ETS2 1.39 Discussion

[FreeTimeTrucker]

@OrionXIII thanks for the advice.

Hope they are gonna make some changes to FMOD so the interior sounds more muffled. And fix the shifting points when using the adaptive shifting. Since 1.37 they messed it up big time

[RoxyQuarry]

I am disappointed that there are no signs of the new truck, but hopefully we'll get some news on it at least by late November. Also @mgysgtdev you are right, the current shift points are terrible and hopefully SCS fixes this its a easy thing to do.

@OrionXIII AI drivers in the opposing lane do stop when you use their lane, but not the ones that want to turn the same way as you on this prefab. If you don't claim the turn lane they'll assume it's free. They don't have the intelligence of real drivers. If you don't believe me, go to the junction south of Calais (or anywhere in the ancient parts of ETS2) and experiment a little.

@RoxyQuarry yeah it's easy for them and hard for us since i tried to fix it but it is hardcoded

Anyone else seeing massive CPU usage when alt+tabbing out of the game? All my cores are loaded up to 100% and my PSU is screaming for mercy.

Did you have a map or job screen active while alt tabbing?
On one of those occassions I have seen the game CPU usage go wild.
If no maps, then it has been so quiet that I sometimes have forgotten that I was playing.

[mackintosh]

Nope, nothing active. Just alt-tabbing out in the mod menu and then at the main game screen. Never noticed this before. Returns to normal as soon as I alt-tab back in.

Also reported in bugs section, there is a severe inaccuracy with the low bed and low loader trailers, and that is the absence of size marker plates (for those who don't know the red and white striped signs on the sides, with the little lights) on the front of the trailer.
Under the European regulations any oversize cargo overhanging from the sides of the trailer has to be marked ON THE FRONT, and ON THE BACK, with 4 oversize marker signs.
These signs are usually tucked away under the small section above the fifth wheel, and are extended to appropriate length to match the size of the oversize cargo. see image below:

Other than this, SCS did an absolutely OUTSTANDING job with the new trailers. I'm really thankful to have these trailers, they add so much to the game, its unbelievable.

[harishw8r]

If I'm not wrong, we have them.
I pull the Schwarzmuller variant and it has the markers.

[dahaka]

Take a look in the trailer browser at the standard trailers, none of them has it. Maybe they intended to add them and released the beta before doing it, or they forgot about it. Anyhow, I, as trucker am doing my duty to inform SCS, so we can have a game as realistic and accurate as we can.
