Thanks to everybody who considered Euro Truck Simulator 2 worthy of purchase! Whether you have bought the game in any of the digital editions, or the box version in a store in your country, you are casting a vote of support for us to continue improving our truck simulators.
Yesterday, we felt the urge to make a small gathering in a corner of our office and drink a toast to celebrate. There was a reason to celebrate - sales from www.eurotrucksimulator2.com just exceeded 2 thousand copies (in about 15 hours since midnight launch), and seeing our game high in the sales charts on sites like Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk, CD Galaxis, Empik, Gama-Gama, Orange.fr, Spelbutiken, or JRC, the afternoon felt really special after working on the game for so long.
You may be curious if we are just resting and doing nothing now that the game is out, but this is definitely not the case. For illustration, here is a subset of "commits" placed into our Subversion database over the past couple of days. You can see that among other things, we are working on improving multi-monitor support, adding support for Asian languages, fixing bugs in our QA database, and generally still focusing on general improvements of ETS2.

first! please add cheats
ReplyDeletesecond, remove idiots from playing the game!
Deletewhats wrong with having cheats?
DeleteHmm... my favourite part of ETS 2 is clawing your way up which cheating completely defeats. When you think about physiology (spelt right?) you want to have levels, earning money and slowly unlocking new things, if you don't then people will want to stop playing. Don't believe me? Ask the man who spent so long trying to complete a game it killed him.
DeleteNothing wrong with having cheats in itself, but I have to agree with Mark here. The experience of working your way to the top is what makes it exciting. Just bought a slow truck with a bank loan; And I like being stuck with it for a while. The strong, powerful stylish truck is out of reach for now. And I like it this way. Keeps me interested in the sim for much much longer. Theres no hurry. It's the journey to the goal that excites me. Not the goal. :)
DeleteBut, if someone plays for their own enjoyment. Who is to say they can't play with cheats? That's like someone buying, I don't know, a bottle of pepsi; and then having people telling how and when they may drink it. It's bull***t. There are many games (usually action oriented), that I have bought and will use trainers and cheats until I get the hang of the game mechanic. Admittedly, it is rare event indeed that I will cheat on a driving game; simply because I WAS a truck driver, and I couldn't cheat there so why would I do it on a game? But, my original point still stands. If you play a certain way, DON'T tell others that they should play the way you do.
DeleteHere you go:
Deletepavelthemodder.blogspot.com/2012/10/ets2-screenshots.html
P.S. But I'd ask you to play fair.
Pavel, please don't reply to the first comment just so you can be at the top.
DeleteDon't be so stupid use Cheat Engine 6.2. well it worked for me, I hacked money and levels.
DeleteMark, I replied not to be at the top, I replied because they asked about cheats.
DeleteOh yeah sorry.
Deletei would love to be able to have a free roam option to explore with a trailer attached , whilst not on a JOB. great game btw
DeleteI like mods, I really do, but I don't want to waste my hard earned money yo test a crappy mod.
DeleteI always had 2 accounts, one to play and the other with 9 bilion euros so I can test the mods.
Cheats would be nice and after all, you don't HAVE to play with cheats and saying cheats aren't nice for the game is pretty selfish in my opinion...
I was curious where we can report bugs as I cannot find a way to disable the Y axis on my joypad from being acceleration. There is just no way to disable, only assign it to another axis. :(
ReplyDeleteMaximize the deadzone for Y axis
DeleteThe simplest way is to temporarily assign X axis to the acceleration. This will remove the Y axis from it. Then you can assign X back to the steering.
Deleteonly men in your office!
ReplyDeleteFunny that's the first thing I noticed too!
DeleteSCS needs to add purchasing of trailers, and freight contracts. also being able to paint and texture (logos) onto your fleet of trucks and trailers to create a real feel of owning a company.
ReplyDeleteHas been very good,spectacular driving at night,Good luck scsteam.

is there a bug on the renault premiums i can only have 4x2 chassis there is no 6x2 sob.
ReplyDeleteYou have all rights to celebrate Congrats :) Awesome Simulator
ReplyDeleteBtw i have a question if anybody minds answering it:
If you go to the Graphics section in the Options, and Choose Advanced Settings, what does Scaling mean in ( % ) ? like 125, 150 etc
Hey AnonymousOctober 20, 2012 3:23 PM Scailing basically just means how you want the quality in the game, if you put it fully 400% the game will look incredible, but it takes a lot of performance, so Scailing 100% and under, looks horrific, no detials at all. i would suggest scaling between 150 and 200% ;)
DeleteNo, it's the anti aliasing. Higher number: better looking.
