What I hate is that when you get to an intersection where you have to give way to crossing traffic, they stop for you because you're just a little too close to them. And you then have too little space to drive into the intersection. And often when you enter it, the traffic suddenly starts moving again and then you get a collision.
also eeeeevery time they crash into you and it's not your fault, you pay anyway... that's why i play w/o damages and fines... also i kinda like to have a heavy foot on the gas pedal... xD
I think SCS should make it mandatory to pull the windows down when at a border post, or toll booth, since that's realistic, good immersion and very easy to implement.
The ETS2 world does feel dead and I wish SCS could add more people walking about, getting out of their cars and walking into the shop or going into a cafe even if SCS could make it as an option that would be a great start and I have had friends and other players asking me why I don't have map mods and the simple question is whenever SCS brings out a map DLC or updates the current map the map mods brake and you have to wait for the map authors to fix them which can be annoying
I am surprised you didn't mention my personal big annoyance. Right lane (left lane in UK) ending in an exit, usually without any warning. SCS is trying to eliminate this in new map DLCs and reworked maps, but until the whole original and Going East map will be reworked, it will still be there to annoy us.
If you haven't worked it out, Little piece of advice, look at the overhead signs on the motorways, all peeling exits will be marked by it's own sign. For example let's say it''s the M1 the peeling lane will have a sign above saying Manchester with an arrow pointing to the left lane, the middle and right lane will have a sign above saying Birmingham and Grimsby with arrows pointing to those lanes. TL:DR One long sign equals no peeling, 2 signs means peeling.

UK without pro mods is horrendous. That map screams for a full remake and a potential DLC that includes the rest of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The AI does behave really stupid at roundabouts but is more common when you drive in Eastern Europe. Someone once wrote that you're more the truck than the driver and he was completely right. SCS started taking small steps towards this but they're still pretty far. We need more interaction with the world.
I agree! One way around the France/Spain Tolls is to use the Telepass although you can only drive less than 25-30km/h else, you'll just crash into the barrier. Another annoying thing is when the brake air pressure is too low and you have to wait with the engine idling for it to come back.
The npc’s seem to lack general awareness of were the player is in a lot of situations, so they just drive in to you at roundabouts, when merging on highways and at tollbooths… also the amount of tollbooths, especially in France, is ridiculous. This all is partly the reason I started playing ATS a bit more, I really hate the ‘standard’ US trucks though, so I got a cabover mod from the steam workshop and drive that exclusively. ATS has its issues too of course, but I have way less ncp related issues then I had in ETS.
France also has amount of tollbooths in real life. If ETS2 players really hate tollbooths, why don't you all just tell EU to demolish all the tollbooths in Europe?
Even in ATS I've had issues with the AI driving into me. Two issues, 1 doing around 5mph over limit on a ramp to the interstate, in the left lane with the merge coming up and a guy in the right lane drives as though I don't exist and rams me, I get fined. 2 leaving a gas station after fueling and a Mustang that left the pumps after me, drives straight into me, again, I get fined. The AI does need work. Of course, that last one fits with the stereotype of a Mustang driver.
This video perfectly nailed all my pain in ETS2. The roundabout one is so accurate Also, I hate that whenever you crash with an AI, you always get the ticket, no matter who's fault it is. Imagine getting randomly rammed from the side while driving inside a roundabout then getting a ticket for it. Pain.
@@tairikuokami Yeah, I always yield to vehicles in the roundabout whenever I ever it, but the AI vehicles never do that whenever I'm the one in the roundabout and they end up ramming into my trailer
@@GL1tch3r5 I have 2000 hours on ETS and AI vehicle never rammed me on a roundabout unjustified. Trucks are like trams they slightly go over the lane in a curve and then it can happen.
@@tairikuokami other day i had another truck cut in front of me on a roundabout so i slammed on brakes only to have a second truck come and slam into the side of me from the same entrance...
