Anyone played "Euro Truck Simulator"

[MURDEROUS G]

Ihave cerebral palsy and when Im concentrating the quietest of noises make me jump 10ft, so it would be carnage on the roads if I got behind the wheel

So just don't concentrate? Problem solved

lol got this game a while ago and loved it, another trucking game thats quite popular if anyone dont know about it is the 18 Wheels of steel series. Great games tbh

Not bad game since the driving is long anyhow. I just play it to relax in and put smokey and bandit tunes on when driving and pretend im a trucker lol.

I found it terrible.

It left out 90% of all motorways in Europe, the interchanges are terrible poor detailed and not authentic, the traffic is not realistic/way too light, roads are undetailed too and not authentic, you have 3 lanes in the game where in reality at that bit there may be 6 lanes per direction. There are no collector/feeder lanes at places where there are in reality, and it's just terribly worked out.


Especially the Benelux area, Paris area and Ruhr in Germany are a disgrace ingame, here's a map of the actual motorways, all the orange roads are motorways except some, say 3 or 4 small bits of road ( which are simply dual carriageways with 2 driving lanes and an emergency lane ) :

That means they left out more than 90% of the major roads .


Now I understand why they can't make everything perfect, but they even left out the most important trucking routes aka The ports of Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerpen, Duikerken and Le Havre, pretty much all important places where trucks come from/travel to and important industrial area's like the Ruhr in Germany...

There might be an exciting add on pack!

There might be an exciting add on pack!

An exciting add on pack containing the majority of the game?

i have to ask, does it make a difference if you set cruise mode at say 50mph and do that throughout the journey or is it better to just floor it to your destination? i cant seem to see a difference if i do floor it or not for seeing if i burn more fuel or not...

If they've missed out 90% of the roads, I doubt they've thought of fuel economy .

yea, seems a kinda shame as surely thats a key feature i'd have thought. I may as well hammer it through the roads at 90+ km/h

 

[Sweetloaf]

Surely this should just involve setting up a road block and refusing to move for a few days?

 

[platypus]

No no, thats French Truck Simulator.

ive had it since last year and i find it quite fun to play, gets a bit boring when you have to stick to the slower speeds even so when your travling long distances. i find it a shame you cant cross the channel though

Does this have a first person view? I played bus simulator, found it fun, but i prefer SIMULATION rather than arcade =/
