I tried the demo of Euro Truck Sim today, and IMO its pretty good . The Force Feedback support is far from LFS Standard (The wheel is dead, until you crash... and then it makes an earthquake with the FFB (Anyone know how to make the FFB better?)).


Hopefully gonna buy it tommorrow.

@Bladerunner - I cant view your review thing without an account

i tried the demo, it was black and white, couldnt see a thing :'(

/me needs a new computer

Yep, I think you do.

I tried the demo on my Laptop (Fairly new, good spec), and it worked like a dream, and then tried it on my old Windows XP computer, and it was just teh blackness!!11

what specs?

The specs of my laptop are: Intel Core 2 Duo T7300, 2GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT

I would think that it's just your graphics card that needs to be better

Argh...

Just bought the full version of Euro Truck Sim and Ma fecking G25 won't work with it. Worked like a dream in the demo version, but now the accelerator and brake are both jammed on and I can't fix it..

Just downloading a new install of the game

ARH he is now but wasnt when i posted and in about 4 hours i will be leading again

Make sure that you have ENABLED the settings in the control options screen..my G25 works a treat - apart from the clucth and shifter (Full Version...NOT demo!)
Also, its worth setting up a profile in the Logitech profiler for Euro Trucks...and have the G25 set to 900 rotation...believe me, its worth it, trucks handle very realistically (for reversing with trailer attached) that way!

Restarted the computer, re-installed the game, fiddled around with all the options. Still isn't working

G25 works fine with Euro Truck Sim here. Still get the shitty SCS steering problem when going more than a certain speed (turn too much and the whole thing starts going sideways, and when you eventually straighten it up you get a kind of steering spike), annoying but you get used to it.

Theres talks of an expansion pack coming some time with more areas to drive and even the UK. Not sure how they'll manage the traveling across the channel (ferry, train?) and the switch to left hand side driving, but we'll have to wait and see I guess.

It's still a typical SCS game though, plenty of flaws but fairly enjoyable I guess.

Why does it have to not work for me . But why did it work in the demo but not in the full game

I will redesign logo for you . And I would be a big help . Please, I am your teammate .

How do you get force feedback. G25 works fine but no ffb

Quote from Luke.S :

FFB is crap in this game..I've got mine set to minimum "gain" in the settings, otherwise it is too strong to turn the bloody wheel, and when you hit something it rips your arms out of the sockets

I've set my g25 to full ffb and still none.

Guys, I don't think you noticed but I made a better banner for the team. Please tell me if you like it. Here it is:

We have just updated anyway. Nice banner though, look at our new banner .
