Random road events: What am I supposed to do?

[joaquin087]

Hey, I'm new here

What am I supposed to do during events like traffic crash, fireman, plane crash, helicopters, etc.?

wait a long time? i'm waiting for but never happen

I know that if load my game the event disappear, but i love the realism of the game amd i would be play without shortcuts. That is the unique way?

I have the same doubt. First I passed through, very close to the firetruck and the helicopter, but in another situation I've made a new route.

If the road is completely blocked it is a detours and you have to find another route.

You can disabble detours by going in game settings and move the slider to the extreme left.

[DANEDANGER]

What is expected there is to open up the map en replot your route. Then follow the new route, this often can cause for a load to be late and you will loose some xp and money. Plan wrongly and you loose all but there are no more problems comming from it.

1, take the detour
2, try to get through
3, teleport over it

I've always managed to squeeze past any detour.

Hello. I normally take the closed road option, but I do think you should get a fine for doing so. The road is closed due to an incident after all.

[Playing4ever]

It is a bit annoying though if there is no possible way the make the delivery on time due to road closures but that must also happen in real life.

betautiful game

Sometimes theres no option other than try to pass - got that last week.

simple answer TURN OFF Random Events and Detours, two of the most annoying additions to the game.

Nah, I like the random events. I just turn off the detours so that I'm not forced to be late because the road gets closed at the last interchange before my delivery point.

Same here.

I like the idea of detours as a realistic part of the game, but unfortunately it just doesn't work very well in the game, which is why I disable detours.
  - If you miss a motorway exit in the game, you can also easily risk a detour of several hundred km, which would not happen in reality.

As I see it, scaling is the reason that detours (and misdirections) sometimes cause unreasonably detours, because in the real world, there will be many more alternative ways to use to get back on track.

World of Trucks do not allow F9 to be used after teleporting! Also, some of the detours will allow you to partially pass the detour only to reappear later in the route where you cannot continue!

I use the 'Add New Avoid Location' at the spot of the blockage and the Route Advisor will calculate a new route after taking into consideration the detour. So far the new route adds minimal delay.
