My Idea's (Striked the ideas that maybe won't be added)
1. Billboards (Sign's)
There should be more billboards saying where to go so not Only the wet county ones!
Like on non sign roads/roadworks when we have to drive around somewhere or (not so known) intersections...
Maybe we can use this for many things like " ****** Carpark ->" or "Route Closed" or "Toll Nearby/Slow Down"... (*** = carparks name)
2. Signs
Addition to the billboards: Traffic signs / Speedcam Nearby signs (Dont use the speedcam signs everywhere, but we can use these at some intersections to let people slow down!
3. About the Islands
I like the islands, but the square mapping isn't so cool, i know its for GPS/Gangzone's... But we shouldn't limit map's to these. We can remove some gangzone's where people known where everything is and use billboards instead.
4. Toll Upgrade
We should create the tolls more like real life, like signs saying "Cars left" , "Trucks right"... Its nice for an new island, because on the map highway's we can't do these. We need a new/upgraded island with WIDER highway's to do this
I know maybe some aren't added, but i just got some idea's for fun :) I hope you guys respect this.
I also know there is 1 scripter (Mick) so, we will see....
Thx folks :) :3
I like them all, so +4 :)
1. that would spam the server will more stuff I dont think we need
2. same as #1
3. the islands arent squares, they are unique to this server
4. tolls are fine how they are (currently) and to do that, you would need like a 6 lane highway... SA is limited to a 2 lane road/4 lane highway
5. ideas like what? I dont think this server should be like every other trucking server
I don't understand what your suggesting. Next time, use a smaller font and put what you have to say in paragraph form. :)

1. that would spam the server will more stuff I dont think we need : Well, the gangzone's also do lagg for some players
2. same as #1 : This wont spam the server much, but use them at places where players (sometimes) need help , like confusing roadworks where u dont know how to go to other side etc
3. the islands arent squares, they are unique to this server : Islands arent but some island city's are.
4. tolls are fine how they are (currently) and to do that, you would need like a 6 lane highway... SA is limited to a 2 lane road/4 lane highway : You can do this using custom mapping. I already seen (NON TRUCKING) servers doing this (rp,rpg,copsvsrobbers,...) + You can maybe to this on a 2/4 line highway but then put an billboard above the toll/above the highway & that trucks can fit under it....
5. ideas like what? I dont think this server should be like every other trucking server : Well, something other truckservers haven't , like the work bar... You guys should upgrade the GUI.
Putted comments in RED
Btw, to remove some lag, you dont need to put signs everywhere, but i want some custom speedlimits & roads. Because now the islands are boring (sometimes), but they (the islands) are nice addon to the server...
Edit: I like this server, but more upgrade's are cool & will let users stay on CVT and dont let them be "Inactive"...
+4 Agreed, I like the toll upgrade and more bigger signs.
I like the tolls idea. +1
+1 to tolls idea :)
A new island will be released within days, i am willing to try the toll idea, but im affraid, that would only be realistic, if it would be a road/highway with much traffic. We all know that new islands ( sandus), have a hard time to get traffic to it. The main traffic in cT moves around the default gta sa map, and Wet County. With a new island, there is no guarentee , it will be used alot for truck missions. For example, i dont know if you have been to truckmania, but they have lets say 7 islands, you hardly see big groups of trucks or truckers at all passing you. With every new island/expansion we make, the amount of traffic will decrease. Therefore i dont think, making a huge toll area would be usefull for CT. But i like the idea and i am certainly going to try this later on.
About signs and billboards, i think we have enough as it is right now. To be honest, and in my opinion, i think we would fuck up the map if we would place signs/billboards everywhere. Some points you made are cool, like the directions to new areas , but i will give a no for car parks/speedcams/toll (maybe).
About the islands, we have to make square islands since that is what mick expects from us. There will be a day that gangzone limits have been reached and there is no way to work around it, and maybe then we will get permission to work without it. But to be honest, i dont think many more islands should be added. as far as i know 3 projects from which 2 are nearly done and 1 will possibly never be completed(sf island), might be seen on ct, but thats not certain..

Some points you made are cool, like the directions to new areas , but i will give a no for car parks/speedcams/toll (maybe). Yes, its not needed that but we can create some at intersections to where the islands are / city's.

I Really hope the toll idea (& some signs) idea will be added ;) Thx for trying ;)
