Funkz posted:Holy poo poo. i upgraded my Volvo with a 1500 HP engine and now my truck is like a sports car, despite the fact that it is hauling a 20 ton trailer. Are trucks even supposed to go more than 170 kmh? The trucks they raced in Australia during the 90s were speed limited to 100 mph.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd_D7DM6azQ Watch at least the last 2 minutes.

Could someone link to a decent mod that brings some Peterbilts into the game? I really can't navigate their awful mod page.

Just had five consecutive trips from Calais to Rotterdam and back at 14K+ a pop.  I don't know if it's a bug or what, since all the jobs are originating from the same yard and have the same goods to haul every time! I'm aiming to upgrade my garage and it says I need 180 grand to upgrade it from tiny to small, but it only needs 100 small to large?

It costs 180,000 to buy the garage, then another 100,000 to upgrade it to large. When you start the game it gives you a "special" tiny garage with only place for 1 truck. When you buy your next garage it will cost 180,000 and come with place for 3 trucks.

Is it just me or do oncoming vehicles flash you when you have your high-beams on? I mean, it makes sense, but I didn't cover the front of my truck in lights for some lousy cars to get annoyed when my portable sun gets in their eyes. I'm the loving lightbringer.

My most favorite and surreal moment in TSM just now was cresting over a hill only to realize that the next 2 miles was basically a straight drop down with a 90 degree turn at the bottom. As I'm careening down at 170+kmh making GBS threads my pants, Frank Zappa's Bobby Brown Goes Down starts playing over the radio. I couldn't stop laughing. Also, apologies to the poor red sports car I think I rear-ended on the way down. It seemed to have disintegrated because when I noticed I received 2% damage to the cab I looked back and it was nowhere to be seen.

Ron Burgundy posted:Don't know if it's a big deal for anyone here, and many people already know about it, but I just found out about SoftTH. Because my graphics card did not come with any dual heading software, this is a great (and free) way to have multiple monitors on ETS2 and many other games. This is pretty cool, although I'm getting a thin black stripe in the middle of both monitors when I'm in the menu system (not when I'm driving, though). My secondary monitor is to the right of my main one, and when I turn my head to it now, it looks as if I'm looking at the passenger seat / out the passenger window. On another note, I experience some lag when running Fraps with ETS2 (not related to this .dll). Is there some problem with ETS and fraps? I've not experienced it with other games. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRSXeODwl3o for example video.

Does this game have super huge loads? I've been seeing some absolutely monster things (unsure what) being hauled onto the freeway, like 3+ trailers long, with no ability to pivot in the middle because the whole thing is rigid, on the commute to work. It looks harrowing to drive, and I totally want to be able to do it when I buy this game. Sorta like this video posted earlier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rsk36dc0CBE Except without the ability to (at least apparently) pivot in the middle and without a truck at the rear.

Second, the enemy car is still on the road instead of being freight-slapped into a windmill. E: Are his HEADLIGHTS on? I'm starting to think this isn't even a gif of ETS2...

So do any of the upgrades actually do anything other than change appearance? I'm driving a Volvo with the biggest engine I can buy right now and nothing else really. I feel like I should at least consider customizing it but it works and  . Wheel configuration at least? Also are any other brands worth considering? I'm sticking with Volvo due to it having the biggest engines available and I've got a couple of peons in Scanias.

Just ignore those other cars signals when your permantely driving with your high beams on though

CitrusFrog posted:Anyone else seen this? ETS2 Scandinavia map mod. Oh wow, drat that's really well made, I must try this out! If they included Värmlandsrasta between Karlstad and Kristinehamn my life will be complete. Funny story, I moved away from that area in 1996 but I later heard from some friends that the police had busted a real life Lot Lizard there! Really irritating that a team of modders can make this huge detailed map while it takes SCSoft months to make something smaller and less advanced (no ferries et.c.) that also costs money. This map will for sure be worth creating a new profile for. Sorry if Im typing like an idiot, I am way more excited about this map then I guess I should be.