DeleteHow to force ETS2 to use quality settings in Nvidia Panel to get real antialiasing??? Why I can't set up smooth edges with Nvidia settings??? This was possible in ETS1 and GTS! I am very disappointed about graphics quality with 100% scaling. I have pc that is recommended and game looks terrible. I can only dream about 400% scaling...
ReplyDeletewhat are you talking about :O graphics is the beast, best i've ever seen in truck sim! yet the engine is so much optimized compared to scina tds. I play everything on Ultra, with a 300% scailing, however i've disabled the antialiasing, because it kills performance, and i don't see any difference with or without it.
Deletewell, i noticed the same thing too, the antialiasing doesnt work on this game :/ , the edges look horrible as stated above, and the graphics are not the best, even SDTS graphics was better, i am a bit disappointed to be honest, i was expecting to find antialiasing x8 , or x16 , but this one doesnt even work , anyways , thanks SCS for ur effort ;)
Deletei see your point there Jack ;) i would love to add 8x antialiasing as well, cause the edges are a bit low quality, but let's hope they will implement it in the future updates, besides that, the game looks astonishing ;)
DeleteIn a way, I sort of agree, I love the ETS 2 graphics, but all the edges are so jagged... would you be able to add AT LEAST 4x antialiasing in a future patch? The textures are perfect though!
DeleteMaybe you can try to change it in the game itself.
ReplyDeleteSCS thanks for the nice game, currently playing the demo till my box version comes in.
Never seen such a variety of information panels as in this game. Now let's see what is possible in the full version in a couple of days.

DeleteCheers SCS! It's nice to "meet" the team behind this wonderful game. :-)
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me where can I report bugs that I saw in ETS2? (It's only some minor ones, don't worry :-) )
Here would be my guess, that's what I do, or via email.
DeleteThank you SCS! But I miss one thing, where are the used trucks, like in GTS? I don't get any e-mails about used trucks, or is this a bug? I don't want to buy new trucks instantly to my drivers :D
ReplyDeleteIn GTS you had a couple cheap trucks offered via email, in ETS2 you can get a loan from the Bank but have to buy new ones.
DeleteThanks for the best simulator
ReplyDeleteI've only been able to try the demo so far, and wow it is amazing! So much better than Scania Driving Simulator, Trucks And Trailers, and Extreme Trucker 2 combined! So much better, so much more fun to drive. I am just amazed by the high-quality of your games SCS. The trucks all came out so nice. The menus and descriptions are so professional and astounding. Great work, great. Can't wait to buy the game!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better myself!
DeleteLove it! Graphics and gameplay are top-notch. There are only 4 downsides for me:
ReplyDelete- No Multiplayer (that's a most for nowadays game)
- No Baltic states (again) ''
- You can't drive underwater tunnel that connects England and Europe (it teleports you)
- You can't drive onto the ships like you could in ETS Gold
Everything else: LOVE IT!
Forgot to add, these are huge downsides for me :(
DeleteYou can drive onto the ships at 'Dover' and 'Calais' however you cant at 'Harwich/Felixstow' and Its connecting port.
DeleteYou can't drive in that tunnel even in real life. So why waiting, watching train carrying your truck in dark tunnel... why even implement something like that. :-)
DeleteThank you for providing this great game, now it's time optimization!
ReplyDeleteCongratulation SCS you have done a great game.And I hope you will soon release the expansion of the map and that you will add Macedonia.Thank you ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations SCS,
ReplyDeletethe game is just legen.... wait it's comming.....dary!!!
Really I can't stop playing it. Of course there are some smaller things to be better in next game or perhaps update, but for now, your game is great.
I hope even more will buy it, it's worth it.
Greetings from Frankfurt am Main
Thank you for all Scs Team!!
ReplyDeletei absolutly love this game:D playing it while talking on skype with a friend of mine. Man i wish You guys would make it posible to play togeather with a few friends. would easily be the best game i have then:)
ReplyDeletePlaying alone gets kinda boring after a while, but would be more fun if i could convoy with my friend.
