Scale adjuster for convoy

#1 Post by fabby » 21 Jan 2022 17:14

Right now convoy mode enforces scale to 1:15 roughly and 1:16 for ATS. If the convoy host could select this themselves it would be great since it now is ruining 1:1 scale maps.

no adjuster needed.

@Max
Taking advantage of this topic, would it be possible to leave the map scale at the highest value it was before Convoy mode? (1:19 ETS2, 1:20 ATS). Some people participate in ranks and also like to run with friends. This new mileage calculation model makes this situation unfeasible, as people want to record as much mileage as possible to compete in the rankings. And the difference between running in offline mode or in online mode is very big. Thank you.

in convoy the game has to behave differently than in single player due to fixed time scale. and any solution with fixed timescale has its quirks.
we are collecting various feedback (thank for yours, btw) for re-evaluation and evetual re-design.

At much variable time scale could be used if all players would be inside cities (or other reduced time scale zones) at the same time. But that would work nice only on MP sessions in which all players were doing real convoys (not just sharing a session to be in touch) and I cannot know if there would be the quirks when detecting the moment the time scale has to shift.

So, from what I understand, the scale of highways has to adjust to the time scale. If the scale was 1:20(ATS) across the map, time would have to go faster. Thank you so much @Max . We are looking forward to news about this...

I sent you a private message a few days ago, @Max. But in short, that's basically what we're discussing here. I'm waiting looking forward for Convoy to change the scale one day, even as a mod.
