Low truck power

[Radim Venglar]

In some truck (Praga) I don´t climb to little hill and I stop in halfway. Is this normal? In Kamaz, or Iveco (DeRooy, BigShock Racing) its no problem.

I also have Praga and it can't go uphill for some reason. It stalls in 1st gear while AI races by. I crashed an AI racer that was passing me and it was able to accelerate uphill where Praga just could not. Also the physics is off because the car falls down the hill as if it had no brakes.

I noticed this as well, even if you're in a car or truck that doesn't stall out, the other ai in the same truck will fly past you even if you make them come to a complete stop. Only truck I've not had stall out on these races so far is the DAF 95 X1 TurboTwin.

I was able to go up this one hill that nearly killed a Kamaz (2022 #500) I was driving once in an older update while in 2nd gear on the DAF. That could be because they properly represented how a twin engine vehicle would perform compared to a single engine vehicle, but I don't know much about how much better two engines would be over one.

It seems like a trend that the classics category (excluding the bikes) have options that are faster than the modern equivalents, but sadly if you run something like the Peugeots in the cars class, the ai won't drive classics of the same class, but the various ai of other classes will be in classics instead (where classics are available).

also if you run a classic bike or the DAF truck, the ai in the car class will drive unreleased classics as well as currently available ones. I've seen them driving the Paris Dakar Porsche 953 (#715, also seen on the classic pack 1 picture in roadmap, but ai have been driving it since day one) and the Lada Niva (looks like #191, also driven by ai since day one)

Empty quarter raid with Praga is unplaylable (sponsor race, i must complete this raid with this truck). It is stupid. One of the fastet truck in Dakar 2023, and in this game is slowest and non-competition truck.

That's an entirely separate issue to the one being described here wherein trucks can't climb hills because their gearing is bugged.
