Wrong route [NOT A BUG]

[Kaog]

That route with a double trailer seemed strange to me, it had never happened to me before.

What exactly do you think is wrong with it?

What exactly do you think is wrong with it?

Double trailers are not supposed to be allowed on that route and yet it came out by default

[alluke]

Legal one would be the ferry to Travemunde

[Madkine]

Actually I don't think this is a bug. As far as I'm aware the games only check the starting country/state and the end country/state.
This is why ATS will route 53' trailers through California sometimes.

@Mohegan13 Can you confirm?

[Mohegan13]

I'll poke someone in dev chat and see what they say, but I don't think this is considered a bug.

As far as I know the Route Advisor doesn't take into account the trailer type you have, just like a real life GPS wouldn't know. It's down to you to set a legal route.

Could be moved to the whishlist if not considered a bug

The game knows which garages can store DUO and DUO2 roadtrans, would be nice to have proper routes
You can alway make the route manually though Seden and Denmark with the risk of running late

DUO and DUO2 are EU projects, maybe one day is it a thing?

Aarhus to Høje Taastrup: Continue on the designated EMS2 route.

Høje Taastrup to Berlin: Given Germany's restrictions, consider transferring the load to a compliant vehicle combination or explore rail transport options for this segment.

Additional Considerations
Permits: Ensure all necessary permits are obtained for each country, especially for oversized vehicles.

Route Verification: Confirm that each segment of your journey aligns with the designated routes for DUO trailers.

Ferry Bookings: Reserve ferry crossings in advance, ensuring they can accommodate your vehicle's dimensions.

Regulatory Updates: Stay informed about any changes in regulations that may affect your route.

Note: Given the complexities and varying regulations across countries, it's advisable to consult with local transport authorities or logistics experts to ensure compliance and safety throughout your journey.

afaik it's intended behavior. It's up to the driver to select the appropriate route - the advisor only selects quickest or shortest route and doesn't consider the trailer type.
