Would ATS support RHD?

#1 Post by SabR » 04 Jun 2015 12:07

This thought hit me earlier today when I test drove the Kenworth T800 available here on the forum. Would ATS support RHD? Of the few gameplay videos of ATS that I've come across, all involved trucks had LHD. Would any ATS tester confirm if RHD is available? I'm unsure if US manufactures RHD semi trucks which could be why SCS might not go for RHD. If thats the case, then Reef & Co. will have to adapt to LHD for ATS? :(

Mods, please move my thread to the appropriate location if it isn't. :)

We are not allowed to reveal this, but AFAIK there is no RHD in US.. That should give you the answer. ;)

If I'm driving a U.S. truck in the U.S then yeah, obviously I'm going to drive a LHD truck, and I wouldn't want it any other way :)

Its not a case of adapting, or practicing, personally I can drive LHD just fine. But I tend to use the UK interiors because I'm from UK, and tend to be driving out of the UK, it just feels more immersive to me to be doing that. But when it comes to the US it would be very odd to be in a RHD truck

I find driving RHD trucks as easy and natural as LHD. I always equip my GB garages with RHD trucks, and often take them while doing deliveries from GB.

For ATS, it would be weird if SCS included RHD trucks if they aren't available IRL. Although, some US manufacturers make trucks for the Australian market... those would than be RHD.

A lot the Australian trucks are usually manufactured in Australia, and for that market though, and those models aren't sold in the US, They're quite different to what they get in the US a lot of the time. I guess due to various differences in laws, and local tastes. I dunno, I think it would just be all round weird in the US.

It makes sense in ETS 2 because of the UK. But since you won't be driving on the CORRECT :lol: side of the road anywhere over there, I really see no purpose, and it would be a little out of place
