    There's nice little touches too.. like I missed the exit on one of the runs last night but rather than hitting an invisible wall or something you just continue on to the next one and double back.

    I was waiting ages getting out of the truckyard with a trailer full of forklifts, and low and behold a break in the line of traffic appears, and one of the cars flash me to let me pull out - very nice little touches indeed :cool:

    Don't think so. I'm still on level 11. Still haven't seen most places. Think I'm gonna order a wheel and pedals anyway. Won't be the g27 though. Maybe one day cause I really enjoy racing sims.

    Oh wow. I employed people straight away. They don't really make you much money at the start but they level up just like you do over time so once they have their licences for chemicals, explosives etc. They make more. Bad thing is I'm probably getting ripped off paying the loans back. From now on I might just save up instead.

    I glanced into the thread expecting to see a game I'd never heard of being made fun of but I have to say the thread has been both funny and lovely to read. I'm not a big sim player but the game seems to be held with a certain amount of fascination and warmth, so much so that it's promoted me to go off and download the demo.

    Hopefully I find it as much fun as you lot.

    It's a funny old sim. It sounds like it should be boring but I've found it relaxing and hard work. Keeping the truck in lane while turning at speed is surprisingly difficult. There's so much going on with keeping to the speed limit, indicating, staying in lane and watching out for approaching cars that I'm kept busy and haven't been able to enjoy the scenery. The detail is really nice, foreign radio, wipers, indicators, being fined for not having lights on etc.

    Reversing is really difficult, I've only managed to get the trailer in place just once and at that, it was badly done. I'm playing with an XBox 360 controller so control isn't ideal but I can't see myself forking out for a wheel for one game.

    I'm not sure what the longevity of the sim will be like as so far it's repetitive but not in a boring way, I still haven't earned enough to buy my own truck yet. All in all, I think the best thing I can say is that it's very charming and kind of novel. You know you're onto something good when the missus sits down to have a go and walks away smiling.

    I downloaded the demo after seeing this thread! it is good but im finding it nearly impossible to keep the truck in a straight line, its way too easy to over correct it, so it looks like im drunk weaving all over the road!
    i assume this isnt a problem when using a wheel:confused:

    I'm not using the wheel and I have no problem with it, it just takes a while. I'm also much better at parking now and never use the autopark anymore.

    Are you using the mouse to steer or the keyboard?

    A wheel would be better but as I'm playing with a controller I had some issues too. First off, some trucks seem to be just pigs, I had a hard time controlling a Valiant. Secondly, there are quite a few adjustments you can make if using a controller that affect the sensitivity. I think there was at least 3 settings and adjusting those made a fair difference, so have a look at those if you haven't done so already.

    Im just using the keyboard, no mouse, it may just take a bit of gettting used too i suppose, i have caused some hilarious accidents though, such as me looking at the lightening while my truck headed for the central reservation:o ,

    but it seems to be a good game!
