Another keybind option that good to know is Cruise Control Resume. With this option activated with a keybind, if you're driving at a certain speed and have to show down or stop all of a sudden, when speeding up again and the speed limit crosses 30 km/h or mph and you activate that keybind, the Cruise Control Resume will take you back up to the speed you had before slowing down.

[@rondini2]

Engine brake and retarder are two different systems. The retarder is fitted to the transmission output shaft. The engine brake, does not change any gears. It shuts of the fuel supply to some of the cylinders, turning a portion of the engine into a compressor. That is why the sound changes to varying degrees when the engine brake is activated. The higher the setting, the more cylinders that are being used to brake, 1, 2, or 3, in the case of a 6 cylinder engine. With a retarder, there is a flywheel of sorts fitted to the drive shaft, and an electro magnet is use to ‘push back’ on the shaft rotation. When using the retarder in ETS2. You will hear a whine as it is activated. The engine brake, is called a ‘Jake’ brake by most North American drivers. And it’s annoying when some jerk going by my house, on a flat road, things it’s cool to have it barking as he comes to the light!😡

[@elitepauper7400]

[@superbroche]

For the cruise control speed, I recommend using the mouse wheel instead of the page up and page down button, it's easier for the control and even better if you use your mouse for steering.

[@MilanTrucker]

Nice idea!

[@superbroche]

@@MilanTrucker you can even use the mouse 4 and mouse 5 for the blinkers

[@Dantek_22]

I also use keyboard and mouse while playing this and the most groundbreaking thing that i've discovered is that you can bind the gear up and gear down to the scroll on the mouse, it's like playing in a automatic but you have more control. And I put bind the indicators to the left and right mouse buttons because it's way more comfortable and I have more keys to bind to.

[@87Murdock]

I set mouse wheel to cruse speed adjust

[@ziobrik]

There's a menu function while in sequential mode which makes the box act as "smart" skipping gears particularly on empty starts and in downshifting

[@TaronTT]

2:03 *not on all trucks 5:24 keep in mind this also resets your avg fuel usage stat, so do NOT use if you'd like to see an all-time average.

[@TheSultan1470]

Interesting, the second one

[@Yakjzak]

I use a wheel to play and already use most of what you showed, and BTW, to be more realistic, you can just assign a button for electricity and then to start the truck, assign the same button button but in hold mode :]

[@nguyenloigamer7464]

That is all I need. Thanks, man. I just discovered some of them.

[@Fuhrer_51RUS]

I use literally ALL the features of the game. I managed to fit them all on the keyboard, dividing it into control zones. :D

[@davis2671]

I use Cruise control adjust all the time :) I've set it by 5km/h, that way you can easily slow or speed up when entering/leaving the city, construction site etc. If you have automatic retarder or engine brake allowed in the setting, it slows down with one of those option - for example in Quick jobs truck usually don't have retarder. When you ajust the speed down while having Cruise control on, it breaks with Engine brake automatically :-)

[@RacingPepe]

Thanks. I realize there are a lot of features bound to keys that I never use, and a lot of features I would like to use are not assigned to any keys. Really need to take my time for this menu.

[@furn2313]

7:13 It is possible to disable the automatic start of the engine when the accelerator pedal is pressed, so that the engine does not start without pressing the appropriate button. There are more and more functions and I already miss the keys on the keyboard.

[@wanlover477]

newbie here and problem is looking left and right, do i have to use the mouse as i don't always/often get it straight back in place so was hoping i could assign a couple of things on the steering wheel to do it, i have tinkered but with no joy..any ideas..thanks

[@jonathonpate8330]

If I recall correctly, I found an answer to this by playing ATS, there should be the ability to use the keys to switch between right and left in Keys & Buttons

[@iCepxno]

Yeah you can assign those views in the options to the dpad on the wheel, (⬅️Look left, ➡️Look right, ⬆️Zoom, ⬇️Reset center) for exaple, also I recommend you look for the mod "smooth interior camera" because by default the game jumps between views and personally I dont like it, the mod simulates the head turning. I have been playing with that configuration a lot of time and it works nice, maybe sometimes doing some maneuvers or turnings its hard to press the righ button on the Dpad to look, but 90% of the time works great, recently I bought a webcam and I'm using it to track my head movement, you can also do that, so there is no way to miss the button if you are doing turns and its faster to look both sides, its way more comfortable and inmersive.

I love that the gearbox with a shifter works very great with my TH8A. You take it out of gear while pressing the clutch and it is in neutral.

If you have the th8a shifter bind the splitters to some buttons and shift it in H pattern the game because harder and more realistic, also just makes it more fun. Just search a shifter setup video. I did this years ago on ats and now i find the game boring in auto or sequental

G'day Milan, Thanks for the videos, yeah these features are really useful, looking through the Key Settings there are some great features that are not active standard. I play using a Logitech Momo Wheel that I got for $0.99AUD a few years ago, for all players that haven't got one I would recommend keeping an eye out for a used wheel set at a reasonable price as it is so much better than just Keyboard + Mouse & even Game Controller
