ETS2 Ultimate Do's and Don'ts Guide

[@SerbLawyer92]

1. Iveco Stralis - fair point cause it is very weak truck; 2. About chassis, I like 4x2 cause it is easier to maneuver and it has better fuel economy; 3. I agree for GPS, only 1 is more then enough. I even sometimes use signs instead of GPS and it is pretty much fun; 4. I personally, like many people here, like Promods and I think it is more then enough (I am also not fan of many map combos); 5. Tight roads I agree; 6. Rain also agree; 7. On gravel roads also agree, we need to be more careful, anything above 40km/h is bad; 8. I strongly disagree with not using car mods, sometimes it is nice and good to change to cars and experience driving around 120~130km/h. I have several garages with around 15 drivers and there is source of income. I personally use Skoda Superb mod which is maybe the best car mod (but the older one, new Skoda Superb mod is not so polished and finished); 9. I agree, changing trucks is good thing (even trying Iveco trucks xD).

Honestly man, i dont think its healthy for anyone to tell anyone else how to play a game. Just enjoy the game. Use mods if you want, or don't. It doesn't matter unless you've pirated the game or usually play multiplayer. If you think its fun to be either super realistic or you prefer to crash into everything you see, go for it. Don't let some guy on KZbin tell you otherwise.

The difference between baseline MAN is what, 20 horses; and DAF is 50. But, fully upgraded stralis has more power and same torque than any DAF. I'd say that it doesn't matter which truck you start with, you're gonna be limited anyway. >6x4 gives more power What.

The advice about driving in rain, gravel, and twisty roads should apply to real world driving too. As for not sticking with one type or brand of truck, that’s what the quick job set you do. Try all manner of trucks to see which one floats your boat. I eventually settled on the Scania S Super, 8x4/4 with steerable midlife axle, V8 with the 12+2 transmission. I can go anywhere and pull anything! The car and bus options are for fun, not income. I got a Mercedes X Class with turbo diesel, for exploring some challenging hidden roads. There’s one long one in Iceland the is impassable in anything but that kind of vehicle . Hint: look for viewpoint icons with no obvious road connection

To sum the video up, take the whole game as realistic as possible. Aside from the map mods and whatnot of course, choose what you want to do but this is a European truck simulator game. It is made to simulate a trucking experience, not, driving a car, stupid decisions, excessive speed etc. Do what you please with the game since you bought it but it’s meant for a trucking experience, ets2 and ats.

True bro

[@csongorpapp9807]

Ever since I've got the money, I used the Scania S, I just bought recently a Daf XG+ and its my new favorite truck. The interior is so clean, the mirrors and the dashboard is so modern I instantly fell in love. The only downside is that I'm stuck with the 4x2 chassis, the 6x2 isn't sexy and it allows only for a 600l fuel tank.

[@Hou679]

U recommend daf instead of Scania or Volvo ?

[@csongorpapp9807]

​@@Hou679 its a personal favorite, idk bout stats or which truck is the best. I love Scanias as they are, so i went with the Scania S (thats the best of them, bust also the most pricey), and i just liked the design of the Daf XG+, which is not the best i think, it has a 4x2 chassis only but its interior is awesome and gets the job done. But if you want to buy your first truck, i dont recommend you go above 120k euro, i personally went with a MAN untill i managed to become wealthy enough to buy the Scania S and the Daf XG+.

Nice selection

[@pepino-cosmico]

About the double GPS... Don't use a second one that has the same resolution / dimensions as the one in your truck radio display, as they provide the same information (it's not possible to have 2 different GPS zoom levels even if you have 2 separate displays). However, it is somewhat beneficial to have a second GPS if you install the vertical / cellphone one, as it has a different FOV, which may facilitate navigation in highways.

