Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Games

[QUOTE=Zethereal;38251042]Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this game running better? currently at a stable 20fps on high with no AA and 200x scaling. I have a GT 540M, so I'd have thought it would run better.[/QUOTE] Lower the graphics detail?

[QUOTE=Stopper;38261165]Lower the graphics detail?[/QUOTE] It runs at the same FPS no matter what the graphics detail is. It could be running on ultra low but still 20fps. It's not limited either.

This for me :v: [IMG]http://tevami.com/gallery/logitech_g25_racing_wheel.bmp[/IMG] Although, yet to try the H-shifter for this simulator.

H shifting is fine, it doesn't fuck your arm up, I'd say using the pedals fuck your legs up more than the h shifting.

[QUOTE=leach139;38261384]H-Shifting, especially with all 12 gears, will inevitably make your arm fall off from my experience. You have been warned.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure you don't use all 12 gears. You go like 1-3-5-7-9-11, or something along those lines, so it's pretty much the same.

[QUOTE=maqzek;38261572]Pretty sure you don't use all 12 gears. You go like 1-3-5-7-9-11, or something along those lines, so it's pretty much the same.[/QUOTE] There's 3 shift modes IIRC, I use the 1-6, 7-12 w/ modifier button one right now but I might try a different one because it takes FUCKING AGES to get up to speed

I use 1,3,5,7,9,11/2,4,6,8,10,12 you can basically skip half the gears this way, once you hit 9th you'll want to start using them all tho.

Still waiting for my wheel to arrive in the mail from my old place, so I haven't looked at the config yet. But if they've done it right, you should have 6 forward gears and a splitter button. That's how it works in a real truck. And of course you don't shift through all 12 (or with some, even 16) gears all the time. You use only those that give you the optimal rpm. How to do it: (12 gears, displayed as 12 individual gears) [quote][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnGuG6tRgXw[/media][/quote] How not to do it: (16 gears, displayed as 8 gears with two halves each, marked by the triangles facing up or down). This guy shifts through all the halves all the time. [quote][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8GF5imCCuE[/media][/quote]

With half-way modifier, you can just modify once when you get to 7 then go 8 > 9 > 10 > 11 > 12, much easier

No wait. You lost me there. [editline]31st October 2012[/editline] ninjas.

[QUOTE=Psygo;38261638]that is true, but you don't have to use the modifier all the way up till when you want 10th.[/QUOTE] except most of the time you're not going to be down below 10th thanks to motorways

[QUOTE=leach139;38261653]except most of the time you're not going to be down below 10th thanks to motorways[/QUOTE] well, I don't see the problem with the even/uneven one, I like it.

How do I unflip trucks. I've had to restart 3 times because i just flip them on the first route.

[QUOTE=Methylparaben;38261883]How do I unflip trucks. I've had to restart 3 times because i just flip them on the first route.[/QUOTE] You can call for an emergency truck (F7? I think) to reset you at the nearest town but prevention is the best cure. Don't drive so fast around corners! Use the motor brake to bleed off speed.

This game looks neat, should I get it for £15?

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;38261943]This game looks neat, should I get it for £15?[/QUOTE] Try the demo if you're not sure.

--Snip, Got it--

Is this game actually fun or is it just another sim?

[QUOTE=TheSporeGA;38262519]Is this game actually fun or is it just another sim?[/QUOTE] it's super fun. I've been playing non stop and just ordered a G27 to get the full trucking experience lol.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;38262903]Meh you can take corners on a highway with 120 km/h, screw driving slowly.[/QUOTE] Euro Truck Simulator 2: Most Wanted 2

... And I managed to crash my truck right into a tree because of my outrageous and wildly inappropriate speed. :suicide:

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;38262903]Meh you can take corners on a highway with 120 km/h, screw driving slowly.[/QUOTE] I'm fine on highways doing 120-130, it's under breaking for corners that it likes to topple

My drivers only seem to be resting, how to i get them to work D:
