Euro Truck Sim 2

This thread is perhaps most of them who have tried to drive a truck & trailer
...but if you are like me, who never took the time to use 3 pedals (clutch) this is a Sim where it goes a little slower & have time to practice.

Euro Truck Simulator 2

The idea of the game is really good, unfortunately after a few hours...cities are somewhat similar regardless of which country you are visiting, nothing gives a feel for where you are when you finally reach the delivery & they are small. GPS in the car is good, but the towns are so small that you can't get lost.
The cars you encounter on the highway may change slightly according to the country you are driving in. Italy you will meet most Fiat & in Germany you will see many VOLVO XC90
We managed quite quickly to get money to expand garage & hire 2 & buy more trucks. Valiant is really good for the price & runs better with Eagle tires & rims.
What I got most out of this game was, that I started to get used to using the clutch pedal...& some good crash in a big car
Ohh, you see no police, but you get fined for driving through a red & too fast.

There are already 3 updates, first 1.1.1, 1.1.3 & today 1.2.5

WOW, there has really been much happening lately with this Sim, I must admit it with the cities was boring, it is not any more. Ferries & bridges between countries & of course the bridge between Denmark and Sweden.

DLC packs, ProMods & many more.



It seems to ETS2 is here to stay...or if you would rather build one yourself, here's a little tip
