Already got speeding fines, crashed etc! Steep learning curve for me! Might scrap user and make another.

When I played the demo I missed the turning for Dover ferry port and ended up turning around at the next junction, only to get stuck and have to spend 5 mins getting around the barriers and cars to drive back down to the turn then cut across a load of traffic to board my ferry.

I am the best lorry driver ever.

Krugga thanks for that list!

Btw why do you want to remove yawning?

Because it's annoying and the louder interior sound mod increases the volume as well.

Oh right, I guess that makes sense

I hope this gets even more popular as those German chaps use Upload.net which is useless unless you hold an account with them.

This is something I've just read from SCS:

The upcoming extensive game update is going to bring quite a lot changes and improvements, lots of tweaks to the map, to AI, to physics, to lights, translations into new languages, and more. We are currently in beta testing of these changes, but it's a really big batch of code, art, and design touches, and may take some time to polish (perhaps up to two weeks) before we hope to be in shape to release it.

So maybe there won't be a need for some of the current mods.

Hopefully those fixed are good

How do you make a truck skin then? i want to have a go while waiting for full game to arrive.

I don't think any of the mods I am using are working, do you have to activate them in game somehow, or?

Nope, just extract SCS files in the mods folder. What mods have you got installed? Try them one by one, perhaps some are incompatible (modify the same data).

The radio should be controlled/heard from within the cab only. Ruins the immersion with it playing on menus/outside etc.

Only ones I have installed -



I'm pretty sure the Real Physics is working but I don't think the real logos or trailer skins are.

 

[blackadderV]

I am slightly tempted by this as I have a DFGT and Tir5 and looks like a great option for a less intense game.

Are the roads well populated or is it quite sparse?

I know that the road map is not 1:1 or even completely inaccurate in some places but are there real landmarks in relative positions and road signs to relative places even if you can't go there? In these sort of games the more immersion the better.

Are the new devil's punch bowl tunnels in if you take the route down to the south coast from London?

 

[Tibbz2]

When I played the demo there was a decent amount of traffic in towns but the motorways seemed to be rather clear, unless there was a car parked in a lane indicating with a massive pile of traffic behind it

Still have no idea what they were doing, saw a few cars doing that...

I'm using different skin packs so can't help you with that.

Is the Real Logos mods updated?

Parking the trailer successfully is strangely satisfying, even though it takes me a good few minutes to get it in the right hole.

[Tibbz2]

I gave up when trying, mine was too stiff and wouldn't go in straight.

 

[KnightStalker]

I think they missed a pretty big part of this out, instead of starting with an arctic(sp) we should have started with a rigid 7.5t and worked up from that.
