We would like to point you to another time-lapse Euro Truck Simulator 2 video depicting a cargo delivery, created by one of our hard-working beta testers. The video is a bit grainy due to high compression rate, but quite cool nonetheless.
Meanwhile, ETS2 Steam Greenlight campaign continues. Don't worry, we are not really adding any zombies ;-)

Delete(Posting to the top)
DeleteHey SCS,
1) I noticed on the video that the guy who recorded it used full lights when there was incoming traffic. In real life, using full lights when there is incoming traffic could end up in getting a warning/ticket.
2) And in some countries, cars have to have lights on during the day too. (It's like this in Estonia, at least).
3) I hope the horn from German Truck Simulator comes back to the series, it was really good. Too bad STDS had the old horn.
Thanks. I've also e-mailed you guys some small suggestions(not as obscure as I've seen in replies here, on the blog).
Don't cry noob.
DeleteUm, i don't know whether u guys have tried European Bus simulator 2012 but it did have two very realistic feature n that was the tachograph which records every thing a truck driver does including if he was speeding or if he has avoided taking rests,etc and all of the previous scs games have had them but with no functionality, is this like some thing that scs software gonna implement on in ets2 or??
DeleteSecondly, the graphics and weather, i mean if rains, some vapor inform of fog builds up on the mirror and you have to turn on some heat on the windscreen in order to see what´s ahead of you, just speculating on this because all the videos have seen so far seems not to have this feature neither.
And lastly, where are the dirt effects and snow, not to forget to mention reparation and other services such as changing tires and oil after driving long distances as it was in rig n roll 3. I thought u guys postponed the game from march all the way to 4th quarter of 2012 so u can have the time to make the game as realistic as possible and I as being your number fan has been patient enough with every excuses you have come up with so far, so please, don´t disappoint me as your nr.one big scs software fan and the rest of the other millions of girls n boys out there with the final results....
Chris, seriously? you're 'expecting' this much from a small team not even a tenth the size of the team that made GTA4 and THEY couldn't even do all this?
DeleteI don't know about the rest of you, but I just want to drive around and maybe make belief for a few hours that this is my life and my truck.
Sure, I'd love all those features, and I'd expect them from a 150 man strong team, but not from SCS, at least not for another 5-10 iterations.
You want those features sooner, start learning about programming, 3d art design, sound design, and just do it...
It's taken 30 man years to make the game, and you're still not happy? You're not their number 1 fan, I've not said anything stupid to SCS once, and even I don't think I'm their number 1 fan. Probably in the top 50. You get some hard core fans out there ;)
DeleteThey've delayed it for a longer BETA stage, so if you want the game now, don't be surprised if you fall off the map whenever you enter certain places or you get tired every 30 seconds. Then you'd complain.
But if they delay it, you'd complain it took them ages to make. You can't let SCS win, can you?
Good to see that everyone talking abaut doubles in these replys...
DeleteTrue they are very silent about doubles, 1 post and then they stopped about it, so I fear it won't be in the game..
DeleteSame as some info for the editor, we have gotten 0 info or statements about the map editor, mod tools, etc for this game. It's that what keeps their games alive, so they could so some support for it at least.
And last, I could do this with a 2 man team: http://www.trucksimsforum.de/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=14385
So you think scs who are professinals can't do these things (placing and skinning signs ?)
Its those small things who require least effort that make a game realistic or not. Check Omsi; Grphics from the stone age, but such detailed bus and signs on the road, it is more realistic than all of scs games combined (and yes Omsi has been developed by 2 students)
First, that talk about doubles has be done to death already, just like the open-able windows and release dates, it's past the joke state and the annoying state, now it's just in the sad state...
DeleteAnd secondly, I'm making a game with my bro, and am thoroughly impressed by the sheer depth and attention to details we're putting in there. That said, thinking back I remember when UFO enemy unknown came out, and hearing it was made by two brothers, I'm starting to understand something. maybe it's easier for ppl that live together to do focused work, where as it's a completely different ball game when you have to manage employees, that each have their own ideas and values. At least to me, it sounds like this might make a huge difference.
So given the size of the game world they're making for us, and the number of trucks and possible variations with customization and all, not to mention the ability to manage a small company in game, I think it's fair to say they're giving us their A game.
On a personal note, I'm still worried about that level restriction on gear and trucks, as if cash wasn't enough. And also would like to know if you can set the speed of the auto-centering feature for the wheel for when playing with keyboard. But...But, you don't see me whine about these things in every blog posts, I mentioned it once (well twice now...duh) and that's it. They see it, they don't, it's not an issue, I'll see when the game comes, if it's not 100% to my liking, then big deal, what is...like ever...
Ziland
DeleteIn STDS is possible to change auto-center speed in config and controls.sii,but in ETS2 would be great that can be change in the options,for keyboard players.
I personally prefer slower auto-center when driving at high speed and faster a-c at slower speeds,in STDS I somehow managed to adjust and is much smoother and easier to steer with keyboard.With vanilla steering config I was little bit disappointed because the truck turning is too rough.
So Ziland are they in or out?