Tip for roundabout (RB) driving in both ETS and the few RB's in ATS! ignore the traffic rules and always use the right lane in the RB, the ai in the inner lane will always stop and let you past, havent had a crash in a RB for ages since i started to just hog the outerlane or in smalles one..just dominate the road and use the whole width of the RB, always use the leftmost gate in tollboths, you will not be hit in the right side from AI drivers....
Yeh I find that when I use the left-most toll booth, I rarely if ever get blindsided by AI cars, but if there are AI trucks on your right, they sometimes just merge in front of you, forcing you to either brake, change lanes, or collide with them.
I would like to be able to see the (un)explored roads from the job selection screen, without having to go back to the map itself, then back to the job screen.
I agree with most of the points, however most of them can be solved with mods, sometimes even just a change to textures and changing the vegetation might help, instead of whole map mod (like New Summer mod, changes road textures and vegetation on base maps, looks much better). Or giving up on updates like I did. I was tired of fixing my mods all the time, and ages to download updates. Anyway, what I hate are new AI traffic vehicles with "GTA style" design, instead of real vehicles with no logos like before. That's a step back. Variety on cost of quality. I hate one-lane highway crossroads on base map, that is so dumb and I doubt it ever existed on any highway site in the world. I also hate like you mentioned lack of game world interaction, pedestrian crossings, people on bicycles, more people in streets, at services, etc. At least animation of handing over the job papers on borders or company entrances would improve the game. Interaction with police would be also better! Old SCS games like PTTM even had cruiser in pursuit behind you if you cause major traffic violation! Why that doesn't work today.. And about emergency vehicles - ambulances, police, firetrucks passing by with lights and siren, traffic pulling over - that would cut the boredom of driving on highways in long jobs! Of course with proper country-respective siren, not one for all like now, as Germany of France don't use wail siren like SCS has, but 2-tone, French even 3-tone (usually on private ambulance or gas emergency services). Police driving in front of you, navigating you for example to near gas station to pull you over safely, that would be cool.. But that all sounds like fantasy with SCS :D And last, about Iveco, that was my starter truck, I liked Hi-Way :D Now I am driving Renault Range T Evo since it was added. SCS should really add new Iveco S-Way, that would help with Iveco popularity.
The most stressfull thing for me, is the framedrops because of yes. Im running the game fine and somehow it feels like it's falling from 120 to 20, or even worse, teleporting forward, even in singleplayer... Btw, i mainly drive Scania, but Iveco Stralis for the win!
G'day MrPotatoMan, What CPU + GPU & how much RAM do you have ??? & what settings are you using ??? Running MSI Afterburner with some basic statistics on screen including "CPU Usage", "GPU Usage", "RAM Usage", VRAM Usage" & "Frametime Graph" is a good way to see what is happening with your fps consistency & whether it is CPU or GPU causing the problems. Ps if you would like some more help beyond this I am happy to lend a hand if I can.
@@titan8976And the slow load of every chunk in newly reworked areas and added DLC areas. They need to optimize it as they are very high in poly count as well.
For me I rarely go to the UK as I'm not often used to driving in the left side of the road and I agreed that the rework is long overdue now. - Besides I do sometimes go to the UK whenever I deliver there. 🙂
I do go in the UK mostly for the 2 or 3 really nice sceneries it has to offer (Humber Bridge near Hull, Welsh Highlands on A469 between Swansea and Liverpool, small bits of Scotland) Even though it isn't fresh since it's litteraly from 2010, it's still a nice place to be, the vibe feels nice (and I'm sure that with Promods it feels even more nice) I do have a sign mod for that country though.
@@shaneeslick another Aussie here, I don't mind driving in the UK (except they insist on still using Imperial measurements FFS!!!). I agree it does sorely need an update though, and maybe adding Ireland (both Republic & Northern) to the map would be cool. Would also like to see Greece, and further north into Scandinavia (I don't use ProMods for the reasons mentioned in this video). I base myself in Deutschland because it's fairly central to the rest of the map.
The one thing that makes me totally freak out is the AI in general. No awareness of the player, constantly doing things no one would do in RL and so on. You can he as close as you want to a perfect run and boom... they will ruin this experience right away. Second would be the GPS which too often tells too late to change a lane if you didn't pay attention.
