Euro Truck Simulator 2

Does a 360 controller plug straight in? I have a wireless one. Unsure if it even has a cable with it..

Normal one won't mate, you'll need to buy a receiver to plug into your pc, then connect your controller to it wirelessly.

Either that or buy a Xbox controller specifically made for windows, basically a wired controller.

 

[Sam]

I have a normal xbox 360 wired controller and it worked perfectly.

You can connect your wireless 360 controller if your laptop has bluetooth. I read a guide before on the web.

 

[Reev]

You can't connect the Xbox pad via bluetooth, you need the wireless adapter. You can use a PS3 pad using Bluetooth though.

 

[Wilkeh]

I used to spend ages on Saints Row reversing lorries with trailers on into tight spaces

I might actually enjoy this!

 

[Snakey]

Or playing San Andreas and loading up a car transporter

 

[dajones]

I just bought a truck and absolutely kitted it out with lights, I demand to be seen lol

 

[Chapster5]

Guilty... Downloaded it last night Almost cried when it only finished about 12:00am and I had to go to bed! Only finished the Tutorial.

 

[sbridgey]

Would be cool if there was an online mode and we could have a CS convoy!

 

[Addicted]

There are rumours of online mode coming!

 

[Chapster5]

That would be epic

Downloaded this last night because of this thread.

Just done my first job. Amsterdam to Newcastle. Transporting sand or milk or something and all was going well. Got to the ferry port before night fall, cheeky 17 hour trip across the water on the ferry and I arrived in North Shields ferry port at 3 in the morning, pitch black. Lights on and find my way to the drop off point in Newcastle....only I didn't have anything to drop off...left my trailer at the ferry port!!! Gutted. I didn't realise as it was pitch black but I did wonder why I couldn't see the trailer in my mirrors. Now rested up on the A1 before going back to the ferry port to collect the load.

Strangely addictive this one! Cant wait to tell my old man about it, he drove HGVs for 40 years ... brings back some memories for me as a kid this one!

Actual LOL.

 

[Sam]

Why is a game that sounds so s**t so addictive.

I did a 15 hr (in game time) drive last night and it was great fun.

 

[Chapster5]

LMFAO!

 

[dajones]

I think im best friends with the recovery guy now lol

 

[Nik]

I've just got my new Fanatec gear, but this thread is making me tempted to tear myself away from iracing, forza, and F1 2012 to give this a try. A thread on here a while back even made me try out Street Cleaning Simulator ffs!.....

 

[Dan@SJM]

Tut tut, 15 hr drive!

heres a panaramic of my office, shows how accurate it is.

 

[Djw John]

I may have downloaded this, properly tragic but addictive! How are folk removing the limiters? Or is that not possible on the demo version?

 

[Chapster5]

How do people indicate lol I plowed through a forest and ended in a ditch ffs.

 

[Dan@SJM]

^ indicating won't have stopped you doing that.

 

[Luke.]

^ indicating won't have stopped you doing that.

Haha.. Was thinking this myself..

 

[Chapster5]

LOL I know I know just wouldn't mind knowing how to indicate maybe then some inconsiderate retards will let me out on a motorway.

It's set to [ and ] by default, but I changed mine to Q + E - then moved engine off to R.

Check that out, I believe the 6x4 etc is amount of wheels?

The demo is actually the full game - you can only get to level 4 however.

Download that, it'll probably be a .zip, open it up and copy the .scs file to "My Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\mods" - job done!

 

[Dan@SJM]

6x4 is the configuration. 6 wheeled unit with 4 driven wheels. Usual setup for the UK is 6x2 midlift.

Good call think ill do the same makes life easier.

Imagining the insurance claim form
"I crashed into the forest as I didn't know how to indicate"

Wouldn't go down well, I just ordered one of those Microsoft Wireless pad adapters for the computer. £20 bargain, should make the game easier. Anyone find coming to a stop takes about 6 years and you only really stop when the car in front is sideways against your front bumper or in a tree somewhere.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Thats what happens when you have 44 tonnes to stop

 

[sbridgey]

You have to use the engine brake and the foot brake to stop "quickly".

 

[Chapster5]

Engine Brake? The only brake I know is hold onto the S key and close my eyes hoping for the best LOL.

 

[sbridgey]

have a look through the controls, there is an engine brake and a parking brake.

Has anyone else noticed the hazard lights come on when you go out of control?

Ideal cheers.

Engine brake default is b btw, helps massively!

Mine do too, maybe it depends on the truck, i think I was in the Renault truck when the hazards self activated, not noticed it in the Volvo.

 

[Chapster5]

Get bank loans. It's more fun driving your own truck.

 

[Addicted]

Definitely get your own truck, and level up Long Distance = mega money. Doing a job atm for 45k

 

[Chapster5]