Every Landscape looks like the Other.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Hardly can see differences between countries.
DeleteOh come on, it takes nearly 2 hours to get from Bratislava to Birmingham,
DeleteTWO HOURS, do you know how long it takes to develop the country side for a TWO HOUR LONG RIDE? Neither do I, but I guess a long time.
Be happy with what you get, not disappointed with everything you don't get.
And just repeating; TWO HOURS IN REAL LIFE!
SCS said it took 30 MAN YEARS AND YOU ARE STILL COMPLAINING.
DeleteSome people posting in the posts in this SCS blog are so bloody ungreatful.

DeleteSeptember 3, 2012 8:42 PM
Every Landscape looks like the Other.
Your Wrong, the landscape is very nice. When the truck droved into Germany, there was a lot of trees around and also like the motorway at night, looks very realistic.
Landscape is good in ETS2 no need to change anything.
Lol Like in GTS the German City Duisburg have a Landscapes like in South Germany.
DeleteSCS cant Create a Realistic Map... because the Engine is Fail.
Second.
ReplyDeleteGood job SCS.
Beyond fail.
DeleteHe's third!!!

But if he thinks being 1st, 2nd or 3rd means anything, he needs to reevaluate his priorities in life. :P

ReplyDeleteAlready conseguie about 80 votes from my friends ... Thank you!
I cant wait to get this game
ReplyDeleteAnother treat, ty :)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very good game. I like the scenery and that video shows how much you can see and only two hours of playing. I really like this game. Let just wait it comes some day out.
ReplyDeletebah Damn u TruckerGal you're in the Beta! i'm not jealous at all :P.. anyways thanks for a great video :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Thought I'd share a bit, with SCS' blessing. (c:
DeleteMostly I try to find problems but I need a break now and then. Plus, in this trip I did not encounter any issue (apart from my own driving, ha!), so it was a good trip!
:D i would have done the same ;)
Deleteye there will always be small bugs, wich can't be squashed , but those are the ones we wouldn't really notice too much :) well TruckerGal you drove like a baws, much better then the excalibur publishing haha :D
sorry for coming in to this, but are you allowed to speak of truck license? i'm just curious wich ones are real licensed?
DeleteNice driving truckergal, I have not completed that route yet myself, but I am planning on doing it soon,I have just completed Verona To Kiel, then onto Dover which is a good drive :)
DeleteM@x
@jasmin: Thanks. Been driving these games for years, trying to keep it real. I can't really say much about licensed trucks, partly because it is not my place to do so, partly because, as mentioned here in the blog, they will keep trying until the last moment (and possibly beyond for all I know). Hopefully manufacturers will realise this only heightens brand awareness. (c:
Delete@MADxMAX: Thanks, and yeah, trying to combine routes to look for issues along with generic bughunting takes time, but nice long hauls are there for certain. (c:
So you drove in that vid? Cool! And grats on getting beta. :)
DeleteHad to rewatch it to see that track-ir was used, hehe, didn't notice the wheel becoming more and more visible as your head must be getting more and more heavy from the time spent driving. :P
Really nice driving though, didn't even do a 180 on the highway (as I often did in GTS)...heh
Yeah, all me, mistakes and all. (c; *hugs her G27 and TrackIR*
DeleteAh, I tend to vary a lot with the TrackIR, both the angle I wear it and the angle of my head. Better for my neck, heh!
Thanks. I try to keep it "real" and keep to the limit (except when bug-hunting!) but sometimes I get distracted and miss vehicles and speed signs... .c:
Great driving TruckerGal! Envious of your G27 and TrackIR. :)
DeleteSo you sit with a cap on your head??? Or is there a new version like a kinect without a cap? Great video btw.
DeleteDamn! Looks like I'm not a BETA. Oh well, it doesn't matter SCS, but if I ha any hope of being a beta of any of your games, do I need a Google account like those guys?
Deletealright i understand Truckergal, thanks for replying, really appreciate it :)
Delete@ Anonymous: There's two option, clip for a cap (I got one of those with just a band around the head) or a IR clip for headphones.
Delete@ Mark: Only got my that YT to upload videos for bug-hunts, but any video-site would work.
@ jasmin: No problem. (c:
Side note: The video was merely something I made (not enough disc-space to capture the whole trip real-time) and then showed to Pavel of SCS who liked it. It was not a deliberate attempt to make a promotion video on my half, more a memento for me, if you like. (c:
It looks ver good!!
ReplyDeleteBut the scania mirrors aren't realistic!
The size and the shape isn't right.
sorry to say this, but details are very important.

