Howitzer · 23 Oct 2012 at 16:10

Oh my goodness! I'm actually going to D/L the trial of a simulator game! :O

Can you get the ferry or Euro tunnel to France?

Shashman · 23 Oct 2012 at 16:24

Both

Eurotunnel is well modeled, down to having to drive into the truck carriages

This must be good, two threads on it in the space of a week!

Must give it a go when i get home.....

Hmm has anyone found out what exactly is limited in Demo mode compared to the full version, doesnt say on their website what we can and cant do with 2 versions.

Sui · 23 Oct 2012 at 16:34

Haha, I played the demo version and got terribly bored after about 5mins. Guess it's not for me ;p

Shashman · 23 Oct 2012 at 16:40

They say the demo's not time limited, but after about 2 and a half hours of playing it on the missus' comp, I got a message saying the demo had expired :/

The downloaded game has no time limit on the play time, however access to some of the game areas is limited until activated. Play free to see if you like the game, and to check whether it is compatible with your computer.

Rude not to.

This and Farm Sim 2013 in the same week...

Hmm the game was released in the 19th tho and you can digital download it it now i believe

Gimpymoo · 23 Oct 2012 at 16:45

This game is BEGGING for some MMO goodness with proximity based VOIP for Smokey and the bandit, CB radio fun

We need to setup some routes with pickups and compare times.

yes there is a thing on there site as well to vote to get it in to steam, i hope with all this that SCS will keep the game up to date as the first one got very limited updates

GTAMADDOG · 23 Oct 2012 at 18:23

I had a go on the trial and thought it was good. The ability to listen to radio stations makes the miles fly by for me as well.

I got a bit carried away on a run from Liverpool to Birmingham and managed to roll the truck and trailer coming off a motorway slip road

Paul_cz · 23 Oct 2012 at 20:59

Can anyone tell me how is it possible that I am interested in trying a TRUCKING SIMULATOR?

I mean, a TRUCKING SIMULATOR?!?

Dave85 · 23 Oct 2012 at 21:30

That video of underground simulator was hilarious

Who hasn't romanticised about being a trucker? Alone on the open road covering hundred of miles in your articulated beast. As would be true in real life (all be it probably quicker in the game) you'll get bored of it quite quickly.

I have reverse parking down to a tee now with my wheel. Good game to kill some time if bored that is for sure. Just a shame the routes are pretty much made up, the road names are right for sure but I would really love something a bit more to scale. The way out of felixstowe to the A14 is just all wrong, same as all the rest, but hey maybe asking for to much.
