    I started playing this yesterday evening and it's strangely addictive. A descent wheel makes a big difference. I've even started using the sequential gear shifters as indicators. Thanks for the heads up Tea!!

    what steering wheel do you have?

    I have the G27. It's a good wheel for the price. You'd be looking at 1000+ for something better.

    What a fantastic thread


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,644 ✭✭✭Asmodean


    I'm so glad to see all the closet ETS players coming out of the woodwork! :D Been playing this for a while now too. Damn relaxing I must say. I love throwing on my weekly podcasts and trucking along with this. It's so much better than I thought it would be. I'd love a steering wheel for it too.

    Was just having a look on amazon,does the chair come with it too?

    No chair with it I'm afraid. It's just the wheel, pedals, and shifter.

    I have 2 drivers now and they are utterly useless i as a driver made an average of 21,000 a day they have made 230 each well worth the 205,000 euro in trucks there ;/


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭Tea_Bag


    they get better, but not much it seems. i hit level 10 there. got 2 drivers @ class 2.5. 1 brings in just under 1k a day, and the other €580 :confused:

    im making enough to pay off my loan installments, but its going to take a while. im going to put all my skill points into expensive cargo and long haul, cause i heard of a guy making 65k a trip with that :/

    either way, at the moment it looks like hiring drivers is a waste of time. they earn way too little to pay for their trucks/garage upgrades in a reasonable timeframe.


  • Registered Users Posts: 881 ✭✭✭Bloodwing


    I keep getting E-mails from the bank offering me loans but so far I've resisted. If I stopped getting done for speeding at least 3 times per job I might be able to afford the repayments.

    I'm getting about €8000 per job now so I'll stick with that for a bit.

    Did you try out any of the mods Tea? I'm tempted to try the physics mod.

    iv the physics mod installed its definatly more truck like now with the cab bouceing about and gear ratios slightly changed


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭Tea_Bag


    yea they're great. the removed speed limiter is also a huge bonus. 140kph makes the jobs far faster. I love the trailer skin too. nothing like hauling a DHL trailer. just installed a petrol station skin that makes them real ones now, like Shell, BP, Texaco etc, but don't have time to test til tomorrow.

    its the little things :-)

    And I STILL can't tell if this is a joke thread or not!

    its not still a good game even a few days later

    So for those looking in on this thread and thinking "wait, what??", could anyone explain the pluses of this game? I presume you have to be into management games in the first instance to enjoy this, but what's the appeal here?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭Tea_Bag


    its just really relaxing and enjoyable. I dunno. honestly though, try the demo. it appears that the management side of things doesn't add much value to the game in that your hired drivers don't make much money, so you could probably leave that part out all together.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    This is slowly becoming a sleeper hit.... Will there be a zombie mod?


  • Registered Users Posts: 881 ✭✭✭Bloodwing


    To be honest I can't figure out why I'm enjoying the game so much, all I know is someone in Glasgow is waiting on a load of hot chemicals so I don't have the time to be hanging around here answering questions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,993 ✭✭✭Wossack


    would look into this, but Im currently addicted to farming simulator 2013




    (not joking :o)


  • Registered Users Posts: 260 ✭✭Stingerbar

    I like the way they removed the camera glare but falling damage is outrageously imbalanced in my opinion.

    saw this on another forum:

    It's quite relaxing to play but very easy to fùck up if you lapse concentration. Yesterday I was nearly finished a long ass haul when I almost flipped the truck at the last bend.

    Managed to keep it on one side for a couple of seconds and put it back down. Felt like Timothy Dalton, then :pac:

    I've yet to buy a truck and set up my own business but it's things like that which give you a goal to aim towards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark


    wonder if the extra axle on the trucks open up more load options ?

    are you talking about the 6x2? I don't think it adds anything other than looks, and the turning circle is a little worse.