ReplyDeleteAt the day of release, i don't know when, but fine.
Please openable windows.
ReplyDeleteStop this!!SCS won't add openable windows.Because is useless (unuseful).
DeleteI think that it might add a little more realism, but for ETS2, it's completely pointless. Now, somewhere down the line, I wouldn't complain if windows would open, but for now, it's a waste of development.
DeleteReally? There are lot of things missing from real life and you suggest for openable windows?
Delete-How about random act of aggressive drivers?
-Dollys need to be down after unhooking a trailer
-Bugs in the windshield are lacking
-More realistic trailer hooking with dollys
-Random flat tires
-Random mechanical problems that result in tardiness
-Real inspection of the truck and trailer
-A real analog log book
-weight scale with random inspection
But nooo, lets go for windows in the cab, because it is more "realistic".
I dont hope to get all those things up.. but comon... windows? out of REAL things?
He never said anything about realism you stupid fuck. Just another douche on the internet bashing other people's comments to feel better about himself. If that wouldn't be the case, you wouldn't be pulling words out of your ass and present them as something someone else said.
DeleteWhat a joke. I'd like to be able to open the window a lot more than any of that unnecessary shit you just listed. Bugs in the windshield? Really? You suggest that and bash someone who suggested openable windows. Holy shit you are stupid.
I hope so much they will delay the game til next year, just because of your greedy bloody openable windows wish , we hear it everytime in every damn blog, but what mr. AnonymousSeptember 4, 2012 1:38 AM suggested sounds 100 times better having in a simulator, and Wow Sir you really lack realism, if you really prefer openable windows, then all the other features op posted, so to me it seems you are the dumb fuck, Well in that case, let's just hope they will delay the game for at least another 2 months, just so they can satisfy you too, i wouldn't mind honestly.
Delete@AnonymousSeptember 4, 2012 11:05 AM
DeleteYou'd vote on openable windows compare to all of the real things I mentioned? You sir are a genius!
Yes, bugs can sounds irrelevant to truck driving industries, but when you pass in a humid zone filled with bugs, it can be messy on the windshield. You probably took a drive in your mom's car many times and never see a single bug in her windshield, but get this, its all about wind resistance.
You want more realism in this game? How about a manual transmission operable with the mouse and double clutch system (in this case, lets say shift is the clutch). I bet you couldnt play that game for less than 2 minutes and be pissed about it!
There are thing way more important in this game that could be add BEFORE your stupid litle openable windows. Even truck drivers dont open those windows, the sound from the wind resistance of the truck on the highway is so too loud. It lacks interest to be even added up on this game.
@AnonymousSeptember 4, 2012 7:18 PM
DeleteAgain you are pulling stuff out of your ass. I have never claimed that I would want it for realism and either did the guy who suggested openable windows in the first place. Just shows what a jackass you are. Maybe you got valid points about those features, but it doesn't matter, because your brains are the size of a pea and can't comprehend what your eyes are reading.
And talking about moms, yours probably said you were the center of the earth and the best part is that you believed it.
@AnonymousSeptember 4, 2012 9:20 PM
DeleteYou are so funny, you make it look like I'm talking to 3 different anonymous, when infact I'm talking to the same person. I do not care if the guy mentioned realism or not, if you read ALL the threads in all the SCS blogs, you would notice that openable windows as been brought more than once. I actually have not read ALL the messages that people left. But I have seen the window BS so many time that it was time to piss off the guy who did. And obviously, it worked, so my work here is done. And what ever you say after, I will probably troll you again and again and again, because I have nothing else to do.
So please, keep pulling stuff out of your ass to make my time easier!
@AnonymousSeptember 4, 2012 7:18 PM
Deletepfft. you're nothing then a sad piece of lying trash, openable windows goes for the realism too, that's why the other fools mentioned it in the first place. Why the hell would u want it otherwise. Oh let me guess because you expect you can bloody smoke in the game too? and then you want the opportunity to open the damned windows.. you can't even admit it can you, cause you like to play mr. smart guy. Now do you self a good favor and apologize for calling him a dumb fuck, you started this war, now get what's coming to you, that dude only shared his opinion and u just had to be rude, cause ungrateful shitheads like you, can't agree on others suggestions, well that's very mature of you, and now he's trolling the shit out of you.. something that was unnecessary in the beginning.
Are you going to ask translators for Euro Truck Simulator 2 like you did with Scania Truck Driving Simulator?
ReplyDeleteyo gg visit STDS MODS http://www.gamemoding.netii.net/
ReplyDeletenice video scs
ReplyDeleteive also google too see how are is it
from Bratislava to Birmingham
and they say 2hrs in the game
in real life it 17 hrs an 34 mins
Plus compulsory brakes and rest periods ;)
DeleteI want to be tester too :) I will work almost for free :p I always find bugs and glitches in games.
ReplyDeleteAm also curious about the beta tester selection process.
DeleteEverybody wants to be a beta tester! Even me!
DeleteYeah, they're going to pick anonymous to be a BETA tester. '.'
DeleteTheres as much traffic at night as at day. Id like to see traffic jams at the rush hours :)
ReplyDeleteSure you do. But I bet you don't like to drive in it, especially when your cargo is timed to be somewhere else within a few hours.
DeleteBoth of you got a point, but traffic jams... I'm not a great fan of that, more traffic, yeah, I think that's a good idea.
DeleteI don't exactly like the idea of a traffic jam. Sure, it would sound realistic, but if you guys ever drive a car on your own, it is very unpleasant to sit in a traffic jam especially when you are the driver. Happened to me lots of times and it is always a huge pain in the ass. I wouldn't want that to happen in the game too.
DeleteSome areas with more traffic (which would then slow the traffic's pace a bit) would be great, but not the ones where you move one meter a minute.
I do thats a good idea.
DeleteI don't really want traffic jams. But heavy traffic where the speed may become limited to around 20mph on a motorway during peek times would add a more realism, without the tedium of sitting in stationary tailbacks.
DeleteIt would also make you more mindful of when you accept the harder deliveries. Though for that to really work, there would need to be more smaller roads as alternate routes, let it play into the risk-reward. Do you risk a 4pm 2hr delivery window down the M62 in rush hour, or take a longer route on single lane roads that would be quieter?
