[REQUEST] Better License Plates

#1 Post by 1A07PA » 24 Nov 2021 15:11

Hello everyone, since 2019 I was thinking about try to request a new thing that should be added to ETS2. I think it would be cool if you, developers would add new high quality license plates like below. In my opinion, for today the current license plates aren't enough today, since they are from game release and there hasn't been any changes for years. This would be cool for more realism and I am attaching screenshot below how it should looks or similiar to it. As example I took Poland license plate.

I would also like this to happen, the license plate is blurred probably due to a very low resolution.

more modern number plates would be nice.
UK plates have the year and month the vehicle was 1st registered on them. But buying a new truck with UK plates on in the game has them as 2002. mine says 62 which is june 2002. So they predate when the game was released. UK plates shouldn't have the EU bit on anymore either.

I fully support you. The soapy fictitious license plates that the SCS is currently using really mess up the look of the truck. Hope this gets improved.

I agree. Current plates look horrible! I use the WoT plate and sometimes when you switch truck, it gives you a random plate instead. Its just broken!

It would be cool if we could permanently edit the truck plate inside the game instead of doing it by save editing (i.e. i use the WoT plate and when i change trucks, next time i start the game a DAF is with the plate intended for a Mercedes)

2002 would actually be 02/52. 62 is late 2012; June of that year would fall under the 12 plate.

Totally agree, I'm tired of having to constantly make mods to cover up crappy SCS plates on every new truck released....

BTW, are the new fonts rendering in traffic signs also appliable to vehicle license plates?

every generated text uses new fonts.
signs, license plates, dash displays, UI texts, ...
