I have just gone from Germany to Paris and gone on two toll roads which was a nice touch.

Dozing not yawning should stop you from having control of your truck.

Where are the motorbikes?

No police cars either, sure they will come though via mods. Has only been a week.

Go modders, go!

Would be nice to be pulled over by police as well, pedestrians maybe.....?

There should be a Dennis Weaver mod where you've got to force a small red car off a lonely mountain road

WHAT A FILM!

There's a pedestrian check box in graphic options but it doesn't seem to work.

We would need permissions from the mod authors to host them elsewhere.

Indeed, if you got together the mods, I would take care of that.

Actually ive just seen a pedestrian,mustn't of had the box checked before.

Here's the list of my current mods, all but one or two can be found on this German forum.

I can link to every one of them if you have troubles finding them yourself.

Smokey and the Bandit - Just started.

Some of the new converts might be interested in this.

I have just worked out how to do my own skins, this was just a 2 min test so I will be spending time tomorrow designing my own Witcher skin for lorry and trailer

Just tried out the demo, surprisingly fun! Shame it only includes artics though, would be nice to having some other interesting vehicles in there.

Some tips on how to improve the graphics (on Nvidia cards):

Also from that German forum (albeit I found it earlier on Guru3D, so don't know where it originates really).

You have to disable Scaling and MLAA in game for SGSSAA to work!

Some extra options you can try, Negative LOD Bias to Allow and set LOD Bias to -0.125 or more. This will enable sharpening on textures when the blur from using SSAA is excessive. Mind you, higher negative values will introduce texture shimmering!

I also turn on Gamma Correction, force on Anisotropic Filtering in drivers (as per the screenshot) and Vsync (limiting framerates to 58 fps to counter input lag).

I hear good things about disabling DoF and Grass in ETS 2 to improve the overall visuals. Haven't tried it yet, though.

Just flipped my truck going 90 mph with an oversized cargo.

Ross1234 · 27 Oct 2012 at 21:31

My truck wont go over 56mph, it seems to be some sort of limiter? How do I sort this?

Realistic Physics Mod v1.4 or Speedlimiter mod.

My drivers really need to step up their game, I'm making 10x as much money as they do.

My ever expanding list of mods, so far no incompatibilities found (but I've got a few to test that are certainly incompatible with the More Traffic/Parked AI Fix.

And my Nvidia Inspector profile:

Watched pants-factor with the missus, although that James Arthur is pretty damn good. Now time for some trucking
