Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
Yeah, I often tried to drive between cities with chemical industries, like München, Frankfurt, Salzburg, Lyon and a few others I forgot.
You may like a spreadsheet where I listed all companies in each city, which I used to decide where I'd build my first few garages;

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
I bought a new truck, just to try it. Do you like it?

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
€ 29,95 but I believe there are some sites offering it at a reduction. Possibly check steam too.Dave W wrote:How much is it again? I've hit the limit of the demo.

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
Or £24.95 on Steam when I last checked.
When I checked the demo last time there wasn't a time limit?

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
I'm confused too but there seems to be 2 types of demo. The version I got from Purno hasn't got a time limit at all. The only limit it has is being unable to drive on all roads.47407 wrote:Or £24.95 on Steam when I last checked.

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
£25 at GamersGate.com if my conversion rates from Swedish Kronor to the £££ is correct, but then one might as well get the Steam version.
My Scenarios:
Archipiélago Hermoso (Latest Release: Version 3.2)
Turnpike Falls (Latest Release: Version 0.91)

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
IIRC the demo limits you to an X amount of delivieries and an X amount of distance driven, on a profile. AFAIK you can create a new profile over and over again.

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
Eco-driving's quite handy on some of the fan maps - the TSM map basically has one petrol station between Tunis and Algiers - especially on a 6x4 or 6x2, which on some models have an itty-bitty 400l tank. (The Scania has a 700l tank even in a 6xN configuration, which is one reason to keep it as your own machine).
That said, it is a bit vexing that the fuel consumption model is just "drive 2 km, burn one litre (less eco-driving discount)". The first time I ran short of fuel I tried to crawl along and idle downhill; doesn't make a jot of difference. Might as well put pedal to metal and slap it along at 90kph because I have not disabled the limiter... honest.

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
The DAF XF also has 700 liters on a 6x4 chassis, fortunately. On a 4x2 it's a stunning 1.100 liters even!

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
That sounds a tad silly. The trucks in ETS2 are probably not built for such a long trip without a fuel tank. I have no mods installed, but my Scania can drive over 3000km without refuelling, which is more than enough.damerell wrote:Eco-driving's quite handy on some of the fan maps - the TSM map basically has one petrol station between Tunis and Algiers - especially on a 6x4 or 6x2, which on some models have an itty-bitty 400l tank.

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
Using the regular 4x2 trucks, you can pretty much go Glasgow - Vienna.

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
I don't like the cab visibility on the DAF much, though, and even the highest-power engines for the DAF are quite feeble compared to some of the other makes. (I think every 4x2 has a huge-enough tank.)Hyronymus wrote:The DAF XF also has 700 liters on a 6x4 chassis, fortunately. On a 4x2 it's a stunning 1.100 liters even!
True, true, but even on the regular map, it's easy to get caught out with a 400l tank, especially if you're making ferry trips, leading to rests without refuelling. There are some surprisingly long dry spots where you're stuck on a dual carriageway with a petrol station just behind you and nowhere to go but forwards.Purno wrote:That sounds a tad silly.

I went shopping for another truck to try out some different trucks, but was dissapointed at the max engine power of some brands. I bought a Volvo, but after a few trips I went back to my good old Scania.
I really like my Scania truck. Good handling and well... it's pretty much good at anything. Each other truck I tried feels like a downgrade

Re: Euro Truck Simulator 2
My Amazon purchase arrived today.
Got myself a loan after a few high end runs and ended up with a Renault Premiun 4x2 with a 1100 litre tank.
Would have uploaded some images but my internet box is slowly failing.
So Im on my Blackberry.
