Truck does work, but you don't get the warn signs for height and other truck signs osiris4isis mentioned in post 33 ( on the side of the screen you don't get the height icon or every other one ).

...

Like i said before, truck is working, but without the signs, only the Warnings, thing is, when you get the warning there's no turning back in real life, and you do have a problem.
The route calculating is taking routes depend on you're profile, so normally you don't get to see the warning, because the planned route is not sending you through the tunnel.

Totally agreed, Ludo!
But, I don't think it is designed to have signs for Height/Weight/e.t.c. on the left side or onto the map.

Just imagine the situation - you're driving straight on the road with few left/right side roads, and there is no weight/height limit on the main road (the one you driving at). Everything is smooth. But then you need to turn left, for example, and there is weight/height limit... If you have planned route, the programm will never put you on that road (or at least should not), but if you have driving without route planned, then how the software "knows" that you are goting to turn left on limited road?
My opinion, if the software shows ALL the restrictions, then the map will be cluttered with signs. Moreover, you will need to look at the screen of the navi to confirm your next maneuvre (road safety here!). And I don't see a way to audio alert the driver, that there are any restrictions before he/she turns on that road.

Maybe I'm wrong, but my interpretation of left side signs is - for example, in case of "Go straight for xx km" = "Do not make any turns from your route, because there you have some restrictions". This is on "free" driving, without any route planned.

If you have planned route, the software should try to avoid any restrictions, or in case of not possible avoiding, clearly indicate that you might be in some trouble And it always shows the restrictions in Route summary.

Is it logical or not?

Regards.

But how comes when he set his profile to 5,5m the underpass the bridge there was no hight limit sign on the left of his screen, only the big warning, with accept or decline.

The navi route me at differend route, totaly avoiding the bridge *underpass). It was me, that make the "wrong" turn and went under it. It was just for testing, because I was curious how it will handle height limit. And I thik it handle it ok, because just before the bridge there is another road and the navi recalculate it in last seconds. But, I pass this turn again and it showed me the final warning.

Basarsoft 9.18.27.659452 with Arimi skin (that included truck.zip) should work "fully", but needs verifying. I don't like this version since it require license and so far only Europe has it.

Just for the record, AVICSYNC 9.18.28.696728 (2017_04_10) + truck.zip also is working, but as Basarsoft you need the proper licenses.