Really dont care about anything else then adding that. Multiplayer and maybe adding Norway and (Trollstigen) would be epic. speacially with a winter mod:)
Hope my wishes will come true:)
Thanks alot for a great game. Totally worth it:)
Totally agree, I play with my friend also similar way!
DeleteI prefer to drive as lonely loner, on a lonely road... alone. :-DDD
DeleteBut yep, it's sure entertaining for lots of people, the important thing is you enjoying. :-)
Gongrats SCS!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the upcoming patches, and expansions for ETS2. I've been playing ETS2 for quite a few hours, and it's a blast!
I'm playing with multidisplay setup (3 displays), so i shall wait what you guys at SCS come up with improving it.
And it's great that the game has my language (Finnish).
Anyhoo, gongrats again, and now back to trucking for me! :)
Congrats to SCS team !!!
ReplyDeleteIt's just me or some drivers avatars in ETS2 looks like SCS team members :D
I noticed that too, the guy on the left with a stripy shirt is a familiar face.
Deletedidnt he play Randy in My Name Is Earl.....just kidding
DeleteCongratulations on such a huge success, to each and every member of the team, you should be very proud of yourselves. I only got to buy my copy this morning and this is the first thing I have stopped for (I needed coffee too :P) and to see you all with the smiles and champagne you deserve to have is a great sight to see. Well done to all of you, and thank you for such a beautifully made game. -JETLogistics.
ReplyDeleteBug: Ha más cégnél vezetsz autót, még a legelején, akkor bármilyen fülkés kamiont vezetsz, csakis a magas fülkések vannak benne. Javítsátok létszives.
ReplyDeleteGrafikai optimalizálás: A lámpák fénytávolságnál, ha be van kapcsolva, igen csak belassul a játék. A scania-nál is volt ilyen, de ott egy patch mejavította. Ezt is javítások légyszi.
Config amin a hiba van: 7850x2, 4 g ram, 4670 512 mb ram.
Gratulálok a sikerhez!
Sorry for language(Hungary)!
Great game!
The game is amazing, i just made 6000 km with my Actros :D.
ReplyDeleteThere are some bugs and things to be tweaked but it is the best trucking game EVER! At least at the moment, but i`m sure no other company will make truck simulators better then yours.
BTW, who wnats cheats? When i played GTS i wanted cheats too because the map was boring, freeway after freeway, now in ETS 2 i don`t want to hear about cheats, the map si so beautiful, yeah SCS did put a lot of freeways in ETS 2 too, and i hope in the map epansions they will remove as much as possible the freeways, at least make them only with 2 lanes on each side, i don`t like those with 3.
Hope you will add more tuning parts in the feature too. Thanks again for a very nice game, i`m playing a lot :))
Sorry but I disagree, 3 lanes is better than 2. 2 aren't as common in the UK.
DeleteLooks like you had a good time! Relax for a few days, we've got what we want for now. ;)I will be getting the game from Wednesday-Thursday, but right now, I'm playing the demo and it's great. You don't quite realise how many new features there are until you actually try the game for yourself. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great well deserved celebration!:D I have a few questions though:
Which one's the person who writes on the blog the most?
Who's the man in charge?
Have a great time watching profits go up up and up!
The answer on both questions is the same. You can see him on photo, actually, it's that man with glass of champange.
DeleteI'm only 12, I don't know which is champagne lol.
DeleteTrolled :D
DeleteLove that GAME! THX! One of the good thinks in the future would be a official forum of the ETS2.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI copied someone else's serial for the game and got it full just because I can't wait for the game to get delivered on 26th. Don't worry SCS, that game which is getting delivered is bought, boxed version. I wouldn't steal your games just because how much effort you put in this game.
ReplyDeleteThen that's okay.
DeleteFinally got my copy of ERS2 working last night! It is a totally awesome game. Thanks SCS, you deserve time to celebrate. Can't wait to see what map expansions you are planning. Personally I would love to see Spain and Portugal added, and more French cities added too! ;)
ReplyDeletecan you remove the speed limiter? 90km/h is really slow
ReplyDeleteIt's the legal limit.
DeleteNO !!!!
Deletei made a mod for that right after the game was released!
DeleteYes, please add an option under gameplay that removes the speed limiter!
