TRAVERSING DOVER & MY FIRST ACCIDENT - SURVIVAL TRUCKING | DAY 2

I would recommend JazzyCat's traffic mods, makes the traffic a lot more diverse and realistic. He's got loads of combinations too. Glad you implemented the Hemil route advisor and that's a neat trick on the console, didn't know about that! But what I will say is to use the DP's realistic traffic mod on the workshop for timings etc. Eg it's quite quiet at night and really busy at rush hour in the morning. Keep it up and stay safe!

[@LodewijkVrije]

the in game traffic density console option makes mods that increase traffic obsolete and has done for quite some time. only mods that really make a difference now is AI behavior mods. also he did the traffic setting wrong. anything above x4 traffic gets ignored. and on my pc i go from 90 fps to about 50 with 4x traffic. there is no way he has done it correctly.

[@Arthur-jx8bm]

@@LodewijkVrije No it doesn't. As far as I am aware the console command doesn't take into account the time of day etc

[@LodewijkVrije]

@@Arthur-jx8bm since they added the traffic density thing to the console. and updated the console thing. the game does that itself. granted there are mods that do it better. but those then tend to break other things. especially with Promods in my experience. all the traffic mods now state that you can not use it with the Traffic density setting in game. it has to be set to x1. but x4 traffic puts more traffic on the road then any AI traffic mod i know off. like i said you will want to get an AI behaviour mod (for more realistic rush hour even though the game makes an attempt at it itself) and merging behaviours. then you want a mod that at least doubles the traffic light duration and combine it with the in game console traffic density option. you'll get far better results and it wont break map mods. the mods what they did is the same as the in game traffic density setting. they find the spawnpoint for cars between 6AM and 12PM and if that particular spawn was normally set to spawn 100 cars between those in game hours. then the mods would change it to a higher number. that is what the in game setting does too. it would make a spawn point that normally spawns 100 cars in 6 hours at x1, spawn 400 cars in that same time frame at x4. the game always had a sort of simulation of traffic density depending on time. if you are driving at 3AM you see way less cars then 7AM peak rush hour. even on 1x settings. the 4x setting just spawns 4 times more cars in all those cases. so you would see 4 times more cars then normal at 3AM yes, but you would also see 4 times more cars then normal at 7AM.

[@neiljukes447]

Arthur Culshaw definitely

[@andy279]

Agreed. That mod makes time of day more realistic. My roads are packed in comparison to the base game now. I also added his motorbike pack and someone else’s classic car pack so there is real variety in the traffic now. The only thing that would make it better for me now is better AI behaviours so they don’t all stop on the motorway to let vehicles on or always yield to me in places they shouldn’t.

Daggerwin, I think you should at least turn on the headlight in the parking position as it lights up the dashboard because it's a bit too dark like this. I know dipped beam is not necessary in the UK but you should have the position lights for better dashboard overview.

[@BrayBoi2k14]

You should look at “real company mod” and some cargo packs for more diverse cargo. Keep it up gonna be a great series.

[@frederickbunting1801]

It would be really cool if you use the console walk around(ish) feature to walk around. You could also use it before the job (Roleplay that you are going to the desk to grab the papers needed) and the same for when you finish a job (Roleplay that you giving the papers back.) I am really enjoying the series so far! Keep it up!!! And with regards to the crash, the Local was definitely to blame. He was in the wrong lane to go right.

[@SteveJ0966]

I'm with you mate, that truck was totally in the wrong lane, and I'm not just saying that because I was involved in an almost identical incident many years ago on the A6/A42 roundabout near Leicester. I was in a Vauxhall Corsa not a truck, but there was an artic in the outside lane who decided he was turning right, cut in front of me and creased my bonnet a fair bit without even noticing. Shook me up I can tell you. Incidentally I can recommend the ProMods trailer and company pack as an alternative to SiSL's as it replaces the companies you work for as well, plus the ProMods Middle East map extension if you fancy a trip over to Jerusalem at some point in the future.

[@TheFreddy99000]

if your going for more of the realism side for uk trucking you may want to look at S.A.F.E.D. (safe and fuel efficient driving) mainly letting off the throttle much eariler and not breaking as hard and trying to keep the truck moving as much as possible. It does take pratice but can be done on ets2. This is why some uk trucks will keep crawling towards red lights only stopping if they have too.

