Spec me a TRuck Sim

Kavalree · 9 Jul 2011 at 18:29

OK, weird thread.

I would like to play a proper UK based truck sim that has Class 2 vehicles.

As long as the game is as realistic as possible, graphics don't matter.

so, come on, spec me up!!

Big Rigs.

Best truck simulator ever created!

Sega's Eighteen Wheeler was good fun in arcade!

Big Rigs, agreed

Mark3h · 9 Jul 2011 at 21:21

Big rigs, obviously.

Downloading the demo of UK Truck Sim. But would ideally like a UK Truck Sim that has Class 2's in ( Bigger than 7.5Ton, smaller than artic)

Big rigs looks well rubbish and rubbish codeing. I prefer "euro truck sim" accept I tend to find myself falling asleep at the wheel, as the tasks/trips are long and boring.. But its quite realistic tho and you feel like a real trucker delivering your cargo to places :cool:

LMAO! The fact that the game crashes in the first 30 secs sets the scene

For those who missed it:

I would hope it is not too realistic. Getting up at 2-3am hitting the road listening to the radio getting stuck in traffic drive for 4 hours have a break and a fry up, drive another 4 hours unload. Park up for the night and do it all again.

Anyone remember Big Muther Truckers?

neoboy · 10 Jul 2011 at 13:53

Not UK based but 18 Wheels of Steel Extreme Trucker is pretty good.

shaddy666 · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:06

+1 for uk truck sim and I would also recomend visiting : http://truckpol.proboards.com

Oh man, Street Cleaning Simulator got to be the best yet

Mr Krugga · 10 Jul 2011 at 16:18

Big Rigs looks superb

On the serious note, Euro Truck Simulator/UK Truck Simulator/German Truck Simulator are decent games with large communities so there's plenty of mods and decent support for the games. Euro Truck Simulator 2 looks even more promising but that is coming out by the end of this year.

The latest 18 Wheels of Steel title, the Extreme Trucker series, have no financial aspect to them and it's basically driving in the harsh environments (Ice Road Truckers lol). They're one of the worst 18 WoW games.

With that said, all truck simulators are pretty poor, B-grade productions in my opinion.

Lmao a street-cleaner sim?

and I like how they use the same kinda title font that the MS Flight Sim series is known for.

I love the writeup on the site:

Brush off the dirt and make a clean sweep as you embark on a career to become an accomplished street cleaner. Use your highly detailed sweeping machines to roam the city in search of muck.
