Thread: Truck support in NG versions

O4i - as always a valuable note - although in my opinion - unfinished.
Can users not understand what is going on ...
It is like this:
Vehicle dimensions are set in the options - car (Truck, Bus etc) profiles
Based on this information - the program tests whether the set parameters exceed (or not) parameters specified for the road and "stuck" in map files (ftr, fda, ​​spc or txt) or !!! in txt (spc) files.

If this is the case - then (with the proper SPEEDCAM-CAT configuration we see it on the map, and before we can see it in the "constraint specification" and in the route description - just as we see the limitations and warnings of other categories.

In NextGen - the file corresponds to the file - vehicle_selection.zip, while the limit (for this category of vehicle) corresponds to the file - truck.zip.
Proper display of speedcam - this is speedcam.zip file, - but if there is no ftr, fda, ​​spc, or speedcam txt files - then the whole thing does not work properly.
Even when the program is "full crack" and you do not need a license - here's a minor digression - in my Basarsoft version - actually a license for Truck is required.

And so:
With a properly configured vehicle profile:

we choose the route

Spoiler: pic1

If the vehicle parameters exceed the route parameters - appear - restrictions

Spoiler: pic2

which we can see on the map

Spoiler: pic3

or in route info

Spoiler: pic4

.ftr is definitely for truck restrictions, .fda might be for truck restriction alerts (but I don't think so), .spc/.txt are definitely NOT used for truck restrictions.
You have not indicates if you actually see alert icons similar to driver alert icons provided by .fda for truck restrictions. If you look at truck.zip you will see that it has similar setup for driver alert, where you should see alert icons if encountered. The icons are same as what you show under "Restrictions" menu (and what I posted)

"SPEEDCAM-CAT" (inside sys.txt) has nothing to do with alert notifications, it has to do with setting type of announcement (audio,speech) and TTS phrases used for only the 32 speedcam types

This is not true, speedcam (provided by speedcam.zip UX) doesn't uses .ftr nor .fda, it needs .spc or .txt under the speedcam directory. The "speedcam subsystem" has nothing to do with truck restrictions. It has nothing to do with driver alerts.

Yes, this is what I thought. Probably same with World. If license is needed, then it's NOT "fully cracked."

Everything you've shown are for settings and routing (not realtime), but nothing on realtime notifications or alert icons. Now perhaps truck.zip UX which provides it is not complete or not working correctly; but the idea of truck restrictions not supporting realtime notifications if you go off route or can't recall from looking at route info, is to me bad.

Of course it matter. If the version you're using required license and the license is only available for certain area (say Europe) then it's worthless to you if you're not in Europe.
