Board index American Truck Simulator Feature Wishlist and Suggestions. Improved Fueling System 19 posts 1 2 Next. Improved Fueling System 1 Post by Optional Features » 22 Aug I recently stopped at a truckstop while traveling, and took a couple moments to admire the fuel island as I left.

In the days since, I've been thinking about ways that the existing SCS truckstop fueling system could improve. Here are some ideas.

Reworked traffic system similar to an in-game tollbooth At a truckstop like this, the fuel island is a hub of activity. Trucks come off the street, queue up to fuel, fuel, then pull forward before continuing on their way. SCS already implements a similar system to this with tollbooths although the trucks stop once.

Realistically, in a truckstop, the trucks would stop thrice. Once behind a truck already fueling, once at the fuel island, and once after fueling. now there would have been a time when that would have raged me to the point of quitting i just laughed as i no longer give a toss..

and i knew the decay timers were going to be up.. its all just a reminder of time wasted. i still read this forum though when on the bog as one does,just thought id make one final post good luck to you all that still play. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

PC Specs: Ryzen 9 X, ti, 64GB RAM Mhz, Samsung SSD EVO Plus 1TB, HP Reverb G1. I am very surprised that nothing was done with it so far.

Also, if you to repair after the flight and then refuel the plane will not start again. The autostop procedure will run, but ground crew will not engage initial starter. So the only remedy is to respawn. I was flying my with my brother yesterday and we both got the refueling bug.

As a matter of fact we always get the bug when we fly the it's really annoying because we like to try and keep our airframe as long as possible before we have to spawn into a new one again, and with the we always have to get a new bird after every mission.

Please fix this, it's been two years already! Here are 2 tips to solve start up and refuelling bugs:. If you touch anything, the procedure gets disrupted and fail. If you by accident touch anything, then autostart procedure will go through all steps except of inertial starter.

To start up the engine you need to ask ground crew in communication menu to RUN INERTIAL STARTER. You may need to open canopy.

Wait for COPY reply, then wait further 30 secs and when ground crew shout some word [ forgot what exactly it is ], manually pull engine starter with the mouse.

The engine will kick in. Also 4 days ago I found out by accident how to make Inertial Starter to engage after refueling. Go to comms menu and press REARM AND REFUELL. After ground crew is done with everything, go for Autostart procedure.

Fuel from external tank will immediately gets pumped into internal tank and the inertial starter and engine will kick in. As you fly around in Messerschmitt, after every landing just put a new fresh L external that will keep topping up internal tank.

just REARMING. Congratulation for purchasing Messerschmitt with all its quirks! Bf will fly far at rpm in Auto mode, so even L will keep you in air for 1 hour in mid altitudes.

No need to cruise at rpm or more. Mine is set to 29units LEFT and is tuned for rpm level cruise in Auto Governor Mode. Well I found out that if you refuel, wait until it stops the first time, and before the bug starts trying to refuel you forever!

again, just roll forward a bit until ground crew yells bloody murder! it's not pretty, but it works until ED can find this gremlin that's been hiding for over two years now. Cheers, hope this workaround helps. Stop gap between represents 2 refuels, first is the fuel second is mw50, the second one is bugged.

I am having decent success by planning my pit stops in advance and following that plan unless something extraordinary happens.

rain, safety car, etc Understanding that fuel is consumed as follows Medium : 1. It is not exact, but it is certainly a good guideline. Most of the time, I end up taking the maximum fuel and run at higher engine modes. I feel that is the speediest strategy. Occasionally, there are exceptions.

These are rare. If I can take softer tires and not have to make an extra pit stop, it may work out that a full tank is not needed to run in overtake for the entire stint. In this situation, I take less than a full tank of fuel.

If I can run minimum stops and set up unequal stints such as 9, 9, 4 and still run at overtake in the long segments, I may do that and take less fuel on the last stint. When the decision is close, I take full fuel loads on earlier stints as unused fuel will reduce fueling time. Early in the season when my parts are not of high reliability, I will alter this plan to accommodate High mode instead of Overtake.

Overtake will cause repairs and I have found it is better to plan for High and don't use Overtake until maybe the last lap or two. In these cases, it is possible that less fuel is advisable.

I put this information together by tracking lap by lap fuel consumption and tire wear. Synopsis: Run in Overtake Mode if you can. Take the fuel you need but don't reflexively fill the tanks. PLAN length of stints based on tire wear and fuel availability.

