[Fixed] using ferry from Thurso to Stromness/Kirkwall

I had to take the ferry from Thurso to Stromness/Kirkwall with the Rex-Tex 45 crane as my load. however after using the ferry and spawning in at Stromness, my truck and trailer violent move around in the ferry because the trailer seems to get stuck into the ferry causing damage to my truck and trailer. my guess is that this is caused due to the length of the trailer and the position you spawn in at after using the ferry. I put a pic of the location of the ferry trail

hopefully, this issue can be fixed soon. maybe even before the new update.

because i wanted to play further i used the teleport method to get me to the Stromness so i could deliver my cargo. i did make a save to show the issue if need be. i took a new deliver with a normal size trailer and used the ferry back to Thurso. this time i had no issue with the trailer clipping into the ferry

Large trailers don't fit in the smaller ferries, there is really not much that can be done about this

so you cant place the spawning point more forward so it does fit better?

It would have to be outside of the ferry

@DarknessEagleX, what version of ProMods are you using? And are you using any other mods such as custom trucks or custom trailers? If you intended this to be a bug report, please review the procedure for How to report a bug. If you intended this to be a general discussion, the topic should be in the Questions & Feedback subforum.

In ProMods 2.27, the Stromness ferry spawn point is a bit close to the back wall of the ferry. Using a 6x4 stock truck with the Tex-Rex trailer the player spawns very close to the back wall (but not yet touching):

Longer trucks and trailers may impact the ferry back wall.

But using ProMods 2.30, the player spawns in the Stromness ferry with plenty of room to spare:

If I remember correctly, I did recently move the spawn point forward to accommodate longer trailers, which I also did for the Channel Tunnel trains.
