I used to watch DaSquirrelNuts back when i was 10 or 11, I was excited for every new video back then haha. Now im 22 and just randomly remembered him and came back to watch. Good memories
im a real trucker in real life. lol. you were talking about the switches on the dashboard, those are actually the way they are, you get the standard switches and if you want to upgrade the volvo later on down the road, you can take those covers away and add switches in the spot of the "dummy" switches (the ones without the labels you were talking about on the dash)
Ahahahaha. That's the stereotype. I actually did not come from a poor family. You better show some respect. That computer your talking shit on, was on a truck at one point. The clothes you are wearing, they were on a truck. Anything and everything you posses, was brought to you on a truck at one point or another. If it was not for us doing what we do, America would have a hard time. You don't have to like us, however, you wouldn't have the amenities you have if it wasn't for us working 70 hrs a week. Owner operators are making $100,000+ a year. I'm a company driver making $75,000 a year. Not bad for being a dumb ass trucker from a broke family with little to no edumication right? Know your facts before you state facts.
There are plenty of educated people driving trucks. Sometimes it's what someone has to do. Also you can not tell someone's tone via text so you're wrong on that end. Secondly trucks do serve a big part in everyday life of individuals. Your medical supplies everything was brought to you on a truck, like I said before. The hospital you perform surgeries in, the metal and construction supplies and the laborers that built it is the reason you have a career aside from getting your education. Also quit being stuck up and acting like you are god. I don't care if you are a surgeon or the president of the USA or what ever country you are from. Everyone in my eyes is equal, whether you are homeless living on the streets and no one will look at you, or if you reign over all. The only difference between you and I is some schooling. I chose to go a different way in life than you. If I started my own company and worked my ass off I could become wealthier than you were could have imagined. That however is not my life's goal. I do not care about wealth at all. However, I'm not surprised I'm in this conversation with the likes of you because most surgeons act like they are god and everyone should kiss their ass. Just remember that there is someone out there better than you, smarter than you, as well as wealthier than you. So get off your high horse and come back down to earth.
damen grandel I am an educated truck driver as well. What bothers me is that these trucks seems to be different from American Trucks, Without the gears or even the air lines pull buttons... I can concur you can easily make 70k+ american money a year but it is an easy job. I don't like using my Business degree to rip people off, I got tired of that compare to manual labor.
backing up into traffic causing a car to go into the tree, cars driving under the tree over the bridge, awesome British guy with awesome commentary... 10/10.
i remember watching this video in 2014 on my Celeron pc and was thinking "holy shit the graphics is amazing " and now that i look into current ets2 graphic and compare it this , the game have developed really well the devs have done a great job
Huge baobab tree in IKEA... Not as weird as a helicopter or military tank in Fedex. Also, when you were beached, you could have detached the trailer, moved a bit, and reattached the trailer. That way, the trailer moves automatically to your new position (about a metre). This can be used to bypass some obstacles.
44:38 That 0 mph shows the cruise control speed, that's why it says 0 :) Also u can't brake well because u didn't choose the right transmission, u should install the one with the ''r'', that's the retarder version which perfectly helps the braking and probably u also did not enable the auto exhaust brake...
Got to agree Retarders are a life saver, especially going down steep hill with heavy loads i just let retarder do all the steady braking in a controlled way with exhaust brake button covered just in case extra is needed.
Adelaide has no road tax, and no toll booths. What we have are hyper aggressive animals that attack your car, like Kangaroos. I'm not kidding. They run alongside your car, and then try to make you swerve by cutting you off. It's what they do to establish dominance amongst themselves,and a bull Kangaroo weighs a lot. Also, some species of Goanna attack the tires and undercarriage of the car if you stay put for too long.
That is a really bad idea. Your car is not going to come out of that looking pretty and the 'roo may jump at you if threatened, which means it goes through the windscreen and will most like kill you.
Wow, that traffic jam while exiting the highway....I seriously haven't laughed that hard in years. Simply one of the funniest moments I have ever experienced.
I remembered watching this series! It was my first video I saw by him & at that time, he was known by his UA-cam name as "DaSquirrelNuts". That's one way you can tell how devoted some fans are watching his videos. This is probably my favorite video series by him. Always have, always will be.
I laughed so much toward the end of the video. Trying to push the traffic.. and then when you head finally are able to head off "Ok, so I've left a bit of a mess on the Motorway" Epic.
The zero mph on the Volvo dash is Cruise Control speed, one of my fav features, I switched from Scania to Volvo because you can go from 440bhp to 600bhp at level 12, now at 16 my truck has a 750bhp engine, but I love the CC speed on the dash, I can always see it where in my Scania I had to select that screen, so now I can watch my MPG or my Air/Oil Pressure instead.
OMG ROFL .... The part with the round turn on the motorway, and the vehicles blocking you front and back, and the cabin bobbleheading. I can't breath from laughing for so long and hard. Thank You man, I really needed that laugh :D
I just bought the game yesterday and am trying to find my way. So got on to UA-cam searched for Euro Truck Sim vids and found this on. Haven't laughed like this watching a simulation before. Your comments on the video are very British humor. Really enjoying the video. Keep on trucking mate.
this video might be 7 years old, but, given i've never actually watched from ep 01, i figured, screw it, gotta start some day and that tree is HUGE!! im suprised the truck can even move, let alone pick up speed!
