I don’t use cruise control and I don’t care what kind of functionality it has

Improving the cruise control mechanism

#1 Post by Taburetka_ » 27 Mar 2020 12:38

Opening and closing back the windows with the control button held down in OBT of American Truck Simulator, I had an idea about using the one-time press and hold function in other aspects of the game.
What if you make the same feature for cruise control?
Single press - +/- 1 km (mile) per hour
Holding - +/- 5 km (miles) per hour
In the settings, it will look like "choose a step to adjust the speed while holding" with options of 3, 5 and 10 kilometers (miles) per hour.

This improvement uses the same mechanism as the newly introduced window opening mechanism (one-time and long-press windows open / close buttons). However, this mechanism is designed for both games

This is implemented in real trucks(for example (but there is 0.5 km/h step): https://youtu.be/1QxsNHPCNKs?t=975) and should very well help in selecting speed when driving in traffic
