Zilla, I think that some of your traffic issues arise because you should be in the left hand lane on the motorway or multi-lane A roads unless you are overtaking when in the UK. Similarly, when driving in Germany, if you are just tootling along in the left hand lane on the autobahn, you are soon going to be attracting the ire of some Beamer driving nutcase. Oh, and the fine you got for headlight use is that the game requires that you have headlights on when it's raining.
Ah, I was wondering about that, thanks. So outside lane is steady traffic and lane closer to the median is passing. Most excellent. ~ I figured it was something to do with rain on the lights. I learned you have to press "L" twice too, so maybe the first press is for running lights? Thanks!
Hahaha. It was so funny like how you Take those fines. In real life we skip gears and go over the speed limit. For exemple if The speed is like 80 we go on 90. They don t fine us. I do not go just to Spain I deliver to Spain, Czech Republic Hungary, Germany, Italy, France. The thing is most of us have lower salary in România. Like I have 400 euros salary and I Take wages from The job. For exemple from România to Spain I get 600 euros. I have a little girl home and this job pays good for a country like România. We make good money. My baby girl is 2 years now and I m 24 and my wife 23. We are young and we have a kid too. That is why I work as a truck driver. Is not nice to be like 4 days/month home it Takes me 2 weaks to finish a job like that 3000 kilometres. I love this game is so relaxing watching you play. Peace out and keep truckin'. I have The same scania in real life lol but with The 720 engine hp.
I do get a bit faster as I drive more. You can go about 7 kmh over the limit and still not get a speeding ticket, so I try to sit about 5 khm over the limit on highways. :) That's really interesting hearing about your routes and driving. I can imagine that is hard being away from home so much, but like you say, that sounds like a good level of living, and nice to provide for the family!
Just came across your channel man, this is the best trucking sim, can’t wait for this to drop on console, great vid mate regards from London England 👍🏽🏴🇺🇸
Interesting, I know they've often said "in the future." It'd be huge for increasing their sales, and it'd be great if console players could play, for sure.
LOL all those tickets mate you'll soon have no money! Lx 2 is normal lights and Lx1 is side lights thus the other fine for lights. be interested to see how the Realistic Weather mod works actually as it maybe worth adding to my list. loving these videos mate! When you are cruising you can press C to activate your cruise control.
Thanks! Got it: Press L twice for real lights. ~ Is there a way to contest the tickets in court? Is there a lawyer mod? Or a bulk discount if I get lots of tickets? I might need one. ~ I don't know how the modded weather compares to the vanilla weather, but I'm enjoying the modded version. Lightning, thunder, rain, sun. I don't know if there is snow or not. Probably not?
@@ZillaBlitz No snow in the game mechanics default. There is a snow mod for ATS but that just replaces rain textures to be snow and everywhere is white,
Only 4 tickets! Not too bad lol - it's nice to see your driving style hasn't changed too much through the years 😂 I can't wait to see your first attempt at backing into a spot!
Yeah, I kind of wish I didn't start in England, as it was challenging to switch to France in the middle of deliveries. It'd be even harder after a few drinks, for sure! Bravery, that is!
Happy to help! Nope, the timescale is 19:1 on highways, so 1 hour of driving takes about 3 minutes. In cities and rest stops, etc., the time scale is 3:1. Generally a 5-hour drive will take me about 20-30 minutes, depending on things like traffic lights and how much city driving there is.
Thanks Flakey, it's definitely relaxing. The big next question is if it's a relaxing beer game. Driving and drinking generally not a good combination, for sure.
Pretty tight exit from the starting place there! 😂 I have no idea what sandwich panels are! I looked it up, it’s some sort of construction material! Oh man, 3 fines already! 🤣 This game likes to punish you! That bridge is one of the Severn crossing bridges that you have to go over to get into Wales! 😊
It's funny, I haven't seen this video for a while, but as soon as I saw your comment I knew exactly the "tight exit" you were referring to. I wonder if it wouldn't seem so intimidating now that I've got some hours in the game. ~ Yeah, I piled up a ton of fees early on. Actually, come to think of it, I still pile up tons of fees. :) ~ Thanks for the bridge info, the game has a lot of random famous bridges scattered about. I should really look up more about them as I'm driving around. That might make for a fun episode. ~ Thanks for watching, TS!
@@ZillaBlitz I’m guessing it was one of the worst so far then! 😂 The fines aren’t the worst but it appears they don’t always explain the reasoning behind them very well! That would be pretty cool! It’s nice that they added in famous landmarks! Adds to the realism of the simulator! 😊

Don’t know if you ever figured it out, but in the options you can have the camera turn with you when you turn the wheel. Excellent for controllers.
Thanks! I did eventually figure that out, but it took me about to episode 80-something, I think. :)

It really is a ton of fun, yes. I don't think there are immediate plans for a port to consoles. I might be wrong, though.
@@ZillaBlitz mud this year early 2025 apparently

No worries, I can live with no snow as long as the earthquake textures work fine.

It does probably say a lot that after 3 years of playing the game my driving hasn't changed that much. Haha! :)
I absolutely refuse to get any contracts for the UK as the whole driving on the left thing falls apart for me after a few bourbon. :)
Yeah, I kind of wish I didn't start in England, as it was challenging to switch to France in the middle of deliveries. It'd be even harder after a few drinks, for sure! Bravery, that is!
Does the drive actually take 5 hours in real time? Actually it looks like it does. I am excited to purchase this!

@@ZillaBlitz Ahhh gotcha! Thanks for your quick response. I’m playing this first thing tomorrow!
Enjoy! It's such a chill game. :)@@nnedi5971
8:38 it maybe the river 7 Made for the M4. Squirrel told me that

This game looks so relaxing! :) I enjoy watching it! Good stuff my friend!
Thanks Flakey, it's definitely relaxing. The big next question is if it's a relaxing beer game. Driving and drinking generally not a good combination, for sure.
@@ZillaBlitz Think you should stick to coffee in case there are kids watching :)
Good point, yes! Or ... I could put it in a coffee mug!
@@ZillaBlitz Thats the way to do it! :) just strange when your on your 9th mug of coffee in the same episode! ;)
Hahaha! Yeah, no worries with that. Not a big drinker, usually just none, one or two. :)
today is this videos birthday!
Cool! Four years ago?

That's the big bridge into Wales.
Awesome, thanks! That makes sense with the geography, yes. I have become smarter.
@@ZillaBlitz I did love you getting pulled over 3 times for driving with your lights off!
Hahaha. I know, right? I wonder if it was the same cop each time? :)
prince of wales bridge
the big bridge was the prince of wales bridge
Thanks! :)
I had 0 fines on my 2nd job
Nice work!
3:56

Press L 2 times to not to get fined
Oh, I didn't know that, even now. Thanks! I probably won't use it, as I don't mind the fines, but it's good to know! :)
