ATS 1.41 discussion
Re: ATS 1.41 Open Beta discussion
^You are referring to bobtailing. The one I noticed is the glitch with the dolly but yes I agree. Bobtails should be apart of the game. It was noted that people complained about them and SCS removed them unfortunately. Just like they removed the moon and the retarder. But for some reason, they brought the retarder back and its the one thing that does not exist in North America really on big rigs. But bobtails and the moon does exist and they were removed . I strongly disagree with that decision to have removed them in the first place. I had to make a mod to bring them back but bobtails happen all the time in and out of the city.

I recall somebody explaining that most of Allison transmissions must have a retarder because they don't (IRL) and shouldn't (in-game) work with engine brake (something about torque converter turbine being able to apply force only in one direction).

Re: ATS 1.41 Open Beta discussion
Actually I drove a Freightliner Columbia for a year or so that had some kind of Mercedes engine in it, it had a retarder. Initially it scared the crap out of me running the mountains here in BC but I soon discovered it actually worked as good as a jake except it was too quiet!
Re: ATS 1.41 Open Beta discussion
I never looked into it but from being on here and seeing what people post, the Allisons that have them are buses and non class 8 trucks with fifth wheels. If retarders are so uncommon on NA trucks but the moon is a constant real life natural element and with bobtails being quite common, I don't see why the more realistic things mentioned can't be in the game.

You have the moon, it is the new moon cycle though rather than the full moon years back

New moon doesn't work. We need more night time ambient lighting. If not a full moon, we need Crescent, Quarter or Gibbous at least. Preferable Quarter or Gibbous though.

Re: ATS 1.41 Open Beta discussion
A little off topic, but I’ve always found the anti-retarder arguments a laugh. After reading numerous articles and forums I’ve come to the conclusion that there must be no mountains or heavy trucks in Europe (or anywhere else where retarders and/or European trucks are used).
Never argue with idiots. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Different approach to the same "problem"