Deletethe speed limit for trucks in europe is 80 km/h max. its not slow it's how it is in real life. they are ALL LIMITED to 90 km/h
DeleteHello SCS, maybe you know, when the game will be in Sweden? I pre-ordered game in shop, named Game, in Skövde, but it's really hard to wait :D
ReplyDeleteSorry for bad english.
scale to 125% or put, why? in STDS costs 400%
ReplyDeletesorry for the English (Google Translate)
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteETS2 limits the maximal rendering scale on 32 bit versions of Windows to 125% to ensure that it does not run out of memory.
DeletePretty good so far, like to stereo 3d for ATI and Nividia supported in updates. Still, 2.5 years into pretty impressive. The shadows and Anti-Alasiling maybe off but that fixable in updates.
ReplyDeletescs congrats!!!
ReplyDeletethe game is really greate ,I HAVE ONLY one problem ,sometimes the game crashes and its seems that one of my quad cores is working to hard and the rest three is not.
I wonder if its becous it is a one big file that have to work on one core or what eles?
Awesome game, until you realize that max speed even with 750hp truck is only 90 km /h.
ReplyDeleteits not, i did 140km/h in a Volvo... all you need is a no speed limiter mod that is in IAAG Forum
DeleteCant find it there... please be more specific
Deleteguests and newly register users can't see mod sections in that forum, sorry.
DeleteWow, thats great forum advertisement. Thanks for wasting my time. *Plonk*
Deletenoone is advertising it! We don't like when people just comes for mods! next ting you know, mods made by great members are all over the internet with wrong credits, or none at all. Noone said that you have to go there and download it, that's why i din't posted the direct link to it! i just said where is it from. IAAG always was this way, and it will satay that way. not everyone wants to give away there hardly made mods to people who steals them and post on there own sites like they belong to them.
Deletewhat is a IAAG forum?
Deleteas far as i know it's a small friendly forum for games.
Deletetry google it.
ok i found it and registred, but i cant find the speed limiter mod?
Deletecontact the admin, i know him, hes a good guy,maybe he will give you the mod if you ask nicely
Delete@CDMD yeah sure, you made the first mod ever for ets2, and you made the greatest mod ever for ets2, you are the biggest SCS games critic blablabla and whatever will come
DeleteSeriously: You claim that you made the mod people are searching for, and point to a specific forum. But then, there is nothing to find, and then you claim you are not advertising that forum, and you won't share because people will copy. So, for the majority of people out there (if not to all), you are simply a waste of time.
Hic rhodos, hic salta. Give the mod now or rest in the oblivion of all the blabbers claiming they have / know / did / are whatever.
ah, you are really funny, or stupid, or maybe both :) you can't even type 4 letters without making a mistake.
DeleteAnyway, for all of you who want this simple mod. i made an exception and you can find the mod at:
http://iaag66.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=10689#p10689
PS. you need to register to download it, that's all.
and btw, you are the reason why i don't give away my mods so easily! why i have to make mods, no matter if its simple or not, to people who only offends me and never said thanks!?....
also, SCS, you really made a great game, i din't thought it will be this good, but you really out done your self. i don't want to start listing some bugs, or other mistakes i found... you have many great fans that already reports all those things so you cloud fix them and improve your game even more. best of luck in future project. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing. No time to check it out atm, registering there is much too complicated for a simple mind like me, because I cannot type 4 letters without making a mistake, but the password has to be at least 6 characters, and must be typed in twice, and I cannot see what I type in that password field. LOL :)
Deleteyou sir, are a funny guy :)
DeleteI forgot to mention a very nice feature that SCS included in the game, i really didn`t know about it untill i played along jurney. When you drive a very long jurney your wheels, engine and grea box is damageing a little without crashing in somthing and is cool, your tire is worning-out, after i drove about 1000km my wheels where 2 % worned-out.
ReplyDelete@Mark: I know that, i like the roads in the UK, i just said that 3 lanes freeways aren`t that beautiful, in my opinion. Of course 3 lanes is better, i know that but this is a game it is supposed to be beautiful not boring, and when i`m driving on those freeways i`m geting a little bit bored, more country roads should be fine. Don`t get me wrong, i`m not complaining, the game looks awesome.
I thought you meant 2 lane freeways! in that case I agree!
DeleteHi scs! Very good game, i've bought it yesterday and I'm still playing since this morning :D
ReplyDeleteI'm here to ask for youe help. My cabin camera (1) doesn't move, so i cant move drivers head, in order to see mirrors or look around in crossroads, it doesn't work still with my gamepad (xbox360 wireless) and also with my mouse (logitech g9). In external view (2) camera axis (on my controller setted up on right stick) and mouse works fine.