Can someone please tell me if Euro Truck Simulator 2 will work on my computer? Its Windows 7 Packar Bell Easy Note. Its Ram 4.00 GB with 64 bit operating system. Thanks for anyones help in advance. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but if you have any hope of getting a answer, you need to tell us your graphics card.
DeleteWe also need to know the CPU and graphics card type. We cant just tell you from the info you gave us.
DeleteSorry, but where do I find the information about my graphics card on my computer? Thanks for the replies @Mark and @ICanHelpMaybe :)
DeleteU cam go to www. Systemrequirementslab.com or Google :can i run it. And u click in a game and sroll down to see the spesc of your computer ( cpu gpu etc)
DeleteIgnore anonymous, if you go to the start menu, right click on computer-properties and you should see it somewhere.
DeleteOkat thanks Mark/Anonymous Its 2.10 ghz I think if I have the right thing ;)
Delete2.10 ghz sounds like that may be your processor speed. As far as the GPU goes, the only thing I can suggest is go to the properties again, and click "Device Manager" in the top left corner, from there you can click on "Display Adapters", and that should tell you what GPU(s) you have.
DeleteAnonymous September 4, 2012 10:02 AM :
DeleteYour suggestion of "Can I Run It", is more than a little useless, as it doesn't even have ETS2 listed.
Very nice video and for such a big distance there are a lot narrow roads, and a big variety of landscapes!
ReplyDeleteIt is really a big improvement from ETS GTS period.
a small favor: could you please replace those unrealistic red enclosures for the unloading areas with those ground perimeters from scania truck? makes it more real life-like...
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteI am just curious if traffic offenses are that fast like in STDS. E.g. You drive 90 km/h into a 50 km/h, 1 meter past the road sign and you get a punishment. Same if you drive 51 km/h for just 2 seconds and you will have a bill on your ass. But now in ETS2, driving 2 hours and your have drivin only to pay your punishments. Will be a disappointment in fun and your pocket in ETS2.
ReplyDeleteNice trip and finally somebody who really knows how to drive a truck. :)
ReplyDeletePLEASE SCS, tell us the specs of the computer who recorded the gameplay.
Two thumbs up! Great driving and clip. It is really hard to imagine the amount of work behind this simulator. The physics, lighting, shadows, traffic etc etc. Amazing! Why haven't any of the major gaming sites picked up on this? Someone like Rock Paper Shotgun should do a story, preview or something on ETS 2. They really should. ETS 2 feels like a hidden gem that needs to be displayed out there. My credit card is waiting in anticipation of release. :)
ReplyDeleteJust sent an email to RPS. Hope they pick up on it and decide to do a story. Fingers crossed. :)
DeleteIts kind of weird but after a lot of years playing all kinds of games, it felt like a breath of fresh air when I found ETS1, of all the places, I find that a truck simulator is far more gratifying an experience and worth my time, more than the standard cutNpaste games out there. Feels like I've had too much frosting, now I need some cake!
DeleteTotally agree Ziland. A breath o fresh air is a good way to describe it.
Deletegreat video.. crappy music, but great video :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice video. Keep up the amazing work Developers, Beta Testers and everyone involved.
ReplyDeleteThere should be more traffic on roads!
ReplyDeleteThey should do something like you can chose how much traffic do you want, light, medium and heavy.
DeleteAlso thought the traffic density was light. S7efan, that is a good suggestion.
DeleteI would like it to be dynamic, as in heavier density at specific times/days, eg: before the start of the business day in cities, Friday evenings, around festival days (would be different for different regions/cities). Maybe, that is too complex.
Maybe for ETS 2 but for ETS 3, +1
DeleteGreat video, I'm glad to see that the tester used a wheel to record this session (also, damn fine driving!)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if you devs ever feel you want to do something with zombies, why don't you develop a zombie carnage truckin' game similar to Exor Studios' Zombie Driver? Just out of pure fun, and (with any luck) profit. ;D
Nice video SCS, i hope you will release the game this month. :D
ReplyDeleteCan`t whait to play with all those beautiful trucks, except the Magnum, i don`t like it. It will be a hard choice between Scania and Volvo but Actros is a nice truck too and i like the engine sound.
S7efan do you think we will be able to pick our favorite truck in the very beginning, or we will have to start with a poor rusty one, our company gives us? :D heh i know wich one i would go with
DeleteHi Scs, Great video. This is the best truck simulator game so far :D But i think it will be better if you make the street more wet, the reflection of the wet street when or after a rain :) (sorry for my Eng.)
ReplyDeleteNice video, TruckerGal. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGeneral observation - Most of the other trucks are too slow and they go past in a blur. Would like to see trucks maintain similar speeds. In the one instance where the truck maintains a similar speed (2:44), it remains for around 15 seconds (~110 minutes gametime - not bad), then suddenly takes off.
Similarly, didn't see other vehicles maintaining the same pace as the trucks. Some cars go past fast, not all.
Unrelated - In STDS, cars overtake you (the truck) wonderfully on a two-way road. Also, they flash lights to signal you (the truck) when you're trying to get into a main road (and waiting for you to complete the turn).
Nice touches, just noticed them.
Well, like in real life you'll never catch those keeping same speed... (c:
DeleteAs for that truck taking off, he had a box trailer, I had a tanker trailer and a feeble little engine. I blew past him at the fuel station, though. (c; Beyond that I can't really say.
Cars do overtake on a two lane road too, but only if they are a clear shot -- mostly. Some cars overtake slower, others fly by so fast they'd lose their licence if caught. dc:
Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond, TruckerGal.
DeleteJust to be clear, the comments were for SCS and were not on your driving style. :-)
I like the explanation for the truck speeds with respect to their trailer sizes, just that it was a little too abrupt (considering I couldn't notice any traffic ahead of it all the while).
In real life, based on my observation (US), you observe different groups of vehicles maintaining similar speeds, and their momentum is usually broken by tolls, exits, splits/merges, traffic (or a sudden road rage).
Overall, I like how the AI has improved.
I was wondering what is the deadline for distribution in Brazil, after its distribution in Europe? I hope it is pretty fast, keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteGood video of a very good game from the best of truck sim developer (SCS).
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to play the game.

