I don't have a steering wheel or gamepad or anything, so I just got used to tapping the keyboard for steering. You get used to it after awhile and can make almost any turn safely unless you space out or something. If you have the money, definitely get a gamepad to use though.

TSM is probably the most popular since it adds a ton of new areas from Spain and Portugal to Greece and even some stops on Africa like Egypt, Libya, and Tunis. http://ets2.lt/en/tsm-map-version-4-x/ You will also probably need the mapzoom fix so you can see the whole map which they don't include by default for some reason.

I played using keyboard to steer and mouse to look around for a while. It's not bad but it's fiddly and distracting the way that trying to steer with a keyboard always is, trying to measure out just how many times to tap how frequently for how long in order to steer. It became much more relaxing when I switched over to using my 360 pad and my TrackIR.

Why would you use the mouse to steer? I'll never be able to understand that.  Sure it allows smoother movement than the keyboard but it seems really awkward.

Since we're discussing controls, does anyone know of any wheels + pedals that won't break the bank? I will probably use them for ETS2 exclusively so i don't want to shell out too much.

Well, if you get TSM there's also a mod called JPM that works well with it. It tunes some stuff to make the game more fun.

In that file you will find an entry for truck damage and trailer damage. Set them to zero to become the fist of an angry god.

Is it also possible to change the weight of the enemy cars, trucks and buses so you can punch through a long queue without slowing down scattering them like leaves before a storm?

Is the one in the OP good for the current update? I liked the old one a lot. I also want a trailer pack so I can haul tanks and poo poo.

There I am, driving a big concrete ...something down the autobahn from Stutgard to En..something. I'm listening to my french talk radio having a pleasant drive. It starts raining; so I, reasonably, turn on my wiper and lights. Well, fast forward 5 or 10 minutes and I'm coming up on my turn, the little truck computer thing bonks me for 400 euro for a headlight infraction. I'm so surprised by this I blow my turn and crash my truck, doing like 9 grand in damage. This subsequently makes me late for my delivery getting me dinked 1,000 euro for late delivery penalty. Basically having my headlights on in the rain wound up costing me loving 10 grand. This could be the best game ever.

Don't you have to hit the lights button twice for actual headlights, not just the positional lights?

Yeah, if you hit the lights only once, you're just bringing up your running lights. Hit it again to actually turn on "headlights." Running lights don't count, apparently.

Well that's some bullshit. Still awesome though. I could be about to default on my loans though, I hired two employees, got them brand new Volvos to drive. One does about 2 grand a day profits, the other does like 300 bucks. I think he's on the marijuana and just fucks around all day. I checked his skills, hes got 1's in all the base skills minus economy and I've got his training focused on the Hazmat certs. If that fucker doesn't get his act together I'm laying his rear end off, I don't give a poo poo if his kid needs an operation - you pull your weight or you get let go! edit: Also discovered I can link my World of Trucks profile to my in-game so now I have bitchin' vanity plates.

Looks like another new truck will be in 1.8, although it doesnt realy look that much different from the current scania. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k03gQaBlqxc 1.8 isnt out yet right?

According to the video you linked (last few minutes) 1.8 will be this week. Unfortunately the improved physics and AI won't be in this update, which was actually what I was looking forward to. Oh well, at least the new truck is alright I guess.

bald and fail II posted:1.8 isnt out yet right? Not yet. The coding team is still working on the AI improvements from what I understand, so the modeling team is going nuts with new trucks while they wait. So new Scania in 1.8, and the DAF will most likely be in 1.9 unless they get it done before 1.8 goes out the door. EDIT: Sorry was skipping through the video and missed that part about the delays on AI and Physics.

I'm level 12, got 4 points in long distance and 1-2 in rest (except eco driving). What should I increase next? Eco driving sounds tempting, since 700 bhp Volvo flying at 130 kph burns around 1 liter of diesel per kilometer travelled.

ADR is good because those jobs s are usually good for making money, but I like high value, too. Eco driving is pretty useless, you're not going to be saving much, really.

Sorry if this has been asked before but, what are the go-to mods for this game? I've seen recommendations for mods elsewhere but apparently they don't work on newer patched versions of the game.

I got into iRacing with a bunch of friends a few years ago and we all picked these up. It's served me really well for a huge variety of driving games. Only complaint is the lack of a clutch pedal, but that's not super relevant for ETS2.

Yeah I didnt watch the whole video, a bit dissapointing we wont get the ai and physics though. But its pretty cool they are still making new content for free. Honestly its stuff like this that makes me want to support a company and buy dlc, unlike certain other companies that just expect people to spunk money on day one dlc and season passes.
