Proposal of typical vehicles for AI traffic that are still missing (tbc)

[Optional Features]

They also really need to set an algorithm for trailer size vs tractor size so it makes sense.

100% agree. @seriousmods nailed it here once again.

Thanks! It's little things like that in the AI that ruin the immersion even more.

That and all the 45 (maybe 48) foot trailers and tri axle vans.

Indeed. Traffic that includes realistic fleet trucks and trailers would be great. Just like the Jazzycat mod does.

Yeah, but even his mod and the improved AI trucks mod (AI truck expansion) don't seem to be able to make the majority of semis have sleepers and pull 53 foot, tandem axle vans.

I asked the creator of that mod about the code, and apparently, he's done about all that can be done.

But yes, Jazzy's mods are definitely nice, minus the framerate issues.

Since there is a small discussion following this post. It would make sense to also revise the car wrecks beside accidents in the game a bit. In addition to the burned out new truck and new Audi, a few wrecks on the 50s to 90s would be nice. The wreck of the 1947 Chevrolet Advance-Design Loadmaster is a good start. Here are some more examples:

Some old cars could also be used as decoration:

Oh yeah! Totally agree. Where are the groups of retired construction machines or old farm tractors resting in some field or forest.

They need to expand their library of resources.

I think most people agree that this bus has to be removed from the game. It's too European.

Here are some suggestions to replace it:
Just use the Ford truck again and make it a small bus

Or thze Dodge Ram

Or a Sprinter
[ external image ]

Or use something like this

Or this bigger Temsa

Or at least this kind of city bus

We don't have city buses yet, right?

be nice to feature some more European cars from ETS2 into ATS.


BMW 5 series

Have to correct myself. The Temsa T30 is on sale in the US: https://www.temsa.com/us/en/city/ts-30 But it's hard to find more than a few pics.

Only with mods @seriousmods. Or this one

This are the three buses in AI:
2008 Blue Bird Vision school bus (My POV: It fits well into the game. Not too old and typical for the US).
[ external image ]

Temsa TS 30 (My POV: It doesn't fit into the game because it's not common in the US).
[ external image ]
[ external image ]

MCI MC-12 (My POV: It only half fits into the game. It has been out of production since the mid-90s and you only see it as a camper or event bus. )

There is also a need for a modern coach. Even the coach from Driver from JazzyCat has no real counterpart.