Hello eveybody:
ReplyDeleteI have a question,what is "zombies" mean?
Sorry I dont know,I'm honestly.
Zombies = living dead. Don't worry about it. It was just a joke from SCSSoft.
DeleteAlaaaaaf peeps! Realeseeee dateeeeeee!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Amazing work you are doing. Keep it up and cant wait till it is released! just one question, how many gears will the trucks have up to? e.g 12 gears, 14 gears, 18 gears...
ReplyDeleteThanks again:)
12 gears.
Deletei would love to have 18 with a split/range mix gearbox..
Deletesorry to question you again, but this video of when crossing the netherland dam in a mercedes actros shows that the truck has 14 gears?
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=_XZc5h2TCII
PLEASE STOP with this time compression rubbish. It does not give you any idea of what the game/simulator is actually is like. Lets see a video of a smaller distance delivery, lets hear the sounds of the trucks, not this crappy music that you continue to use. Are the truck sounds so bad that you have to use this crappy music to cover it up ? We all know the scenery is good, but what about other things. How can we see if there is a change in how the AI act, if the only time you see them they are going so fast ? And most importantly when is the bloody release date ? How much longer can you keep holding the released date back ? Not giving a release date is just plain stupid, you keep telling us you are a small team, and only have limited resources, but for some reason you do not want to release it ! Surely you want a return on all this work, so why not release now ? Are there that many bugs ? However long you wait there will be a few bugs slip through the net, so release now and then do what every other game developer does and fix with patches as an when bugs are found.

