Do you know if the Scandinavia map run off from the rest i.e. trips from say France can be done. Or is it a standalone map ?

I'm pretty certain it does like the going east dlc I persume

If you don't have the game linked to steam I'm guessing it thinks you don't have it?

thedude23 · 10 May 2015 at 11:20

I brought it from the website originally but linked it to steam last year

It's the one called "Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Scandinavia + Viking Legends" in the store.

That's what I bought - not sure how Steam linking works, but it should just point you to that.

The map is just a continuation of the game map like going east rather than a standalone.

Hmm, is it me or has the game got significantly prettier with the latest updates? I picked up the expansion yesterday, haven't explored it yet.

New weather and lighting engine shipped with 1.17. It's very pretty.

They did do a major update to the graphics in this patch, I find the high beams seem to counteract then sun glare if that helps anyone

The new dlc is interesting you can deliver live cattle now but they are a little static and low res

Loving the new Scandinavia DLC. Some of the new locations add much more of a challenge for parking/trailer collecting etc. Got stuck in one location as I only have 4x2 trucks and needed some extra drive wheels!

Just bought the whole deluxe package on Steam. The game is downloading, does the DLC stuff drop in afterwards?

Digital X · 16 May 2015 at 12:33

The DLC loads in with the game. If it's ticked as installed it will be there in game for you to use.

anyone tried the 1.18 beta with the merc truck yet I am downloading it now

Feek · 16 May 2015 at 14:02

OK, I've made two deliveries and this is mildly addictive. I'm using the keyboard for controlling and it's a little difficult (parking is impossible) so any hints, tips, essential downloads would be useful.

ProMods is good but haven't tried it with the latest update/DLC

The new Merc is good, I've done a couple of thousand kms in mine. The 510 seems a bit gutless compared to my usual Scania V8 520 though.

Not tried the old Merc yet to see if they fixed the godawful engine samples.

Oh how frustrating when you pull on to a roundabout following a car, the car gets confused and effectively stops mid roundabout forcing you to jump on the brakes and just tap it up the jacksie!

Digital X · 16 May 2015 at 16:10

Feek, you got a gamepad?

MagicBoy · 16 May 2015 at 16:12

Yeah, I used a 360 pad with it for a while. Worked much better than the keyboard.

Digital X · 16 May 2015 at 16:19

I used a keyboard for a fair old time, it was the sudden steering from tapping that caused all my accidents. I don't suck at driving I swear..

New update installed, shall test it in a bit.
