Euro Truck Simulator 2 worthy of purchase

Don't forget to enable them on your profile by clicking 'edit' before you open the save

talking of mods im trying to get 'nospeedlimittsm2.7z' as the other one I have dosn't work with TSM map mod but all I can find are these horrible download sites, I have reached my limit on one site, another site says my 'ip range' has exceeded the limit and other sites want my to register or just don't work, have even tried a proxy site but the download link buttons don't work on it

Ha ha I had exactly the same problem. The initial Scania was painfully slow (360bhp iirc) and would grind to a halt driving up sliproads when hauling anything over 7t!

Took a loan out, hired a new driver and figured I'd spend the rest on a new truck for myself. Bought the Volvo and upgraded the engine to 600bhp - much nippier now, can actually hit the limiter without having to go downhill :D

It wasn't so bad in the original release (where I levelled up) as the cargo weight wasn't modelled. I started a new profile with a 310hp Iveco and it's horrifically slow. You really need around 450hp to stop you going crazy with more than 10t on the back! Best starting truck at the moment is the Volvo as the FH16 starts at 540hp. The Volvo 750 is a bit of a beast, just pulls like a freight train.

Dont need a mod for the speed limit, its in the game now under gameplay options :)

As for me, im now running TSM 3.5 and Justplay mod, the only thing that confuses me is the gearbox's for some trucks, like 12/14/16 and different names, but in manual hshift mode cant get any higher than 12, annoying me to now end... Also i enabled these mods on my current profile with no ill effects so far :) also added -mm_pool_size 400 to the target of the shortcut as ive seen elsewhere it helps with TSM.

:) Excellent. Pleased it's working for you and I guess not CTD'ing in cities. Hopefully someone will report that gearing issue to them.

Busy updating everything from 1.3.1 now my internet works - curious about how the Iveco HiWay performs in TSM.

i've set my mm_pool_size to 500, but it is dependent on system resources - I did stumble across a forum article that explained why...if you have an uber beefy system you can set it to 600, from memory

I think I got the right one, a 330MB compressed file called zJPM_TSM_3_X.7z although I'm not sure what to do with the scs file now :D

Whack it in your mod folder in Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2, when at the profile screen, click edit, and put a check mark on the mod and click apply :)

And Weeble no CTD's so far, ive gone from sheffield to poland today with no issues to speak of, ive had a few unexpected large bumps in the roads though, kinda unsettled the truck at 70mph with 21t behind me, didnt end well lol.

As reported by others, when looking at putting the cursor over some countrys can be tricky as there are so many in such a small place and no way to zoom that ive seen anyway.
And as to the gearboxes, i think in auto mode or seq they will work fine, game seems hard coded to 12 gears for H-Shifters no matter what.
Some of the mods for trucks that justplay adds dont fit correctly, but i believe these are for the addon trucks just play had before this version which are not present for some reason (stax/peterbuilt etc)
 
Do cars take more risks when you start to level up?

I was about to turn left and took a wide right to get in the turn and this flipping car under cuts me! I missed it just, but I had to stop and and drive over the sign post to get in then the car kept itching forward and got stuck between the rails and my trailer.

Amazing no damage to me and didn't even get a ticket for a crash.

Then some other idiot decides to zoom pass me as I was turning onto the motorway, didn't even slow down. :/

I also managed to get my truck on two wheels on a sharp bend, but I kept it under control, that was fun. :D

Really need to find some sound mods, the engine and horn are so quiet!

Try auto gears if your new, get used to the handling and watch how it auto shifts

but the general rule is to shift in the green bit, top of the green for acceleration or bottom of the green for steady climbing in speed

Cheers, starting to get the hang of it now. :)

Just got to work on my reversing next... :p
 
Playing TSM 2.1 (2.1 + 2.1 to 2.2 patch and the 'No speed limit mod')

Had to start a new game to get the jobs to display in the new areas, seems you can only explore if modded into a previous save so start new if you use this

I Like the fuel prices on the lower map areas :D

What ETS2 version you running?

Updated to from ETS2v1.3.1 & TSM 2.2 to ETS2v1.4.8 & TSM 3.5, and corresponding JustPlay mod - whilst gameplay is a lot smoother now especially in 'new' cities, JustPlay has a lot less content in it wrt to trailers - no tanks, tractors etc.

Oh, and the current JustPlay mod doesn't require TSM anymore.

Tempted to go back to ETS2v1.3.1 & TSM 2.2...or can I copy files from old JustPlay mod, into new via 7zip...?
