The Pro-Trucking Challenge
For veteran drivers, the standard map and GPS indicators can make navigation feel too simple. By enabling “Hardcore” settings on your FREAKHOSTING server, you can force players to rely on road signs, physical map knowledge, and CB Radio communication.

Adjusting Immersion Settings
These variables are located in your server_config.sii file.
| Config Variable | Value | Effect |
|---|
force_show_map | false | Disables the “M” key and GPS overlay while driving. |
show_player_names | false | Removes nameplates from above other trucks for realism. |
force_speed_limiter | true | Locks all trucks to 90 KM/H (97 KM/H in US). |
Impact on Gameplay
When these settings are active, players must coordinate frequently via the built-in CB Radio (V key). Drivers must announce their positions by city name or landmark, creating a much more interactive and professional community atmosphere.
Marketing Your Server
Servers running these “Hardcore” settings are highly sought after by the Roleplay (RP) community. We recommend adding [Hardcore] or [Pro-Only] to your hostname to attract serious drivers.Support Channels
