fs19: vehicles should be chained down during transport

[TheDarkMonk]

vehicles should be Strapped/chained down (just like you do with bales and pallets) so they don't move during transport. People IRL (In real life) don't load a 12 ton vehicle on a flatbed semi trailer and just go on there mary way without chaining down the vehicle first. plz put this feature in the the game.

I agree, this wud be great to have implemented

[Virgo_Dog]

It's the EU revenge for Brexit. No straps or chains and cause mayhem.
Seriously, it would be a great addition.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you’re not the first to think of it, nor ask for it. It’d obviously be a great improvement. Unfortunately, though, implementing it isn’t quite as straightforward as one might assume. (Otherwise, it would have been there long ago.)

But, I’d say it is safe to assume that, if they figure out an effective way to implement it, in a way that doesn’t break something else and isn’t more trouble than it’s worth, it will be there.

Getting the straps to not clip through the vehicle would be a nightmare for the devs.

Throw in mod vehicles too and I'd say it is practically impossible.

Im sure they tried for 17, however the straps caused chaos with the vehicles collision boxes so it was abandoned. Hopefully they find a solution for 19 but ive managed fine up until now, well untill the AI traffic decides to spear you whilst manoeuvring (yeah im looking at you west coast traffic )

I don't think it is that complicated considering the straps already works on pallets and bales.
All 3D objects can have collisions. If the vehicle has a top collision then it shouldn't be that hard to adjust the straps recognize the vehicle and the collision and strap it down over it's roof.

The thing is tho a bale does not have a suspension and many moving parts a tractor just isnt one part. So if you were to just throw a strap over the top the wheels more than likely would go nuts and try to go through the floor or start glitching out in other ways. There are some trailers like the perardSTD https://www.farming-simulator.com/mod.p ... tle=fs2017 , that have a locking script that work well with implements and such.

[RODHA]

^^ you are right. didn't really consider the suspension part. still I'm pretty sure that a solution can be found. but may be it is just not worthed for the time that should be spent.
I know locking scripts btw. they are brilliant but as I'm on PS4 I can't use them.

Ya they tried to get it into fs17, but they couldn't. Sooooo I'm assuming they will get it into fs19

What if the chains were visual and there was a locking script in the base game to keep the stuff on? Would that work?

[juf.de]

There already is a locking script in the base game (remeber the harvester headers not falling of the trailer), however it works not to well on larger and heavier equipment and even worse if you drive fast. The PC only mod more realistic limits the issue with moving equipment on the trailer, but even that couldn fix it.

[W1der]

Strapping down a vehicle to a trailer the same way you strap bales would look "stupid".

If people cant learn how to drive ...
I know some seems to have problems with vehicles falling of even when driving carefully (I do not however).
It sounds as if GIANTS needs to come up with an additional solution for this ("chains" sounds like a solution) ...

To be honest ... "straps" is causing more problems in my game than being useful (especially in MP).

[Questionnaire]

What if they connected it using the hitch and or bumpers like irl

[RODHA]

if giants can implement some sort of ground friction feature that might also be a solution for FS19.
flatbeds can be adjusted to the highest possible friction level which could glue the vehicles to the trailer.
just a wild idea though.
