Switzerland Rework Discussion

[Some newbie driver]

What I seen, heavy rain does affect how the truck handles on the road.

I still remember all the moans in the forums and other SCS media sites when they changed the physics to made this more noticeable. People were used to drive very recklessly and all of a sudden they were all crashing at every turn.

Also an high wear on tires does affect handling and the effect on wet is exponentially worse. Over 75% wear better take care and over 85% + keyboard it's a nightmare to drive.

Ok I looked closer at the screenshots and there's one thing that bothers me.
We have #1 and #5, it's the same road, not very far from each other, but... If you look down the valley in #1 there's no road there, and it's just behind the mountain on the left where #5 should be. There's no tunnels or anything, so.. where did it go? How are they planning to connect both? I see the same summit in the middle of #5 as in the top right in #1 but I have no idea where to put those two in relation to each other.

@Aziz Both screenshots are looking towards the northwest so I see no issue. The hotel in #1 is visible in #5.

[Aziz]

Yeah well it shouldn't be. I know there's scale involved but when you're near the hotel you should see the road going down there on the slope. And there isn't any.

[oldmanclippy]

Oh I see now, yeah they probably just have that road wrap around the hills to the left so they can hide the scenery of #5 behind them. My guess is that if they put the road within view of #1 then they wouldn't have room for the scene of #5.

[Aziz]

Probably. It sort of implies it will look like

Which is a bit sad because I'd really enjoy that cut stretch of road.

Route between 1 and 5. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/46.5554 ... ?entry=ttu
From the view of 1, the road to 5, should not be seen. Nor should so much of the valley either, in real life.
But IRL, the valley should have a road, that is seen from 1.
And I am not sure it is the same summit on 1 and 5. There be differences.
How things are, might be due to how scaled mapping, tries to give longer distances, than there is.

Any space?

[Aziz]

Space for what? Another loading screen? This brings nothing to the experience when there's abundance of roads.

Actually. This is a part of truck driving. Depending on how realistic one wants to be.
