Quote from Jertje :

When you guys say no ffb, is the wheel just slack? I never changed any setting and there is quite a bit of resistance at least. When going offroad or whatever the wheel just shakes and jitters quite a bit, so there's something going on at least.

Yeah just offroad and when you crash/bump into something.

I have to put the whole thing ('def' folder) into 'my documents/ETS 2/mod/'?

No just the .scs file

Anyone find more stuttering with 1.2 physics?

I might wanna try this at some point, but I would like to know few things.
Is there any possibilities to customize the incar view? Meaning camera position, FOV, disabling virtual steeringwheel, decent virtual mirrors and disabling camera movement?
I know this isn't hardcore sim, but without any camera settings I don't think I'll be playing it for more than half an our before uninstalling.

But... There are no .scs files, only folders with .sii in them.

It has to be, you messed up something..

Yup, I did mess up . I pressed "open" instead of "save"

Oh wait, nothing has changed. When I press any of the bose's links, they all give me .zip file.

There's a mod that changes the camera position. Not sure about FoV.

You can't turn off the virtual steering wheel as far as I know.

The mirrors are decent I guess, you can even position all them specifically.

On default there is no camera movement in the cockpit when you turn or something.

Oh ffs, unzip it then

They shouldn't, as they aren't in zip files... (the ones in his last post are .scs files)

.scs files are identified as zip files, while they are not.
just drop em into ur mod folder and its good to go

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

Well not in all cases, clearly Is that a browser thing? In Chrome I got .scs files that were identified as .scs files.

.scs file is renamed .zip, so it's not very surprising they're getting identified as zip files.

I refer the gentleman to the post above

Is there any difference between 4x2 and 6x2 chassis except the looks? I mean does it handle better or do I get some new jobs...

By what I understand, 6x4 just means both rear axles are drive axles, and 6x2 means only 1 axle is. Plus on a few trucks (not all), the middle axle is a steer axle.

Quote from Bose321 :

You must have some kind of spring or damper setting turned on via your wheel software or whatever you use. There really is zero FFB in the game, except for when you drive offroad.

I have those settings turned on for those games that need them turned on. Not everything handles FFB the same way as LFS, but it's still FFB of a sort.

Yeah same here.

I guess it's a steering axle on my MAN as it says "front wheels" when I select them on customise menu... Thanks for the nfo btw

So, I just spent €113k on turning my truck into a goddamn tank. All I didn't put were hazard lights (they look idiotically bad on the truck) and chrome lock (if I put it on, I would have only like 50€ in my pocket ). Now I hope I won't have to pay off my loan anytime soon, because I need to get my money back first.

Also, here's a picture of my truck in all its magnificence in the attachment and sorry for the bad quality, the gfx are down because it lags a lot.

I tried it quickly. Not really impressed because it just seems extremely repetitive to me. What I'm missing is some harder roads where you really need to drive the trucks to keep it within the white lines and on the road. Narrow roads with sharper turns, steep hills, harder reversing spaces (like reversing between two trailers instead of there always being so much space). Also more road types, more bumps, more situations where you need to drive the truck. Also there should be missions where you need to change trailers more often and so forth. More variance.

Tying the load could make a nice minigame just like loading and unloading the trucks with cranes and stuff. Just like preparing the truck before taking off could add a nice metagame. To do a checklist before you go..

Also it could be fun if the game had some kind of voice comm system (like la phones in real trucks) which could allow people who are near to talk among themselves like real truckers. Or just add some ai drivers talking (some gta themed truck driver voice mod would be awesome ). They could even use the voice comms so truckers could tell others about some road being blocked somewhere.

It needs much more challenge. It is just way too easy and simple atm

18WoS: Halin had that, cool feature but...it was pretty much useless. If you don't have many alternative roads to choose trafic reports are meaningless, there are no huge jams, neither accidents or really bad wather. Though in a perfect sim this should be added I'd vote for a multiplayer game prior of reimplementing the CB radio.

@ hyperactive

You tried it quickly and you know there are no tighter parkings etc There is, and most of the things you listed..
Your last paragraph is a good idea, but i think any kind of online here would quickly turn into demolition derby..

Where Boris? I didn't find any.... if by tight you mean a 3 meter wide track then you need a new meaning of the word tight.