[@patbruzzese3013]

Not gonna lie Daggerwin but watching you for years, but the survival series have really erupted this Chanel in a very good way, love your work from here in Australia!! ❤️🚜

[@robbleeker4777]

An other TIP that might come in handy. I assume that not everyone is aware of this one. I recently discovered the options for the NumPAd on your keyboard. This NumPad, will allow you to use the camera in the game. I mapped NumPad 7, 5, and 9 on my (G-29) steering wheel. This may come in handy for those who do not have an Track IR, like me. These NumPad keys do some how compensate a little bit for this. Numpad 7 = Looks to your Left hand mirror. I mapped the + NumPad 5 = Centers your view. ( I get back to this later) I mapped the - NumPad 9 = Looks to your Right hand mirror. I mapped the round Enter button. Now, you need to know that you can use this in combination with "F4", press F4 and you get a whole new set of settings. For example, your mirrors, your seat height and distance to your dashboard. There is also an option where you can turn your head, from left to right, and up and down. I have set it in such way that I always have a good view into my Left hand mirror but not that far that it hinders my view straight ahead. You can also activate the "Steering Camera Rotation", but this takes some getting used to, because your camera moves with your steering wheel. I like to use these buttons when I pass an other vehicle on the highway. After I passed, I press the - to see if I am clear of the vehicle I just passed. Press + to center my view again and change lanes. I often use it when I go around a corner to see if my trailer is not hitting anything. It is also handy to see where you are going, from a traffic light for example. I just do not have to reach over every time to use the mouse. I like to ad that this is also very handy, particularly when you make use of a shifter.

[@WombatDakk]

G'day mate, just a quick couple of notes for the realism side of things. If you want absolute maximum realism/difficulty check out the economy overhaul mods on steam. Secondly, it's been stated on the forums by the developers that the sliders for stability and cabin suspension allllll the way to the left is "realistic". So if you want to have the truck behave as realistic as possible do that, or add in a physics mod, some are amazing. Finally, along with the economy overhaul there are mods for traffic density and behaviour and real gas prices to go along with the overhaul. Steam workshop has some very good ones. Looking forward to seeing the series develop, and hope you enjoy it, more important than like ratio imo.

Crash 1: It was both of you at fault because you were in the wrong lane and so was he. Crash 2: It was their fault because they pulled out just after you had gone past which was why your truck gained damage on the trailer. Crash 3: It was their fault because he switched into the other lane and then cut straight back into the lane you were in causing damage to your truck. Hope this helped daggerwin thanks for the vid and I appreciate what you do for KZbin ‘keep calm and carry on’ is what they say.

[@craig3007]

Hi Daggerwin. Liking the new survival trucking episode. Just a heads up for you. There is a setting in GAMEPLAY called "Truck Speed Limit". Tick the box and it apply's the truck speed to 56mph so you don't go over the speed. (unless your doing down hill) LOL.

[@ThatGreatCdnGamer]

[@bazinga8618]

Map your cruse control buttons it’s so much easier to switch it back on to the speed you were previously doing. If you go from one 56mph road onto another you can hit resume and it will get to that speed by itself. I do it all the time in my car

[@teebodk3917]

Love this series! I've played quite a lot myself, starting over 2-3 times and yeah, progress is super slow, but that's part of the charm, much like your FS survival roleplay series. It takes a lot of work, but feels som much sweeter when you can finally afford that new piece of equipment. In real life, you probably wouldn't be buying a brand new truck as your first, since it would take so much longer to save up, so if there's a used truck mod, I think that would be an excellent one to install, along with some older truck mods like Scania Series IV, R-Series 5, Volvo FH1 and FH2 and maybe Mercedes-Benz SK and Actros 1. Start with an old, used truck with reasonable hp. For new trucks Iveco are by far the cheapest and would be a good option for first non-used fleet purchase... can later be handed over to your first hired driver. In my latest game, I saved up just over 50% of the price for a min-spec Iveco then took out a loan for the rest. I think this would be fairly realistic, since the loan can then be very small and the rates affordable. Of course, this would also mean that extreme attention must be paid when taking jobs, since the truck is not very powerful... to put it mildly. Gravel pits are an absolute no-no! One of the things I love most about the game is the fantastic scenery, so I like to experiment with weather and scenery-detail mods, so 3rd person views are very welcome. I'm currently trying to decide, whether I should install Pro-Mods again, so I'm using your series for inspiration.

[@carveorpawley4406]

I liked the motorway time-lapses. It looked like the truck in crash 1 was trying to change lanes but you kept stopping them. Crash 2&3 not your fault. And you can do 60 on a dual carriageway it's just most limiters kick in at 57. Didn't pay attention to what you were doing but it's 40 mph on a single carriageway. Not that most drivers stick to it thankfully. keep up the good work this and your no man's land survival are my favorites.