ReplyDeleteThat's a pity pas many de montée , de pente, quite a steep hill on the road.
Congratulations for the work even when
Thank.
I dont understand you.
DeleteHe's saying there aren't enough hills, the roads look too flat, as if the game is simulating Holland. :P
DeleteHe's right though, but for SCS to do this properly, they'd have to completely change their approach to road making in this game, wouldn't be able to use prefabs anymore...
"He's right though, but for SCS to do this properly, they'd have to completely change their approach to road making in this game, wouldn't be able to use prefabs anymore..."
DeleteThat would be awesome. I really wish worldbuilding for the SCS games was more like how it is in the various Train Simulators (ie Trainz/TRS). They're amazing to develop worlds for where the truck games are a relative nightmare.
When is the release.I now its September , but whats the date???
ReplyDeleteGreetings from bulgaria :)))
Great work SCS, but I can't wait for Euro Truck Simulator 2 to be released. Please try to release it on before 20 September, all of us wait to much for this awesome game to be released, at least try to release a demo version please.
ReplyDeleteContinue your great work !!!
We want release date.............we want release date....
ReplyDeleteGot an idea folks (who are interested in release date). As SCS influenced us to vote on steam with a banner. Why don't we design a same asking about release date? maybe that'll break their silence to speak about the release date.
What is it with release dates? you want a number to put on your wall and worship to every evening before going to sleep? how about 42? worked for hitchhiker. Or 28, the one they've already given? Even better 2432349082340891240289430...there, just pick one and go...run...
DeleteThis and the bloody open-able window whines...who are these people?
How about
Deleteno.
I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePLEASE! Release it! I CAN'T WAIT NO MORE! hahaha :P
Thanks to the beta testers TruckerGal and MadxMax. Keep up the good work and give us some more videos,maybe in realtime.
ReplyDeletecan't wait for it BUT
ReplyDeleteDevelop 18 WHEELS OF STEEL 2 after ETS 2 . . . Think of the US a little :P
Facepalm.
DeleteTypical American. That game was released nearly a year ago.
Mark, think you're referring to the Extreme Trucker versions of 18 WoS. American Long Haul was the last full 18 WoS game and that was released in Dec 2011.
DeleteAnonymous, the quote from SCS blog previously when Extreme Trucker 2 was being developed. Am assuming it applies to the rest of the series too.
"Extreme Trucker 2 is a project commissioned by ValuSoft. While SCS is the developer, we do not decide on the features and we do not own the resulting product; it belongs to the game's publisher - the game is created on order and budget provided by ValuSoft."
Jose S, wrong! American Long Haul was released in 2009.
DeleteAnyway, USA is quite boring.
There have been dozens of games in that setting.
I would like to see Canada more, or like 1970's America.
How do u choose the beta testers? They are from your company ( game makers) or other people?Thankz for nice videos and maybe u will drive a little bit with the exterior camera. Do the best with the game.
ReplyDeleteYou did a nice job on imrpoving graphics, AI, lightning, trailers, traffic,signs (however you could still do some effort on this one)
ReplyDeleteBut you forgot your old prefabs scs..
Those highway exits are soo USA and totally not EU (going from 2 to 1 lane and then back to 2) In europe we have an extra lane for exits and entrances at the highway
Scs you should totally take a look at this and finally make some decent updated prefabs or at least a prefab editor like the one the russians have made...
This is how EU roads should look like
http://www.trucksimsforum.de/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=14385
If, I as an amateur modder, can do things like these, you should be able to do it aswell scs.
I am not saying you should delay ETS2 further and I know you can't do it all, but perhaps some ideas for your updates or patches.
I am mostly buying this game to mod it, I hope you have made it mod friendly again (still no info about map editor etc ??).
Hey SCS ! Why mp/h ???? need km/h!!!! Its Europe
ReplyDeleteThat's a British truck, if you haven't noticed already.
DeleteRight hand drive, the unit of measurement - mile. Left hand drive - kilometer. IMHO
Deletethats cool ,but its (shity is no multiplayer)if you wont make a multiplayer pls release someday multiplayer patch and sell i will buy and i thing a lot more poeple will buy
ReplyDeleteone multiplayer truck game i know its shity gta sa:mp
bad graphics no physic of truck but anyway great job guys
the best truck game on the world