[@vutomy]

Very true

[@1nterzept661]

Some tips I would give 1. Always try your best to do skilled parking. You'll definitely need the extra XP. 2. Before doing a delivery, pull up the World Map, and plan your route, find faster routes to avoid getting late deliveries. 3. Rest before doing a delivery. I had to learn this the hard way. Keep in mind that deliveries in ETS are expected to arrive early, sleeping midway can often ruin your delivery run and cause you to be late. Rest up before taking deliveries.

[@NightRider-Norway]

Im sticking with Volvo and Scania. Also because i dont like any other truck brands

100% true. But you will accelerate and loose control and crash

[@vswilll4400]

@@vutomy you can, especially when braking. The 4x2 is ok for lighter cargo, when u attach heavy cargo you can really notice the difference between 4x2 and the longer ones. Also a very important factor for going as fast as you can is the gear ratio. The lower the better. For acceleration- 6 speed. For top speed-12 speed with the lowest last gear ratio. Also tyres are important. For top speed you need the biggest ones from the michelin tyres pack dlc.

I use a Stralis AS on the 4x2 config and if you know save editing, the thing is like a Honda Civic. Mine's got a 750 from a 2012 Globetrotter on a 6 speed from a MAN TGX. works great for light to mid loads

[@mescellaneous]

i think you went way too fast on the twisty road, and way too slow on the slow example... the fun is going at the max speed the curve can take, so depends on skill. if there is no oncoming car, take advantage of the whole road if you have to. if you can't see far, then don't. finding "the line" is fun. and i have also seen it one time a truck irl went just a bit over the line on a curve. that helps me as a car driver that i should also allow trucks to do that maneuver, so they can save some speed. if i also do that on the opposite direction, shouldnt really intersect either (not sure if im explaining it right though, i just mean that finding the right line is good for everyone).

When you hauling normale Caro is more then enough to do the job, it have more fuel, it burns less fuel 3. I agree 4. yes it's true in many ways but they are a few big maps or new maps that are very good and mostly bug free 5. well if you overspeed like that... trucks only make 90km/h and country roads have speed limits like 60km/h or 80km/h but even 80 is to much 70km/h is mostly perfect on normal country roads and curves. 6.

Sorry but I found this video a little pointless. First of all, truck choice is a matter of pleasure. I love driving Iveco Stralis or Renault Premium even they are modelled poorly (Because they are old), I love them. Secondly, chassis preference is depends on the purpose of truck. For standard cargoes, 4x2 is good because it has a great maneuverabilty, lower running costs. Yes, running cost is trivial but if you playing it as "Simulator", you should do some roleplay. But if you going to carry bulk load or heavy cargo, 6x4 and even 6x2 is may be a good choice. If you thinking about exceptional transport, 8x4 becomes a necessary one. Third, I don't make comment about this. Fourthly In another video, you recommended "Do big map combos" and now, you saying otherwise.

[@polarexpress6286]

But I drive fast during delivery but carefully even on tight road I drives over 100-110km/h and only if I know this route orelse maximum I keeps 90km/h and on highway my driving speed is around 130km/h and if its triple lane then my maximum speed of driving is 160km/h and my fastest delivery was 1799km in 30hours 2 minutes but one rule is that never ever overtake any vehicle from right side in Europe because this vehicle driver may be other truck or bus or car can betray us

[@vutomy]

I hear u

[@chaoswarriorbr]

Not going to do the same driving in sharper curves (lower radius) even IRL at the same speed as in dry conditions. Sand and oil also interfere IRL. The thing is it does seem a bit too slippery in ETS2 and ATS, as if we had the rain and some oil, probably to enforce the feeling of being slipping for immersion. To be fair you can get a bit of oil and a slippery mess IRL, just not always! Also FL doesn't have many curvy roads, specially not going up and down hill, where slippery conditions shows more. Try driving anything, including a big rig anywhere between PA and TN over the Appalachians.

Grades use letters, A would be better (not in any tire in base game) and E the worse. Elemental tire is the best for rain in the base game, while the Runner is the best for fuel economy.
