1. Delete/remove- or disable/change to manual enabling/disabling in /settings -> overloading
cops will weight us no more! it pisses all of when ____ cops are weighting us even when we are not overloaded,
dont defend urself mick that we can drive in convoys, its just pathetic, IF we will want overload (what is stupid idea, better will be when prizes will grow up), we would enable it in /settings, so it should be deleted for good or switchable..
we wont be weighted at all coz its pathetic and typing /startconvoy every mission is like wtf..
2. camping cops, when we can see a cop who blocks me, or stays near road, we r enabling CC and rams them to disallow them or sth for doing it.. like lindz said, its not RL so cops should be punished for camping (stopping longer than 3 mins), irl cops have moving speedtraps, here are no these thingys.. so cops who camping should be punished coz its nooby, same like camping near house..
About overload: im alot times cop and when i weight trucks 95% of them are not overloaded so less people use it and when you weight them they start insulting etc. you can remove overload.
About speedtraps: $nake we have in The Netherlands moving speedtraps used by highway police and we have nonmoving speedtraps in city's.
speedtrap at highway (the highway police move them sometimes each day and we can call the positions of them to radio stations who tells on the radio to other drivers where the speedtraps are)

speedtrap in city, these speedtraps controls the speeds on roads but they stay also near trafficlights to fine drivers who drive into red light.

1. so weighting/overloading should be deleted/removed at all for good
2. irl cops has moving speedcameras, in ct we dont.. so camping should be disallowed.. its nooby..
I dont mind if cops weight me all the time
You just need to be patient

if cop fines me, its ok, coz its my fault that i speeded, but i WONT be checked for overload, coz im not OL'ing..
overloading is one of the special parts of CT, the amount of whining about is very little and i think if u remove overloading, the server will be more a standard sterver. Its something unique and i think its great to have it:)
God your annoying, just because you dont like it doesn't mean it has to be removed for the REST OF CVT, if you dont like it too bad.

every1 hates it, so it should be removed, cops likes to weight but 1/10000 is overloaded and what is 1.5k for cop ? he can buy a cookie lol!
options to check:
we wont quit ct + we wont be weighted + we wont ask for convoy every mission + we want disable OL'ing.. => how can we do it ?
cheating is bad + anti-arrest cheats are bad + kinda mods are bad..
now me: if i wont cheat and i wont be weighted and wont quit ct, what can i do to work without it ?
reason: weighting its wasting time coz trucker must stop, if cops could weight while driving, OK! they can..
and i didnt weight players as cop so i wont be weighed by them! if i will want, i will ask for it..
players arrested are raging but its cops job, they have points for it, fining same..
but who the hell said that weighting is cops duty/job ?
irl cops wont stop trucker in the middle of road coz they will GUESS that he MAYBE have too much in trailer..
mick said: cops duty its arresting (if not - can be punished), fining (if cop wanna earn shitty money),
but weighting isnt cops job coz they earn 1.5k and its nothing.. so idk why mick added this shitty thingy..
soo.. its not: YOU MUST LIVE WITH IT.. if u r disallowing for cheats mick,
and player disallows for being weighted, deal with it and make sth SMART! (like switcher)
/me : sry if i disrespected sb..
1) title MUST be more descriptive than 'unpissing!'. Wtf does that mean?
2) every single friggin' time you get weighed, you moan. It takes 5-10 seconds if you stop. What's wrong with that?
3) if weighing gets removed, then what else are cops supposed to do other than arrest and fine?
4) cops do camp in real-life.
Make a option that acts the same as when your in a convoy (convoy = no weight) and you can enable it so your yellow or something.

it could be switched only if trucker drives alone like: /overload -> ON/OFF/DISABLED
(or ENABLED [when cops can see +green] / DISABLED [when they can see only yellow/orange])

1. fixed, sry :) ive wrote it on xfire browser after being pissed, had no idea for topic :)
2. its wasting my time.. i dont have whole day to sit and make one mission, but the worst is
that i must STOP, it annoys the most, they can weight while driving, i have nothing against..
3. yep, like before when weighting didnt come at server, was it worser ? i guess 99.9*% will say: better!
4. its not real life, irl ppl can trade if uve forgot, so dont give this example :)
__________________________________________
* - 0.01% = guys who thinks that $1,500 makes them rich
1) in my opinion the weight checks are fine as they are and they defenitely MUST be made by cops because who else will do it?
2) thinking about doing the weightchecks through other ways the only thing that comes to my mind is using the weight plataforms on side of roads for trucks like IRL but everyone will make a shorcut through grass or dirt to evade them.
3) 1.5 k is nothing when u have millions in wealth but is something to cover the fuel expenses of "no-camp-cops".
4) i think sometimes that there are somethings in real life that we allways want to be in a game but in some cases its better to let things "unrealistic" than try hard to script something that will make the game complicated and loose its fun.

