The Pro-Trucking Challenge
For veteran drivers and simulation enthusiasts, standard navigation aids can occasionally detract from the realism of the trucking experience. By implementing “Hardcore” configuration settings on your FREAKHOSTING server, you can force players to rely on authentic road signage, physical map knowledge, and disciplined CB Radio communication. This technical shift transforms a standard convoy into a professional logistics operation where spatial awareness and navigation skill are paramount.Difficulty

Adjusting Immersion Parameters
These variables are defined within your coreserver_config.sii file. To apply these changes, you must modify the values using the Game Panel File Manager and restart your instance.
Technical Configuration Registry
| Variable | Value | Impact on Gameplay |
|---|---|---|
force_show_map | false | Disables the mini-map and GPS overlay, forcing reliance on road signs. |
show_player_names | false | Removes floating nameplates, requiring visual identification of trucks. |
force_speed_limiter | true | Enforces a hard cap of 90 KM/H (56 MPH) for all participating vehicles. |
Strategic Gameplay Shift
Implementing these constraints significantly alters the community dynamic and player interaction.Marketing Your Realistic Server
Marketing Your Realistic Server
Servers using these settings are high-demand targets for the simulation roleplay (RP) community. We recommend incorporating prefixes such as [Realism], [Hardcore], or [Pro-Only] into your server’s public hostname to attract serious, high-skill drivers who value authentic procedures.

To complement these visual restrictions, ensure your
force_speed_limiter is active. This promotes synchronized movement and prevents “speed-hacking” behaviors that can disrupt the pacing of a large-scale convoy.Need Extra Help?