This makes a huge difference. I hope this is helpful. Interesting comments. I'm currently in the habit of NEVER filling my fuel tank. Even at the start of the race I only put enough fuel in to get my through my first set of tires.

It sounds like this is a bad strategy, as I'm then filling up to laps worth of fuel each time. It sounds like it might be better to fill the tank at the beginning and only put more fuel in when necessary, such as maybe a final pit stop.

At this point I should probably stress what a colossal sense of scale the game has. See that mountain thirty miles away? You can drive there. You are driving there, for hours and hours. And unlike huge games like Morrowind or Oblivion, where the world seems pretty big because you're on foot, in Fuel you're travelling at around 70mph, all the time.

Those distances begin to seem even more enormous, even though you can't get out of the car. I begin to doubt I can circumnavigate the terrain in under eight hours. I have climbed up a gigantic elevation into some mountains, and I am now plunging, offroad, between wrecked trees and scraggly bushes, towards the valley floor.

The sliding, crashing, tumbling process seems to go on forever. It's beautiful here. I switch over the music over to Susumu Yokota 's Grinning Cat. As the terrain becomes more desert-like, so the gentle electronic lulls me into a kind of bored trance. The endless road seem increasingly dreamlike.

I occasionally crash headlong into the zombie trucks which are cruising aimlessly about the roads. Crashes don't happen if you're paying attention, and when they do it's just an instant reset a few yards back, which is fortunate for me.

My smoking, battered ride found itself refreshed perhaps a dozen times across the journey. Early on, I had noticed an overheating oil gauge and smoke billowing from the engine block, and had feared some kind of realistic damage system would cripple my progress.

Not so. I'd been blindly following the GPS at this point, which only seems to compute the next road that takes you in the general direction you want to go.

This means that if the roads don't link up - like when there's a canyon or river in the way - it can end up taking you in circles. Annoyed, I start to look at the map more regularly, and stick to main roads for a while.

Tastes like American road movie. Someone at Asobo Studios has spent some time thinking about what an extreme-weather apocalypse might do to North America, and has then expended plenty of effort bringing that vision to life. The details are what makes it interesting to explore.

One of the greatest geological features in North America should perhaps have moved me, but compared to what I'd already seen, it seemed rather unimpressive. At this point I decide to have lunch, alt-tab, do some blogging, write a couple of emails.

I am delayed by around an hour. When I set off again I move the music over to Eluvium , for a rather more mesmeric, cinematic soundtrack. Deep in the rippled sand-dunes of Fuel's endless southern deserts if one of its few urban areas: an abandoned city amid, well, a vast dustbowl.

Hello, Dubai ? Something like that. I don't stick around. Have you ever seen the early Spielberg film Duel? Fuel's big black trucks immediately brought it to mind.

There needs to be a game mode, perhaps a mod, in which you are just a guy in a domestic automobile, trying to get across country. And the truck is hunting you. And it absolutely will not stop. Paranoia in a vast landscape where there is no-one to help you, and nowhere to hide.

Or perhaps the scale of the terrain and its half-hearted apocalypse could be employed to make a difficult experience even more explicit. Some kind of game with the conceits of Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

Heading south, slowly, looking for food: the real fuel shortage faced by the book's doomed characters. A high score table for how far you make it across the map. No one makes it all the way.

Or, hooking back into rather more traditional Americana, a ranching cowboy game. The undeveloped wilderness of Fuel suggests something about old America. What about a true game of cowboys and indians, where you're moving cattle, fighting off bandits, cougars and indians?

Trying to undertake procedurally generated cowboy quests across five thousand square miles? A game on horseback in this vast world would make things seem even bigger. Then there's the logical step up from this simple apocalyptic racing game template: the evolution into a game of ultra-violent Mad Maxian speed tribes.

Oh Gods of game development, it's so obvious. So clear and perfect: Asobo Studios must, must deliver a Fuel 2 in which I'm racing across the desert with a gang of oil-punks, hunting for the last dregs of resources in this burned land. A freeform action game with RPG, or even management elements: the intense battle to become the dominant road-warrior brotherhood of a vast, abandoned North America.

