[Fixed] [#52] [1.62] Turku, trailer sinking/bouncing issues at ferry

[haluko]

I came across a very weird thing, of which nobody has reported. I was pulling a trailer loaded with tractors, from somewhere in England to Turku/Finnland. I took the Stockholm to Helsinki ferry. On the Helsinki end my trailer started to jump up and down and hitting my truck, damaging it. I detached the trailer immediately and drove away. Then I saw that the trailer had sunk halfway into the deck of the ship and was still jumping like crazy. I found an autosave just before entering the ferry. I took the ferry again but the very same thing happened again.

There was no way to save the situation, so I had to revert to the most recent usable autosave.

I'm using the latest version of ETS and Promods 1.6.2. There are no other mods installed.

Sorry I don't have any logs, only the attached screenshot.

I had this problem myself last night, we shall fix it.

You can still get to your destination. Call to go to the service center, which will send you to Turku!
Although, you might get a bit of damage in the process...

For the time being I'd prefer to avoid the ferry in question. It should be ok in 1.7.

I went to Helsinki in v1.61 and had no problems. Then again, I always completely park the truck (parking brake, neutral, engine off) on ferries. I don't know if that makes a difference. I'll test by taking another job there asap.

We lowered the ramp & boat to prevent overweight cargo getting stuck but the ferry node didn't move, as a result you are now spawned halfway in the boat.. this is the issue. Quickteleport with 0 - numpad keys & F9 also works.

Quickteleport?

Thank you. Though I didn't use it up untill now, I knew about the freecam. I did not know about this feature, though. I also didn't read your sentence correctly, so I didn't make the connection, apologies.

Numpad 9 = increase height
Numpad 8 = move forward
Numpad 5 = move backward

Note that you can "steer" your camera's position and change height by moving your mouse while holding either Numpad 8 or 5...

CAUTION: always return your "camera" to a position quite close to the ground, and pointed in the correct direction before pressing the F9 key to exit this mode!