You don't have to pay to get into SF if you take the Easter Tunnel. Those coming from LV or Bayside / El Quadabros could just drive to the two free bridges that enter Red County and then head to the tunnel that way.
$nake you are complaining just because in this server you pass the whole time doing only trucking so you are annoyed by cops who stop you "wasting your precious time". Indeed, i really would if overload is renabled also during convoy.
All what i can to do is suggesting you stop doing trucking mission just for be the "first" and having more fun in server doing other kinds of missions.

1. overloading wastes time, if 60 members convoy will be weighted every mission,
they will do 1 mission in 50 mins or more, so think before u say sth -_-
i wont be weighted so i want to turn off overloading, and i wont overload..
kapishi ? its not hard to understand.. overloading then can be enabed/disabled
once per 10 missions or whe cop will catch trucker while weighting..
1.2. if i will put a rank: 'NOT OVERLOADED', 'IM NOT OVERLOADING', 'DONT WEIGHT ME' - cops will still weight
if i will put a rank: 'IF ULL WEIGHT ME U R GAY', 'WEIGHTING IS FOR GAYS', 'COPS WHO WEIGHTS ARE FAGGOTS' - i will be warned for disrecpecting
so what to do (except convoy) to wont being weighed if i wont overload ?2. other missions wont give Truck Points.. and i do care about this only..
coz like mick said: 'its trucking server and the most important are truck missions'
btw other missions pays poorly (and Fueling is too long), plus I'VE DONE THE REST..
fun = doing missions, fun2 = this fun ended for me on the end of march, and im bored of rest..

ive finished adventure game called Outcry aka Sublustrum in 2.5h :o
tried ETS - it lags too much, too much boring.. same with 18 wos ET,
i have too poor pc for the newest games, so what can i play on it ? :(
im doing 50 missions/day @ ct :) to be active still but not get bored :P
So snake.. u are bored.. poor little snake.....and why do we have to deal with that as in removing featuser that take away ur precious time.. That feature has been here for months now and now ur done with achievements and so on there is no fun anymore?
if u dont have fun in a game or u are to bored to make fun in another way maybe take a break? play minecraft:) Or trying to play as cop idk? removing overloading will not result in more fun for u snake. only ur 5 seconds of timewasting will be reduced.

im making 50 truck missions, then break :P next day same :D mc is nice but.. eee.. i cant addict in it :P
playing as cop.. and earn shitty money.. getting fails while catching suspect coz my pc then lags.. pointless..
removing overloading will fix problems too.. coz its pointless thingy which was added idk why..
if weighting/overloading wont be removed, i wanna see it switchable and wont be weighted by cops.. its much ?

snake u can try to buy a steering wheel control to make those trucking games more fun (especially ETS or ET --wich are the most realistic-- with grafic settings low due your pc) ive done it and it makes the game really cool , and i think the old 18 WOS series (long haul, haulin, convoy, etc) are compatible with old pc changing the grafic settings to minimun. UK and German truck simulator doesnt have the option to use minimun settings :(I have the same problem than u>> i have a pc that runs gta SA and the MP servers but not run the new games :( except gta4 in wich ive made a miracle to run it properly :D((((((sorry for going out of topic))))))i dont know what happened to the letters color :0
snake when i said do something else i didn't mean play another game, why don't u go outside and do something
Maybe just screw whole suggestion? heres nothing good. And i want overload to stay. More jobs to cops, more fun to trucker from running away from cops.. snake did you know most of your suggestions are trying to ruin all other's gaming experiences..
Maybe if you have done 200+ OL, you will appear green, if not then you won't. This is when you arn't overloaded.
This would mean if you have done 200+ OL's then you pay the price of having the cops stalking you... :o
I do understand snake a little. He is used to do a larger amount of missions than others in a period of time. Doing this will get things more efficient for him. And although I disagreed first, I do see his point. If you think about it, yeah, weighting will just take 5 seconds of your time. Start gathering all your stops from one day and you will realize that $nake is right. We lose a large amount of time pulling over and being checked. Forbidding yourself from overloading in 10 loads is a good idea.
Lucky me, I don't go for efficiency, yet. I just take a load, turn on my User Track Player, turn off my UI, and enjoy driving.