Yes, please, that needs to get made. And the terrain, the world, it's already right here, and I'm driving through it, like a nation-sized showroom of videogame possibilities. Just imagine making a home of this, furnishing it with tales of hi-jacked land-trains, haywire ambushes by machinegun bikers, and hairsbreadth escapes from roving packs of helicopter gunships.

Moving fast through Fuel's wooded areas is thrilling, even after several hours. I'm travelling through a fire-ravaged tract of the game called The Ashtray, and the ruined forests seem to have reached a topological crescendo.

As occurs irregularly throughout the world, a fighter-plane shoots overhead, reminding me that I should have spent the day playing Arma II.

Thanks, game, that was really unnecessary. Home of the famed Charles Drownington, the inventor of death by inhaling water? Drownington Cove is the second abandoned city on my trip.

It reminds me that this is nothing like the real America, although based on its satellite mugshots, instead it's a cut and paste videogame creation. The bridge is clearly some kind of nod to the Bay Bridge, while the city could be San Francisco's downtown, or it could be New York. Whatever, I can't reach it.

I look at the image of the collapsed skyscrapers in the lake for a bit, and then move on. On the playlist I put on some lively Orbital remixes, to increase the pace, to stay awake, to stay motivated.

I might be hallucinating. I've begun to sense the terrain ahead of me before I see it. Or do I? I glide onwards with weird inertia. Finally I arrive at the northwestern corner of the map, where a vast inland beach plays home to a beached and derelict gas transport ship. I bounce around in the dunes for a bit, and log out.

My work is done. So there we have it. I might be a madman, and Fuel is probably the most impressive work of open terrain in videogame history. My tour took all day, and barely a covered a fraction of the full map, missing out entire mountain ranges, and the central core of the world.

A shame, perhaps, that this map doesn't contain more life, or more flexibility for the deliberate explorer. And the limitations of thing were showing through by the end: those same ruins, those same cow-remains, that same jet-fighter.

But at least it exists: a kind of videogame ode to the American wilderness. You can click on this image for a slightly larger map of my journey.

Not just that but single player, Blackwood, dedicated. The problem is official, because when you add all the numbers up official servers are what the problem really is.

Players have been crying out for new ships and ocean going content, and what do we get? cats, seahorses and plague carying rats amongst other things that nobody really asked for. im defending noone , i dont know the man personally but hes work has given us more entertainment hours than the entire movie industry combined for fraction of a price think about that for a second, so to come here and piss on another mens work without anything to show for saiz more about op then the shit hes trying to deface thats the way i see it.

Well yeah man. Of course I am with you on the ships. That is a bigtime fail on their part. Along these lines I would like to address that they should not just release multiple types.

That would screw then over as well. lets say every mega patch is one new ship type. That should actually be sufficient. But yeah you are totally right.

Making a pirate game and then going months without an extra ship would be considered unacceptable in my eyes as well. We have a cat gang around here and we know how to deal with those kinds of people lol. I know plenty about jeremy and one of the main things I know is that he made it to where I had to pay for a dlc when ark was in early access.

Simple as that. They have some good artists and obviously have talent on the technical side. The problem is in game design and the execution of that design. for someone who had over hours i stopped playing about a month and a half ago jumped back in yesterday out of some weird curiosity with blackwood went into my pve to see i lost all my base buildings,animals ect but i had galleon still sat there lol now there would have been a time when that would have raged me to the point of quitting i just laughed as i no longer give a toss..

and i knew the decay timers were going to be up.. its all just a reminder of time wasted. i still read this forum though when on the bog as one does,just thought id make one final post good luck to you all that still play.

This fueling bug really could be the end of your run, mission, or MP game. If your engine is on, you can "cheat" your way out of being stuck on by moving and "resetting" the ground crew, but if your engine stopped for example, due to being out of fuel , you are simply paperweight on the ground: your crew will never finish fueling, so you cannot call for inertial starter, therefore never start up and move.

You are simply done for. Also, if you are in need of repairs and need to shut down your engine and don't do it on the "correct bugged order", you could also end up no longer being able to start. This has happened to me in several MP games and it just completely spoils hours of work towards your objectives.

Just like the Dora engine blowing up bug, this should really be a priority, and, I can assume, not that hard to "trigger" the right procedures. This is, in certain scenarios, unrecoverable from.

Please bump this to a higher level priority? This is reportedly getting fixed on the release announced today. If that is true, great! Database service failure - Resolved ×.
