I'm just throwin' this out there; have any of you run across any of these truckin games that have "random events" that just happen? I'm thinkin' about things like; deer jumping the road in front of you, four-wheelers cutting you off, picking up shrapnel in a tire and blowing a skin, having a re-tread on a company trailer fly off. or am I the only one that's ever had these things happen to me in real life? I've played different games where there was a 'random events' button you could turn on (and in some games, control the frequency of these events). before anybody says "well, that's a dumb idea" just think about that and ask yourself "do things like that happen in real life?" if you even THINK that the answer is "well, maybe..." or "well, maybe...but", you've just said "yes". I'm just thinkin' that might be a cool feature to add... well, any thoughts?...

My friend, great ideas, but they are almost a scripting impossibility.
We're happy just to have reflective water and decent sunlight: trying to make a game have realistic random events is a whole different league!

Animals can be easily put in the newer games. Even haulin can have them. Ivan was gonna use this idea from me but his map got too big and he got too busy with what he already had. As for tire blowouts, that would be pretty cool. I like the idea of random events, the problem with these games is they're monotonous, even with different countries and scenery.

letting 12 y-o drive trucks is enough of a random event for me.
