[@Silenthunter199]

I am still missing that trucks are way too easy to use. I wish that there would be payware models which are more realistcally modelled (like in MSFS or P3D). I mean study level truck simulating real weights, real forces, all subsystems, driving assistance, dashboard computer, independent tanking of ad blue and diesel oil or even more realistic tachograph simulation. Even the simulation of air conditioning, like in OMSI. I hope some day we will see DLC/payware mod with that kind of detailed truck hopefully.

[@alpha2project]

Yes, that would be amazing. Unfortunately I don't see this ever happening in this game, the game engine just doesn't support that kind of simulation.

Good that you mentioned OMSI! In reality ETS2 is really just a game with the simulator name stamped on it, I wish they would invest some time in 1:1 maps, and as you mentioned everything from the details yourself, the immersion isn't really there yet to me, it seems like an arcade with whatever mods there may be now. Hopefully we'll see some realistic truck simulator somewhere in the future.

I did recently try out that graphics mod but I wasnt a great fan of it. I have been using Project Next Gen for quite some time now and there will soon be a new 1.08 update in may which looks great. Arguably i know some hate paying for mods but it genuinely is worth paying for and updates are regular. A 1.47 compatability patch was released for it the same day as the ets2 update. Promods is also a great edition to those who havent used it yet. Although we are waiting for the 1.47 patch, they always take a while to update. Happy to help anyone out if they need directions to either

[@wanlover477]

i'm not sure when i stop being a newbie but im on my third start of the game and on level 26 yet know nothing ...i had a go with a few mods but when i took them off as not working or how i would like it restarted the game from the time i first installed them..or i said ok to the wrong thing when that list comes up after you take them off....problem 2 is possibly an age thing but i suffer quite quick with eye strain and its having to turn my head to check the speed and route guide non stop, especially the speed as some places it drops from 50 to 31 before you have time to moan at the fine you just got...i'm sure i watched a video of someone driving a daf where there was a digital speed readout on the dashboard..was i right ? if so how do i get it... can i move the route guide centre too... where do i buy extra lights for top of truck and also front side as turning right or left when its dark at entry to roads or roundabouts that are not lit i have no idea whats there...when i first started i got a volvo and updated it to the hilt engine and chassis wise and i got 250000 jobs, i decided time to be a man lol and use my gear stick instead of easy auto so i assumed i needed to change engine to a 6 speed as no way can i be doing that changing to eg 7 when you click something and go into 1.. and from that point i no longer saw any 250000 jobs is that because 12 speeds trucks are more powerful and 6 speed are not enough ?... sorry for many questions but you did say you was happy...

[@alpha2project]

There's a lot to unpack here, but I'll do my best, happy to help you out :) If you have any more questions, might be easier to talk on discord, if you have one - if not that's okay. 1. No mods reset the game fully. Some mods reset you back to your original garage, that's a technical thing as the game content changed. In the newest 1.47 update, I believe you can choose which city you want to be teleported to. 2. Most trucks have digital speed readouts on the dashboard, but not all. You can press " i " on your keyboard to cycle through different dashboard pages in a truck, most have a page for speed and a page for cruise control. I found this mod to move the route advisor(forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=234726) it should work on 1.47 version, but I have not tried it. 3. Extra lights can be bought from "Service" stations (look for the red wrench icon on your map), or if you look at your trucks in the game menu, you can customize them there, just not the one you're currently driving. As for side lights, I don't know of any. It can be a problem at night, but you'll just have to manage somehow. 4. The truck configuration should not change the jobs you can take. If it's a under powered truck, you might get a warning, but you can still take the job. The available jobs change all the time and it can depend on where you are on the map. If you don't have any jobs you'd like to take, you can just advance the time and some might become available. Most new trucks in real life have a automatic gearbox anyways, so using that is pretty realistic :)

I don't want to give the wrong impression with the video, you see tuned trucks on the road quite regularly, but they are still a lot more rare than these basic trucks. Mostly smaller companies with a few trucks. If you're working at a regular, relatively big transport company, you're more likely to drive something like this, rather than a pimped out truck.

Hi there, don't want to be a picky person but as you pointed out the "realistic" part, I just want to let you know that there are some things that make the idea not so realistic. The most important part being the engine chosen on the truck. As you are trying to simulate what we can see in real life, I need to let you know that a 370 engine would be a horrible idea and there is almost no way to find something like this in southern Spain, this is due to the amount of hills there are, and not only that, but also, usually, the journeys are to western-central-northern Europe, so there are even more big mountains in there. Take in mind that one of the most common cargoes in there are vegetables, and you usually load around 20 tons or so. With a 370 engine, the relation between power needed and consumption would be terrible, and a company wouldn't want that. One of the most common trucks I've seen when I've been there is the Volvo FH4 with 500hp, obviously the D13, no the D16 (I don't remember if there is even an "only" 500hp D16 engine) Another thing would be about choosing the G model instead of the R, which is far more common as, most of the time, as I said, journeys are from southern Spain to other countries, a G model is not meant for long journeys like that Last but no least, this is more a "request" than anything, but using a dpd trailer..., I would have found more interesting another company, maybe a Spanish one to get into that Spanish trucker role-play ;) Obviously all of this is not a big deal, because yes, a truck like that would be difficult to see, but I'm pretty sure at least 1 exits, so, it's realistic at the very least hehe. Other from that, I like the video idea, the journey was done right, nice driving, I got a bit dizzy with the camera movements, but it might be because I'm used to my settings. Nice video, keep it going

[@alpha2project]

Thank you for the feedback, this is exactly what I needed :) The idea was that some bigger companies, at least here in the baltics, often configure the trucks with the bare minimum and they are often underpowered. For example, there are often 4x2 trucks sent to Scandinavia, which in winter is absolutely horrible. I probably should have done some more research & thinking before doing the video, but I will for the next time :)
