Spent a hour so far trying to connect a trailer to a truck...

Hi, im new to the game and so far have played a hour or so where i tryed to hitch a trailer in a car park. While this was fun and all can someone tell me how to acctualy connect the damn thing!

I have tryed the L key, Ctrl keys. Litraly evry key on my keyboard. Restarted the game. Evrything but re install it.

No one seems to have had this problem befor. So anyone here have any sugestions?

Thanks.

 

Hmm, not sure if you're trolling but welcome to the forums anyway. First, your vehicle must have a coupling device; a tow hitch or a fifth wheel upfit . Then use L key or radial menu > couplers > toggle or attach all. If that doesn't work, verify integrity of your game files in launcher > support tools. Some towing related files might be missing. Observe:

 

Go into settings and take a look at what you have the hitch controls bound to.

Options --> Controls

You are looking for "couplers: Toggle" in the "gameplay" controls, just use the search option in the controls menu

By default it is bound to "L" but something might be wrong with the binding.

Alternatively, use the radial menu that comes up when you hit "esc". If that doesn't come up, go into esc --> apps --> radial menu and place it on the UI.

Once you have the couplers toggled so that the colored spheres are showing, just get a compatible hitch close enough to a receiver and it'll automatically attract and connect the trailer

 

Yep having the exact same issue here. You're not crazy. Checked my controls, cleared the cache. Did everything, and got nothing for it.

We're talking about the first Scenario 'Supply delivery'

It's broken.

The only way to 'couple' the trailer to the truck is to crash into it hard enough for it to be wedged into the bumper. But that doesn't start the mission timer, so what's the point.
I hope it gets fixed soon, or there's some solution.

 

I heard, that D-series config used in that scenario simply doesn't have a tow hitch

 

So did I just buy this game to get trolled?

 

Nope. This scenario was added long ago, and with all this D-series remasters, (which messed up old configs due to removed/added/renamed parts) devs probably just forgot about to update this config for scenario

 

The D-Series configs got renamed, and the scenario wants one that got renamed, so the game falls back to the default config that doesn't have one.
As a solution for that, disable 'Competitive scenario conditions' in the gameplay settings, press CTRL+W (the parts selector) and equip the tow hitch.

 

Check this thread before reporting an issue, that broken scenario has been a known bug in the current version of the game
