Hello everyone,

I got a question that, maybe, has been asked many times BUT... How to do the daily rest (and midday rest as well) when playing online with Promods.
I tried yesterday and, while I was stopped in a gas station doing my 9h.. I've been kicked from the server and my rest time did not count.

Thank you & Happy kms !

Attention #3! In case the hot keys do not work, try to run the program "as administrator"! how do you run program has administrator please

Annoyingly this seems to knock the g27 ffb plugin from working properly. Anyone else have this issue?


Nevermind after a bit of fiddling I got it working again by adding the g27 id into the ffb plugin config (never needed to do before as it was the last pluggin to load however this now loads after, Maybe alphabetically I spose)

hello @knox_xss I realised if I move time in console, then the rest time won´t be taken into consideration properly. Now because I moved time with console, it shows like I didn´t take the 9h obligatory rest (I changed it from 11 hours) so I have -9 hours and tachograph voice is telling me that.

Only rest spots count for resting time? You can´t stop anywhere and rest? How can I fix this?

You wrong. Or you did something wrong. Or you don't understand how it works.
The reality is this: if in the program "Minimal Full day rest time" is 11 hours (for example), and you in console move the time forward 11 hours, so "Rest time" will be "11:00" or more, then it will be counted as a "Full day rest time".

Nope. You can stop anywhere.

I should preface this by saying that I do love this mod, it adds a dose of realism missing from SCS games since its only brief, basic appearance in Haulin' and has been implemented in other games only further proving the fact that a tachograph, as annoying as it can be at times, should be a part of a true simulator, whether it be an optional feature or fixed.

I hate to make requests, and I understand how thinly stretched a modders time is - you all have real lives and those should absolutely take priority over these hobby projects we are truly grateful for - and so I ask only if it may be an easy/planned feature to include.

Would it be possible to add an option to export data to, for example, a csv file ? With real tachographs, whether that be the increasingly rare analogue or the standard, obligatory digital variety, there is a physical record avaliable, and the ability to look back through a certain number of records.

If this has already been requested and there is a reason not to include this, then I apologise for further beating the horse.

I think it would just make an interesting feature - if you were driving an older vehicle (such as the Mercedes SK, for example) where using the csv file, a spreadsheet program and some trickery, it would likely be possible to create an analogue tacho chart of your daily activities, or for a modern vehicle, a printout. Just for that extra immersion.

Of course, none of this is necessary and so this is only a 'if you got the chance and it wasn't any hassle' request, perhaps just something to consider if you planned an update at all.

As it goes the mod doesn't need anything else and is a great addition to further improve the immersive simulation of the game, for which I thank you!

@JETLogistics Thanks, mate

About this...

To be honest, there are no plans to update the program yet... but the idea is good. Agree with you. Perhaps in the future such a function will appear. Thank you
