Euro Truck Simulator 2 worthy of purchase

Anything below the mid-400s is a bit tedious. I did go try a 310hp Iveco pulling 16 tons and got fed up within 5 minutes. I got past the low hp stage before SCS accurately modelled the trailer weight, thankfully.

It's a relative...used the 510 DAF pulling 24T over-sized load Bialystok to Erfurt, didn't think it would take long, but only once got up to 55mph (downhill and got speeding ticket!) although cruised around 50mph quite happily. Couldn't sleep either, as over-sized trailer wouldn't fit in the small petrol station parking area for the game to register and cars kept driving into the back (causing 10% during the trip!).

Using the 510 DAF, attempted a 38T crane load, and gave up. My new FH16 540 coped, just. Doesn't damage itself just looking at a bump anymore, nor does it sound too bad either now. Gonna be putting a few miles on this now as it's not a bad place to be.

Incidently, SCS are working on 2 other new trucks atm too.
 
The new adaptive gearbox option helps with the low power trucks. With throttle wide open it runs the engine up to peak power rather than changing up for tree hugging reasons at the end of the eco zone.

Not tried a 38T load, sounds like a mod?
 
I got this game a few days ago when it was reduced. I am having a blast so far. It is so different to other driving games. Almost relaxing. Stick the radio on and away you go.

Indeed it is - Non-conventional trailer pack. Adds 100 odd stand alone trailers to the game.

The Volvo in the foreground is pulling a 31T load, the Merc's pulling a 38T load.

Just picked this up as i like the thought of just driving long distance in a game but not bother with the actual jobs part.

Any must have mods like routes in the uk thats semi realistic or nice cars oh and is there a car mod if you dont really fancy being in a truck?

Ok so just done the tutorial bit at the start and i cant for the life of me get that trailer to park at all, theres no decent free cam i could use with the 360 pads sticks. :( How did you guys manage?

if i remember correctly i used the exterior view with the Fkeys. The one which looks back at the cab from slightly above and in front.

With that i find reversing the trailer into the spots fairly easy, and its worth it for the extra reward for parking yourself
 
saw this in the steam sale earlier and i was pleasently surprised to find out its actually good so i bought it, it seems to be strangely compelling :)
 
Does anyone mod this game? If yes are there any essentials? The only one I've ever used was to remove the speed cap of 60mph so I can go yolo at 85mph on the motorway.
 
I picked this and the DLC up in the steam sale over the weekend. Got myself the standard Scania truck to use and been doing a few jobs.

Seems to be loads of mods out there for this. What mods are you guys all using?

Im trying to find a 1.7.1 no damage mod.

The no speed limit option is now built into the game.

I can get 107mph out of my 750 volvo haha

I'm too disheartened to play at the mo... The last time I played I wasn't looking at the screen and accidentally crashed into another truck at like 80mph... 49% damage.

Its around £1k per 1% damage, so yeah, that's quite expensive :p
