ETS2 Drivable Buses

[haverfordwest]

Just north of Aber to Cardiff re-start. Cleared out everything except ProMods as game was crashing randomly.

Only put back jazzycats AI traffic and the classic cars AI, as they worked fine in the past.

As an aside did you see someone has released the Cambrian route for TS2019, on uktwaddlesim Vern ?

No-one can download it though.

I'll check that out Mike, though probably needs a cartload of DLC dependencies!

[NorthernWarrior]

Yep. A cartload. Think I will pass on that even if the download gets sorted. Makes the requirements for Pro Mods swift and easy. Not blaming the route author but it is just too tempting to keep ticking all those provider boxes when putting a TS route together.

[haverfordwest]

The TS route, yes a shed load.

I also installed a mod that gives double payment for driving jobs.

A must have for someone like me that keeps starting again, after fiddling.

I just did Cardiff - Chelmsford with milk, £66 grand for delivery.

Aber - Limerick with woodchips £64 grand for delivery.

Next trip is Cardiff - Rotterdam £144 grand.

Was quite pleased to see the NG station in Porthmadog!

Now off from Glasgow to Reykjavik via Thurso.

[haverfordwest]

Yes Vern and the tracks crossing the road.

That's a long one buddy. I just finished St Petersburg - Sundsvall, in game driving time 22hrs 28mins and i did it all in one go.

Brilliant run though Vern, thoroughly enjoyable.

Iceland involves two ferry rides (glad my "employer" was paying) and when you get there it's still 800km (so about 45 on the scaled map) from Seyfidsjour to Reykjavik. The scenery is something else, with part gravel roads and narrow bridges, did try and grab some screenshots but they went AWOL. There is also supposed to be an "extreme" road near Kirkenes in Norway ( https://youtu.be/3Ir0xNRFW1E ) which I need to find and try out.

But at the moment think I will stay in Iceland and see if I can unlock all the towns and side roads. The distances mean you need to watch the fuel and sleep gauges quite closely...

[haverfordwest]

Sounds like i need to try Iceland, then Vern.

Screenshots are F10 key and they are saved in your Documents\ETS2\Screenshots folder.

Just watched the start of the YT video, impressive bit of dirt tracking at the beginning, buddy.

I am taking all the longest deliveries and then adding all my experience points to that category.

Fuel i have set to realistic, sleeping i don't do Vern.

[haverfordwest]

Just done Bari - Genova, really nice but Italy is nothing but toll roads.

Don't go there when you own your own truck Vern. One toll booth i or my employer had to pay £84





Mike.

[NorthernWarrior]

Ouch. I will stick to the North for now, or make sure I do a contract job if I venture down to Italy. Still saving for my own truck (decided against using the extra cash mod) but figure you need about £250k to set up a decent rig for heavy haul, etc.

If you are interested in expanding your map in ETS2 or ATS, you should check out this guy's YT channel. He makes a lot of videos for both of these sims, and he explains and reviews different map add ons.

Many thanks =FI=Ghost, added to liked vids.

Lost everything Vern, power cut around 1pm. Power came back on just before 2pm.

Win10 wouldn't reboot, i tried repairing from boot disc no go.

I had to format drive and re-install Win10. Now i have new problem, Windows doesn't recognise my GTX1070 and won't let me install the Nvidia drivers. Doing my bloody head in now buddy, i can tell you.

I had over £500k after that last job grrrrrrrrrr

Mike.

[haverfordwest]

Panic over Win10 being a right tart. Hadn't updated itself after re-install.

I hate Windows nightmares... Strange to relate after that issue I had the other week with the big update messing up access to my hard drives on the main PC, I let it loose on the laptop and that has been okay...

Back to ETS2, just bought my first truck - a Renault as it sounds vaguely like a Class 150/153/155 under power, but t is pretty much bare bones as you need higher levels to unlock the heavy haul mods. So back in lower Europe at present, though the indie jobs seem much better paying than the random ones where you drive the company's truck.
