ETS2 1.45 Discussion

Dear @ThunderSky, why would we care for something invisible to all players? It just looks like the whole Profi Liner trailer was copied, then they added new name, and changed the skin a little bit...

[ThunderSky]

@bumbumek That's the exactly what happened.

I'm glad, that I'm not the only one who thinks this way...

@55sixxx it was me who reported this.
I reported this because 5th wheel was so high that you could not attach any owned trailer with suspension all the way down. So cool down a bit.
That report was reopened again yesterday to fix incorrect height of coupling.

I don't know if this bug appeared in a later build but, in the first three builds of 1.45 ( Three builds after the MAN got the jost 5th wheel) I was driving Man TGX EL3 and I haven't encountered this issue, I know devs won't just modify something that was reported unless they were able to reproduce the issue themselves, anyway I think that fix is a step backward in my opinion, as there is a big gap between kingpin and 5th wheel, I remember reading multiple times here that the 5th wheel 3d model itself has nothing to do with the coupling but instead it's a collision box, so why modify the model, not just the invisible collision box!

The inconstancy between each truck in different aspects of the game is really annoying IMO, the gap is different in every truck, another example is the tank selection system that's available only on the new DAF...

the 5th wheel doesnt have any collision, never had but should have one to be realistic, the only think telling the game how high the trailer is are the hook points on truck and trailer

and changes were done because the MAN got a new 5th wheel, funny how the first blog doesnt mention it but the New DAF but the 1.45 update blog mentions the TGX but not the New DAF

[F4R35]

and changes were done because the MAN got a new 5th wheel

I know that's my point when I was driving the Man is because I was testing it with the new 5th wheel.

@Eugene Does this apply to all Man TGX E6 chassis, thanks in advance?

[Eugene]

@tobrago as far as I remember, only 6x2 ones (midlift/taglift). 4x2 was fine

(funny sidenote)
Last night I drove the Autobahn from Hannover to Dortmund, probably for the first time ever in ETS2.
"Someone had crossed out the name 'Bielefeld' with orange tape on all the signs." (Actual quote from the document referenced below, translated to english)
That reminded me of something - the "Bielefeld Conspiracy"!

It's because: "Bielefeld" doesn't exist. It is a huge conspiracy!
Sorry for the links pointing to pages in German, use your favorite translation tool:
- The actual conspiracy document: http://bv.bytos.de/bv.htm
- Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielefeld ... %C3%B6rung

I don't know, if the SCS Map Devs had this in mind, but maybe?

[xXCARL1992Xx]

all cities you cant drive to because they dont exist on the map are crossed out in the north of germany
