TjyvTompa posted:Also, what's up with the Mercuric/Potassium Chloride trailers? It feels like I have a flagpole with a 10 ton weight on top of it, I must have turned the truck over like 6 times doing this trip, it's only 17 tons too. This is my experience with pretty much all the ADR cargo I've driven so far. When I drive forklifts and pressure tanks I have no problems doing highway turns at 140km/h (though I might need to use all 3 lanes), but as soon as I drive dynamite or gasoline my truck will flip over even in gentle turns once I pass 110km/h or so. Maybe the game simulates the centre of gravity for your cargo and ADR stuff has a higher COG, thus is more prone to tip over. Hard to say.

I think the default is actually to push the left analogue stick forward to accelerate (which is terrible).

TacticalGranny posted:You actually have to enable them in the light configurator. Use the 'Cabin Adjustment' link in the main menu, or hit F1 to pause while driving and choose the light adjustment. From what I can see, the game can't use both the top and bottom aux lights at the same time. They work separately just fine, but if I enable both at the same time the bottom ones won't work. They still show as "on" if you look at the front of the truck, but the light displayed on the dark road looks the same with just the top aux lights enabled as it does with both top and bottom on at the same time. If I enable the bottom lights first, the light on the road visibly grows brighter, but then dims as soon as I turn on the top ones. If I enable the top lights first, turning the bottom ones on and off yields no visible change.

One day I hope we can get a truck simulator where it is possible to recreate crashes like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-23970047

I gave up worrying about lanes and decided to just use the entire road. Weaving back and forth at 140km/h with 15 tons of dynamite on the trailer is more fun anyway.

ivantod posted:Speaking of Hungary, I've recently become aware of a mod that replaces the ETS2 normal map with a very detailed version of Hungary only. So far there are about 30 cities, but they are planning to expand it to about 300 when it's finished. Wow, this map is insanely detailed and realistic (not that I've ever been to Hungary to compare). If I have one wish for the base ETS2 game, it is more detailed and lively urban and suburban areas. I don't think I'll play the Hungary map, but I'd love to see DLC that had way more realistic maps at the expense of being more limited geographically.

This game needs the ability to get things like this in your window for each country you pass through: For added realism we can get fined constantly for it as well (this truck was detained in Norway a few days ago for having an overtly obstructed view).

ovaries posted:Yeah, turn up the deadzone. The 360 controller's analog sticks are crazy loose and they only get worse after continued wear. It's not a bad idea to occasionally recalibrate them in Windows as well. Ain't that the truth. When I use my 360 controller in Dolphin I have to set increase the deadzone from 0 all the way up to 20 just to make sure the games don't pick up movement from the stick while it's still. And I haven't even used the controller all that much. ETS2 doesn't show a numerical value for its deadzone, but I'd say it's close to 15-20% of the way up there as well.

It's been 16 years since I had ADR lessons in school and frankly I'm happy that I ended up in a different career that doesn't require me to renew those certificates every couple of years. If I feel like driving dynamite around ETS2 has me covered anyway, with far less hassle and danger to myself and everyone around me.

Pseudonut posted:I was driving cleanly without crashing from the UK to Graz when I peeked at my damage meter about halfway. The truck had 8% damage, and the cargo had 41%! Does anyone know what causes this, or how to prevent it? Is it rain damage or something? Some sort of bug when reloading a save? Usually this happens because an enemy car rams you from behind or the side. If the cargo is heavy you don't even feel or hear the impact, and because it's them ramming you and not the other way around you don't get a fine that would alert you to the collision. It often happens on highways when changing lanes, especially if you're not doing the sensible thing and driving at 150km/h, and a car either comes from behind and rams you at full speed, or you don't have enough distance to the car in the lane you're entering and hit it with the side/edge of the cargo (even when it IS your fault you don't always get fined). Cargo don't get wear damage like your truck does; it's always caused by impacts. AG3 fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Feb 22, 2015 |

I haven't experienced that (yet), but I don't use any mods so that might be why. Enemy cars ramming me, on the other hand...

It makes sense for Norway at least since we don't have any toll booths with barriers. Most of them (at least city ones) don't even accept money and are unmanned; if you don't have a Qfree/AutoPass (basically EZ Pass I assume) your plate gets photographed and the bill sent to you by mail. Understandably this means that a lot of tourists never end up paying the toll since it's complicated to charge money in a different country.

MyFaceBeHi posted:Another cool feature they are adding is geographically accurate sun positioning, so you get longer daylight hours in the north than in the south! There is a catch, however, in that it will gently caress up any weather mod you have so you will have to wait for that mod to update. I wonder if they'll add realistic seasons too then . Summers might have more sun here in the north than in central Europe, but in winter we get basically 4 hours of daylight, and most of that time we don't even see the sun itself due to cloud cover.

Granbar posted:Just got this game a few days ago. Really lovin' it! But I'm wondering. Sometimes I see signs for 100 km/h speed limits, but my GPS thingie still shows 80. Which should I abide to? 80 is the speed limit for trucks, which is why the GPS says 80. But speed cameras abide by the car speed limit, so they won't catch you even if you're above the truck speed limit (but at or below the car speed limit). In some areas of Great Britain the truck speed limit seems to be 97 km/h instead of 80.

I guess that depends on what you crash with. Against regular cars there's not really any greater risk to the driver since the difference in mass is so large in both cases. If the news here are anything to go by, truck drivers usually walk away from collisions with cars without much physical injury. Against another truck I think your internal organs would be equally hosed by Newton's first law regardless of truck design. AG3 fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Oct 8, 2015 |
