Too much resistance in the snow.
Posted: 15 Aug 2016 23:37
Hi.
I was driving on Iceland, with a 18t load. I kept a steady speed of 60km/h, until I hit the snow. It dropped to 40, and stayed there. Even on flat ground I was not able to accelerate due to the snow. Even on a downhill, I was barely able to reach 70, on a slope I would easily been able to hit 90 on if it was not for the snow.
Another problem I has, was that I had to slow down due to a sharp turn, in an uphill slope. I slowed the truck down so it was barely stopped (a bit of a mistake), but then I could not move. The tyres did not get grip. I did fix this by switching to manual for that slope, because the automatic would not work because the RPM was too low for 1st gear. But even then the truck struggled itself up the slope, because of the snow. There is just too much resistance in it. It's barely possible to drive on it. Snow is not that hard to drive on. If you go from a road with no snow, and onto snow, the car/truck does not slow down 20 km/h because of it. You keep the same speed ...
I hope this will be fixed in an update in the near future, because as it is now it's just frustrating. The mod would be perfect if it was not for this issue.