Pls Help me, my game experience in this way is very poor :(
Do you have TrackIR or similar headtracking SW? If game detects headtracker, it will use its input for exclusive control of the interior camera.
DeleteThanks Komat! I don't remember that i've installed FaceTracknoIR same months ago... Now I've unisntalled and it works fine!!
DeleteFinally i could stay on the road!
If the largest gaming companies in the world to have so much determination, passion and commitment that SCS is in the shops would be the same amazing game titles. Greetings from the neighbor behind the northern border. ETS2 is amazing!
ReplyDeleteFor now I have 13hrs game, the game is super ..... the sound and behavior of the clutch, the sound in general and changing gears is done well, every sound is in place, for now I bought a Scania R 420, a bit weak :D barely defeat Hills :)))
ReplyDeletenow i waiting more money for the R730 to buy heheh :D
Good work .
Here is picture for all of you .. btw i am BvB09 Fan :D

A truly fantastic game. It is going to take me a very long time to visit all of the sixty something cities in the massive map.
ReplyDeleteOk enough celebrated. Now go back to work and add some European countries to this GTS/Austria/UKTS clone so that it really deserves the name "European"!
ReplyDeleteSCS Software - thanks for the work, we appreciate it very much, I bought the game and always support you, thank you for your work!
ReplyDeleteCould you please make a fix for 5:4 monitors? Mine has 1280x1024 resolution and I see black stripes on top and bottom of the screen when I play the game. :(
ReplyDeletehave same problem! ):<
DeleteYeah, it's since Extreme Trucker 2. Not everyone likes wide screens.
DeleteCheers guys ! You did an extraordinary great job ! RESPECT !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteNice work, SCS-Software, Screenshost with original logos from mercedes and volvo and ingame renamed to majestic and valiant.....

Thank you. You are the best!
Great job SCS, you've outdone yourselves on this one. The feeling I get from playing this game is just unmatched, especially love that you included radio station streams, that's just the cherry ontop! You guys deserve one hell of a vacation and a Benz for everyone. :P
ReplyDeletei running demo on a 6 year old machine it set its self up i found it great game graphics great even pedestrians sorry i run one over but great game love it
ReplyDeleteMany thanks to SCS! Best of luck!
ReplyDeletewhere is spain and italy is cqant go to them
ReplyDeleteI ask to do multi плеер and game will be bought by 20000 persons!!!!! it is Necessary to do regulation of seat on upwards, downward and forward, back(as mirrors and headlights). Successes!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, loving it!
ReplyDeleteSecond, i may have missed this but is there an official forum anywhere? I think it would be a good way to collate all the problems above and get support from the community.
Very good game, will buyit :P
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
ReplyDeletenice.. i hope you are planing or thinking about multiplayer as well.. and work on adding denmark, spain and the rest of poland and italy.
also i hope you got my report of pirated version. i want to make sure every one how likes the game pays for it.. you need it i feel. :)
i would like to see orginal transmissions.. i saw you use scania g transmission on all trucks.. bad thing.. also maybe you make 16 speed rangesplit transmissions.
a forum would be great, but i would be happy knowing the support mail adress for ets2 so i can mail bug reports and wishes if i may. i dont want to send my mail to pavel sabor every time. ;)
also.. would you pls check on the G27 scs? i think you inverted the forcefeedback.. or something.. :)
thank you and greatings from germany.
The forum would be great for sure, many of those good in past not working now or are in coma, the crew is fragmented... something under official flag could bring old good guys together again.
DeleteGood Job !
ReplyDeleteI would also like to make one small suggestion for a fix: the city of Groningen in the Netherlands is spelled ''Gröningen'' on the small signs at city limits. The highway signs etc show the name right though, with an ''o'' instead of ''ö''.
ReplyDeleteas you see in the screenshot of the subversion, thay work on utf8.. without there is no öäüß ;)
DeleteNice to see a Helloween fan has been working on this game! \m/
ReplyDeleteI felt like I was back on holidays in Czech Republic when driving from Praha towards Brno, listening to Radio Beat!
I'm playing the demo for a second time, and I just can't stand the long waiting period to receive the boxed version.
You sir know how to enjoy a life. ;-) Rock music and trucks forever!
