The "Euro Truck Simulator"-series Thread.

Well I wouldn't know, because I've never been to Europe. I know the License plates are very different, and even one states plates looks different to another.

To be fair I've only been to Ohio to attend a Business Course at the University of Ohio. Fun times in the pub with cheerleaders though during the University Football matches and Ohio State University winning.
But yeah, I didn't get to see much of the country while I was there for a good 3 weeks ish, learning stuff the normal students learn in 3 to 6 months. So it was more studying than sight seeing.


As far as Europe goes... We don't have states here, unless you mean EU Member 'States'. Though that legally doesn't count as we are not one country like the USA is. Every EU Member State is still an individual country and has its individual laws and regulations, and some still don't have the Euro (smart choice if you ask me).

All license plates have been made somewhat more uniform, as all have a blue patch to the side with the EU flag and the country letters you're from. Also known as international licence plate country code.
In the past those letters were put on cars via an oval white sticker, formerly known as International Registration Letter. Which was mandatory when traveling internationally.
I personally still have both on my car. An NL sticker and EU conform license plates.

Most UK plates don't have the little blue bit, the ones that have the blue have GB in it.

But then we aren't a proper EU member, no Euro, driving on the other side and all that...

At he end I meant the US license plates are different from one state to another.







Even in the same state you see differences. Many times in New York you see 'old' license plates(white and blue) and 'new' license plates(orange and blue).

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I thought the new NY plates are orange and black, not blue.

Nope. My brother has a new NY license plate and its orange and blue.

Check out the options we have here in one state of Australia (NSW), all the other states would have many options too. It's mind boggling !

@Dean Suggestions for GTPlanet Trucking colour scheme:

It would look cool when we drive in a convoy on MP. If more people join the VTC and want to have a company scheme.

 

[Kamuifanboy]

I'm more of a fan of fhe first one but, I think I would probably like black rather than white. Fits the Gran Turismo colors better imo. Charcoal Grey would be the best choice really.

1.12 has been released on Steam!

Replace the white with charcoal then 👍

The new truck and trailer browser is very handy. Also the new Trailer Pack DLC is on Steam but can't be purchased yet.

 

[Kamuifanboy]

I guess something like this?



Does anybody know how much the DLC will cost?

 

[Leggy1]

@Kamuifanboy DLC costs £3.99 ($6.66, 5 Euros).

Definitely a good bargain so I'll be purchasing!

After playing around with the livery, I think on the MAN it looks better this way. Not sure how this will look on other trucks though.



Also, here is a pic from my favorite time of day! Just after 4AM when the light is beginning to come back up!

That colour scheme is better.

Nice picture 👍

It seems the new trailers don't work with Jazzycat's cargo packs, and they aren't any heavier than the normal ones unfortunately. However, the new paint job is customisable, looks really good.

 

[Mark II Blit]

@Kamuifanboy That last paintjob is exactly how I had envisioned a GTP livery. Combine that with (voluntary) [GTP] tags in our names as we hurtle down the Autobahn and I say we've got a pretty awe-inspiring convoy 👍

Today I thought I'd let the Scania stretch its legs for the first time in weeks. I was pleasantly surprised to find the V8 sound has since been improved with turbo whine and a more audible rumble in the cabin. It really makes a world of difference. I love the new paintjobs, too! Here's a shot of my revamped R-Series in Vienna.

What is the best controller set up? I am finding it near impossible to steer on the keyboard.

 

[samurai8juice]

@Kamuifanboy DLC costs £3.99 ($6.66, 5 Euros).

Hmm, I don't think I'm buying this DLC, lol.

Well I wouldn't have anyway, but its not as tempting seeing 666 as a price.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I've been using my DS3. My controls are
L2 = brake, R2 = accelerate, L1 = left blinker, R1 = right blinker, start engine = select, parking brake = x, hazard = triangle, light mode = O, high beam = square, horn = L3, wipers = R3, enter = start.

[Kamuifanboy]

Well, according to the Steam Store, it is $4.99 in the US

Lets hope we get some more members in GTPlanet Trucking.

Do we have to sign up or something?

@Mark II Blit How do you add the Clan Tag?

[samurai8juice]

I use the keyboard for MP, and for SP, but sometimes I use the 360 controller for SP. I tried the 360 controller for MP, but with all the lag for me, the inputs were so delayed, and just wasn't right.

@Mark II Blit How do you add the Clan Tag?

I think you need to make a new profile to have a tag. And you have to manually put in the [GTP]. Either that, or I don't know what I'm talking about

Promods 1.7 has been released. Compatible with ETS2 v1.12

To join the VTC (Virtual Trucking Company) you must message @Dean . This is where members log their trips for the company, GTPlanet Trucking 👍

5 members so far

 

[Sting]

I really need to get into this. Bought it and did a trip or two in SP before GTA5 came out, but since then, GTA has had all my gaming time. Gonna have to get into this GTP company and do some trucking.

Anyone use a wheel at all? Thats what I used quickly for my SP drives.

 

[Dean]

I can start a conversation @Kamuifanboy - and @Sting -, that's no problem, I just need to know who is interested.

Add me into that convo (although I won't be active over the next week as I am on holiday) but can catch up when I get home

 

[Leggy1]

Got back on my MP profile with the Scania, first trip with GTP colours

Though I do miss my midnight purple

 

[Sting]

Yup, I'm interested. I've just got to get back into the game and start using it to figure out how it all works.

 

[Mark II Blit]

@Mark II Blit How do you add the Clan Tag?

By [GTP] tags, I meant that we could just edit the name of our Steam profiles before we go on MP. You can always change it back in 20 seconds if you don't want to keep it
