The "Euro Truck Simulator"-series Thread.

So I have been playing around, and I have a new truck I like. Kenworth T800. I have also included a Peterbilt 389 Daycab Flattop with long frame. Petebilt 389 is still my queen. lol

I have discovered something interesting. I have the AI police mod, and apparently there is a truck that has some writing on it. Here is what I saw.

That Pete is a beast !

Mostly been in the T908 and K200 lately. Also found this unusual trailer yesterday but the link has disappeared from the mod site now. ???


When you detach , it tilts up. Pretty cool but totally useless except for screenshots haha.

Just reinstalled this, slapped a bunch of mods on and I am hoping it gives me decent performance. Or at least decent enough to make a youtube series!

Is the T908 worth the cost? I think it was $25 US I think or more. Are updates always free?

It sure is. I figured out how to get the 4x6 long frame on the day cab. Go for the uni cab. Select any setup that is long. Can be the lower or 4x6 or 6x8. Go back to cab style and select day cab. YAY!

For my Pete I have the Aloca Heavy Duty Axle and Kenworth Heavy Axle in the front. I use The Space Beacon 2.0 and I use the Real Logistics pack for the antennas and horns and lights.

Couple of lorries to share. First up, the second job I get after almost a year and a half of not playing ETS2. Not ideal.
Second, back from my old career, the most beautiful lorry colour scheme I ever laid my eyes on.

I think its still $25 US for the 908 or you can buy the K200 as well and save a few dollars. It is a very good quality model but it doesn't have a lot of options compared to ohaha or rjl free mods. Plenty of engine choices , 4 cabs , one bull bar , and a few exhaust stacks to choose from. These are the main items. Updates are free but you need to access the download directly through rta mods on Facebook.
Personally , I think the price is too high but having said that , I seem to spend most of my time in these two kenworths haha

That Sega truck is the business. Beautiful.

Wow... that chrome...! Before I purchase my own cab I've done a couple of other jobs; one of the lorries was beautiful!

 

[HuskyGT]

Had to do a mandatory vid of my new 389. Getting that chrome trailer that matches the truck was such a streak of luck to waste it.

Antos That truck looks amazing. Nice choice of paint too. I have to give that mod one more try. Last time I tried it it was conflicting with something but I just don't know what. I like it more than the Actros because of the front end. Looks "sportier."

Antos! That truck looks amazing. Nice choice of paint too.

Wait until you see my Scanias when I get them

I'm more envy of you guys graphics than the trucks to be honest.

Sick as f... able to share where you got the trailer from??

 

[Michelin]

That Steam sale sure is making me want to buy Going East!, Scandinavia and the High Power Cargo or whatever the name is... decisions, decisions.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Same! I'm deciding between this or the Assetto Corsa DLCs.

 

[HuskyGT]

Sure thing! Here it is http://ets2.lt/en/us-trailer-pack-v-1-0/ It's an old mod, but it's still working with the latest patch.

Do it man! Totally worth it. Scandinavia is probably the best and most complete official expansion. That map is much better than the original one.

 

[Michelin]

I'll be buying the DLCs today, I've decided haha

 

[HuskyGT]

Gave my Mack Superliner a new look. Not much to choose from since this mod is still in v1.0. But I love the simplistic and "heavy duty" look of this truck. I think the light gold goes better with the interior and overall look and feel of this beast. I wish the two-hole rims would be available in other finishes other than red and chrome. A regular gray would look fantastic.

Enjoy that monster V8 sound!!

Sounds great under load. What engine is that ?

Did you join the rta mods skins Facebook group ? Theres some very talented skinners out there.

The 500HP E9 V8. I don't go for the most powerful because that takes away the fun a bit. I haven't checked the RTA group. I did join the HD Truck Team group though. I know they are working on an update and hopefully they'll include skins.

Just finished my first World of Trucks contract. This will be available when the 1.22 update goes live (I'm currently on the public_beta). They purposely let the limiter on, so it took me 1h1min (actually less because my keyboard died within a kilometer of the destination) from Torino to Hannover. That was a tiring trip, I really prefer to be able to reach 155km/h on the highway fully loaded.

More Mack pron

The detail in this thing is stunning.

 

[Michelin]

What's better: 4 tires and the huge fuel tank or 6 tires and smaller fuel tank?

Not sure really. It all comes to the size of the tank. So far, the Mack and the T908 have the largest tanks and you can literally cross the entire map with only half. I find it more fun when your fuel is a bit more limited. The T908 runs out of AdBlue before diesel, which is a bit annoying though.

As for the Euro trucks, when you chose the 4x2 it usually comes with a larger tank and you can definitely feels the difference.

on the Euro trucks 4x2 gives a tank of 1400l, and I find them stable..

Just gave this baby a try. Wonderful mod. Simple truck, but beautifully made. Got to love these old trucks; whether they are American or European.

More Euro beauties!

Are you on the Beta? If you are, then this sound file is worthless ;( ;( the sound files have been changed for the time being so all sound mods for engine brake needs adjustment.

I am stuck in the beta and just starting using the Scania sound mod. Its broken for now.
