For those of you using Xbox 360 controllers, what's your controller setup? Mine is pretty awful right now and I was looking to change it to something better.

You know how the D-pad on that controller sucks balls? Don't map your lights next to your retarder or you might suddenly find yourself hurtling along a downhill Ausfahrt at 90kmh in complete darkness in the middle of a rain storm.

This is current as of right now, but I probably won't try very hard to keep it up-to-date if the one in the OP changes.

Awesome, thanks a lot.

Well I got about this far, but I can't seem to export the file and have it work in the game properly. Everything gets replaced with a texture that says "Texture Missing" or they just get all jumbled up. Also the dog never shows up in game. I don't know blender well either, so that doesn't help.

There's gotta be a bunch of goons that could fix this/help you. Anybody know the appropriate thread to ask in?

Cause what you really need to start working on is a dead hooker/hitch-hiker mod.

What's everyones highest speed? I managed to reach a little over 180 kph driving a load through the African desert.
Pffft, amateur.

What's your fastest while going through a gas-station (petrol pumping point for all the :britain: bandits out there), while leaning out of your window staring backwards?

edit: Are there any smokies with ears on?

Anyone who uses a 360 pad know how to get the steering to be a bit quicker? Once I start going faster than 5-15 kph steering becomes really slow. I basically have to stop if I want to do anything sharper than a 10°-30° turn. Does it have to do with the linearity option?

Dude, you're driving a truck simulator. It's gonna handle like a truck.

Man, I know this game has its hooks in me deep when I've not only modded my truck to have the correct (smaller) fuel tank capacity, but I've just spent half the afternoon tweaking my new skin to be just right (and am still not 100% happy, of course).



But hey, if I can be rolling across Europe in my own customized Truck, what is the point?

Not enough dead hooker storage.

From that link:

Note that this is a hardware only bugcheck, most of the time. The only software that can generally cause this bugcheck are OS to BIOS utilities or software such as Asus' AI Suite that provide a direct bridge from the OS to BIOS to perform on the fly adjustments, monitor voltages and BIOS settings, etc.

So if you're rocking an Asus board check what processes you're running.

And thanks for the help with the radio, will try it.

FYI to anyone interested in trying ETS2MP: Don't bother until the next version comes out.

They made the 55 MPH speed limiter mandatory as a lovely overreaction to rammers, but of course the end result is that no one except total :spergin: "fun ruins my immersion" types can enjoy it. There's not even really a challenge to driving at 55 MPH, you can take most turns other than 90 degree intersections flat out.

They had a community vote that was 2/3 in favor of removing the limiter and apparently decided from that to split the servers in the next version to two with limits and two without.

There's multiplayer?

When can I blow a .19, get into my rig, fire up eurotrance.fm on the radio, and hook up with some other goons to go gently caress with truckspergs?