@@themisterchristie yep. Thing is that the triggers for those actions are waaaay to close in some cases. And if you also got the borders set to be not displayed (xxxxx) you will probably and off the map🙄
that emergency braking activates when. youre turning at 10kph for litterally no reason and then you have to go into the menu and turn it off because it wont let you continue (sadly its kind lf realistic that those things activate for no reason)
@@partyingpotatoes7579 yeah man i just downgraded to 1.48.5 to use promods and have installed a bunch of other graphical/sound improvements and uk/ireland is absolutely gorgeous. especially the entrance to northern wales, i've been down that road quite a few times irl and it captures the coastal roads perfectly.
I've been driving in the UK a lot with my current save, as I use promods and I'm from the UK. It's definitely improved the UK a lot but more needs to be done, at least by SCS.
One thing is, whenever you are caught speeding or hit someone, the police should stop you and fine you after doing some pursuit. It was there in 18 wheels of steel. I used to get a higher powered truck and outran the cruisers. Had a laugh whenevr that happens. One thing i dont miss is the NPC interaction. I get enough of that IRL thank you very much.
Loved doing that, it was a rush. Used to love just toying with the Police AI and taking off ramps and quickly turning around on the freeways and snaking my way around the various exits and stuff and seeing them have a hard time tryna catch me getting stuck on a guardrail XD!
I hate there aren't any rigid trucks, multi drop work, or any contracts. Such as move stuff for this company and get paid at the end of a week, or having to move so much in a certain time etc. I also think they should rework the gearboxes on trucks. The trucks in game shift way too quickly, and dont jolt or shudder like the real life ones do
0:36 Don't make it look like as if you loaded or unloaded at Tramerie with your B-triple since this is impossible due to too short triger/bad position of the trigger there
2 things i Loath 1. when the AI crashes into you and your the one that gets fined 2. when the speed limit changes quite a lot and there's a speed camera right behind the sign so your guaranteed to get a speeding fine
My least favourite thing is when cars brake check you in the middle of a highway for no reason. My intrusive thoughts get the best of me, and I end up ramming into them out of anger. Wouldn't do that irl, but this game sometimes do that to me lmao
you were 110% right abt these things ,scs should work on these especially interacton ,like one u forgot to add was flling fuel to our truck by getting off it and filling manually and some interactions in the fuel station store too
Ability to customize the character, walk out of truck, talk to ppl, pick a fight with a baseball bat with some bad driver, corrupt cops eager for a bribe, hitchhikers, animals on road, dispatcher talks with some humor, ability to have a woman on a resting place, more music, dangerous cargo hella exploding when you have road accident, dirty roads (smth like MudRunner but not THAT dirty), water physics and pools on roads, cows going MOOO. That's my wish list. I was very surprised they rly did smth that I wanted before: sounds, better trees, antialiasing (after 12 years!), Moon, correct stars sky (it was random and imaginary for many years) and now they talking about seasons.
The roundabouts, especially those multi-lane ones, are giving me a headache and ended up in fear. I think the roundabout rules we have here in Australia is really good, especially for multi-lane roundabouts. You will never need to change lanes (actually you can't in most scenarios) inside the roundabout and certain lane can only exit the roundabout from certain exit(s) because we treat it more like a normal intersection with different giveway rules. For exampe, assume it's a two-lane 4-exit roundabout with all 4 connected roads also have 2 lanes in each direction, more likely the outer lane (left-most lane since we drive on the left hand side) must exits from the first (turning left) or second (going straight) exit (on the left lane of these exits). The inner lane (right lane) must exits from the second (going straight) or thrid exit (turning right) or any exits after going pass the thrid exit (on the right lane of these exits). There will always be painted arrows on the ground, sometimes also with a huge road sigh on the side, before entering the roundabout telling drivers which exits they can use. Traffic lines in the roundabout will also help drivers to find their usable exits.
