Great, Steam username is leggy1997.Awesome! I've set up a Steam group to make it easier to get in contact with other GTP drivers. It's invite only, but shoot me a PM with your Steam name (or post it here) and I'll send you an invite as soon as I can.
Maybe we should try and get something together for Friday or Saturday? The only day I'm unavailable is tomorrow, but I don't know if anyone has any preferences regarding day and time
Scania is the best

Yes it is, I think all the trucks are pretty good, except for the Renaults. The new Volvo is very nice, I really like the interior and it has the most powerful engine of any truck.
You can have the Stralis with 310hp if you want, the least powerful engine on the game. That would be hopeless with almost every load@Dean As you please, good sir! Invited
Also, I think the worst truck is the stock Iveco Stralis. It just doesn't feel like it has 560 hp; it feels downright sluggish. Now I drive the old Actros, and while it may only have 38 more hp, it feels so much nicer to drive. I also enjoy the authoritative hyperactive blinkers that let everyone know when I'm ready to change lanes
I think Renaults also feel slower than their power suggests, a 380 hp Premium seems a lot slower than a 360 hp Scania. I drive a Scania Streamline with the 730 hp V8 engine, and although I love having lots of power and torque it can sometimes feel like too much. The 580 hp V8 would be fine.

Has anyone here tried Omsi 2 on steam?
Yes it really is, I might try to pull the heaviest loads in one just to see what happensYeah, the cheapest Stralis is pathetic - unless you really like working those 12 gears
I, too, like having to work for the power, but there's a limit to how much I'm willing to do to get to highway speeds. The Actros strikes a good balance, I think. The only downside is that the tank is so tiny, you constantly have to watch over your fuel consumption on the information display. It's only with the Actros that I've started getting into driving economically, which is quite fun, as it adds another aspect to your driving style 👍

I agree, I think 500-600 hp probably strikes the best balance between performance and economy. Yes that would be a problem, the tank is about half the size of the other trucks thanks to that spare wheel. With the Scania the predicted range is 4000km with a trailer and a full tank, and I could add another 500 or so to that with careful driving. But upgrading to the V8 really hurts the economy.
Yeah I guess it would be a problem then, and the automatic gearbox can be annoying. When using a lot of throttle it changes up at 2000ish rpm, seems too high to me. I used some cargo pack mods on my singleplayer profiles, and some loads were super heavy, up to 75t. Even 750 hp really struggled then, but yes pulling normal loads doesn't require any more than 600.
Sounds like a good plan, a motorway fuel station/rest spot could be a good place to meet, there are plenty of those in Germany.
Only Saturday for me

Quote from developer's forum:
"Q: Will we be able to do the same job as another person?
A: Yes. You can do group jobs all going to the same location so you can drive in a Convoy."
So we should all be able to go to the same place with the same trailer.
Also, I can't do Sunday
You can use it while moving, you can steer but can't accelerate. And its hard to see so not really a good idea.
Drive a Scania
