Repair costs Fantasy or Reality

[HGV Driver]

I`ve just repaired my truck at 2% damage for $202 yet in ETS2 the same % of damage would have cost me £2000+

coinsurance pays most of it

[Jackrabbit_V6/ RSProduxx]

yea--in ATS (and probably in ETS2 soon too) you buy a truck with insurrance, which pays for most of your repairs... the more you repair (and the more damage you have to repair), the more you have to pay yourself... the %age gets higher the more frequently you repair and so on...

as to realistic? no, neither the repair prices nor what you earn per tour are realistic...
you pay no taxes, no other fees and the like... in short, the economic side of the game(s) is far from realstic, but SCS never layed a focus on that part

In ETS2 it's very annoying to pay for accidents caused by AI.

Coinsurance is unlikely to be in ETS2. It's an American thing, we don't have it here.

It's not an American thing either, it's a game thing. So adding it to ETS2 would make just as much sense.

That's correct. This coinsurance thing is just to mitigate the repair costs for the stupid AI. Doesn't matter which continent the dev chooses to infect with their dumb ai traffic. ;)

Where is this supposed accident at that was caused by the AI? I'm not going to sit and watch a 42minute video to see where he hit the AI.

well if youd watch the video you would see that he didnt hit the AI, the ai hit him on the wrong side of the road, i watched this video when it was first released, i thing it was in the first half of the video. Back then, the AI was so much worse..

Like I asked in the previous post, where does it happen in the video?
