Get the fragile cargo perks after all the ADR ones, they seem to get me a bit more money

Sponge · November 2, 2012

I went for all the ADR and the High Value cargo. I think I'll do the fragile ones next, but I do have a habit of 'drifting' my truck around places, so I may need to calm down with the fragile loads.

Ryzza5 · November 2, 2012

I've done all the ADR's and about one or two for everything else, but I don't really check what I'm towing most of the time

Finally managed to buy my own truck. A Valliant FH16 with the 750BHP engine and a load of spotlights on it. She's a beast.

Now I've only got $1,700 :(

Got caught out by the dodgy AI, head on collision resulting in around £40k of damage :( Overdraft came into effect :(

I've started doing regular services instead of just waiting for the thing to fall apart first. This game of making enough to cover expenses just got srs. Last one was $16k, because I tapped a guardrail by almost missing the turnoff and going through the ramp too fast

I played the demo a while back didn't realise it was the game I fell in love with the first demo.

This game is an awesome game :cry: need a powerful computer

Here's a map of the current world (supposed to be expended later) - yellow roads show where I've drive so far:

Click for big

Destroyer-GT · November 7, 2012

The road from Salzburg to Innsbruck is epic. Not the highway one, but narrow one on the map.

finally,proper trucker game to spend my free time ...

I love it,just bought my Scania truck and starting with serious business:lol::D

iLLGT3 · November 20, 2012

I'm enjoying the game so far besides the stupid motorway merges to one lane. That's just dumb.

Ryzza5 · November 20, 2012

Yes very dumb, but makes it interesting sometimes. Then there's a couple where you need to turn off and you try to merge into the outside lane only to discover there are 2 lanes for exiting the motorway.

SNOW!

I chose Brussels as my starting point but I'm starting to think that was a mistake. 99% of the available deliveries go from the Netherlands to the UK or vice versa and it's always the same few cities. (Never anything to the far north or far south of the UK and always seems to be to/from Rotterdam). The remaining 1% goes from the Netherlands to France or from somewhere in the UK to somewhere else in the UK. Nothing wrong with those countries but I'd really like to see something else now. Do I have to progress further first or .. ?

Ryzza5 · December 29, 2012

Just click on the cities in the map to see what jobs are there. Even if they don't pay well do them, since as you discover more places you'll be able to take jobs starting from them.

Andreas¹ · December 29, 2012

I suspected something like that was the case but I didn't know for sure, thanks. I hadn't even realized that you can click on the map itself.

Installed the demo about a 1 hour ago. I'm liking it. :)

I need to see if I can get my controller to work though, as the keyboard is annoying...and reverse parking using it is a pain.

One thing thats annoyed me though is the National Speed Limit Sign, I've been sticking to it yet the cars in front are going slower than the speed limit. Im guessing it's because the games meaning in Kpm and not Mph(which I'm using), as the type of roads I'm seeing it on, in real life it'd mean do 60mph.

Also is the demo the full game? As when I started it asked for the CD key or play as demo..and for a demo it's pretty big!(not moaning)

Andreas¹ · December 29, 2012

I'm not sure how that road sign works in real life but in the game, all speed limit signs are in their correct units (ie they are in mph in the UK). Unless you really concentrate I find them hard to notice sometimes so I tend to look at the rest of the traffic to kind of confirm my suspicions. It only happens rarely that someone travels below it but when it does, I've noticed it seems to be in the urban areas.

I was also surprised at the size of the demo when I got it. I played it for days and almost started thinking I had gotten the full game. :p I don't think there are any limitations to the game content but you can only play it for a few real life days or do x number of deliveries in-game, I'm still not sure what the limiting factor is. Whatever it is, it is more than enough for you to be able to get the feel of the game.
