rocky mountain doubles and triple trailers

[Gunny Mayhem]

Those are allowed in Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon and few other states. I know because I came from truckers family that runs with doubles/triples trailers. Anyways, I would like to see those types of trailers ingame but more likely no i wont see it happens. double set might make it just fine in ATS but highly doubt triples will make it.

Am i only one that want those stuff in game? lol here's 2 links to the pictures what its looks like so you can get the idea. And yes, we can back it up to the dock door without having to drop a set (IRL)

- Does anybody else want them ?
- Yes, every player of ETS2 wanted them for the past 4 years

- So why we still don't have them ?
- Because the game is unable to do it

- Are you sure ? How do you know ?
- It's the only answer to that exact question for the last 4 years.

- But I've seen mods so you're wrong
- All these mods have the same limitation.

That's too bad.

Personally, I want to go gallivanting about in a turnpike double (two 48's or 53's!). Why does no one mention these?!?! Dx

These have been requested for way too long. SCS has to add in the coding necessary to allow for more pivot points. Until they do this, it is impossible without literally hacking the EXE and DLL injecting code into the game which is beyond the scope of any normal gamer to do.

The engine has been proven to be fine with them. (couple years ago, a post on the old MP forums showed a proof of concept) The physics engine though, would require a bit of re-work among other things.

Basically, you and 109324712300987 other people want more pivot points in the game.

Ahem ... This is litterally how the guy did it ... The code needed for the double pivot point is already in the exe ... He then manipulated that code to create that MP video ... Besides, SCS already knew how to do it in 2011.

But beyond the code, the map of ETS2 is not build to accomodate double-trailer, the roads are too narrow and the roundabouts are too small. In Sweden, they're only allowed on some specific highways, nowhere else in Europe. Maybe it's another story about ATS since these roads are way bigger. I wonder if SCS didn't already said something about resurrecting double-trailers.

They are also allowed in Colorado but when traveling through the bigger cities, Denver...Pueblo...Co Spring...

In ATS triple trailers combo wont be pratical to build as roadways and prefabs cannot accomidate them now anyways.

The game is able to do it, it's just not terribly good at it. The best I've seen the engine do is B-Train trailers, and even then, they were using B-Trains to emulate a 48 footer and a pup trailer. The result was the pup trailer's dolly was being pulled all sorts of ways willy-nilly, and you could see it moving sideways, rigidly fixed to the front of it's trailer, when it should have been turning independently.

This was in ALH (18 WoS: ALH, or 18 Wheels of Steel, American Long Haul).

They could probably improve on that and re-implement it, like they could restore trailer ownership. But I guess they have other priorities.

Edit: I, for one, am grateful they haven't given us that. Backing up the faux 48-footer and pup trailer, which was really a B-Train, was pretty damned hard. In ALH, there were no schedules to keep, and it could take me a week or more to get an articulated trailer parked!

You're talking about one of the 18WoS game, which could do it. We're talking about ATS, which can't ... Also, there is Extreme Trucker in Australia, which had road-train and could do it perfectly, not willy-nilly.

Ok so...do we have an official statement from SCS or some blog of theirs about doubles ?

But then...it will take 3 hours to park them... ;-) oh I want to try it ! Let's get them !

I *seem* to remember Pavel in an interview (last year I think) briefly mentioning that they could do multiple trailers, but their focus was on other projects.

I would be easily able to drive with double pups in ats. Its not that hard.

I'm just assuming, but I believe no driver typically in the US has to back up double trailers, but rather park in a specific area of the warehouse to detach one of the trailers, and moves on or something. So, I would think that another parking area dedicated for them would need to be added into the game anyway.
