own cars

[ed5902]

you should be able to own your own cars and houses so its more realistic but i know if they did do that then it would take some time

[BaconBair]

THATS A AMAZING IDEA! Cause you could walk into a car dealership and buy like a volvo, or a ford! and for houses, you pay rent. So it would take out like 1,200 a month.

Last time I checked, this game is titled American Truck Simulator... And I don't see any mention of Car in there either...

Unrelated note, sorta.. The physics engine is made for trucks, not cars or pickups. Yes some things can be changed, but it still wouldn't change the way the physics work for trucks. It'd just make it real odd to drive.

I suggest Ed should take a look at The Sims.

I like this idea....

It doesn't really have to be an all out effort just a feature to spend $$$. I remember a game called NFL 2k5 a football game sim .... it had an extra feature called cribs where you spent money to decorate your home.

I mean all that trucking you do in this game and there's no way to spend all your money. Houses/Cars would be a great idea..no need to drive the car just have a garage where you can take a look at your new car or first person view of your home... simple rewards.

The more features means more time to develop product higher cost involved doing that. Keep it simple, leave it out be mods of cars anyways.

I could see a more modular garage system than exists in ETS 2, but adding houses or apartments doesn't really appeal to me. It seems a bit extraneous and out of place.

Yes, a sim.. A sim about driving trucks, not cars.

yeah sim thats descripted to put you into th shoes of a truck driver so wouldnt be like living his life driving to his home living in the home and when you want you drive the truck and do loads to make money and buy a car to drive around in sometimes instead of a truck

[TwinShadow]

If you want a sim to drive cars in, there's others for that purpose. I'm sure mods will come out anyway for cars, there's some for ETS2 even. But it is a TRUCK simulator, not CAR.

exactly, I owned old 18wos series, and people added drivable cars then,

There has been mods for cars in ETS2 which hasnt been altogether smooth, ie. it was very easy to roll a car. But it wouldnt be hard for them to have a basic car model that players can mod. Making a nice break from driving trucks and exploring the roads. This vehcile could be a just sitting in your garage. New types of vehicles (with moddable settings) can be done by the community. There is a City Car simulator which ive seen ccol mods for- but using a keyboard and mouse its very difficult to play/drive. But I could see potential for ATS/EST2 adding cars, since you already have traffic, lots of roads everything is there. Without the need for a separate game. Want a break from the truck- do a car trip, load up a high performance car mod and away you go.

No. Next.

[Gizmosellsbunnys]

with scale of the map and world, cars are great idea. 66 Cadllilac fleetwood needle buried going 95 mph. Build code support physics for automobiles people fly Cessna in fsx people should be able to drive automobiles. DLC cars like 66 Fleewood, 66 GTO, 77 trains-am, 65 Mustang you can buy, drive customize.

You guys might want to try out this game called Grand Theft Auto 5 then ...

Next !
