The inaccuracies of the volvo truck bothers me, I want to make a spergy post so they can fix all the things I've found wrong. The dash back lighting is not that colour!  (I am a volvo tech not a spotter heh)

Galaga Galaxian posted:As long as that GLOBETROTTER visor can be replaced. For some reason TRUCK OF THE YEAR 2013 on my Hi-Way doesn't bother me, but globetrotter does. It is like that on the real truck, and the new FH has it aswell. In real life it has lights behind it and sometimes companies put their name or whatever on it, which would be baller. EDIT: and its not even a visor, just a panel with lights behind it

Every volvo truck has the globetrotter sign, its not like every trucker has decided they want the same horrid thing.

SybilVimes posted:I'm not sure speed limiters are actually used that much in the real world anyway. Here in europe tachographs have been mandatory for ~30 years, and a speed limiter only really has downsides in comparision - although (analogue, anyway) tachographs can be tampered with easier. At least the tachograph system allows you to exceed the speed limits if it's necessary and then justify your behaviour afterwards. Trucks in the eu most definitely are limited. Anything over 7.5 t is limited to 90kph or 100kph for buses. The tachograph is to monitor driving hours but it will also record your speed, even recording overspeed if you go over 90 downhill etc. Also digital tachos can't be tampered with, and have been the standard on anything made after 2006. The speed is monitored on all tachos, recorded on a paper chart or digital drivers card, and acts as sort of a black box in case of an accident. /sperg warcake fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Dec 26, 2013 |

bald and fail II posted:You wont see any us trucks in any eu country due to length restrictions, that also goes for the surrounding non eu countries which they will travel through. Probably the only place youll see us trucks is in russia and even then not very many. Scania made a front engined truck, I took this pic last year at work. Don't see very many of them.  Edit: sorry for massive picture its hard to tell from my phone. warcake fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Jan 4, 2014 |

Hell, the trucks I work on only have brake pads every 200k km or so and an oil change every 100k. Its not uncommon for a 6 or 7 year old truck to have a million miles on it.

Rosoboronexport posted:Playing / watching Spintires I noticed something was badly missing from ETS2: exhaust smoke. There are some Youtube videos with sideskirt mods that enable it but I found no working links to them. Has anyone got a working version or are all the trucks really enviromentally aware? Yeah any euro truck made in the last 10 years won't smoke.

IAmTheRad posted:They have the (live action) Optimus Prime truck. Which is a little weird in itself because I assume they already have the licensing to use volvo trucks, and mack trucks are owned by volvo anyway?

I know nothing about licensing I will admit. I do know that if a truck isn't licensed and put into the game I won't use it. Im sure im not the only one.

Skinty McEdger posted:Right at the start of ETS2 there were literally 3 licensed trucks and a few copy cats. As the game becae more successful they were able to get expanded rights to different trucks to the point where the companies were actively contacting them about using their brand and trucks. It's more or less the same model here just without the copycat trucks announced. If I recall correctly one of the stumbling blocks with some companies were the copycats being in the game so starting off without them in might actually be to the advantage. Yeah I think there was even blog posts where the manufacturers let them come and see the trucks and record the engines noises, get interior shots etc.
