Rudel_chw Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Hello, I didnt notice it at first, since on my country we drive on the right ... but today I noticed that the vehicles should be driving on the left side: Not a big deal, but I mention it anyway, just in case it is easy to fix.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 7, 2020 ED Team Posted June 7, 2020 Hi, we have mentioned this to the team. It is not an easy fix currently, all vehicles use the same on the map, to have different areas with different directions would require new code. Is it worth the dev time? I will leave that to the team to decide :) Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Bagpipe Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 They were off their heads back in them days, drove wherever they damn well pleased what what! Alot less potholes you see old chap
Raisuli Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 They were off their heads back in them days, drove wherever they damn well pleased what what! Alot less potholes you see old chap In what way has this changed any? Serves the British right for establishing a standard before we were around to set them right. So to speak. :thumbup: :pilotfly:

So to speak. :thumbup: :pilotfly: The standard was set by gentlemen travelling on horseback in the days of old. Most people are right handed, so if you ride on the left side of the road and another horseman is approaching, you can draw your sword and defend yourself if the other traveller turns out to be a brigand. That's where it came from and has stuck ever since. 1 System spec: i9 9900K, Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Ultra motherboard, 32Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200 RAM, Corsair M.2 NVMe 1Tb Boot SSD.

BaD CrC Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 As painful as it is to write, the british are driving on the correct side. But it wasn't their choice. It was the way the Romans then French (Normands) were doing for centuries at that time when UK was part of their colonies. It's all US fault apparently that we are now all driving the wrong way. There is an excellent article about that on wiki. Anyway, back to topic. Yeah, absolutely worthless of ED's team effort. 2 https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden

I heard the legend, because most people are right handed if you pass on the left on your horse it’s easier to draw your sword than if you pass on the right. It’s only like urban legend

I will leave that to the team to decide Well, I may be the only one who's immersion is completely broken by all those drunk rookies driving unsafe on the roads of Southern England. But there's another reason why I take up the topic: 14 months have passed since and the Channel Map is announced to transit out of EA in short time. Maybe that is the time to reconsider this bug? It may have been acceptable for EA, but somewhat embarassing in the official release? And maybe one of the devs comes up with a solution that isn't as work costly as thought initially? And after all, they write new code every day, isn't that their job? 1
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted August 10, 2021 ED Team Posted August 10, 2021 As mentioned it is reported, but it will require dev time, and we just dont have that currently for a lower priority issue. I would suggest turning civilian traffic off if it breaks immersion to much as a work around. Edit: I have bumped the report internally, but can make no promises. thanks 2 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

J-1775 Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 Haha, the 'immersion breaker' was a little hyperbolic, of course. If I had to choose between, let's say flexwings for the Spitfire and correct traffic, I'd certainly go for the first. But thanks anyway for giving another attempt in bumping! For a simulation that gives so much on detail, like exhaust flames changing their color, it's just like a movie 'goof'. But a movie is final and you have the chance to correct. 2

During the battle of Britain, British drivers were encouraged to drive on the right side of the road in order to confuse the Luftwaffe into thinking they were over the mainland and mistakenly land at a British airfield. To further the illusion the War Office also provided VW stickers for drivers to place over the griffin logo on their Vauxhalls and outdoor diners had their breakfast sausages cut long and twisted in a bow so that they would be mistaken for pretzels from above. 2 Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1
