Own More Than One Drivable Truck

[bnsf_50]

It'd be nice to own more than one drive-able truck. Be able to park one in one of your garages and walk from one to the other and take off. IE not have to trade your current truck in when you want to drive another one.

Uh, you can do that in ETS2, just park them in the garage and don't put a hired drive into it. I have several trucks across different garages with no drivers in them.

I would like smoke coming out of the stacks just like IRL... It's not really a trucking game with out the smoke coming out..

Duh thanks I didn't know i could put myself in a truck in the garage.
And yes a little exhaust smoke would be nice although trucks do run pretty clean nowadays on account of the smog reg.s. I had a friend that recently had to sell his truck because of the expense to get all of the latest required smog equipment on it. It was just to expensive.

Dude i think you misunderstaded him, because he meant that he wanted too se his other trucks parked in the garage. At same time while he had his own truck standing in the garage at same time, and that is not possibe at lest not fysical. Right now it is just simulated just like the ferry and the employes.

Sheesh, no need to get all up in arms about me.

Anyway, with the way the game engine is right now, it wouldn't really be possible anyway. Mostly because it'd have to render multiple high-poly trucks and that can cause some massive slow-downs in performance, since people still do complain about it to this day.

Yes that's exactly what I meant. You can do that in farming simulator, have a whole yard full of trucks and tractors along with the equipment and walk around to any of them and get in them and driver off. And believe me the tractors and trucks in that game are High Poly.

Completely different engine and rendering processes.

I keep reading time and time again that people still complain about the performance dips even on top-line i7 systems with R9 GPU's or GTX 9xx GPU's. And this is for ETS2.

I can't drive 55fps hahahha or 55 mph

I'd like this idea as well. I was just thinking about the fact that it would be cool to have all my company owned trucks with the trailers parked in a parking lot with a garage or something. Maybe there is a way to have a model/object that you can personally load onto your single player map. Sure it wouldn't be for getting in each individual truck, but it could be cool.

You won't see smoke in the vanilla game.
One, new trucks don't have any smoke.
Two, the truck companies won't allow it as they don't want their trucks to look "unclean".
