Automated Tow

[Shiv_P]

Hi,

After being pretty annoyed at loosing 373KM today after going OOB and having to Shift + P, I think a good idea would be to have something like !pitlane where you should stay stationary for 5-10 seconds, and then you would be teleported to pitlane. Obviously it should be expensive, e.g. 600-700, but it can help in the circumstances where you go OOB like I did and avoid loosing large distances

Any thoughts?

Bad idea.... Just simpel as that. You destroy the tow /med/res job

[Shiv_P]

That's why it would be so expensive... no one would pay 600 or even 1k if they were on the track if they could just get a tow/med/res to do it for free/100, or would they?

Even if you have to have a TC member approve that you are OOB before you can use the command would be helpful, as it really is frustrating when you loose a lot of KMs

If everybody drives carefully, there is no problem. I see what you mean but if you go oob, you have clearly screwed up somewhere lol. Trip will become meaningless if this was implemented. It is much more fun to have only the RES.

Didn't see it like that really, guess it is a bad idea...

Its a good idea, but I don't see it working very well. It may even take away the challenge of driving long distances.

No.

Yea having second thoughts now - don't think it is a great idea after all!

How will a [MED | RES | TOW] Reach you OOB? seriously read #1 Post before posting

The command needs to be restricted and to work only in 1 location which is Off road. This way [MED | RES | TOW] Job won't be destroyed.

Good idea, +1!
I've also lost +600kms trip once @Westhill after being crashed by a robber escaping from COPs which is something really annoying and doesn't encourage to keep you playing and to reach 1,000kms. So this suggestion should solve all the problems

Why not? Mind giving us a argument why this suggestion shouldn't be implemented?

[KooKoo]

+1 and the price should be higher, 2k maybe.

I had basically 175km yesterday and I failed, crashed to a barrier, flew OOB, happily I was inside Oval ring, and I drove under sz2 and saved my trip, always it doesnt help that you are careful, for example lag or a rammer who ruins your 995km trip... (I sitll remember Angels 1k trip what ended horribly after flying car smashed him THROUGH the asfalt OOB, Trip Lost!

You know what happened to me once? I lost a 997km trip by entering the pit too fast. Should the pit lane speed be higher? No. It happens, not much you can do.
