We'll get your screenshots later then. The trucks are extremely basic when you're at low level anyways. When you gained a few levels there's way more options to mod your truck, so it becomes more interesting to see what people make of it :P

I do wonder; is the game at all fun, playing it like that? I'm not sure I understand the difference between your play style and hitting your head randomly on the keyboard.

I like the way you talk inaudibly in your videos, btw.

Quite nice, it's different than I've seen so far, but I like it.

I saw a real Volvo FH with a "Globetrotter XL" headboard today, never seen one before (or perhaps just never noticed it). :)

See, my trucks look much more boring. :) Also, anything over 500hp is silly. ;) I'm currently driving the MAN with a 360hp engine.

Edit: yeah, not sure how the MAN ended up with the light bar and no sun visor. Must have been messing around with it last night. :)

The Scania needs a repaint, hmm. :)

Inspired by the Scania driven by some of you guys, I decided to go along and abandon my faithful Volvo!

Needs to be a 6x4. Looks better that way.

6x4s can't have sideskirts over the fuel tanks, nor can you fit exhausts to them. I prefer the clean look of that side protection to the otherwise better-looking double rear axle :)

What do you think of the handling of the Scania? I tried several trucks, but I think the Scania is superior with the driving handling. But perhaps I just got used to my good old Scania :P

It's more agile, I think. It feels easier to drive, really. I think you're right in saying the handling is better, at least compared to the Volvo. The Volvo felt like a highway machine whereas the Scania can just as well do smaller roads!

For every post online I can find saying "X truck handles better than Y truck", there seems to be one saying the opposite. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not all just confirmation bias and, without mods, every truck brand has identical handling. Especially since they're licenced brands.

Here's my "let's play", at 16x speed. :P There's no audio, play your own music.
