EMC Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Short description: The new Auto Pilot system is amazing! However, it doesn't work when doing trucking! Commands to add: INSERT/AutoPilot to work regardless of /startshipment status. How would your suggestion improve the server? For people like myself, who enjoy driving so much, the only time we would use autopilot is during long, boring drives, like when I'm working. Edit: Just for anyone curious, I am not employed with a company, therefore realistically I can install whatever I want in my truck, cheers. There is also a way around the block for truckers, so it's really not stopping anyone, just making it a bit extra of a mish. Edited October 1, 2021 by EMC 1 1 Link to comment
PeopleKind Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Autopilot bugs out the most during longer routes so I dont think it'd work to begin with. Link to comment

You can set your destination somewhere halfway and then set it again when you reach it. If it messes up along the way, simply reset the destination marker and reactivate autopilot, and it usually works again. Link to comment
ScarletRose Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Would be nice. I'd like to be able to be on my way to the supplier while I choose my route in /startshipment. Save some time. So, I'm supporting. I can see why they made it not work with trucking though. Imagine if you can just go afk while your truck travels across the map by itself. It would easily turn trucking into almost an afk job. Of course, the only downside to auto pilot at the moment, is how buggy it is. 1 Link to comment
HerrFalcon Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 AFAIK, Nervous made it unusable for trucking/taxi because people can then go AFK or just watch their screen then spam selling the cargo once you reach destination. Link to comment
EMC Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) In my opinion, that is the entire point of auto pilot, not saying I'm right though. The idea behind auto pilot seems more like making vehicles being able to drive by themselves, not some supernatural inability to use it on the same vehicle I was using it on 5 minutes earlier with just because I am running a delivery. Hypothetically, If you use auto pilot to go to the pickup spot, then use /startshipment, load the van, then use /startshipment again, but don't select a job, just cancel out of it, it resets the job allowing you to then auto pilot again to the drop off stop, where you can use /startshipment again, select the drop-off spot you're now at, and drop it all off. So essentially, you're not stopping anyone from doing anything. Edited September 30, 2021 by EMC Link to comment
Dewclaw Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I personally would enjoy being able to use it to utilize my radio and chat/RP with the other truckers instead of just pressing WASD for however long my route is when trucking. (Though admittedly I don't do it too often anymore because it's just not that enjoyable.) Link to comment
Late Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Can we add it for taxi's too? Kind of pointless if taxi's aren't included. Link to comment
Fabulous Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Terrible idea, encourages money grind even more as if the millionaire truckers aren't already a thing. 1 Link to comment
mj2002 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 With the average speed being quite low, I think this actually a good addition for truckers. Its much better than how the average player drives anyway. Please add it to all vehicles classes that are capable enough. Link to comment
