ETS2 Drivable Buses

Big Mack with fries please...

HAHAHAHAHAHA, too late Vern.

I was perusing the mod sites and spotted a tandem trailer mod for ETS2.

Installed it and then found out i am not at a high enough level to buy it yet.

So i am doing a bit of driving in Italy to get the XP. This Mercedes sounds excellent. Like a washing machine on spin, full of nuts and bolts.

I have 5 of these cloned to the same specs. 4 drivers working their socks off, while i take a tour.

From Liverpool - Tel Aviv, via the Channel Tunnel.

Nice one, Mike.

Avoiding the cash mod for now, I have been working my socks off to get enough money in reserve to cover my loans. Ended up in Sardinia and now en route to Limerick with hopefully a £77k payday. With time in hand, I decided to take a couple of scenic detours one in Italy near Parma (which looked like something out the Italian job) and then Switzerland came off the main A2 motorway and heading over what I think is the A13 in the direction of Chur. Again, looks like something out of one of the rally games!

It makes a change from cruise controlling along the motorway at 82 km/h (low enough to avoid the speeding fines) and also avoids the toll booths which are a bit of a PITA in Southern Europe - not the cost, but having to stop every couple of minutes. When I'm more flush with cash, going to see what happens if you blast through one of the open lanes!

Lovely screenies Vern, ETS2 scenery is gorgeous, where as ATS it gets to be a bit repetitive.

I only told you to blow the doors off.

I haven't been to Sardinia or Limerick yet. Also haven't tried cruise control, all my trucks are limited to the EU mandatory 56mph

Where as in ATS, some freeways have truck limits of 80mph.

My lips are sealed in regards the toll dodging. But don't try ramming a barrier, they are very solid.

In regards both games the only down side for me is the brainless AI. But apart from that, far more fun than any of the train games.

Come on now buddy, you know you want the money & xp mods. LOL

I have more mods installed than official dlc. Jazzycats AI traffic mods are a must, motorcycles, trucks, buses, classic cars.

https://ets2.lt/en/?s=jazzycat There are a couple of pages.

I have all these freeware ones installed as well Vern, scroll down.

Sound like some worthwhile mods. I'll check them out once my current task finishes.

[haverfordwest]

No worries Vern, have to be careful because some mods mess up the game.

But all the ones i have installed, do not cause me any problems.

DB Creation mods need to be at the top of the mod manager and in the order they state in their readme.

Jazzycat mods i place after all the ProMods stuff.

Purchased a big garage in Linz on my way to Tel Aviv, still 2,500 miles to go.

Plus 5x drivers with 5x Sisu M trucks (Finnish make). Rolls Royce engines and all to the same spec and company livery.

Just been through Maribor, wherever that is.

Abandond Tel Aviv after i found a new toy, i mean truck.

Now doing Liverpool to Honningsvag, i think it's called.

Over 3,500 miles so further than Tel Aviv.

Upgraded with all the trimmings and Western Welsh company livery.

My favorite truck in game old Mack mod with logo I painted on it as my trucking company in gameats.jpg

[haverfordwest]

Agree buddy, the old Mack is my fave in ATS.

Honningsvag pretty much takes you to the top of the world - that's where I posted screens from earlier last week.

[haverfordwest]

Coolio................."look at me ma i'm on top of the world"

Nice one Vern, probably 2x penguins and a polar bear and nothing else there.

I had to ditch my metallic red livery, does strange things in game.

Metallic red first piccie in rear view mirrors, looks blue.

Repainted the whole fleet in Western Welsh bus red.

After driving on the continent it seemed strange to be back in the UK as I transited to Eire. Mind the developers and ProMods have done a good job of showing how poor British roads are compared to the rest of Europe. Narrow lanes, tight corners, roundabouts you literally cannot get around without either scraping the trailer or knocking down the road signs. The plus point is, plenty of 60 MPH running on motorways and dual carriageways compared to largely 50 MPH in Europe.

Good luck on your long trip north!
