Realistic Roads

[Kev_One]

Almost everything in this game feels realistic except the roads. They’re all buttery smooth. I’d like to feel my truck bounce around as I’m hitting a pothole. The cabin doesn’t move at all unless u move the Steering wheel. Come on devs, Tear up the Roads

For what? You only see the screen shake a bit. Nothing to feel here.

Unless of course if your chair has force feedback. Then you would actually feel it.

Have u ever drive around in a truck before? It’s a pretty loud and bumpy experience due to the messed up roads.

Maybe in an old truck with broken suspension on a cut up road. Any modern truck on a highway is super smooth.

Doesn't your vehicle have any supsension? Because if it doesn't then yes.

Brand new suspension or not, if u hit a pothole, you’re truck is gonna bounce around. Potholes on the highway is a rare occurrence. But potholes in city and towns should be everywhere. I drive for a living so I know what I’m talking about

This game is not about realism. 🤷‍♂️

It's about relaxing and having fun.

Maybe to u. It has the word simulator in the title which means realism

[AoD_lexandro]

Truck simulator. Not road condition simulator.

As a person who lives in New York City I can tell you that theres tons of messed up roads with potholes here. I hope when they do the New York expansion they include potholes on the roads. I wish they made a big city also. So we can explore.

Thers mods for that go look for a mod for that. There are lots of realistic road mods in fact im using one right now in the game. Also if you want the effect of bumps on road there's a mod called air ride premium i use that mod try it you will get the effects you want in the game.

Many games have words in theit titles that aren't strictly accurate. That's pretty ordinary.
I have to keep my FFB setting for Dampers turned almost all the way down, and as I remember perhaps for Terrain also, as I get so many bangs and vibrations.

+1. I noticed the ultra smooth roads on day 1. It's not a deal breaker, but it would be nicer to have a subtle camera & truck shake and sounds to go with that. In real life, roads aren't perfect like they are in ATS. I'm not talking about potholes but just minor imperfections.

ETS2 has that in some places, especially around on-ramps and off-ramps to highways. That kind of mild roughness should be in more places in both games.

You need a force feedback chair and then you'll be bouncin' all over the place. I watched a couple of people play with one. You can adjust it to practically throw out out of the chair if you like.

No I don't. This is totally accomplish-able without any additional equipment. The truck and camera just need move the right way. Look at for example how The Bus or BeamNG do it. You can "feel" the road. In ATS most of the time we're driving on glass.

Offroad is better, but even there it's not fully convincing. Those bumps in a dirt road feel more like waves.