ReplyDeleteAgain, empty roads. It is not enough traffic. Bored here so go on an empty road with 3-5 machines. And it turns out, the gas to the floor, and occasionally call in the night. Interesting to drive when there is passing the stream of cars, traffic jams, to feel that you are taking part in the game.
ReplyDeleteSorry for my english...
I've driven about 4+ times from Gothenburg (Sweden) to Nantes (France) and back again IRL by car, and the roads weren't jam packed either, looks pretty realistic to me tbh.
Deletewhy is there same amount of traffic night and day? not realistic at all..

ReplyDeleteThe approximate 'real' time it takes between the countries:
DeleteThe video is 7.25 minutes long (without intros) -> 7.25x16 = 116 Minutes (Less than 2 Hours)
16 = Scale
}
0:15 - Start (Slovakia)
0:38 - Czech Republic
2:20 - Germany
4:32 - Belgium
5:10 - France
5:52 - England
7:40 - Destination Reached
}
0.38(Czech Republic) - 0.15(Slovakia) = 23 Seconds x16 = 4.08
[4 Minutes 8 Seconds from Slovakia to Czech Republic]
2.20(Germany) - 0.38(Czech Republic) = 1.42 Minutes x16 = 23.12
[23 Minutes 12 Seconds from Czech Republic to Germany]
4:32(Belgium) - 2.20(Germany) = 2.12 Minutes x16 = 34.32
[34 Minutes 32 Seconds from Germany to Belgium]
5.10(France) - 4:32(Belgium) = 38 Seconds x16 = 7.2
[7 Minutes 20 Seconds from Belgium to France]
5.52(England) - 5.10(France) = 42 Seconds x16 = 7.12
[7 Minutes 12 Seconds from France to England]
7.40(Dest.) - 5.52(England) = 1.48 Minutes x16 = 24.08
[24 Minutes 8 Seconds from England to Destination]
4.08 = Slovakia -> Czech Republic
23.12 = Czech Republic -> Germany
34.32 = Germany -> Belgium
7.2 = Belgium -> France
7.12 = France -> England
24.08 = England -> Destination
--------
101.32 Minutes from Bratislava to Birmingham. (1 Hour 40 minutes)
I might be wrong, but it's just my calculation ;)
Yeah, it's wrong, because you can't handle with sexagesimal numbers as they were decimal. For example, if video without intro and outro is 7 minutes and 25 seconds long, you can't say it's 7.25 minutes long. In fact is 7.42 minutes long. You know... 30 seconds are not 0.3 of minute, but 0.5 of minute. ;-)
DeleteBut let's say the time is really compressed 16x, although we don't know it, you are probably right and it makes sense. So here we go:
country|start|end|compressed_time|real_time
-------------------------------------------
SK|0:00:15|0:00:38|0:00:23|0:06:08
CZ|0:00:38|0:02:20|0:01:42|0:27:12

Total|0:00:15|0:07:40|0:07:25|1:58:40
So 1 hour and 58 minutes (and 40 seconds) from Bratislava to Birmingham. :-)
Oh yea I see where I've done it wrong, thanks for helping me out.
Delete23 x 16 = 368 <- I've taken away 8 so it rounds up to 60 and made it 4.08 what a mistake :).
No problem. :-D Anyway, really huge map! Hats off.

You guys are forgetting that there are compulsory rest periods, you can only drive a set number of hours per day between rest periods.
DeleteTrucks are mostly limited to 90kph which they can only do on some roads like motorways.
Assuming you could somehow keep 90kph without ever deviating below that speed 1798km would be as near as dam it 20 hours (19.97h) of just driving plus at least one rest period.
Really you would be lucky to average ~70 to ~75kph across minor & major roads which is as near a dam it 24 hours driving at 75kph average or ~25.7 hours at 70kph average, which assuming you started the journey at the start of a working day would be 2 rest periods.
I mean hey great game but .. umm emm err can i get a few zombies blease ? (and a pumpgun and a chain saw etc., you know all that nifty stuff needed to handle them).
ReplyDeleteThen how about renaming the game as Euro Zombie killing Simulator
DeleteRecently I visited your SCSSoft web page and was wondering why no banners or even any information regarding the upcoming ETS2. So I thought to write it about in here.
ReplyDeleteTo get more votes on Steam Greenlight, it would be good if you guys (SCS people) put one of your ETS2 Greenlight banners on your Official SCS website (www.scssoft.com)Home page. Its only
a suggestion or request (whatever you wanna call it.)

ReplyDeleteSCS I see there is an error with the timing for the euro tunnel journey, its ~35mins, but in the video departure was ~19:11h and arrival was at ~19:16h, which is just 5 min’s or 30min’s to fast [not using time-zones]
DeleteOr if using time-zones:
It’s 30min to slow – i.e. if departing France at ~19:11h CEST arrival in the UK would be 18:46h BST [19:46h CEST] + 30mins error = 19:16h BST [20:16h CEST]
If you email an NDA for me to sign and return, I will quite happily test the game for you and root-out little errors like this and report them ;) lol
I think everyone here would :P
Deleteso SCS if your at it pls send me it aswell.
I also alpha tested the Rising Storm mod for
Red Orchestra 2 :P
Just remember if you adjust this little error as you call it, there is many other thing to think about. The time to latest deliver should be less, the time to arrivel should be less. The time to when you need to sleep should be less, and if everything should be right, you should be 35 min less sleepy. So a little error is now a huge error that will not be corrected before release.
DeleteAnonymous - September 4, 2012 9:55 PM:
DeleteIt says quite clearly at 5:50 in the video that it should take 35mins which is comparable to real life times for the journey, that means the ETS2 clock should change by 35mins given you are warped from e.g. France to the UK or vice versa, there really should be NO fundamental problem with reflecting the journey time of 35mins given you are “warped” from one place to the other, if they can add 5mins to the ETS2 clock then they can add 35mins to the ETS2 clock instead.
Now I seem to recall there are also ferries in ETS2 perhaps they also take just 5mins on the ETS2 clock? but e.g. Amsterdam (IJmuiden) to Newcastle UK ferry time is ~16 ½ hours (the only regular ferry service out of Ijmuiden to the UK in real life) – FYI: in real life on long ferry crossings you can take your compulsory rest period “if you have a cabin”, so you can leave the ferry with a FULL driving day ahead.
If there is a problem that all/most delivery journeys from the UK to Europe (or vice versa) get broken because you cannot make them in time then that’s a fundamental problem with the time that has been allotted for delivery journey and NOT a fundamental problem with reflecting the correct expected “time” for the allotted rail or ferry service on the ETS2 clock.
Please, can you use a Volvo next time? :P lol
ReplyDeleteAnd, RELEASE IT, of course :)
Like many others, I can't wait anymore......
Game was removed from Greenlight.
ReplyDeleteIt's still on Greenlight, but it took me three checks under Simulation for it to show up. Scania was there every time though ...
DeleteDay -10 before the exit of the play, I am in a hurry
ReplyDelete10 Tage in seiner vraix
DeleteI too am eager to be able to play there
ReplyDeleteADD VIDEO OF BEACONS WORKING. PLEASE.
ReplyDeleteGood Idea :D
DeleteTrust me, the beacon is just AWESOME in this game.
DeleteWhen truck come agains you in the night, my beacon light up the hole cabin in that truck. So nice..
Can I run Euro truck sim 2 on my laptop Acer Aspire 5810tg?Or I should buy a new one?Plz help. Thankz for your help.Whith best regards Oliver
ReplyDeleteYou have to wait untill SCS release a demo. It's the only way to test if your PC support or not ETS2. This because on the web a lot of people say "It run perfectly on my PC" or "It's shit cause it have only 20 fps"...the only way is try by yourself.
DeleteHope to be useful :)

