Cruise Control

[Jokeypoo]

Hi hello!
This is just random post about the cruise control!

WHY IN GOD'S NAME DOES IT DISENGAGE WHEN YOU USE THE ACCELERATOR?
Hell, you can't even turn it on if you're holding the accelerator, am I the only one bothered by this? Can't be. Right? Hell in FS22, no problem! FS25? Problem.

Why?

Yeah, my real car does the same darn thing!

It really didn't turn off in fs22? That had to be a bug Or a mod.
This is normal behaviour IRL too.

Eh? Every car i have ever driven that has cruise control, only disengages if you press the clutch or the brake pedal? Pressing the accelerator allows you to override to go faster, and then once you let go, it's gonna slow back down to the set speed. You will not gaslight me into thinking the accelerator is supposed to disengage the cruise control.

I have to provide corroborating anecdotal evidence that pressing the accelerator in a car irl will not always disengage the cruise control. My personal car (don't remember trying with my work van) will not disengage the cruise when I press the accelerator. It will only do that if I turn the cruise control system off, ores the brake, or press the cruise cancel button.

As far as the game goes, I know in FS19, it worked like now where you press the accelerator and the cruise turns off. In FS22, it would only turn off by turning it off or by pressing the brake, but I cannot remember if this happened in vanilla or was one of the mods I used. If it was vanilla, it seems like Giants has gone back to FS19 cruise control.

11k hours in 22, it definitely worked the same in 22 as it does now, I use a wheel and pedals though so maybe that makes a difference

Huh, I would like to apologize, the cruise control in FS22 vanilla does in fact also disengage when you press the accelerator. Had to check again without mods because i assumed it was a vanilla feature where it did in fact not disengage, so that one's on me. Again I apologize for this lol.

However the question still remains, why?
I've never heard of cruise control that disengages when you press the accelerator, IRL or in games. Cause to me that defeats the whole purpose of it, and if it was my car, I would assume something is broken and needs to be swapped. I am not a mechanic nor am I an engineer. I am just going off of experience with my own cars and company cars/vans. And "general knowledge" if you will.

and it is still normal for cars to disengage Cruise Control when hitting the accelerator, some right away, some have more leeway, some don't care and even some you can brake without CC gets disengaged. If your car have Adaptive CC it allows more "manual work".

Now tractors don't have cruise Control at all IRL. But all got two throttles, one foot and one lever you can set to what ever amount you want.

Okay so because you made me question everything i know about cruise control, I actually went to read about it. I checked multiple articles, issue threads, videos, and it is NOT normal for CC to disengage under manual acceleration? Atleast from what I can find. They're all essentially saying "To cancel the cruise control, you can press the cancel button, press the brake pedal, or in most manual cars, press the clutch pedal.". What car brands have the CC that disengages when you manually accelerate and which type of CC is it? I read about normal CC and Adaptive CC, all said the same, you can manually accelerate, and then it will slow down to the set speed. And since you guys are saying it's normal, I would love to know which cars have the specific CC that disengages. Because what I read, if it disengages during manual acceleration, it's a bad sensor, bad actuator, bad *insert thing here* so on and so forth.

Tractors I didn't know about, everything I know about tractors essentially just comes from FS and Clarksons Farm lol, but I do appreciate learning.

Should change your name to gaslight, cause your full of it lol. Its not normal, unless its only 'normal' in norway. But if accelerating shuts your cruise off, you drive junk.
