ATS 1.40 discussion

Turning left is more a guessing game right now...

Well it is likely as we have all 7 brands in the game but maybe they might wait until there are at least 2 models for each manufacturer which could be the case but I'm not sure about it

^I think you miss read Holzauge's post. He is talking about turning left at traffic lights based on the post before his. Not tuning is left in the game.

@Holzauge If SCS ever implements traffic lights like ProMods Canada, it would help with guessing without fines. Lights in real life have protected greens and yield to on coming traffic abilities. Either a solid green with an arrow or a green arrow with blinking yellow arrow. They both mean the same thing.

Some places in ATS have dedicated signals for turning left others don't just like IRL
Trafficsignals is simply not visible any more compared to aolder versions of ATS, it's a shame

I love the new lights, but the traffic lights are too "weak" for me, especially during the day.

The red turn left traffic light is already hard to see for me:

But the green turn left traffic light is nearly invisible to me:

During the night the red turn left traffic light is better visible to me, but even then the green turn left traffic light looks like a dim light for me.

Yep, definitely those lights need some tweaking

BTW has anyone noticed that when you are in the garage and have the heavy rain, the fog is IN the garage as well?

I agree about the current state of the traffic signals, especially the left turn ones. With the removal of the light flares from them, they're almost impossible to see from a distance. This needs to be tweaked before the end of the beta.

By mention "current" you mean from the start of OB, not on the last version of OB. But, probably it's just me, I saw a little improvement. Red and green are a little more clear than the previous one, but yellow is still orange. I think I know what devs have in mind. I saw this behaviour only during midday on a very sunshine day when the sun directs the light directly on the traffic sign, hence the reflection.

^When I played last which was Sunday, I noticed a slight difference myself. The traffic lights seem to get a bump in contrast a hair. I do think there needs to be some tweaking still though but its not too far off to me.

I was one of those who was not too hapy about the new lighting system in the beginning of the beta phase but after spending some time in the current 1.40.073 beta I gladly admit that I think the overall lighting is much better now than it was in previous versions. Really like what I see and think we are much closer to a public release of 1.40 than I could have imagined even a week ago. There is still work to do of course but kudos to the developers for fixing things so quickly.
