The Time Limits!

This gives you good time to complete your loads with less traffic, and enjoy the scenery.

Sorry, but you're wrong. This is directly from the 1C game page (category MANAGEMENT!!):

Apart from being the most accurate and innovative truck driving simulation game ever produced [...]

IMO it had the potential to be a really good simulation! But with all these extremely low time limits and no need to maneuver in any place, it's just a silly arcade racing game. It's a real shame after 7+ years of development...

Too bad that there isn't a playable demo version so I had to throw money away just to find out. So it'll be the last game from 1C for me.

I'm not wrong. If you read my post correctly I stated "In-Spite of how it was advertised". I read the same ad as you did. Many would beg to differ about it being a simulation.

Let me explain

the time limits are indeed too short, you cant drive 45mp/h, you truelly have to race to get it on time

the other trucks are set on your position in the race

if you go fast they ll go fast too and if you slow down they all slow down so even if you have an accident they kinda wait for you; but when you take a load the last truck always gets extra speed to catch up sou gou guys all stick together

if you have ever played mario kart on the old SNES, it is like that, a character is preset to get a position so when it is behind it gets faster speed and regains the position...

anyway the time should be turned off or they should be an option to do it at least , for people who like enjoying driving on their ease

Yeah, i'm thinkin thats an good idea ! But who can do it ?

Sounds good ! Good luck !

I just hope they do something about those annoying time limits.

Sometimes with deliveries over long distances. I Cant go to a truckstop and then drive/cruise to the destination. BEcause I cant make it in time.

i never had any problems with the time. i play on novice, and i can drive 50 + mph, and i make it on time with 50 mins left over.


also, in real lifetruckers to have limeits to how ong the carry the load, say 2 days 3 days, a few hours depends on the distance.

also remeber i minute in real life if 24 minutes in rign roll, so i always have plenty of time.

( i get leik 80 + mins to get from oxnard to redding)

hey uh, aslo this is off topic but, can you change the MPH system to KM/H? i m european.

also, when doing the racing stick to gether. the other dudes drive like 60 mph on cruise control you go 65, so youl end up in a convoy

You purchased the English version, and remember that you are on US Highways. Still, there should be a selection in the main menu for this, like 18 WoS.

hey malkor

what hex editor are you using to fine the time limits for jobs on?
