Helicopter propeller blocking route

[Fluidz]

I haven't played in a while, today I fired up ets2 and found theres now alot more road activity. I saw an helicopter on the motorway, when I pass it its propeller hits the truck and the truck takes minor damage. I cant seem to pass it without taking damage.

Edit - I changed the cam to exterior view, and almost scraping the barrier I passed the helicopter without damage.

Well Tbh.
You are not suppose to pass that incident.( gamewise).

Then that there is alot of people that cant be bothered to wait or go around is another thing.

I didn't know I could wait and they moved on. :/ .. If they had placed some cones down then I would of not tried. Yes i'm totally overlooking the simulator aspect, I've been playing too many arcade racers lol.

Still, I love the new update.

You can't wait the detours out. They don't go away until you complete the haul.

Its blocked by cones and a police vehicle and its been like that since a few versions already...

That would be all very well in real life - there would be plenty of alternate roads to avoid the incident. However in ETS2 there is a much abbreviated road network meaning it is often impossible to fulfil your contract if you try to go around it.

I normaly replot the navi route and take a longer run. Too my knowledge the best and suposed way to go about those roadblocks. Sure it may cause for a load to be late but there are no real serious problems comming from it anyways. You can also adjust the slider bar in gameplay options to max left and that should result in getting never those roadblocks.

Don't get me wrong, I like those traffic incidents and wouldn't want to turn them off. They add a bit of spice to the game. However I also like to deliver my loads on time and sometimes that means a bit of creative driving to get past.

Actually it isn't always. I've come across the chopper blocking the road having not passed any police roadblock at all - I even saved and reversed back up the road to check - and I play on a completely vanilla set up, no mods ever.

I have over 13.000hours. Never encountered a blocked route not being blocked by cones and/or police .

Save the game and reload.

The roadblock will regenerate and is random so, sooner or later, you'll get one that it's possible to drive around without damage.

Apart from you, not many, no. China is not in Europe, you see.

As I said above: The detours are not part of the traffic pattern and do NOT disappear when you re-load a save. They are generated when you take the job and do not disappear until after you make the delivery.

I can confirm that this statement is not entirely correct and save-load does help in these situations. If you make a quicksave a bit ahead of the accident and then load, accident will be randomly changed. But sometimes you will have to load quite a lot of times, once it took me 3 loads, another time - 12, but chopper did disappear, so that I can pass by.

What is correct though, is that accident itself will not go away, only its "participants" will change, so you'll have to wait till a helicopter will change into a fire truck that can be safely passed by.

Also on the bigger roads helicopters sometimes can be safely passed by as well, although the distance between truck and helicopter rotors seems to be the same.

I know that. I said it would regenerate, not disappear.

My point is that if you don't want to detour and cannot get past a roadblock, then save and reload. Keep reloading the game until you get a roadblock you can get past.

edit: Yes, what Yopt said above.
