Suggestion: Switchable automatic Side or rear loading

[dominiczeth]

Hey Loki, is it possible to add a button for switching between automatic Side loading and rear loading on and off?
Maybe in the future this would be a nice addition in my opinion.

It is possible, but for a lot of vehicles it really doesn't make much sense. A good example is the KRONE - imagine the whole volume of the loaded pallets and trying to unload them to the rear. You either need a much bigger space to the rear than is sensible, or you have to rotate it by 90 degrees and then need a huge space in that direction instead. I think the only option to make it viable would be to re-calcualte the packing, and I have not done that yet (for 22 or 25).

EDIT: Sorry, just re-read and I think you mean toggling the side/rear manual loading. In that case all you have to do is not use a forklift. I could do it more easily in single player. In multiplayer it gets really complicated to keep track of which players want manual loading and which don't.

I think i described it wrong ;)
I mean these two options:

Sorry, it was my fault for reading and replying on my phone without paying full attention.

Toggling these from in game is easy, but the hardest part is finding a new keybinding that is not already used! I could add them as unbound and then people can try to find a spare key for it if they want the option available to toggle from in game.

Yeah unbind is fine by me if it's not too much work for you.

I'm in the middle of adding a new feature now. I'll get that released first and then look at this one.

[dominiczeth]

No hurry, take your time 👍

Would you prefer this per vehicle, or as a global setting?

[dominiczeth]

I think a global setting would be perfect in my opinion.
