3fps! That's a bit odd.

I'm running Ultra High settings (125%) with only AA turned off and it's fine on a C2Q 9550 with an ATI 5850 @ 1900x1200. AA on had a significant performance hit when I upgraded the monitor earlier in the month. Ran fine with AA enabled at 1680x1050, but 1900x1200 was too much.

Thanks good info. I am certain there is an underlying issue and that I should be able to run it! Just can't work out what's going wrong.

Finally!

The joys of pelting along the motorway at 110mph haha

Think the speed de-limiter mod was being conflicted by the uber engine mod i had running lol

Is there any good configs for the xbox controller? I find that the wheel moves by itself and im constantly having to adjust it.

41 page thread on a truck simulator. Go on then - is it good?

MagicBoy · 28 Dec 2012 at 15:21

Read the thread and find out!

Anyway it's 16 pages on the hardcore settings.

Try adjusting the dead zones.

Surprisingly, yes.

It is quire addictive as at the moment i cant go a day without a bit of trucking!! I always choose the small routes though as i get bored with long hauls.

danjama · 28 Dec 2012 at 16:01

I started the demo last night after getting addicted to this thread on xmas. I was up until 3am and have just have a 3 hour stint. Been to Lille and Manchester today!

Despite my graphical woes, i'm actually enjoying it a lot. Can't work out how to add radio stations though.

The wierd thing is, my step dad is a trucker and I used to go to work with him all the time, all over the UK and France. I can't bring myself to tell him about this 'game' I now play. He'll tell me to f' off.

truck simulator?

why does this topic have so many posts

Ja5peruk · 28 Dec 2012 at 19:34

well the game is awesome, reason for mega posts

F2kSel · 28 Dec 2012 at 19:54

I wouldn't say awesome, coming from being a hardcore sim racer I find lack of FFB a major floor. The truck mod for rFactor was awesome especially the FFB.

Also the sounds are very lacking and coupling is arcade like not really what I would call sim level.

Having said that it is addictive.

danjama · 28 Dec 2012 at 20:13

The sounds really are lacking, though im not too bothered about the ffb.

I would like a mode to practice maneuvers and reversing a trailer in particular. Takes a good few tries to get it.

MagicBoy · 28 Dec 2012 at 21:05

IMO it's really good for a product from a small studio that was produced on a very limited budget. It's a bit unfair to be comparing it to polished top end releases from the mega publishers.

It's a reasonable price. The developer are happy to allow the community to mod the game. They're seemingly interested in taking feedback and improving the product (new offical forum here). SCS are making headway as regards licensing the brands - DAF got added recently, Volvo are likely coming in the next patch. It's been approved for Steam as well.

Keep it up SCS.

Would anyone mind uploading a default copy of the livestream.ss file?

I seem to have ruined mine and now it crashes the game when I click on radio.

Want to replace with the default file. Would really appreciate it.

I have it's not this, it's very annoying, like it decides to move by itself

Thanks but it didn't

My own fault, I seem to have completely fluffed it up.
