more realistic and as a side effect getting rid of the "stop your truck to do this" thing in the mp mod :D

so scs.. what do you say? could i please have my hotkey for my roof and bumper lights? thank you :D

Forget the hotkeys. Just make it so they always default to enabled instead of disabled. :P