its a problem to make it switchable ? i dont think so.. u r playing here long time too,
so without overloading times were better..
imagine:
50 missions x 10 secs (5 stop + 5 weight) = 500 secs (almost 10 mins of wasted time/day)
The reason cops camp in real life is because they have radars in their cars when go off when some one is speeding, they don't have that feature here so there should be no reason for them to camp its another forum of idling.

excately, thats why camping should be disallowed..
ah crap ...
My 2 cents.
Weighing - "I NEVER Overload" to a trucker, is the same as "I am Innocent" to an Inmate. Being weighed is part of driving a truck. If you can't deal with being weighed, don't drive a truck. It is part of the real world. But you say, "This isn't RL". Well then, why don't you just drive across the water in your flower covered bicycle pulling a trailer full of auto parts. It is meant to represent RL. If you want to take out weighing, then give the cops working radar so that we can catch speeders ANYWHERE. Give us the ability to detain your vehicle while we check that your paperwork is in order and do safety inspections. Or to even the score, you take out weighing for cops, take out arctic/Dumper missions from truckers. What? You say that isn't fair? So what you ARE saying is that you want to take away from Cops jobs and give nothing in return.
Camping - This is nothing but another form of "You have to play the game my way or you're wrong." I did this in RL. You have no idea why cops camp in RL if you have never been one. I use to park in spots of heavy speeding to slow traffic down. We parked in different areas to catch speeders in high traffic areas trying to "Make good time" and remote areas where "Nobody will know". We parked in spots to just take a break from constant driving but still be doing our jobs and catch up on some paperwork. We were often told by the Sheriff, and more so now days not to drive as much to save fuel costs. Cruising has its uses, yes, BUT so does parking in certain spots. Different agencies have different priorities. City Police go from call to call and have very little time to sit and do traffic. State Troopers are primarily traffic and highway enforcement. They park and cruise the highway. And a County Deputy, what I was, have the ability to do both. Mind you, this pertains to where I live.
As a trucker, you go from destination to destination. As a cop, you don't. You want us to drive all over the map looking for you. Guess what?!??! If I stay in one spot, YOU will drive by ME. If you know that you are going to get fined when you drive by Bone County, you are less likely to incur large fines before you get there. OR, you might decide to try to avoid that area entirely. Thus as a driver, get this, you have to THINK a bit. Therefore my presence there is serving a purpose. Just because YOU don't like it, does not mean it is wrong.

I think we can call it a day here, people. The server is balanced as it is. I don't weight truckers, unless I see strange behavior in his driving. To all the people who lost precious time, I do apologize for taking it, but I am just doing it by the rules. Being a lazy cop can lead to our badges being revoked. I personally don't want to pay 200 k for another one.
Cops are public enemy number one in real life driving. We all hate being forced to slow down our cars on fast lanes. Removing the weighting in CVT is taking away the one thing that annoys every trucker. Yeah you herd me. Paying fines is not annoying for you rich guys, who already have achievements completed, 4 slot houses, etc. This server is special in many ways, but the atmosphere is my favorite. Seeing a cop on my screen is like i getting a signal in real life from the incoming drivers about a speedtrap mounted ahead. You pass them by, hoping that they don't pull you over. This thing should never be removed.
I do think it's a good idea to forbid yourself from overloading, but I think it should be somehow limited, otherwise a lot of people will be using it, and those who want to overload will have a very much higher chance to get caught.
ThomasKirkman, you worked a lot on this comment and it's very well appreciated.
yes i agree overloading is annoying but where is the fun in just driving a truck from a to b all the time plus police need work otherwise people will moan theres not enough work for police class