DeleteSCS, you deserve all the praise you get because you have delivered a game that is so realistic and fun to play, I have been playing all day today and had to force myself to stop playing so I could eat properly !!! WELL DONE and look forward to ETS2 just getting better and better.
ReplyDeleteHey, SCS! I already made a mod for ETS2. This mod (it's actually a cheat) is for lazy people. More info and download link on my blog:
ReplyDeletepavelthemodder.blogspot.com/2012/10/ets2-screenshots.html
P.S. Just bought the game :D
its not the first mod.
DeleteI didn't say its the first :-/
Deleteat least don't lie.
Deletei.imgur.com/6slDi.png
I meant it's my first mod.
DeleteCongrats, great work!! :)
Deleteplease release on mac format. i am unable to play on windows
ReplyDeletelinux would be better as it is there native development platform if i understood them right in one of the blog entrys. :)
DeleteDoes vailant really HAVE to have the Globetraveller sign..... i think it should be an option to have it or not.... maybe its just my oppinion
ReplyDeleteyou can buy a valiant without the globetraveller sign.
DeleteI bought this game yesterday from your site. Took my Fanatec CSR out from Xbox 360 setup and started up the game. Everything worked like a charm! Easy setup for steering wheel and Clubsport pedals and I was on my way to deliver my first load.
ReplyDeleteOne thing crossed my mind as I was driving. Is there a speeding limit on open roads and in cities? Or was I just blind and overwhelmed of this nice game and didn't notice them? =D
there are. 50 km/h in the cities and 80 km/h on the highway/outside cities and 70 km/h outside the cities in some countries
DeleteThe demo is awesome. I've preordered the italian retail version.
ReplyDeleteThe map looks so restricted, I hope to see more cities in Italy and Spain.
I hate the truck manifacturers who don't gives licenses...hope to see these soon.
For all of you wondering about who's in charge and who's writing on the blog:
ReplyDeleteBuy the game and keep playing until you can hire the driver called Pavel!
Cheers, SCS!
and
Good luck!
Great Game!!! :) SCS you did a very good job here with ETS2! Relax a little have a few Drinks :P
ReplyDeleteSNAKE FROM CANADA
real truck driver
SCS, i'm not sure if this is a bug, or what? But when ETS2 runs in the background(minimized), Print Screen doesn't work and i can't take desktop pictures.
ReplyDeleteSCS, you only have one radio for the UK, and that's rock, which some people like, but lots find rock obnoxious. If you're looking for popular radios in the UK, choose Capital FM!
ReplyDeleteyou can add your favourite radios by yourself
DeleteI tried adding BBC radio 2(yeah i know im old) but it just fails to load, the game tells you to read a readme file in your My Documents but its not there
DeleteI can't even connect to BBC radio streams (any station) with usual media players, I can only listen them via their flash player in web browser. Possibly it's not ETS2 issue...?
DeleteA great game from SCS again.I bought it and I admired it.Best regards from Turkey.I hope, we will see Turkey Map in this game.Good works guys.
ReplyDeleteGame is awsome but i have two suggestions for future patches of the game.
ReplyDelete1. Add one more chassi type, the most commom cind of them all for eurotrucks, the 6x2 not the one with twinsteer wheels or with two drive axles 6x4 that is already ingame but normal 6x2. Frontwheels, drivewheels and boggiewheels. This is not as imprortant as nr2.
2. Please fix the stupid useless enginebrake in the game, get rid of the b key on keyboard to use enginebrake. What i meen is please make the game more realistic on that part by making it work like in real trucks. The guys behind OMSI manage to make the retarder work like in real buses so i dont see the problem you guys can make it work like that on the trucks in ETS2.
The enginebrake issue please fix it onestly ruins the game for me and its enough for me not to buy the game cause its not realistic at all and its just wrong for me.
Incase you need more info on how this works incase you fix this. let me know and ill inform you and help you out to get it right.
do you hold it? its working awesome for me
Deletei know how to use it ingame but its not how it works on real trucks. And thats my issue, its not realistic to real trucks.
Delete@Alex, take "B" button out and chuck it away - issue solved!
DeleteIf 'not realistic' engine brake (who even force you to use it?) is enough to not buy the game, you simply don't deserve to play it.
man tgx does not have a re-/intarder. thay use engine brake by shifting down as far as i know. just as one example..
Deleteif you dont want to use it with the "B" key, use your wheel shifter (if you have a g25 or g27).
