When Pigs Fly!

Don't at me, I'm pro-law enforcement in real life, I just couldn't think of a better title lol. Having said that, ATS almost seems like a police state. I swear every 3rd car I see is a cop car xD.

But anyway, I don't know if there's already thread dedicated to accidents, but I've had a few doozies. Most have been staged however, like the one above haha. What I do is, when I'm done for the day, or taking a break, I save my spot and then go take some frustration out on the annoying AI. That night when I was done, I saw that Roscoe and Enos had the Duke boys pulled over so I went over to give them a hand. Bo and Luke were jealous of the air Roscoe caught here.

It turns out cop cars serve as pretty good ramps.

Missed them by that much! I think they're in shock.

Well I guess it's not just cop cars haha.

I tried to drive off a cliff once, but turns out there are some invisible barriers, so I canceled my trip to the Grand Canyon. I also learned it's impossible to lose a trailer xD.

Went bowling through another intersection here. Looks like a strike to me.

This accident was legit. Ooopsie. Coming around that bend just north of Burns and I couldn't stop in time. That car must have one heck of a roll cage.

No fair, how can the AI cause this type of damage? I can hit cars head on at 100 MPH and it doesn't even leave a scratch. But yeah it would be nice to see this kind of carnage when you hit something. Where's that suggestion thread?

When I'm not creating accidents, I'm saving the day. I had an escort delivery to Tucson but somehow this car had tipped over around the corner blocking both lanes of traffic so things ground to a halt.

Hmmmm, what to do? Call 911? Reload the game? g_set_traffic 0? Rage quit? Nah, that's bush league. Just unhitch the load and nudge him back on his tires. Reignman's pro tip of the day.

And we're back on our way. I was actually expecting the delivery to cancel on me because I passed the escort vehicle, but hey it worked. I figured it was worth a shot xD.

lmao you smashed into everything

Haha yeah, that's how I let off a little steam when I'm done for the day. The AI drivers are that annoying. After I save the game I just go cruising down the road looking for something to crash into at 90 MPH xD. I've learned that you can get some pretty good air from the sloped hoods of oncoming cars. Checkout this jump.

lmao You should buy a more powerful engine and disable the speed limit on the truck and see what happens.

That would be fun, but I don't know how to modify truck or engine settings. I think I already have the most powerful engine, but I'm usually carrying a full load. I like having the extra mass when I go barreling into a pile of cars like at a red light or something.

Here's my best jump yet I think, trying to jump the canyon lol. Turns out a row of motorcycles makes for a pretty good launch pad. 600hp in this truck, but I wasn't going as fast I could, mostly because of all the sharp turns.

That's some serious air with a load of gravel.

Heads up!

[ external image ]

Cleared the barrier easily.

[ external image ]

And over the cliff I went.

[ external image ]

I was surprised I didn't hit one of those invisible barriers that keep you from falling/jumping off a cliff. I've tried to go over a number of them, but this is the only one where I made so far. Probably because they don't expect you to get past the concrete barrier haha.

My next goal is to punt a car off a bridge somewhere, or jump off one myself. The road to Jackpot has a couple ideal looking bridges for punting cars xD.

[RightLaneGaming]

Yes that was a big jump, and there was problably no invincible wall because what you said lol.
How about those little dirt piles before the wall barriers? Maybe SCS made their colisions as a ramp (rathen than a box).

Haha nope, I thought the same thing, but hitting those is like running into a brick wall xD. That goes for any mountain road that appears to have a steep drop. There are invisible barriers that keep you from going over, unfortunately. Sometimes you just want to bump an AI car right off a cliff.

Oh and careful of the tornadoes just west of Gallup. Ran into an F3 not long ago. It was a clear day too, so you never know when they'll strike.

Haha did I call it or what? I finally punted a car off a bridge and it was the highway coming out of Jackpot. My first attempt too, so it didn't take long xD. I think I was going about 90 MPH when I swerved into him at the last second. And I measured it, that's a 106 foot drop xD.
