Another Turn Signal Issue [NOTED]

[Blackspots]

Actually, in Frieghtliner trucks, the turn signal automatically cancels (Business Class M). Even the (old) Internationals do (D444T 3700/4700 trucks). My experience is that only Mack trucks don't automatically cancel (RD688S).

Really? Strange then they must change it for Freightliners exported to Australia. None of them here have self cancelling indicators, neither do Kenworth, Western Star.

Up until I drove a Scania, I thought it was just a given that trucks did not have self cancelling turn signals - given the nature of the job, and the complete morons we have to share our workplace with,

it only makes sense.

The Scania I drive atm, irl, the self cancelling indicator is a major PITA! It cancels when your second or third trailer hasn't even cleared the intersection, which people see as a green light to pass on the

inside.

As for someone saying they couldn't handle the option of a turn signal that didn't cancel, to they point they could no longer play the game....

It is a simulator. Heaven forbid it might be realistic

Don't know what trucks you've been driving, but every single truck I have driven did not have self-cancelling turn signals. I've driven a Mack truck, Kenworth T660, Freightliner Century, Peterbilt 386, Kenworth T660, and Kenworth T680.

It's never good to assume that if you haven't seen it, it doesn't exist. Every FLD and the one Classic I drove did not (most had the Grote-style, left-to-cancel signal switch with the pull on flashers). The 94 Volvo WIA I drove did not. The old Mack, the 379.. much more didn't than did, that I've driven.

Let's not compare 2012+ models to ancient times...

Auto canceling feature is not older than 2 decades in any vehicle...

Our trucks at work range from around 1999-ish to 2012.

The 1999-2002 or so Freightliner Business Class M do have self cancelling turn signals, but you have to move the turn signal stick to cancel the hazards (because the hazard is a pull out style under the stick).
2005 and on, they auto cancel, and have an automotive style hazard button.

We also have a couple 2010 Cascadia's and their turn signals auto cancel

The first two cars I owned (Peugeot 505, Ford Capri) were both built in 1979 and both has self-cancelling indicators. I'm pretty sure my parents' 1969 Saab 95 had them too, though possibly not the Morris Oxford which preceded the Saab. Though the Morris did have a natty green blinkenlight on the end of the stalk which, as was universal on proper Queen-fearing BRITISH cars in those days, was on the right.

My brother's 1979 Chevy Silverado had self cancelling turn signals. So did the 1979 Plymouth Volarie that my parents owned.

Comparing apples to oranges now, are we? Over an issue of self-cancelling turn signals. Here's the facts:
Many trucks have them
Many trucks do not
Trucks are not cars
SCS has already implemented the feature so apparently they agree that older style truck mods should have the option. And since no one is forcing a user to do one or the other, how about we just consider this topic closed?

Another issue with the turn signal. In the United States, truck turn signals do not automatically cancel. You're supposed to have the turn signal on throughout the entirety of the turn, and if the turn signal cancels automatically, the trailer would still be in the middle of the turn.

Volvo does, as early as 2006.