@AnonymousOctober 20, 2012 9:23 PM
DeleteReason its ruins it for me is because i driven real trucks alot and i always use to set so that the enginebrake and/or retarder works with the break pedal. But hey i dont think you will understand where im comming from untill you get older and actulay tried to drive a real truck.
@AnonymousOctober 20, 2012 9:39 PM
MAN TGX has both retarders and enginebrakes but how they are activated im not sure of cause i only have driven Volvo and Scania IRL.
Those of you that dont understand my point of view or wants to argue about me being stupid, save it. Im not going to use any energy on explaining or arguing with you.
i dont say you are stupid.. i never would. there was a test/review like video on yt where thay sayd tgx does not have retarder nor intader, so i was thinking its just the engine by downshifting.. my bad..
Deletei would really be intressted why you dont like the "B" key or whats your problem with it. i think i dont understood your first post 100%. sry.
but yeah ok if you dont want you dont have to explain it, i hope scs understood what your saying.
greatings
The reason why i dont like the b key or just press any key for enginebrake or retarder, its simply because its not that way it works in real trucks or buses to be spesific.
DeleteTake the Volvo for example you have the handler with the + sign in the O with () thats the engine/retarder brake handler. You have 0,A,1,2,3,B
where 0 is completly off, A is so it works with cruise controll or whene you use the service brakes (aka the brake pedal). 1,2 and 3 is manually activating it to either slow down or hold the truck back whene going downhill, where 1 is 30% 2 is 70% and 3 is 100% braking power. B is a special brake program for Volvo's With I-Shift gearbox. I tried the b funtion on a real volvo fh and its like hitting a brickwall almost instant stop.

Hey,
ReplyDeleteIs there a chance I could have a key to unlock the full game while waiting for the pre-ordered box to arrive? I'd really love to play the full game, I already gone trough the demo, and the release date here is 26th and then I'd still need to wait ~week for the delivery...
HEy SCS, thanks for the game I`ve benn waiting for it very long. I would like to say something. In your future patches, please solve the problme that when another car is hitting me, I shouldn`t pay money. Please. Thx.
ReplyDeleteAgree with this, got head-on with someone overtaking oncoming truck on my lane, nothing I could do but slam brakes.. And got fined 400€ + repairs
DeleteFunny, cos I was coming out of a turning, in Amsterdam; car coming along, doesn't stop, ploughs into the side of me and there was no ticket! Maybe it's to do with the speed?
DeleteGreat game, have been waiting since I first heard it was announced. I've been loving it since I bought it on its release. However I've encountered an odd bug, and I've tried many different things to try and fix it but to no avail. The problem I speak of is that the keyboard commands for looking left and right do not work in the game. I'm wondering if because a lot of people play this game with TrackIR that this might have been overlooked on the keyboard side?
ReplyDeleteAny chance for some Polish radio ? :)
ReplyDeletegreat!!!!
ReplyDeleteguys please add BBC RADIO 1 thank
ReplyDeleteOr Capital FM.
DeleteAmazing job on the Game SCS, really, really first class work!
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying the game since I bought it yesterday night straight out of work, and have been playing it non-stop.
Keep up the fantastic work, and enjoy the party!
Signed, A big fan from holland!
You can add radio whatever you want. You just need to go to: Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/ and open file live_streams. Then you need to search source of radio, you like to add. Then, write something like this:
ReplyDeletestream_data[62]: "http://radio.m-1.fm/m1/mp3.m3u|M-1 Lithuania"
Here i added to the game M-1 Lithuania. And it's works :D
I found... cracked version, just to try, how the game looks. So... I think, that game is...
AMAZING.
Sorry for bad English.
You people taking about piracy here?
DeleteWhat about SCS Software gave to us in the next update all, the rest of france, italy.
Need Poland, Spain and Portugal.
From today's post is more then clear what will be in next update. General improvements and bug fixes. These are clearly most important things now. I will be not surprised if next update(s) will not add a piece of map, new ai cars or truck functions. It's game polishing time.
DeleteDo you not understand, that "... just to try, how the game looks."; is what the DEMO IS FOR! Good god, why do people not understand this, or are people just lying to cover up their piracy? I can understand doing something like that if the game doesn't have a demo, but when there is a very flexible demo available...
