Anyone Use Speed Limiter??

[russy23]

just thought id ask on this pleasent sunday afternoon..

i started my save with speed limiter disabled but my cousin says its like cheating..lol

i enabled it and god, stuck at 55 on flats is painful, and thats after 2 minutes of it being on..

so who enables the speed limiter??

[michaelfase]

I do, since it's realistic. trucks in the EU are required to have a limiter on 90 km/h or 55 mph.

i do.as above

I have it turned off...but i do drive at the given speed limit.
It is more or less only turned off for the occasions when i drive without load from one City to the next, to arrive faster, or when i have to overtake one ( or two ) truck on longer straight roads so that nothing bad happens ( like being to slow on it and crashing in a incoming truck etc. )

the speed limits on the signs are for cars. the speed limit for trucks is 80 km/h

I know and never stated that i did not meant it.
But to clarify it, i drive the most time not faster then the build in speedlimiter in the game, which is around 90km/h ( and i doubt that people with it on are driving not until it gets on, seeing that you wont get fined for driving faster than 80 on speedlanes etc. )

Always - it is a truck sim and European trucks are limited so I play it accordingly.

I have never felt the need to deactivate it over 180 hrs of gameplay.

[russy23]

thanks for the input, this ill stick to having it on, should save abit on the fines anyway.. :)

Nah. too much fun hauling explosives at 160 km/h.

I use the speed limiter but i also have sleep on. It takes away the fun for me to get there fast and with sleep on it makes you think more about the time.

I turned the limiter off at some point, but found that I got reckless. So I put it back on.

[teebodk]

I always use the limiter - for realism, to avoid reckless driving as stated above and because, well it's really about realism as well: a big, heavy truck and narrow, winding roads are not a good combination and in real life the speed limits are there for a reason: safety. It may seem safe to go faster, but it'll cost you precious time to react to curves, oncoming traffic and so on.

I leave it on as I personally find it more immersive due to the "realism" and the sedentary speed. I once set up a junk profile to abuse some Volvos with, got tired pretty quickly.

Not when I get to 90 80 km I use cruise control
