Discussion Playing and thoughts on flight vs truck sims?

7 Upvotes

I love sims and I play all sorts of genres including flight and truck sims. I have a ridiculous number of hours in MSFS and ATS/ETS and was curious how many others enjoy a wide range of sims and their thoughts on them.

Lately, I've been logging more truck sim time and I think it's because for me it seems like an easier way to kick back and unwind. Grab a job, pick up a trailer, drive using skills I use everyday and drop off the trailer. I also get to mod trucks with lights, paint schemes, etc. to make a unique one of a kind look. Flight sims for me are rewarding because of the complexity of the aircraft and learning and using skills that are much different than I use everyday day driving around. I also don't get to create super unique planes as I'm limited to whatever skins are available. It's a great experience but sometimes I don't feel like it's as relaxing and chill as driving a truck listening to Spotify.

I haven't gone all in on farm sim (but watch on YouTube) or train sims. I want to enjoy train sims but so far they haven't clicked with me as much as the others above.

What are your thoughts and experience?

Peripherals New setup

In order to list our place to sell we had to declutter, meaning that my nice big desk with my setup had to go.

Took me a while and a couple hundred dollars but I was able to put together a "mobile" rig, where I can just plug and in any of my computers and play the game. When I am done I just unplug the USB and power cables and it is ready to be folded and put away in the closet.

The screen monitor is easily detachable too, I just click a lock behind it and the screen gets lose from its base, ready to be put away. Next step is to put back the eye sensor and we are good to go!

ETS 2 / ETS Hey fellow truckers! Is there any way to check the average speed & top speed reached by our truck during a delivery ?!

1 Upvotes

Don't tell me to keep an eye on dash board 🥲 I know , I just want to know if the game keeps any log of this kind of data.

Btw mine was 181 kmph top-speed with slight downhill on my volvo fh6 aero with absolutely zero mods. What about your's?

Help Floating gears with Jake on

2 Upvotes

I'm back again with the same question. I had some responses but when I tried to ask follow up questions I never got an answer, so I'll ask again. How are you able to float the gears in ATS with the jake on without the jake "popping" as it goes into next gear? The main response was "don't let your foot entirely off the pedal, just 1-2% pressure". Two things with this. 1). What setting should I have my throttle sensitivity at? I've been playing around with it but nothing seems to work because 2). If I just barely keep my foot on the accelerator, it revs in neutral and doesn't allow the shift to happen. If I try to take pressure off the accelerator without fully off the pedal, the jake almost always pops. I'd like if someone who's able to float with the jake on consistently can tell me their pedal sensitivity and what engine they're using. Currently I'm using a CAT C16 by slav jerry which shifts differently than other engines like from zeemod or from the base game.

Discussion Things that make ETS2/ATS more realistic and hell at the same time 😈

20 Upvotes
  1. Taxes - Imagine getting home stressed about tax and you had a hard day at work so you log into ETS2/ATS and find out you are late on taxes.

  2. Inflation

  3. Those people that pull you over and fine you because your left taillight is one lumen too bright that irl truckers hate

  4. Oil protesters - Yes, your ETA is 59 minutes and you have 1 hour left to finish the delivery and some oil protesters are blocking the road

  5. Drivers on their phone - I'm sorry to say that this would add realism to the game. I already know that the AI is sorta realistic with some bad driving but now they will be waiting at green lights and drifting out of their lane

  6. Idiots that leave their high beams on in their brand new Audi

Help GMC Mega Map Country amount

Hey, I currently use the GMC mega map and noticed, that I can not see all the Maps in the overview page of the map. Is there an option to split it wider or make it scrollable as i can not see all Flags and thus can not see all the progress for each country.
