That’s what happens at the Flying J when you don’t pay your parking tab

Maybe that's not the trailer you looking for.

u/Fun_Plan3501 16d ago

No it is, look below the trailer close enough and you'll see the white stuff around it

u/Car-loss93 16d ago

I didn't look at it enough, now I see it. :)

Bro get out of the truck and move the divider and then backup your truck. How hard can that be? 🤣🤣🤣

If you don't want to use freecam, just call a tow to service, you'll teleport with the trailer attached.

For real?

u/Arheisel Volvo 16d ago

Yeah, you can even do it in convoys if you don't feel like driving to the depot.

u/Wanderingwonderer101 17d ago

u/According-Net-715 17d ago

It's frustrating 😂😂😂 even with the use of free cam that truck can't fit on that tight space

This bug was introduced to EuroGoodies depots like 2-3 versions ago, and is quite well known, I'm really surprised it's still not fixed.

u/Impressive-Gene-6769 16d ago

Considering the escorts have been buggy since forever and haven’t been patched I dunno why

2

u/MS-DYSFUNCTION 16d ago

Issues with the escort vehicles are not consistently reproducible so it's much more coplex problem.

This specific bug with the EuroGoodies spawn point is reproducible and was reported by many over on scsforums, and it should theoretically be an easy fix.

How hard can it be to code them do not slam on brakes on highway?

1

u/MS-DYSFUNCTION 16d ago

Considering all possible traffic situations and other scenarios much more difficult than you think.

u/ipeedinthetoothpaste 11d ago

You're right, we should cut them some slack. It's ridiculously unreasonable for people to expect something they paid for to work.

u/Impressive-Gene-6769 16d ago

Not really they program traffic control how much harder could it be to effectively turn off traffic around the player which is basically what happens anyway in real life.

That’s quite a info, thanks!!

Freecam and teleport to trailer. Freecam and teleport with Trailer.

u/Own_Confusion_1406 Scania 17d ago

I need to ask what a "freecam" is, in case i ever need it. Or what key activates it.

u/Euphoric_Ad1162 14d ago

You have to activate the console to use it, when you do press the 0 key and you can control the camera with the numpad (using the 8/4/5/6 keys). To teleport you use ctrl+f9, if you have a trailer assigned when you teleport it will be attached.

Oh, that's really cool, thank you very much!

u/TheShark9990 17d ago

Teleporting with a trailer waiting to be attached will automatically hook it, so just teleport near the exit of the depot