DeleteI'm not saying your a liar, and maybe you couldn't download the demo, but you have to admit, it doesn't look good, and it is unbelievably disrespectful to SCS to announce you're pirating their game on THEIR OWN BLOG. What the **** is wrong with you people??
Cheats or console commands?
ReplyDeleteCan someone explain whether it would be very difficult to do the the UK motorway junctions as they are? Because in the UK, the motorways don't go down to 2 lanes when there is a turn off; there is a slip road that branches off from the mw, as in this picture:

Great Game SCS...
ReplyDeleteHello;
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great game, I am playing demo digital version (1.1.1) and have encountered one bug:
When my truck is damaged and need to be repaired, when I press F7 and call a service center, they charge me but they don't fix it, even if I called service center again the same thing happens, what really works is going to the green marker inside the service center to fix it fully.
Anyhow, have fun, celebrate, and take a vacation, YOU guys deserve it.
P.S. I am missing times when every morning the first thing I do was checking your blog to see how ETS2 is doing and when it will be released.
Regards..
"Call Service" thingy is just if you're stuck, flipped, or can't move when they TOW you to a service station, but don't fix your truck, you need to go to the green marker and go "inside" the service station.
DeleteI don`t know if it is an AI bug or not, but i was on a country road and the AI was in an overtake, he didn`t had time to enter on his lane so i braked but he went in me without braking.
ReplyDeleteAnd i found a few bugs, sometimes when you are switching between cameras you hear in cabin the outside noise but if you switch back to 2 and then to 1 will fix this.
Hi SCS. I saw one place this photo.Is thıs photo right or fake ?
ReplyDeletehttp://e1210.hizliresim.com/12/n/f3tpn.jpg
In this photo, cabin lamp is lighted.But ı can't open the cabin lamp.How do ı open the cabin lamp ?
that's a mod for STDS!
DeleteNo it isn't, there's a Mercedes oncoming.
DeleteBloody hell, you've got good eyesight Mark!! I was going by the fact that the screenshot had GPS in the cabin. That wasn't in STDS. Um, it couldn't be the reflection from the oncoming truck could it? or maybe going under a street light?
DeletePlease add double trailer in future update!
ReplyDeleteHi all at SCS, i down loaded the game the minute it went on line, and i am so glad i did what a game its just amazing, thanks you all so much.
ReplyDeleteJames one very happy fan.
this game is the best trucking game ever by far...!!!
ReplyDeletebesides the tricky handling at low speeds witch takes a while to get used to it the game is quite PERFECT...!!!
THANCK YOU
Please change the DAV indicator noise back to how it was in german truck simulator, as that is the right noise. And please change the horns on the Valiant and Renault Premium. Let the horn sound as long as I hold my finger on the H button. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAgree with the last part for a patch.
DeleteCin Cin
ReplyDeletehip hip hurrà!
I was wondering if it is normal?, every time I open the game I have to move on screen settings, because it's not like the GTS, which do you configure it once and it stays.
ReplyDeleteIt's normal for me.
DeleteTake a look at this mod, it is too much bounce but with the right tweak it will come to be a awesome mod.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mn-tTjSD9SA#!
Now, that looks fantastic! Especially with gearbox and brake fix!
ReplyDeleteSCS should definitely look into it and think about implementing some of this in a future patch!
I just bought the game, and it's feels really great. You've done a great job!
ReplyDeleteBut, I can't get the Force feedback to my G27 to work ?
NVM, I solved it :)!
DeleteBugs: Switching views changes to the wrong sounds occasionally
ReplyDeleteChanging the suspension settings seems to have a strange bug where the cab will move strangely on occasion.
Can't edit some sii files.
Occasionally a merging ai car will stop to allow traffic past and they will both stop and sit there.
Underpass prefab out of dortmund south onto 45 seems to jam up with traffic.
I just tryed myself that mod and it is awesome, i didn`t find bugs, it works fine.
ReplyDeleteuna pregunta se puede comprar euro truck 2 co cualquier tarjeta de credito o solo tiene que servisa o mastercard
ReplyDeleteThere is a bug with cruise control. When going down hill you go faster than the set speed
ReplyDeleteDear SCS.
ReplyDeleteI really love you for what you have done for us this game as ETS2.You are a great team!!!
And I want to wish you good luck in your future work.
Congratulations from Russia.
Hello SCS! Thank you very much for your work! you are the best!
ReplyDeleteFrom Russia with love!
