Please consider keyboard players when making the map.
Some ramps are very narrow with guard rails on both sides and some turns are so sharp they are barely possible to drive without going outside of the road.

Most of the players use keyboard I'd say, including many of our devs, so all ramps are doable with keyboard ;)

Maybe you're driving too fast on them?

Hi,

I can agree on the statement from Voytek - I'm also playing with keyboard without any problems.
The speedlimits there (mostly 30 or 40 km/h on narrow ramps) are not there for fun ;)

Best regards,

If doing down to 20 is to fast and realistic then I don't know...
Had places where my front left bumper is over the white line and the right side of trailer is scraping the guard rail.

Tbh I think in the pursuit of complex roads you go to far and build to many sharp and narrow ramp turns.
Afaik sharp ramp turns always have like 1-2m outside the white line on the inside to help trucks, not 0.5m or less with guard rails on both sides leaving no room for error.

Earlier, near Irun I belive, had to make a very sharp right turn which left the right wheels of the trailer outside the road on the inside while I was driving on the while line on the right side with the tractor.

Can do all these ramps just fine with my wheel, but I do not get to use it that often.

Use console command: warp 0.86 or warp 0.8 to adjust game speed more realistic and easier to steer in tight corners.

Or you just need to drive even slower. I'm using an keyboard too, there aren't many places I've got a problem with.
The only piece of tread I do have issues with, is the on from the Kirkness quarry.
For the rest, heavy haul trailer or not, I haven't got any problems.
Just slow and steady does the job :)

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.
