I've been looking at getting one of the extended mapsets for a while. Does TSM work fine or have any quirks or bugs I should be aware of before using it?

The mountain range in Tunsia is just ridiculous, I've never managed to make the descent without doing major amounts of damage to any load I was carrying, even with using a retarder.

I don't even hate the Renault for its engine, it's the horrible interior that gets me. And then I realise I have opinions about virtual truck interiors and start to wonder about my life choices to this point.

Struggling with the handling on 1.9, having gone from maybe losing control once every 5 trips, to a couple of times each delivery. So while the enemy cars are less of a problem now, I've become more dangerous than they ever were.

I have no idea. I just switched back to the last beta, and the handling on the same truck feels completely different, and I cannot for the life of me tell whats changed.

I can't seem to see a definitive answer on this anywhere - is it possible / advised to install all the jazzycat packs at the same time, or are there conflicts?

I have all of them installed with no conflicts. The only one that causes problems is the rail trailers with TSM for some reason that I don't know (but it works with promods.

Its that point when you realise you know the most likely route you're going to have to take for your run without even glancing at the map, or when you know with dread that this trip will force you to take a right turn on that stupid T-junction in the tunnel in France.

Is anyone else having any issues with any of the stations? Whenever I try and listen to my old standby of Real Radio Yorkshire, it just buffers and buffers, then eventually tries a different station.

For whatever reason ever since two patches ago all of the stations except for the French information station are just buffering for me. I can't explain it.

unlike TSM effort has been put into the cities rather than just copy/paste existing cities, including putting random monuments and unique buildings in the cities.

You keep saying this, and I appreciate that in earlier versions this was the case, but for a decent amount of time now TSM's cities have been improved and made more indidual with their own monuments, unique buildings and set pieces.

Scania Truck Driving Sim is okay. It's not like ETS2 more built around learning to drive a truck and a series of challenges. Some of the challenges are pretty challenging and there is a satisfaction in pulling them off. It is what it is, and it's solid enough, but its barebones compared to ETS2.

There was a mod that had such high horsepower it actually broke the physics engine and sent you into orbit as soon as you gathered enough speed. I think I still have it in the 30 or 40 gigs worth of mods I have for the game, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't even load with the updated engine.

Sleep or quick travel are your only real options.

Technically if you really want to cheese it just save before you sleep, then reload it if you don't get anything you want come through.

I just disabled everything and I still have no jobs showing up.

You'll either need to go back to an earlier save or do this:

quote:

To force explicit reset:
Open per-profile the config.cfg and set g_force_economy_reset to 1
Start the game and load the profile. This should show message that the economy was reset. The jobs should be now available.
Exit the game and set g_force_economy_reset back to 0.
Start the game and load the profile.

Apparently the problems all tied into the Christmas event. Hopefully when 1.16 the cargo mods will start working again.

I am counting down the time until my working day is over and I can get down to the serious business of driving a pretend truck for 4 hours to try and finish the challenge.

I think the big reason journeys in TSM seem shorter than in Promods is down to most long journeys involving at least one Ferry Trip which breaks up the journey. Also TSM does odd things with time compression in certain places, North Africa seems to fly past in a way that Greece doesn't.

Promods are working with SCS, so when Scandinavia is up in theory it should work fine.

Of course then they'll release a slight physics patch and everything will be hosed again.

Word of warning, a lot of the current map mods are now dependent on having the expansions installed, and the older ones don't necessarily work with the latest version of the game. Honestly the vanilla map is pretty solid for when you start out.
