Development on version 1.x (Italy edition)

Great work!

Now these are mouth-watering screenies!

Meanwhile, one thing that's always bugged me: on Italian motorways, the fast payment method is called "Telepass", not "Tele-pass", which, in addition to being incorrect (blame on SCS for that), sounds French.

There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the French. (semi-cit.)

Also, in the first screenshot, the "no access" signs ought to be much nearer to the split in the road, and in the fourth one the sign for the roundabout is incorrect - the one you used is used at a distance (150 metres before), while the one right on the roundabout is this:



Example on the road: http://goo.gl/maps/WkkSE (please ignore the stone wang in the middle of the roundabout)

Thanks for your work!

I haven't noticed any gameplay difference between telepass and carte. Is there any?

Telepass is free-flow tolling. As ETS2 doesn't have support for those systems, they fall back to plain tolls. If SCS implements it, I imagine those lanes will be changed to some kind of generic system.

Tehnically, they could use special speed cameras with specific fare and very low speed limit?

[jdenm8]

I've thought over it before and, if I was to implement it, that's exactly how I would do it. Hardcode the speed to zero and add the toll as a definable variable on the object.

However, that's up to SCS to do, the Speed Camera code has never been sufficiently flexible to do it. Prior to 1.11 you could define a variable to compare your speed against, but as of 1.11 the game remembers the last speed sign you passed and compares your speed to that. However, you've never been able to define the fine from a particular camera, it's always been set to (I think) 220 Euro.

Thinking on it deeper, the Red Light Camera code would probably be better suited, but you still can't manually set the fine.

Moar signs!

Delicious signs!

And no corrections this time!

Really good to see you guys working on Italy. It would be good to have, traffic moving in and out of the ferries ports to make the challenge more interesting.
Keep on the Good work...
