A little bit rusty after a couple of years away from ETS. Which buttons are nice to bind to my wheel, which are fine to have on the keyboard and which are fine to drop if I'm not looking for perfect simulation? Related to that, I hit reset to default on truck settings before checking what they were before my break. How should I tune them if I want a realistic experience that doesn't veer into annoying (I remember, for example, that the detour setting just kinda sucks, even if you'd theoretically run into detours while trucking in the real world)?  Not asking anyone to go through every setting!! Just reckoned I'd post them for reference. Edit: ok my own posts from two years ago are just five pages back, this thread doesn't move fast. Still, leaving it up in case someone has more input. Black Griffon fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Oct 23, 2023 |

If you got a force feedback wheel you should try to put driveshaft torque at about 50%, makes for a really cool experience. I would personally also lower the truck and trailer stability to around 50% and lessen the suspension stiffness. I personally disable the detours completely, they suck.

Can be entirely optional with judicial use of CC settings or turning off air-brake sim e: people turn detours off because the implementation isn't good. Some roads really don't have viable alternatives (OK just do a full lap of the entire city and region and come on the other ramp) because of map simplification. They can also be weird in that you'll join a road after the warning and just .. turn up at the problem with few options. I still leave them on and quickload anything bullshit but YMMV. I tend to buff the rain frequency a little because it's pretty, especially with a mod for it. New since you last played (I think) are various settings for autobrake and auto keep-distance.

Excellent, thanks to you both! On the subject of Promods: I've been running regular europromods so far and I'm curious about The Great Steppe and The Middle East. How well do they integrate with the rest of the map and game? I saw a post on the promods site that said there's no road connections between TGS and Europe, for example, and I feel like that would sort of take away from the feeling of just driving where the road takes you.

The Middle East segment connects via ferry to Europe in various cities. Never got The Great Steppe to work. Frankly with the latest DLC adding the rest of the Balkans I'm probably just not going to bother running Promods any more as the tiny towns it adds can be buggy and there's not that much big real estate left that isn't covered by the base game (off the top of my head, Ireland, the aforementioned Middle East pack with Israel, a bit of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, and some far northern bits of Scandinavia). Plus it's a pain in the arse going through their paywall every time ETS patches.

Promods adds more Norway so it's pretty much mandatory imo.

I never got my head around how to download them. I'm guessing paying for them is mandatory? Granted, with the release of the new DLC, I can't use them anymore now anyway, lol.

Lum_ posted:The Middle East segment connects via ferry to Europe in various cities. Never got The Great Steppe to work. You really do forget how they used the same 3 intersection designs - none of which are true to life - to cover 90% of the map until you play without it one time and see. I tend to use steam's beta version feature to freeze ETS to a specific version after a major update, and ignore the smaller updates until I can be bothered to babysit the downloads. This also stops new DLC from turning it off.

It isn’t, it’s just multiple large files and you’re throttled from grabbing mire than I think two at a time. They’re also hosted on an ad-ridden malware infested thing where you can pay to download faster. It’s like Minecraft modding a few years ago.

It's one dollar to not have to think about the download, but if you're doing something else you can just queue the downloads in the background for free. Also use adblock.

I might try again once I get West Balkans, though I don't know when that might be. I have to admit that the main appeal is the revamped UK, since the original version isn't very good even in comparison to the rest of the base map.

Stupid question probably, but is there a way to adjust the cruise control speed with an xbox controller? I know I can turn CC on by pressing X, but I can't seem to bind the increase/decrease speed to a button, at least not with the in-game settings, I have to use the keyboard for it. Is there something simple I'm missing or can you just not do that with a gamepad

I didn't have any problems binding the speed to my controller. What's the issue, exactly? The binding screen doesn't recognize the button press? The button doesn't seem to actually do anything in-game?

I want them to use all those ETS/ATS assets to create a roguelike trucking experience where the route from A to B goes through a number of pocket dimensions that pull from every avaliable location, with radically different times of day, weather and traffic patterns. You're driving through Austria and then boom, you're in Kansas in the middle of a snowstorm, blam, you're in Br*tain and have to veer through traffic to drive on the right side of the road, blam, you're in cyrodiil

Has anyone else's ATS seemed noticeably choppier since the latest patch? I don't have any mods or the latest DLC and I only have a budget laptop, but it was generally quite smooth before. I'm not sure what my graphics settings was before but it seems to even have a bit of an issue on medium.

I don’t think it was happening before, not sure what’s up. It’s just minor enough that it doesn’t quite take me out of the game, but it is noticeable. I have a 3070 and ryzen 5something, should be more than enough to play smoothly on High I’d think

I'm thinking it was probably my computer doing something dumb in the background but I'll keep an eye on it. Interesting to hear that it's not just me though!

I have no issues at all running at 4k on ultra with 200% scaling. Verify the files on Steam, this game has a tendency to get corrupt files during large patches.