About tolls in France, this is actually realistic according to the scale of the map compared to IRL. We have tolls litteraly everywhere on our highways it's ridiculous
true, but keep in mind that the map in ETS2 is at a scale of 1:10. So when in reality there are toll boths, say, every 50km, in ETS2 it feels likey they come ever 5 km. You barely accelerate your truck to full speed and, lo and behold, there's the next toll both. Real life France isn't _that_ bad.
and why is the right side of the toll gates always closed in every country? Like real drivers irl using that lane and staying on the left side as a trucker feels not normal 😂 Nice video btw
Even if it's not fresh, I still do enjoy some of the British landscapes, especially the Humber bridge near Hull which I really enjoy, the scenery is really nice. And also the A469 across Welsh Highlands, between Swansea and Liverpool. Sadly I don't remember Scotland that much but that's definitely somewhere I enjoy going to. But yes, it needs some refreshing, and I completely agree with you, once the rework will be out, every other part in the map would feel old. 3:02 Trust me, we have tolls everywhere, okay they're not that close from each other, but still. Tolls everywhere, to suck every ounce of money in your soul. (That's how it feels in real life) For me, the main bottlenecks of this game are lack of realism on some points e.g : trains, level crossings, and the f**king traffic not slowing down when you overtake. About trains : have you ever seen the TGV while cruising to Nice or whatever else city in France ? Did you notice that it's incredibly short ? I also noticed the lack of train variety on the old parts of the map, where you see BR185s hauling a freight most of the time. It has gotten better with the newly mapped parts with more variety. Level crossings... Why does every level crossing needed to be coded as a Czech level crossing, and have that annoying Czechoslovak bell jamming ? No, stop this. Okay, this might not seem very important but I think it's still steps to improve realism and immersion in the game. And now the traffic. Okay in some ways it is realistic, but sometimes it's completely broken, like, please, tell that lorry that I want to overtake him... Unless it's an ADR lorry, I will never overtake him, they never slow down as per the rules when you overtake...
You mean A483 as funny enough I live where the A469 runs through my town of Bargoed between Rhymney and Cardiff. If it was to be put into the game they would have to add loads of roadworks as Caerphilly Borough love roadworks and closures lol.
I love driving in the UK, I mainly drive UK to UK and stay there, fair enough Esbjerg, close places in Spain, Roscoff (France), Brest (France) and up to Paris and Le Havre, and of course Calais, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Apart from those international places in deliveries, I like to stay in UK. But sometimes I do go out of the UK to explore the rest of the map.
For a long time, closing takes several minutes. Maybe by syncing with the Steam cloud, maybe by a large number of mods. Errors in voice navigation in the UK. Navigation tells me to go straight when I have to turn or recommends a turn when I have to go straight in relation to what I see in front of me. The UK needs some tweaking though. The developers of Alskan Trucker are right. I feel in ETS2 and ATS like a truck, not a truck driver. I feel more as a truck driver in "On the Road" when I have get out to make some actions. There is also no tachometer and real working time, i.e. 4.5 hours of driving, a break of 4.5 and sleep and again 4.5 hours ... like in others General cargo would also be welcome. I arrive, I take several loads and I have several unloadings in several cities where I can add more loads.
They need to add a feature if you own a trailer that you can pick up more cargos (jobs) and delivery it to same company or more companies. For example, your trailer has 10 pallets storage, you take 3 from one company and 7 from other company and you need to delivery it to 2 companies or they can do like weight wise, trailer can carry 20t cargo, you can pick up 3-4 jobs at once. For me, it would make ETS more realistic. On the road got that feature in the game and it is so awesome and intresting to play, but other things make game boring. Also pedestrians, make them more realistic like using crosswalks, running around etc.
