Is this game easy to play with a mouse and keyboard Vern, or, are you using a proper wheel?

Well, I haven't got a gamepad that works anymore on my PC, I bodged it up somehow ages ago, so, kbm will have to do, thanks for that, Vern.

I have a next to new racing wheel and pads I'm willing to offer for a deal. Comes in the original box. I bought it for iRacing but decided not to continue in it. PM me if anyone is interested and shoot me an offer.
Thanks

Now this is going to be a nice challenge for the 5070. First time venturing off the Michigan starter map to the next area, Smithville Dam. Big load of bricks and lumber.
Wish me luck!Vern.Comment

Sean, if you and/or your son are getting back into ATS, you might want to hang on to that wheel. Setting up a wheel and pedals for the game isn't too hard and really makes it come alive.
Also, if you and your son both enjoy it, built-in multiplayer (private as well as public) is in beta testing right now. It should allow you to set up your own private instance and run together. Looking more interesting than the mess that is TruckersMP, the unofficial multiplayer mod.MSTS-Roundhouse (Technical Difficulties, Please Stand By)

Yeah the RD is sitting on the shelf and the wheel is in a box some place. I have to admit being reclined is very comfortable
In the iRacing it was different because it was intense and competitive and you really needed it to even be competitive though I often battled at the back of the pack most times.
I think I did run it once on the wheel and peddles and enjoyed it. For me thought I think I'll just stick to the jerky keyboard. If I could ever get a gizmo that would attach to my lazy boy and slide over my gut in the chair I may just try that again
Thanks

Nice 1941 Ford F6, but looks dumb with modern trailers.

See there are two big updates on Steam for both ATS and ETS2 in my Steam download list (several Gb).
I assume that means there have been some major overhauls carried out to the game(s) - hopefully the sound on ETS.Vern.Comment

Both games updated to v1.44 Vern. Both not installed here, so no idea what they have added or improved on sorry.
What don't you find acceptable with the sounds Vern ? At least when the cab window is open in the trucksims, it affects the percieved sounds.
In TRS2022, makes no difference open or shut. Same muffled sounds regardless.

It's been a while since I played them now Mike, but when they went over to FMod, something horrible happened to the default sounds in ETS2, not so much ATS. Very tinny and seemed to go straight from idle to full revs.
I guess I will need to fire up and take a look though my saved games probably won't work any more!Vern.Comment

I agree the conversion to FMOD left the default sound sets in a sorry state. Fortunately, enough time has passed that there are several sound mod creators who've come up with excellent replacements for the defaults and for many mod trucks.
For an idea of how strangely bad the default SCS Software sound mixing is, there's a sound mod for the Iveco Stralis, a truck I drive frequently in ETS2. One of the sound mod experts took the default SCS sounds and just re-mixed the sound set. It's like night and day, for the better.MSTS-Roundhouse (Technical Difficulties, Please Stand By)

Thanks Eric. If I can drag myself away from the current Big 3 (Run 8, Snowrunner & TSW) I will take a look.Vern.Comment

Vern, first of all what is that horrendous piccie you have as an avatar
I only drive older truck mods, with their own sounds. So no idea if the default truck sounds are good or bad buddy.
I also use the https://ets2.lt/en/sound-fixes-pack-v22-36-1/ mod and have done for a while.
None of it installed at the moment though.
