Spotify is what I have on in the background lol, and Burrows I know what you mean, I'm yet to encounter anything in game that has stopped me from progressing, so im wondering where the limitations are demo-payed.

I don't know why this is so enjoyable, with a decent wheel/shifter using the split-range gears is fun 
Only thing I wish that the satnav was a bit more detailed/reliable.

Love this! made me laugh how calm the driver looks.
Can't get my own radio links working,I've followed the guide in Documents but I must be doing something wrong.Anyone got a list of UK Radio URL's?
Oh and an idiots guide on how to get them working
From the game readme:
Open the file „Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\live_streams.sii“ in your favorite text editor. Here you can add as many radio streams as you want following these steps:
1. Copy the line below to the location hinted in the file, or just under the similar items:
stream_data[]: "RADIO_URL|RADIO_NAME"
2. Replace RADIO_URL with the URL address of the radio stream. Then replace RADIO_NAME with the name you want to see in the game. Remember to keep proper formatting, especially the "|" character that separates the radio URL from the name.
After you are done, save the file and close it. Launch the game and open Radio. You should see the radio streams you just added on the list. Double-click one and it should start playing.
Example live_streams.sii file
live_stream_def : .live_streams {
stream_data[]: "http://123.123.123.123:8000|My Favourite Radio"
stream_data[]: "http://anotherradio.com/stream.mp3|Another Radio"
}
Supported streams
The game supports all MP3-type streams (except MMS). With proper codecs, which are often already installed, you can also listen to many other stream formats.

Has anyone tried the other one they made called UK Truck Simulator? Wonder if the route are a bit more real.
They did, but it's not as good, no option to buy your own truck, basically anything, it's just you driving around for other firms delivering stuff around a few major UK cities.
I downloaded the demo last night, it is scary how long you can play it for without realizing.
Anyways, done a few cheapies, love my little shed hut garage thing, took a loan out, bought a truck and now creaming in the cash doing short hauls on the continent. had a few prangs, and those damn speed camera's, lost about 2K in speeding fines.
Yea ETS2 is the best by far the other ones are just stepping stones.

Nah you can buy your own trucks etc in the UK one:
http://www.uktrucksimulator.com/
Start your career as an employee of a cargo transportation company, work hard to be able to buy our own truck and start your own business. Purchase garages and setup branch offices across the UK to accommodate your growing truck fleet. Upgrade your trucks and keep them in top conditions for maximum efficiency.
Seems to use the exact same engine as well.

I managed to find BBC Radio 1, but I never ever listen to the radio but here you go!
This is copied from my live_streams.sii file add it at the bottom as you mentioned and you might need to change the number at the start.
stream_data[61]: "mms://wmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/bbc_ami/radio1/radio1_bb_live_ep1_sw1?BBC-UID=45805809f026eed5c54a979ad1d0867f79333672b010a191d2f23323f4b4f575&SSO2-UID=|<font face=/font/cp1252/normal.font>BBC Radio 1</font> (128k)"
I can get more if you tell me which.

Haven't played this yet but is the drive time realistic from say London to Paris?
Soldato
No, none of the drive time is.
Associate
How long would it take to get from London to Paris for example?
Soldato
15-20mins? Just a guess! I'll find out when I can.
Associate
Super fast trucks or just very little amount of miles?
Soldato
It's all scaled down basically.
Manchester > Aberdeen took around 40 mins.
