ETS2 Drivable Buses

[haverfordwest]

I don't mind the format and re-install Windows Vern.

Just tamping that i have lost all my progress in ETS2

That is so weird you buying a Renault, that was my next ride on the next delivery.

Is it a weird looking thing in red, buddy ? Noooooooooooo i won't have it. Those are the last BR dmu's i had any affection for.

So you are driving your own truck, but on a per delivery basis ? Or you have contracts to deliver on a regular basis ?

Right i am off to install Steam and ETS2 and TS2019.

I chose the EU paint scheme for my truck...

I'm still doing it as a per delivery basis, the difference being of course you can't jump around the board from one location to another. Maybe that is more realistic. At the moment I'm heading up into Finland, then maybe see if I can find something across the border into Russia from there.

Double post...

[haverfordwest]

Flaming EU, trust you Vern.

Much more realistic i would say buddy.

I think i went through Finland from St Petersburg, very nice.

Binned it, the mod kept blue screening the PC. No interest in a vanilla install.

Not my setup because TS2019 is running fine and so is Outlaws Of The Old West another Steam game i decided to re-install.

Sorry to hear that Mike. Wonder if the Windows update changed something which has affected the game. Might be worth forcing a video driver update in case M$ overwrote the Nvidia etc. one?

[haverfordwest]

Not sure Vern, i am wondering if it was ETS2 yesterday that stopped me re-booting. Rather than corruption from the power going down.

I might have re-installed Win10 for nothing buddy. Not to worry, worse things happen at sea

Latest vid driver installed from Nvidia, Vern thank you 431.60.

Just picked up a job from Ventspils (Latvia) to Barcelona which is around 3000km and all over land, no ferries involved. That will take a couple of evenings to complete!

To unlock the Heavy Haul truck upgrades you need to be around Level 15 or 16 and I'm still only around L11.

Re your PC issues Mike, I am treading wary of any mods that don't come from very reputable sites. I found a Cummins engine mod somewhere yesterday evening but luckily realised as I started to run the file it was trying to connect to another location probably trying to grab malware or ransomware. I hit reboot and luckily no damage done but lesson learned. Some of the Russian train sim sites were (are) a bit like that.

[haverfordwest]

About 1,800 miles then Vern, good distance buddy.

Yeah but you are getting there already on 11.

ProMods forum is a good place for other mods and pretty safe.

Stay well away from East European and Russian sites buddy.

Steam Workshop has some good ones, Vern.

PC locked up on me yesterday running Crewe - Holyhead.

So i maybe looking at something more than software problems.

Just run the whole NWC route in one go, so no idea what is occuring.

Well strange to relate, ETS2 playing up here earlier on. It took almost 10 minutes to load after clicking the desktop icon. The only mods I have installed are the Pro Mod one. Maybe there's been an update and it was rebuilding some files, but normally you get the "Ready to Launch In..." message.

[haverfordwest]

Strange one Vern, heck of a long loading time. Even if the game has been updated.

I just updated my BIOS, never been done since i had the mobo in 2014

If it plays nice this week, i will probably re-install ETS2.

Not playing Train Sims lately guys?
Choo choo train waiting 🚂

ETS2 is what the train sims should have offered... An infinite network opening up all sorts of possibilities along with "proper" career advancement. When you've taken a heavy load of goods from Latvia to Spain, passing through several countries en route having to plan your fuel and rest stops, spending 20 mins driving a HST from Paddington to Reading doesn't seem the same. Essentially it's Transport Tycoon, but you handle the deliveries (and later on hire more drivers to expand your business).

[haverfordwest]

Too much self interest in the train games. Far too much payware as well.

Everyone and his granny jumps on the bandwagon.

I could be wrong Vern, but the only payware i see in ETS2 is by the game creators.

Everything else is modded for free, including complete new drivable trucks.

Again correct me if you think i am wrong. But could you see anyone in the train games, completing a huge new array of routes and new features all for free.

Mike.