Dam this is immersive,I might buy this for the simple fact it has traffic and all that, we need some racing games like this. That last part was very funny.
The trouble with this game is that it makes driving trucks look easy. You wouldn't get more than a mile if you pulled your tree for real. You demonstrated that beautifully. 'Beaching' as you described it happened because you didn't plan anything. What grounded was the legs of the trailer. The game doesn't represent how to couple and uncouple. Believe me there is a lot more to it than reverse back and press a key! For one thing the legs must be raised after you couple otherwise they drag on the road! Not using your mirrors resulted in you hitting barriers even after you had a near-miss right at the start when you referred to scraping round a corner. Going way too fast resulted in you hitting another road user when they moved under your trailer, and then knowing what you'd done you didn't stop. Having 70 tonnes in your hands in the real world you would end up in jail and people would die. And for those people who think drivers are all grubby half-wits? Do you actually know any drivers? And as to why we do it? Personally I take pride in my ability to drive and maneuver a 50-ft long vehicle which bends in the middle and take it in and out of places like London, Birmingham, Glasgow, etc. in safety. You should see the idiots I see every day...
Most games make everything look easy, first person shooters make being a soldier look easy, flying simulators make being a pilot loon easy. It's the way games have to be to keep players playing them and not getting frustrated over failing
Up to a point maybe? But there should be consequences for making stupid mistakes. Like pushing cars and trucks out of the way. Maybe if only a cost in financial terms. Incidentally flight-sims are probably one type of game which are actually more difficult than real-life since there are no motion cues. i.e. no physical sensation of movement in your inner ear. You try flying a helicopter in X-plane with the realism at 100%!!
My man squirrel here is an absolute legend and inspiration for many sim gamers out there like me... he got me into this category of gaming, slow paced, relaxing... idk what is wrong with kids these days, spending 30hours a day on some elden wrink, lost ark, valorant 2 cent game shit
About those transmisions marked R: A retarder is a device used to augment or replace some of the functions of primary friction-based braking systems, usually on heavy vehicles. Retarders serve to slow vehicles, or maintain a steady speed while traveling down a hill, and help prevent the vehicle from "running away" by accelerating down the hill. (So that would be pretty useful)
i just started to play this game earlier today and it almost drove me nuts. the reverse parking frustrates the heck out of me. took me almost 10 minutes just to park lol. till i realize "wait, this isn't need for speed or gta or gran turismo, this is a simulator". so yeah, i guess it's just that realistic. you'd have to get used to it just like a real truck driver trainee.
+tootsie|troll® Don't worry too much about it, it's just practice. I used to skip it all the time and now i park in just about a minute. Use the top cam (key 3) and correct your turn slowly :)
So werid I Watched this as a Kid having No idea what anything mean all I know was Big Truck Pulling Heavy Trailer, Now I'm in High School and its Fun revisiting Old Video or Channels Love the Content Paul you are the reason why I got in to and love Simulation Games
It's not "road tax" and hasn't been since 1935. It's vehicle excise duty. I think you'll find trucks pay more tax because of their emissions also, the tax you pay on your vehicle does not go to fix roads. As I said that stopped in 1935.
+warbunny13203 Not if you have a 0.6 litre car or an electric car. If it was a 'road tax', then you'd have to pay anyway regardless. This way, it is actually possible to NOT pay road tax or only pay like a fiver, if you have an electric car or a fiat 500 or something. So technically I can drive a heavy Tesla around the roads, wearing out the roads etcetera, and not pay a penny of road tax, because I'm not releasing any fumes in the air. If it was a proper tax, I'd probably be paying more than a regular car.
When you were sitting there deciding whether to take the tree to Lyon or Nurnburg I was sitting there like "No, no, go to France! It'll be interesting!" And luckily you did. Really enjoying your videos, (even though I'm still in the older ones) but at the rate I'm watching them I'll catch up eventually. Cheers,
Watching this after 11pm on January 7, 2021. My country just survived an attempted coup the day before, pandemic still rages, life has been stressful to say the least... and I am laughing so hard at this video that I'm crying!!😆😂🤣 Thank you for this unexpected, but very much appreciated stress release!🤗
The weight of the log at the humpback bridge has actually lifted the wheels of your cab giving you no traction to move either way. It's smart physics really for such a good game that would happen in real life.
i grew up with Scanias and volvo lorrys. Uk to Greece. the Volvo was what my dad last owned. the FH16 with upgraded engine. (don't ask what he done to upgrade, i don't know) just made it very powerful. it was a work horse, not for looks. i will take volvos over anything any day. my childhood was in them beauty's
2:40 the "R" stands for the retander funktion of the transmission. A must have for heavy hauls in real life! Other wise your brakes say good bye on a big long slope. They cant handle it and u don't want to punish ur engine for a long time using engine brake.