Mirrors.... Years I playes ETS2/ATS, and I still can't see if my trailer is parrallel to something else ( other trailer, line, wall...) AI traffic in general. And some lacks. Interactivity like you said, but option to have papers too, and full other stuff that a real trucker do. - When you take a mission, must walk to a bureau to take papers (and why not complete a form). And there, the person will say the dock where you must go. And the same for the end of mission. - Eat, drink, take a shower. Even if there is no animation, but there is some expense to that) - And, moreover, a REAL shop. Like in some games as Star citizen. Walking in the alleys, trying some articles buy it. All of that in option of course. I know tome e-truckers just want to drive. I'd love also having multiple courses. A company could need to deliver some needs to different cities. And more, hving the possibility to take several missions in the same time in the limit of the trailer. But then, every goods would have am additionnal caracteristic : dimensions. Easier way would be just the volume. If there is still room in the trailer, you can take a mission which need less volume than the empty space still available. Harder would be 3 dimension occupied in the trailer, with a kind of Tetris game to fit a maximum of goods XD. And... naps. Sleeping gameplay is too rigid. It's 6.30am, in front of the truck seller. The shop opens @0800. one and a half hour to wait (approx 4min30 irl). An eternity. If you sleep, it's 9h spent so, 7.30 for nothing. In fact time-limit in world of truck is no good. I would prefer a legal time limit gauge on one hand, and tiredness gauge on the other (so, 3 gauges, tiredness, hungry and thirst). I am in ATS for now, and driving time limits are not so simple as in the game. 11h driving a day in 14h of spread (if you begin at 7:00, you must stop your driving day at 21:00, and you cannot drive more than 11h (day meaning a period of 24h) A trucker can't drive more than 52h in 7 days or 60h in 8 days. With the possibility to choose the duration of rest, the game could take those limits in account. And it can propose a car rent to explore the area XD.
driving in the uk imo is my favorite part because of how many non rhd games there are, unless you want to play something like the forza horizon games (3-4) there's not many rhd based games with dedicated rhd vehicles. it just really needs a rework because atm its just stuck feeling outdated like a 2009 game
It would be nice to add more variety to deliveries. Like making it so that you deliver cars or furniture to a fancy mansion or something. I absolutely love delivering to shopping malls and other big yards that you have to navigate.
After trying out all the trucks I have to say the Iveco Hi Way is my favorite. And I'm not using any sound mods, because the sounds do not sound so "sharp" like other truck's engines, it's comfortable for the ears, plus they are very stable at higher speeds in more narrow turns.
Worst thing about tolls tho (well, at least for me) is that it's hard to memorize or see the transponder payment lanes, which do not require you to completely stop and wait a few seconds before starting to move. Sometimes i even crashed into the closed lane barriers because of the low visibility. It sucks
I hope the new game engine will allow for fixes of some of the issues with the game(A.I. cars, pedestrians, the anti aliasing maybe proper vegitation rather than the abomination we have been having since 2012, and the thing i want to most being able to walk out of my truck open doors, sign documents like a mix between on the road and my summer car)
one thing i would love in this game is if scs took some idea from DTG (train sims) where in the newer train sim games its super interactive for the player. i.e Getting out drivers seat and walking around (this would most likely have to be limited to a certain radius like 1kmaway from the truck) ,Openeng doors/cab windiws (windows we have), Fueling up manually (get out,animation for fuel cap, fill up) more in cab buttons are pressable (this would be fore mainly M&K players for ets/ats but still works whith a wheel as its just mouse movement to press said in cab buttons) also they need to update the stanav to the ats one which is nicer and cleaner
I, too, hate driving in the UK on ETS2. Promods have made the experience slightly more enjoyable, but it drastically needs a re-haul. Apparently, it's not something of a priority for SCS. We are a long way down on the 'To Do' list behind Germany and many of the smaller countries in Europe.
A.I in ATS.Especiallu when they join the highway from a side road or an adjacent road, they don't have any sense whatsoever about a truck coming at 65 mphs on the first lane. They will just join the highway , accelerating from maybe 30-35. If the second lane is busy, well , the only option is to slow down or swerve to avoid them
We can also add the ai's sudden braking. It should see the speed limit sign and slowly reduce its speed but it suddenly slows down right next to the sign, or after passing the sign. Dude, theres a truck with a huge tonnage behind you.
