Well, something is hosed up. Reflection quality has a big impact and acts... really weird.

If I drive out and park in the middle of the road with low reflection quality teens to 20s fps just sitting there.

Toggle reflection quality to medium. 70-90 fps as long as I'm just sitting there not moving.

The moment I hit the gas and start driving fps goes (almost instantly) back down to 20 or so.

Park the truck, toggle reflections up or down a notch, back to 70-90 fps (100+ if I lean out the window and look back). Hit the gas... roll forward a couple yards and BAM back down to 18-24fps.

The only thing I can think of is asset streaming from the hard drive. But I don't hear it chugging or anything weird.

What are your mirror settings? Those have a big impact on performance.

That's less weird since I have done absolutely gently caress-all to optimise my settings and drivers. :haw:
Also, cranking up the scaling/oversampling and running at 2560×1440 tends to push the limits of my vram.

Two things:

1. Why do the traffic lights go directly from red to green with no red/yellow first so you're prepared? It just suddenly becomes green.

2. Why does so many cargo places have a guy standing at the entrance thrusting his hips towards me?

MY LIFE FOR YOU!
They are longer as is the trucks wheelbase, so no, not as sharp.

As for there being no yellow before green, we don't have that in the states as it isn't necessary, and would most likely confuse drivers, and encourage impatient people to start driving before green. There is a yellow light you can watch to be prepared, and that is the cross traffic light.

1. The US doesn't do the yellow light between red to green, only a yellow light to warn you that the light is turning from green to red. We are dumb like that.

2. Depending on your proximity to Reno/Vegas, he is either guiding you park the vehicle or is a tranny hooker.

Here in Pennsylvania you have the added fun of people coming to the end of an on ramp and rather than being up to highway speed, they come to a complete stop. I mean, yes, our state is dumb enough to put stop signs at the end of an on ramp during construction work but gently caress people who stop on every on ramp. I'm trying to merge properly.

Also, here in PA, we don't have guard rails we have "guide rails."

A-loving-men. If they ever put PA in this game, they need to include I-70 in western PA, which existed before the interstate system so was grandfathered in without having to come up to standards. The roads are in bad shape and there are several exits that are literally just POOF no merge right into the highway with no space to even see behind you if anything is coming. On the eastern end, you haven't lived until you drive I-76 near Philadelphia aka the Schuykill Expressway. This is another section that was grandfathered in. Again several exits that just plow into the highway with the added excitement of a bridge abutment right at the end. MERGE OR DIE! Here's Girard Ave onto the Expressway for example

As for future expansion, I hope we get the entire South from ocean to ocean. At that point if a rush job of beer from Texarkana to Atlanta isn't generated I'll be highly disappointed.

Impractical practicality
Southern California freeways are missing the most important thing about them the endless traffic. Driving 4PM in the afternoon Monday had as much traffic as a very quiet weekend in reality. Its a shame too becuase I wanted the challenge of having to deal with that many cars and the difficult lane changes.

Running in OpenGL it doesn't look as good, but it's more like 45-60 on ultra.

I know, different company, but I am running a R9 270X 4GB with everything maxed (even the scaling) at 1918x1010 in a window (that res gets perfect window size for the below screenshot on a 1080p monitor in Win10) and getting, at a minimum, 30fps.

I have a GTX 970 and everything is on max except the mirrors. I'm just about to try my DK2 with it. Probably have to turn things down.

I managed to park the way I wanted to in the tight garage thing with the excavator out front in cab view. I had to switch to bird eye view once to check where I was though. It's hard to judge how far back you are or can go.

No poo poo they sure have.. I think the issue is with the G27 gone the prices of decent entry wheels have gone up since your choice now is DFGT, or $500. When I was looking on amazon about 6 months ago to see what he DFGT goes for it was around 120.

The use to be around 120 or so.. Check your local craigslist..
I got mine for 75 with a "big boy" wheelstand..

Right now within an hour of me, There are 3 in the 120$-200 range with a stand.. the stand is usually 120 or so.. basically

edit.. look for "playstation wheel" as well sometimes they aren't listed as a driving force gt.

Just did and unfortunately the only non-poo poo wheel is an almost guarenteed mugging scam judging by its price and location :(

Also, I ended up running a red light earlier today, because it kept changing before I had a clear shot through the enemy cars in the oncoming lane. I've racked up a few fines for running reds and speeding already, but it didn't take very long before I could take out a $500k loan from the bank and hire a driver to cover those.

I really like (and sometimes hate) driving through cities that feel like cities. There's a narrow road along the ocean in Oxnard that feels like I should be watching out for tourists crossing the street without looking.

Okay other than night time the DK2 makes parking about 1000x easier. Really helps the situational awareness. Seems to work on Med graphics settings 100%. Ultra only works in the garage and High works okay sometimes but stutters other times. I haven't gone into the advanced settings to figure out exactly what causes slowdowns.

Today in ATS I learned that in America it's illegal to overtake on a single lane desert road.

I also learned that if I ever visit LA and want to hire a truck driver, I should head to the beach.

Yeah, what the gently caress is up with that? I thought double yellow lines signified something different, but I guess it's just pretty stupid then.

NERF THIS!


Double yellow = no passing, either side of the road
Solid yellow one side, dashed on the other = passing only on the dashed side of the road
Single dashed line = passing on either side of the road

Very required IMO, because many Americans would interpret that pre-green yellow not as "prepare to accelerate" but "GO NOW". Just like the pre-red yellow does not mean "prepare to stop" it means "GUN IT BEFORE THE RED MAN"

Which would lead to Pre-Green Yellow and Pre-Red Yellow idiots killing eachother in collisions.

Blinking? No. It goes Green-Yellow-Red. In real life, at least in California, it stays yellow before red for a decent length of time (several seconds, I recall its something like one second for every 15MPH of the speed limit on that road, but this is old unreliable memory).

Also very popular here, but not doubt endemic everywhere is the "California stop" where some people barely slow for stop signs that aren't busy... or for right-on-reds. Sometimes they barely slow even if it IS busy.

Yes, they are. Seeing all those 3/4-way "Yield" intersections in ETS where you don't have to stop unless someone is coming from another direction was quite surprising. That said, I'm sure they exist in the US too, just not in my suburbanized stretch of central California. Out here, even the country backgrounds have stop signs in one direction of traffic at intersections.

I use left/right dpad for signals, the only camera mode I have is the interior on right stick click, for reseting the camera while looking around. I use the other cameras so infrequently that the keyboard suffices.
