Euro Truck Simulator 2 worthy of purchase

Has anyone got a link to a good site for downloading mods?

I google half of the above and the only ones I can find are louder interior, which is good and realistic tires, which I haven't tested yet
 
Any suggestions for mods that improve the traffic? I got one that makes them faster but I feel its still quite sparse compared to the real world.
 
I admit I was one of those that poked fun at this game. And then I bought it during a sale and now...

..have loads of fun playing it :o

Is it easy to mod like flight sim is? Can you dive into a trucks configuration file and mess with it? Like make the engine more powerful and stuff?
 
Doing some maths...

Just wondering how the miles scale in this, as I know every minute in the game is 2 seconds irl, so if I travel at 60 mph that's 1 mile per minute or 1 mile every 2 seconds in the game.

This is my progress on my 'main' profile (started new one for mods)

How far have I actually traveled?

EDIT: and could anyone calculate my overall average speed from this?

The game is freezing on me and changing radio stations without me doing nowt, I only have the map 2.2 mod and it has been fine for over 23k miles but from Kiel to Glasgow it has frozen twice and then suddenly comes to but goes on stuttering like I have been driving, only I haven't so it runs into whatever is around!?!

Happening to anyone else?
 
I've been sucked back in...downloaded the Scandinavia map, and after pottering around did a 700 mile trip Malmö to Bergen. In comparison to TSM (older versions) the road designs appear better - particularly like the road works. The cities really do feel like cities with lots of buildings and streets - Oslo was cool. Scenery is more detailed than TSM - was 1hr from Bergen, going over a viaduct into a tunnel, observing a ship in the fjord - only to go head on into a Scania and get 87% damage. Crawled into Bergen late, paid 87000 to fix my MAN and wipe any profits of that long run.
 
One complaint I have in this came is the way the 'clutch' works. I hate that applying/removing power reduces the engine speed immediately. This is not how a clutch would work. Given that almost all trucks now come with an automated 'manual' gearbox, this is your usual cogs and clutch affair, which means it is a hard coupling through the clutch. You can mod a variable according to some forums but I would have hoped that SCS would have fixed this after so many updates.


Looks like the chaps at SCS are doing American Truck Simulator next, so we should see a bigger variety of trucks in that game!