My 2 cents.
Weighing - "I NEVER Overload" to a trucker, is the same as "I am Innocent" to an Inmate. Being weighed is part of driving a truck. If you can't deal with being weighed, don't drive a truck. It is part of the real world. But you say, "This isn't RL". Well then, why don't you just drive across the water in your flower covered bicycle pulling a trailer full of auto parts. It is meant to represent RL. If you want to take out weighing, then give the cops working radar so that we can catch speeders ANYWHERE. Give us the ability to detain your vehicle while we check that your paperwork is in order and do safety inspections. Or to even the score, you take out weighing for cops, take out arctic/Dumper missions from truckers. What? You say that isn't fair? So what you ARE saying is that you want to take away from Cops jobs and give nothing in return.
Camping - This is nothing but another form of "You have to play the game my way or you're wrong." I did this in RL. You have no idea why cops camp in RL if you have never been one. I use to park in spots of heavy speeding to slow traffic down. We parked in different areas to catch speeders in high traffic areas trying to "Make good time" and remote areas where "Nobody will know". We parked in spots to just take a break from constant driving but still be doing our jobs and catch up on some paperwork. We were often told by the Sheriff, and more so now days not to drive as much to save fuel costs. Cruising has its uses, yes, BUT so does parking in certain spots. Different agencies have different priorities. City Police go from call to call and have very little time to sit and do traffic. State Troopers are primarily traffic and highway enforcement. They park and cruise the highway. And a County Deputy, what I was, have the ability to do both. Mind you, this pertains to where I live.
As a trucker, you go from destination to destination. As a cop, you don't. You want us to drive all over the map looking for you. Guess what?!??! If I stay in one spot, YOU will drive by ME. If you know that you are going to get fined when you drive by Bone County, you are less likely to incur large fines before you get there. OR, you might decide to try to avoid that area entirely. Thus as a driver, get this, you have to THINK a bit. Therefore my presence there is serving a purpose. Just because YOU don't like it, does not mean it is wrong.

ehh.. ure always right :o but overloading should be switchable, im keepin wantin it :)
Thing is, this is a trucking server. It REALLLY ticks me off when players join - do exactly exatly exactly 100 Truck Loads. And then Only do cop work after that.. It's called Convoy Trucking. I'm not trying to have a go at cops, but just remember. This is a trucking server. If you only want to do cop work, why not go to a cops 'n' robbers server? ? ? ? :ukiddn:
NOTE: and if anyone has an argument over this please feel free to keep that argument to yourself -.-

imagine:
50 missions x 10 secs (5 stop + 5 weight) = 500 secs (almost 10 mins of wasted time/day)
BULLSHIT
Matt, you're right. It is called Convoy "Trucking". And the trucking industry has to follow a set of rules, highway laws and DOT laws. And who makes sure these rules and laws are followed by our trustworthy truck drivers? The police are. SO . . . Police are part of trucking. They may not be a part that you like, but part of trucking none the less. Without police, you might as well change the name to Convoy 'Free-for-all'.
The police aspect is the ONLY reason I started to play this game. So yes, I did 100 missions and got my Badge. And I am closing on 203 hours of play and haven't looked back. I enjoy doing police work in this game and I enjoy the CVT community. There are a lot of really good people on this server and a lot of hard work and dedication involved in keeping it a dynamic and enjoyable venue. Yet during my 203 hours of play, I have come to enjoy other aspects of this game as well. But I am primarily still just a convoy cop in game and in heart.
Yet you are telling me that I am wrong for this. I disagree. This game appeals to different people for different reasons. Just because the reasons are different than yours, does not mean they are wrong. Are you next going to start telling the people that fly that they are wrong and should not play unless they drive trucks? How about the Tow Truck drivers? Chauffer's? And with no Police, might as well get rid of the Thieves too. There is a much larger cross section to look at than just "Trucks" in this game. That is what makes it so great.

And don't give us crap like: if you want to be cop, go on "this server" or "that server". If CVT allows cops we will be cops here, the end!!!
I agree with everything ThomasKirkman said. (http://www.forum.convoytrucking.net/index.php?action=profile;u=3117)
A MASSIVE +1
WTH do people have to keep bringing this issue of cops camping up?? It has been dealt with multiple times (here (http://www.forum.convoytrucking.net/index.php/topic,10422.msg53462.html#msg53462) and here (http://www.forum.convoytrucking.net/index.php/topic,12214.15.html)) before. Stop posting about it, it has already been decided, quite recently too, that camping is allowed. i dont support it, but it is official and i just have to deal with it. GROW UP AND MOVE ON.