Dag, instead of using the mouse to look around you could assign your steering d-pad keys to look left and right and you can assign another key on your steering to "Interior view" (by default that is the '1' key on keyboard) so it resets the camera after you have looked around. this way you dont have to take yours hands off the wheel

[@lorenzopappatico]

I would like to make a suggestion: since you still don't own a truck, thus not having to worry about fuel expenses, I'd recommend taking the best paying job, rather than higher-price-per-distance ones, as you get more income without losses, especially now that you can't yet take long-distance jobs.

[@singy209uk1]

Think your settings are fine and agree with the timelapse suggestion's. The first crash... You are right in that the truck was in the wrong lane but he/she was indicating to go that way. A shunt from the rear in my own experience usually looks more bad on the driver hitting you from the rear but just an opinion. The main second crash..... the other drivers an idiot!

UK HGV speed limit is 60mph but we are limited to 56mph by EU directive. As for the first accident, the other HGV was at fault, you were in the right lane for taking the 2nd lane of the exit. The 2nd they blatantly drove into you lol

[@safariman72]

The accident, from 13m the other truck was indicating right giving you plenty of notice to back off and allow for his trailer to possibly cut the edge of the lane. As you would have needed to be skirting the centre line to stop your trailer cutting the corner, this would have been the better choice. You can go around the outside lane on a roundabout if circumstances dictate. Highway Code rule 187 - In all cases watch out for and give plenty of room to - long vehicles (including those towing trailers). These might have to take a different course or straddle lanes either approaching or on the roundabout because of their length. Watch out for their signals. Sorry Daggerwin, Driver error(yours).

[@sarahohara5806]

40:34 Yeah, I go through phases with this game. My favorite way to play it is with AI traffic on because it's more chill and realistic. But things like that happen, where the traffic just veers into you or rams you as you're taking a turn, or cuts you off with not enough time to brake down to their speed. AI traffic also has this habit of wildly switching between lanes right after entering a highway, sometimes with no regard if you're there or not. So after about ten hours of playing with traffic on I usually switch to online for a bit. Though the deserted roads and the occasional trolls or people perma-broadcasting music on a crackling mic tend to make me crave for single player very quickly again. And the cycle restarts.

[@nobonux9843]

I've been enjoying this series. Can't wait to see what's in the future. I think you should be allowed to use third-person camera while dropping off a trailer but only when you're stationary. An occasional night drive would also be nice.

Map your window roll up and down keys so your not head-butting the window when looking out behind you. Also you can map a key for integrated sat nav zoom

36:55 I recently indicated on a highway that was bending left. I looked the fool.

Trafic rules Belgium: In Belgium truckers can only overtake if it's not dark, rany or foggy, else they always have to drive in the most right lane. I think this is also true in more European countries, but I'm not very sure. You can also drive max 90km/h, about 54mph.

Daggerwin you should explore more cities on your way to unlock more truck dealers. Also love the video!

[@johngustafsson5324]

i would really recomend a mod called Tuned Trucks in Traffic Pack by Trafficmaniac. Makes some of the ai trucks have exterior accesories and more realistic in my opinion

Steering wheel noise doesn’t worry me bud In Australia if your in the outside lane in the roundabout u have to drive straight though u can’t go right on the out side But the inside lane can go straight or go right

[@peterdejaegher7642]

Yey, you passed the exit I have to take everyday when coming from work. Not really realistic, though...

Great vid daggerwin

@13:30 he was in the wrong lane for going right. You should have gone into the right-hand lane on the slip road unless the road says otherwise. Treat roundabouts like crossroads with filter lanes; if you want to turn right, you move to the right. If you want to go straight on, or left, stay on the left. Again, you follow these basic rules unless the road markings or signage say different. Regarding the other truck though; he should have exited not continued around; he was at fault because you are entitled to exit into lane 2 from where you were.

Can I suggest maybe lowering the braking intensity a bit to make braking less jumpy and generally smoother. I have the slider about a third of the way away from the left as this seems to make braking smoother but still allows you to stop fairly quickly if you need to. Edit: Just wanted to say that I’m really enjoying the series so far, keep up the great work.

I really like the steering wheel sounds it makes it sound realistic

Hello Dag, and community. So I've been watching your videos for a number of months now, catching up on many that I had missed. Noticed your new series and wanted to offer if your interested some insight to the trucking world. I would be happy to answer any specific questions you have about the reality of trucking that I can answer. I am a 16 year veteran driver CDL-A owner operator who just bought my first truck and trailer last year. I am in the states but can give some insight into how I live and manage my buisness as a single truck owner company. Feel free to contact me if you can, or i can also provide you a direct email of FB connection. Love what you do, you help keep me entertained during my down time. Thanks so much!
