Windshield Wipers Turn on Automaticly

#1 Post by Martin_M_ » 24 Dec 2017 12:20

I would like to see a option, under gameplay, where you could enable automatic windshield whipers. Why you may ask? Well, most new cars, and trucks have whipers that goes on and off by them self, so 1) its realistic and 2) It could free up a button on my steering wheel ;)

The rain sensor/detectors are already moddeled on every truck (I'm quite sure), so.. may have them work as well? :)

Well if they implent it it then should be a part of the truck costimization because it's an option for a truck, same as painted mirror instead of plastic

those sensors are already build in in almost every new Car and Truck, so no it is not an option

just like sensors for automatic light

The only car I know of that has automatic wipers is Mercedes. Never seen that in any American brand or Japanese brand.

Though it isn't... "automatic" in the sense of the word, my truck does have sensors for speeding up the wipers on particularly rainy days. So, I can just set it one notch and if its raining pretty heavily, it will speed up on its own without me having to touch it again. Additional note: I drive a 2014 Dodge RAM R/T.

My 2006 Ford F-150 XLT has automatic lights (off/on, but not automatic brights) and completely manual wiper control.

Most EU spec cars from 2013+ have this iirc.

Idk, it's realistic, but if you make everything automatic the game becomes boring if you ask me. When hauling around a boring stretch of highway the other day I was wondering if Adaptive Cruise Control could be a thing, but when you add that, auto-wipers, auto-lights etc, is there anything left to do for you?
It's a game after all, and imho ETS needs more challenges before making the game easier ;)
