Less AI Traffic?

Sometimes I like to play with g_trafic 9.9 https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... rbox=false

If the traffic wasn't insane on sideroads/at junctions, I would run it at 10 myself. I love intense highway traffic in game, but not being stuck at a light for an hour.

I was thinking of this a while ago...

Why hasnt SCS gotten more specific with their traffic yet?

For example

urban_traffic setting

rural_traffic setting

night_traffic setting

rush_traffic setting

I see nothing wrong with expanding settings out like so. I think my ats setting currently is 0.15 and ets2 is 0.25 or so...

@Izmaragon That would be a greatly accepted addition to the game if that ever gets done. I would personally love to see variable traffic settings, that would make the game immersion more realistic.

i also find the ai traffic very unrealistic, because at 3 AM there's no way the road get too busy like this

That would be ideal, even broken down by road type. A rural two lane shouldn't be as busy as an interstate.

Because they don't want to? I really cannot come up with a better answer. Gameplay enhancement is not on their roadmap. We keep getting more roads, more trucks, more trailers, more cargo, more tires and more cabin items. That's their primary focus besides game engine work (directx and sound)

Unfortunately, it's the only conclusion we can come to without evidence to the contrary. This has become an ever changing screensaver instead of a truck simulator.