Most things I agree with however driving in France the main motorway in France (the A10) has quite a few tolls but I prefer driving on the back roads which is no where near as bad but you can't go faster than about 80kms
I had the roundabout AI problem and I still do sometimes, but much less. The reason they are entering the roundabout with you in it is because you're doing it wrong (and so was I). I just finished my C category license and with trucks you're not supposed to do the roundabout on the inside, you need to go always on the outside. Some old school truckers still do it from the inside, but that's not what is being taught nowadays. If you're gonna exit second or third exit, signal to the inside of the roundabout but actually do it from the outside. You're gonna see a HUGE improvement in the AI behavior. The only thing that you need to stay aware is that they might try to get on the inside of the roundabout if you are coming on a two lane road to the roundabout. But people in real life will do that too, so it's actually realistic.
My home garage for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is in London, UK, and I agree, I think it needs a rework, it's one of the oldest countries in the game now and I think it is time for a change. Also, SCS needs to add the rest of the UK which is Northern Ireland, because even though the country is listed as 'United Kingdom' its not actually the entire chain of the United Kingdom, it's just Great Britain, so they need to add Northern Ireland as part of the base game, and as the UK, to complete that chain of countries in the UK. Also, as well as adding Northern Ireland, they need to also add the Republic of Ireland too, to add to the base game, and that it borders Northern Ireland, and that we still don't have part of the map being black.
I wish we could unload the trailers. Maybe start with the low loader and being able to drive of the delivered equipment, then move to empty your own trailer, like if you delivered drinks or pallets. Would be awesome. I also wished it was a bit more companymanagment then just buy and assigning new drivers. Make contracts with larger companies, getting your own warehouse, colab trailers, and so on
3:34 - because you must not exit from the middle of the roundabout, unless the lanes allow you to do so. In this example it was you that violated the law 😜 But yeah, on the older roundabouts, especially in the UK, drivers drive like this by design and cause collisions...
What I like a about this game is that the dlcs aren’t too expensive and affordable because in some other games they r like super expensive to buy stuff with real money sooo
For me, what's missing the most are characters and animations. We need cinematics when we're being controlled, when we're taking the ferry or loading equipment. There should also be pedestrians in the cities, as the fact that cities are made up entirely of cars makes the game experience less immersive
1. Slow vehicles. - mod- "AI Truck Speed" 3. Lack of challenge - change max_vehicle_count: in traffic_data.sii to a bigger number (up to 100%) More vehicles will appear everywhere, both parked and driving. Also try a mod that changes the physics like "Drifting Physics". x. Snoozing - Tick the box "fatigue" in game options off. Snoozing will disappear. xx.Last. CRASHES - You have a trailer or a truck (more often trailer or cargo for it) that cannot be loaded in the game world. Find which and switch it off. Also a crash usually leads to the desktop (throws you out of game but not of Windows). A crash with a blue creen means heavy system error or overloading - hence your comp is old or has suffered heavy system damages which led to being in bad shape; is on the end of its powers ...
ETS 2 and ATS are very good games but yes, I think like you that we need more interaction outside the truck, the possibility of getting out of the truck, hand papers, check truck oil an other mechanical thing a trucker need to control and as optional for the ones that want it for immersion, survival options like getting on the gas stop shop and buy a coffee, food, use of bathroom, etc...
While I haven't played a lot of ETS2, more ATS, I agree with everything here, especially the poor AI and lack of interaction. All these points would help improve ATS also. On the case of AI, I've been fined in ATS for a crash, when the AI car would ignore the giant rolling wall and run into the side of my truck. One time was on a ramp between interstates, I'm in the left lane, running about 5mph over speed limit and a Ford Explorer decides it would be good to pass on the right and try to merge into my truck. He had plenty of knowledge of the upcoming merge before he got along side of me.