ReplyDeleteWow this video was breathtaking! Beautiful work guys, I am in awe! I can't wait to drive in this game!
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me what is the price of ETS2?
ReplyDeleteI would assume something like $30-$40 USD.

Dear SCS.
On this screnshot is visible that the truck have "diagnostics",I wonder if will be only damage diagnostic like in ETS,GTS or it can be ablebe to wear truck parts such as engine,tires,brakes,suspension and their impact on driving performance.Eg realistic engine overheating,worn-out tires causes more slipping,excessively braking causes the faster brakes wasting so that we more prefer a engine brake,after all that we must carefully manage with truck and service vehicle parts with time if want to safely deliver cargo on time.
Frankly,I do not expect all this possibilities directly in upcoming game,but if the sale was good it would not be bad to try add these possibilities later in the game,I think this would make even more realistic and interesting gameplay.
Sorry for my english.
-----------------
It should be cool to hire 1 or more engineers into your company which will help you out when you or your hired drivers are having problems with the truck on the way to destiny or just at the company itself. He has his own service caddy to drive to you and help you getting back on the road ASAP. The more skills the engineer have the faster he is able to fix your truck but also it will cost more in price of course. All truck parts he needs to use will cost you as well just like real life.
Beside of this, it would be cool to see random tower trucks with a truck hanging behind them. Just suggestions for ETS3 someday :)
http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/09/05/steam-greenlight-submission-fee/
ReplyDeleteValve’s indie game voting system Greenlight has received hundreds of submissions from developers since its launch on August 30, but users eager to vote for games they’d like to see added to Steam’s catalog were also confronted, perhaps not too surprisingly, with fake and/or offensive entries from pranksters. As a result, Valve has updated its terms and now requires a $100 fee in order to submit a game to Greenlight (the fee is not retroactive, so anyone who submitted a game for consideration before the fee was implemented won’t have to pay it). In another bid to reduce the “noise and clutter” from Greenlight, the queue window of unrated games has shrunk to just a dozen.
Valve also stated that it will donate the collected fees to Child’s Play, a charity that brings toys, consoles, and games to children in hospitals around the world. “We have no interest in making money from this, but we do need to cut down noise in the system,” UI Designer Alden Kroll said in a separate post.
Steam’s community, though supportive of the update, carries just enough healthy divisiveness for discussion. “I guess I’d rather submit a game to Desura or sell it through the Humble Store before taking the risk of paying $100 so a group of trolls can downvote my game and it doesn’t even make it on Steam,” one comment states.
“This is a really good change,” another poster says. “$100 seems a little high to me, but any developer completely serious about getting their games onto Steam should be able to pay it. Greenlight isn’t the place for mods or freeware games anyway.”
Excalibur Publishing changed the release date of ETS2 from 28.09.12 to 19.10.12 http://www.contactsales.co.uk/EXCALIBUR_PRODUCT_LIST.htm
ReplyDeleteThat means SCS has more time to fool people around and make more jokes about zombies. Who's laughing now?

Deletethere its still 28.09.12.. i really dont find it funny.. the game looks for me nearly finished.. scs does not tell us whats on there todo/tofix list still..
in germany the date reads 13.11.12, there 28.09.12 or 19.10.12.. let me guess.. the real date will be x.02.13? -.-
i would love some info on that from the publischers or scs.. oh well.. its killing me.. ;)
