American Truck Simulator

It just seemed like the thread was full of justifications about why their job was too complicated for a game, as a roundabout way of denying automation of the industry will ever happen. Head in sand kind of stuff.

 

Train sim is sweet and just keeps getting better. It takes a long time to head to your engine and then hit the yard and start finding your cars/building your train via your load orders.

 

This thread has become tiresome. I'm out.

 

Funny. Now let's reverse the roles here....i can create a freight broker simulator but it won't simulate the fat lazy driver who is always late and always has an excuse.

 

One story I will take with me and share is that we had a load of tomatos flown in from Holland to Kennedy underneath a thousand pounds of green peppers.

The kennedy dock boss cursed me out and said load this the way it is don't touch a #### thing. So I did.

What I should have done is restacked it a mile down the road...

Anyway I get to Norristown Grocery and the beautiful tomatos were mashed. It's alot of money here.

The result was three payphones used at the same time. One contained my dispatcher, two contains a person from holland and one in the world trade towers in NYC trying to stick someone, preferably me with that tomato bill. All sorts of yelling.

You could not program that into a game....

 

Why wouldn't it? There's a percentage chance to have a service failure, and we have credit ratings for carriers for that exact reason, right? What would be so hard about percent chance of failure for your NPC driver?

 

Then let me ask why the same couldn't be factored in for the driver?

 

I never said that it couldn't, just that it didn't need to be to be a proper simulation of driving.

 

My apologies...I grabbed the wrong reply. I agree with you. My mistake

 

This was the reply I meant to grab
