Wishlists Megathread

[GT182]

@55sixxx, I've asked about repairs and upgrades to be done in our own garages. I did find one garage in a previous version of C2C where you could get get both. Look in the Carolinas, Georgia, or Tennessee and you might find it. But since having problems with my ATS the only map mod I'm using is Montana.

How about having open service shops ??? It's about time we finally have them in-game, just stopping outside of the warehouse and hitting enter to repair makes us feels like it's an 18WoS game.

Example: You place your truck in a dock, hit enter, a timer appears on screen (Just like when you load up your ownable trailer) as the workers fix your truck and then you're good to go.

Yes, the open workshops would be an advantage. You could also add it to ETS2. In ATS, you could then drive into a garage, like your own garages, and have the truck repaired. You no longer have to park the truck in front of the gates of the repair shops. That would give the whole thing a little more realism.

That's actually funny that we can drive into garages that look like repair shops and cannot repair trucks but actual repair shops have no accessible interior.
:p

55sixxx, they STILL didn't add a simple (and obviously needed) time skip to repair/service and you ask for an accessible service area? Come back in 2028 to check status.

You would think this would be easy to do even within the confines of the existing engine. We already have "trigger actions" defined in game (moving violations, weigh stations, border crossings, etc) it would go miles for realism's sake if there was a time assigned to each trigger action.

Examples:
Police Fine = 30 minutes
Traffic Accident = 60 minutes
Border Crossing = 30 minutes
Weigh Station = 15 minutes
Hazardous or Oversize Cargo at Weigh Station = 30 minutes (to simulate your permits being reviewed)
Overweight or Damaged at Weigh Station = 60 minutes
Refueling = 15 minutes
Truck Repair = 12 hours (*It'd be awesome if repair time was dependent on what you were doing but that'd be a complete rewrite of each and every accessory to assign an installation time but it could be done for example an engine swap takes 48 hours, but new mudflaps take 1 hour)

I've looked and played around for hours with every new update but I can't figure out a way to associate a time with a "trigger action". I'm sure there's a way SCS can do it though...

Having time be a commodity in-game would actually make you watch the clock and drive safely to make your delivery on time. As it is, time has no meaning other than for fatigue and even if I go hundreds of miles out of the way, there's more than enough time to make the delivery on time.

Speaking of that, it'd be REALLY awesome if delivery's had a timeframe to hit too (example: 6pm-8pm) to simulate appointments but that should be an option for only the hardcore folks.

That looks a bit like over doing it, you'd have to specify a few things, which make it a lot harder to implement, for example a fine from a speed camera, or red light camera shouldn't take any time.
Last time i was "caught" by the police for going over a white line it took less than 10 minutes (and didn't get a fine
Fines for minor crashes are absurd anyway, at least where i live most of the time they are insurance issues with no police involved and don't take up an hour, at best 30 minutes.
Damage at weigh stations only when it's something that needs to get fixes right away, and how are you going to fix an illegal trailer,..

^Considering time flies by in the game, Yukonjack isnt too far off actually. I'm not sure if speed cameras and redlight camers are even in ATS at the moment. Less than 20 states run speed cameras though.

We can't treat fine time like real time because time is scaled.

I think this is already in the game?

[Digital X]

It is in both games, been there as long as I can remember.

No, the game suggest a time frame but doesn't enforce it. You can arrive lots of hours before that suggestion and deliver the cargo anyways.

[Vinnie Terranova]

As far as I understand you get more XP if you deliver in that specific timeframe?