I'm actually trying to find a career that suits me, and trucking might just be the thing I'm looking for, looking closely at a high quality game like this to get the visual "feel" of what to expect a lot of the time helps with painting a greater picture of expectations (I'm no snowflake, I know the reality of things). Thank you for this video, that's some propper content!
***** I wondered about that because before I have been watching a video with loads of adverts before and had reload the page for various reasons and then there is no ads. I did not know that was why. Thanks.-))
In Tennessee, there's a seven-mile stretch on I-40 eastbound between Cookeville and Monterey that has a 5% grade. Most freight carriers slow to a crawl to make it up that grade, Most make it, The ones that do not, end up on the side of the road with their hood up. The ones broken down on the on the side of the road are Volvos.
You're right, Squirrel. That is a huge tree, but it is believable. Those trees rival Giant Sequoias in terms of girth of the base of the tree. But Redwoods are much taller. When SCS was working on American Truck Simulator I begged them to make Redwood country realistic, but... _They didn't._
Can't believe it's been 10 years already since this happened :)

Had this game in my Steam library for months. Your video just made me want to play it. Haven't laughed so much in ages, thanks! :D
The weight of the log at the humpback bridge has actually lifted the wheels of your cab giving you no traction to move either way. It's smart physics really for such a good game that would happen in real life.
I have a question.
In this game can you drive around in normal cars?
Grogritark Unfortunately, no. However, I'd love to, as this game has an amazing map and better driving xD
DragonsPlusPokémon I have been looking for a game that lets you just drive, but have been unable to find one as of yet :( I bought TS2, it's great.
Grogritark Download a car mod.
Grogritark If you want a good free roam driving game, i absolutely recommend BeamNG.Drive! Check it out on steam.
Try out car sim
who still here fuckin with this in 2024
Me his old ets2 vids were fucking great
58 tonnes? 820bhp!!! I took a 70 tonne train in a 540bhp volvo!
would u like a medal 😂😂
Mr. Irish 😂😂😂
i grew up with Scanias and volvo lorrys. Uk to Greece. the Volvo was what my dad last owned. the FH16 with upgraded engine. (don't ask what he done to upgrade, i don't know) just made it very powerful. it was a work horse, not for looks. i will take volvos over anything any day. my childhood was in them beauty's
Truck
I would call it that if the British language was formulated before American English
"but its always in a town that you could never get to in time" in a 800hp truck i challenge that theory.
Watching this in 2016. thug life
Same
Same
+PhazerErazer Me too!
+PhazerErazer same XDD
19:10 This is why I don't use mods. Seriously no one though to test those mods before release
43:08 Is Jesus Christ driving that Renault? I always thought that he would own a Scania.
21:40 should have turned your blinker off!!
This is the most funny video I have ever seen 100/100
2:40 the "R" stands for the retander funktion of the transmission.
A must have for heavy hauls in real life! Other wise your brakes say good bye on a big long slope. They cant handle it and u don't want to punish ur engine for a long time using engine brake.
i laughed so hard on this..so funny :D
trucks do have a lot of buttons with difrrent stuff.
When does the Nice DLC pack come out?
HI SQUIRREL JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU I AM A HUGE FAN AND I SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL
I'm actually trying to find a career that suits me, and trucking might just be the thing I'm looking for, looking closely at a high quality game like this to get the visual "feel" of what to expect a lot of the time helps with painting a greater picture of expectations (I'm no snowflake, I know the reality of things).
Thank you for this video, that's some propper content!
I wish u could tint ur windows in this game
Why does it always say gullable at the bottom of the description

The amount of adverts in your video's is ridiculous.
***** I wondered about that because before I have been watching a video with loads of adverts before and had reload the page for various reasons and then there is no ads. I did not know that was why. Thanks.-))
Gary Lowe use google chrome and add the extension adblocker and adgaurd adblocker hope this helps

In Tennessee, there's a seven-mile stretch on I-40 eastbound between Cookeville and Monterey that has a 5% grade. Most freight carriers slow to a crawl to make it up that grade, Most make it, The ones that do not, end up on the side of the road with their hood up. The ones broken down on the on the side of the road are Volvos.
This was hilariously entertaining to watch. The magical flying Renault.
Now when i go on euro truck simulator 2 in the newest version (1.16.s) there's no 820hp engine option, did they get rid of it or something?
It was added in the tree mod.
Puny Volvo my Argosy 8X6 4 wheel steering 1347BHP MONSTER could pull two
it a simulator and things are supposed to be realistic so i disagree
+JTVgaming I actually just have a massive engine and some wheels so I think I win
+MINEMICS is_not_pleased hmmm and how much horse power
Anyone 2023 lol
this is a best realistic games among the games in the world. weldone
this is the best of the best
You're right, Squirrel. That is a huge tree, but it is believable. Those trees rival Giant Sequoias in terms of girth of the base of the tree. But Redwoods are much taller. When SCS was working on American Truck Simulator I begged them to make Redwood country realistic, but... _They didn't._
I heard the 3rd game will have a DLC that includes Muslim refugees jumping in front of your truck.
That's racist
epic fox who gives a fuck
"muslim extremist refugees" now its no longer racist, makes less sense, but not racist.
