Fuel idea.

[Dobby]

So i've thought about it today, and how many people usually run outta fuel, or forget to fuel up (i do it lately). I've thought about adding a sound, and a text on screen for 3 seconds when you're low on fuel. I've added 4 answers to the poll. So feel free to answer one only.

With micks permission i'm gonna add a GameTextForPlayer() and PlayerPlaySound();  when you're low on fuel, and maybe expand it to GPS you to the nearest shop/fuel station.

Explain your poll answer as well it'll help me somewhat

[Konali]

I'm neutral


I think adding a sound is something extra that might help those that are to distracted with other things, or failed to use common logic:)
Im not against it:) i just feel, it is something extra, for those few people, that are in the minority:)

[Dobby]

I should add an option for "i dont use sound" so it benefits them with the text on screen. So they'll get the alert regardless.


Extra poll idea added

how about just a text message in the bottom of the screen with a reminder your running low on fuel if you have like 2-3 bars left??

Above the speedometer?

something like this:

YOU'RE ***  Trololol.

Anyway, I'm kinda neutral on this too. If we never ran out of fuel, it would be quite boring.

[Dobby]

Not a bad idea Ethan

YOU'RE ***  Trololol.

He did put that? D:

Just add bigger fuel tanks = SOLVED = MORE REALISTIC.
Sorry but that has to be said, the fuel tanks last 30km (on server) which is pathetically unrealistic.
Maybe 200km on the same tank, but more expensive, maybe 500 to fill (with achievement)? Its closer to what a realistic truck has, otherwise at 125km in a RT it only takes very little time to run out.

Also, yes i like this idea, but only if you can toggle it, since i dont have this issue.

The same thing as when you're speeding, your speedo will flash and then you will get a message, or flash your status bar with "You need fuel" on.

I agree, although sand most trucks in australia have duel fuel tanks and last I think up to about 1000kms or more

Well duh. Alot more than 2, sometimes they have 2-3 down each side of the cab and sleeper.
But still, most trucks have big fuel tanks, i wouldnt know what EU/US does to theirs.

Keep the server updated and players will come back
