![]() ![]() The side of the road you’re driving on also varies appropriately by country. ![]() You’ll also need to obey traffic laws, and are fined automatically for speeding, any collisions, or red lights run. You could conceivably miss a turn or an off ramp somewhere, but actually getting lost seems impossible. Signage on all highways is also accurate and easy enough to follow. You can toggle the overlay off for authenticity. Instead, you’ll need to rely on the maps, in either a detailed version in your notebook (the N key) or a miniature overlay (the M key). You will never be given a clearly-marked route to mindlessly follow. Interestingly, there’s no GPS or arrow indicators here. Rain effects look nice, though don’t affect your handling in any perceptible way. You can even engage a parking brake, which does nothing practical except make you feel confused, then stupid for leaving it on. You can click on left and right turn signals, which hopefully will keep other drivers from trying to pass you on a lane change. Headlights, horns, wipers, and cruise control all function. Trucks apparently need to reach about 5th gear before they move at more than a crawl, so be prepared to hammer “shift up” after every stoplight. Manual transmission does not include a clutch (just “shift up” and “shift down”) and works only in increments. You can choose manual or automatic transmission at the options screen instead of per truck. Chow and potty breaks for your virtual trucker are sadly not simulated. Run out of gas or let your truck break down, and you’ll need to call (and pay for) roadside assistance. Along the way you’ll need to pay for fuel as needed, sleep at rest areas if fatigue is setting in, and pay for truck and tire maintenance in between runs. You can also purchase licenses to handle more valuable cargo – explosives, chemicals, and fragile shipments – though these don’t raise the payout as much as a long drive will. The value of each route is almost entirely dependent on distance traveled, which is why opening up new countries is a top priority. There’s no benefit to starting in one country over another, as smaller countries include larger neighbors as well (choosing Belgium also unlocks France, for example). Any money you make goes toward truck upgrades, a powerful new chassis, or unlocking the ability to take contracts in countries adjacent to any you’ve unlocked previously. You’ll use this truck to take contracts from a series of fictitious goods providers, link up with the trailer full of cargo, and drive it to wherever it needs to go. We’re living the good life.Įuro Truck Simulator starts you off with an underwhelming truck and one country of your choosing from a map running from Portugal to Poland (minus Luxembourg and anything smaller). Memory (RAM): 8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.Driving cheap Scandinavian furniture to Rome. ![]() ![]() Motherboard: ASUS® P8Z77-V LX: USB 3.0, SATA 6GBs, ATI®CrossFireX Processor (CPU): Intel® Core™i7-2600k Quad Core (3.40GHz, 8MB Cache) + HD Graphics Anyone got any ideas why this is happening? It seems to have started doing this since I got a new TV, but this does not make much sense to me. It is really annoying that I have to do this every time I start ETS and I have no idea why. Everything is great until the next time I start ETS. If I then set it to 1680 x 1024 resolution, click Apply, it displays in 1680 x 1024 resolution, if I then say NO to 'Do you want to keep settings', it reverts to 1680 x 1050 resolution and displays correctly. If I go into Options, Graphics, the resolution is set to 1680 x 1050 resolution as previously set, although it is displaying in 1280 x 768 resolution. Every time I start ETS it comes up in 1280 x 768 resolution, which does not fit either display and gives very poor graphics quality. I am now on ETS 1.9.22 on Steam, but I had the same issue on ETS 1.8.x. This resolution fits both displays correctly. I am running Windows 7 set to 1680 x 1050 resolution with Multiple Displays (Monitor and TV) set to 'Duplicate these displays'. ![]()
