Out of curiosity I drove 47k km on one set of tyres. Surprisingly it was OK-ish on dry roads, as long as the cargo wasn't heavier than 25t. Hauling a log stacker from France to Norway (2000+ km) was a mistake though. 54t are not that comfortable with 4x2 chassis even if the truck is in perfect shape. On 80% worn tires it was a nightmare. I had no grip whatsoever. I racked up like 6k fines for crashes, either because I couldn't stop in time or hit the cars with the flatbed. Also, entire thing was on the edge of overturning, almost every corner ranged from intense to scary. To make things worse, it was an urgent delivery, and one stint was under rain. So I still had to do 86-87 kp/h on the straights to make up the time lost due to the lack of grip. That one haul was definitely one of the most intense experiences I've had in video games.

Hello, I just bought this game a week ago and I should explain I've never played anything like this before, but I'm also not much of a gamer at all really. But one thing I do a lot of is role play (calm down!). I basically bought this because it seemed like something I could use to relax after work and putting my kid to bed.

I've managed to buy a used Scania and started my haulage company. Now what I do to take jobs is use a random number generator to decide what city to take jobs in, and drive empty to that city.

The role play in universe reason for this is because there are so many established haulage companies out there who is realistically going to hire a fledgling one run by a guy with little experience. So my driver is sat in his hotel in Zurich desperately scouring the Internet for jobs that will take a chance on a new company. Hears a rumour about a job in Rotterdam, braves the trek, gets there and takes whatever is available. Damn, it's only chicken to Bremen, but whatever Rome wasn't built in a day after all.

So is this a dumb way to play? Or is it ok to embrace this you think? Are there other sadists in this subreddit too?

Also what an amazing community you guys are!

It is a speed camera detector. Is this cheating or am I in the "real" simulation?

Currently the only differences from real life counterpart was the dash line way thinner in the game (Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland & Austria). I noticed it because Italy is the only one that got it right. Secondly, some guardrails in Germany also uses older model compared to newer one from the latest patch. If anybody find the specific mods that I'm looking for, that'd be appreciated🙏🏻

hi, i have a problem with my g29 wheel.

Any way to get it working on Steam Machine with controller?
I have the Euro Truck Simulator II demo version and it keeps ignoring my controller whatever I do & choose.