sorry but it’s very realistic for the France toll’s here we have a lot of tolls everywhere on the highway and sometime in the middle of the highway for like nothing
@@thegotlandisfarmer8774 yeah for a north west to south on the higway it should probably cost you 130€ (same price or a little bit expensive for the train)
Why would you need traffic mode, when in documents > ets2 > config > traffic or something like that and you can get how much traffic you want, starts with 1 but max is 10 and you can get more pedestrians and stuff there :D then save and it's done
I know there's an option to disable them, but road closures/diversions are a huge pain. To be 2 hours from your destination, with 4 hours to your sleep break and 5 hours to complete the delivery, feeling like everything's under control, and suddenly your junction is closed and there's a 7-hour diversion - or worse, there are points where there's really no valid option other than to drive round the cones and try to avoid the fire engines and the air ambulance, especially at the edges of the base map if you don't have the connecting DLC. It just destroys the immersion. Anywhere where there can be a road closure should have an alternative route - slower, of course, but usable. I'm actually fine with most of your points, except the British map which is woefully inadequate. I'll be so happy when it has scenic villages and other points of interest like France or the new Swiss update. Oh, and Trameri. I try not to take any job delivering to them!
The thing I absolutely utterly hate in this game is a poor variety of cargo types. THIS IS LITERALLY A GAME ABOUT CARGO DELIVERY! There should be tens of thousands of different things to carry. Especially when it comes to the most profitable cargos. ESPECIALLY because all they'd have to do to add a type is a freakin picture, name and price. One guy could add thousands of this in one day.
i wish there was more map interaction an better planning options in this game and ats as well especcially the delviery time you have limits but its never a problem if you are 13h or a day before the time you should be to make the delivery, id like it if there was an option to turn on that you cant deliver to a companie if youre to early or at certain times for example in the middle of the night id also like a feature where you can do multiple dropoffs with one load or even loading your trailer by yourself like a minigame playing tetris with your load or maybe have certain goods that cannot be moved through some country because of regulations or if you had simple police interactions like if they pull you over for different reasons that would upgrade the games so much
It would be cool to be meet your own trucks in the traffic. And maybe be able to dispatch them. Instead of they are just going home empty or loaded. And maybe charge for your work instead of you always will hit a big profit for a long job. Would be cool to make contracts for your own work. And I fully agree with you on we need some kind of document to hand over and be able to fail a inspection. (Maybe because of your own contract) Be able to get out and couple and uncouple trailers and maybe secure the load (maybe simplify it like in fs20). Just some ideas. 😅🤷♂️
What i hate is when you buy a truck in the online menu and spend all your time to pimp the truck and when you buy it the game says that your garage is full AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
😂 What I find annoying about the Online Dealership is now thanks to an update this earlier year you have had to have bought 5 Trucks to get access, So while you can go to Truck Browser to try all the options available you can't go to see how many $$$$$$ you need to save for your Dream Truck 😞
@@elisouille_buscarscamions I hadn't played ETS2 for a few years & didn't remember the 5 truck limit so just to clarify a timeline 🤔are you saying... the 5 limit was there, then an Update Broke it, now it was reimplemented with the update fixing it again earlier this year
@@shaneeslick Well no, I think that the old limit they have was broken because you would buy 5 truck, sell 4 of them, and you would have access to the online dealer anyway. And now this isn't possible anymore, you need to have 5 permanent trucks in your garage to access the online dealer. Don't quote me on this but I guess that's how it is.
1:34 The UK map is so old now, it desperately needs some love just to catch up with the rest of the map in terms of realism and complexity. Hopefully it will get that love soon.
Hello 👋 Some areas of France are unluckily full of tolls-area also in real life. For example Monaco to LeCastellet/CircuitPaulRicard is a pain in the neck: every 5/6km on that highway is a continous stop for paying leg by leg the same highway. Even in Italy, from where I write, we are not so smashed 😅 But SCS maybe decided to be realistic as in real life. Cheers from Monza 👍 Marco Lazzari [iKG]
1:37 you're surprised, you were driving practically in the middle of the roundabout and when you were going down you didn't even turn on the turn signal
Yes, I don't like the tolls in ETS2 either. Every few miles there's another toll. Maybe it's really like that in Europe, but in the US, the toll booths are only on the entrance and exit ramps when you enter and exit the expressway. Never on the expressway, itself (there are a few exceptions to this, but not many) .
We hate so much falling down from a convoy server all the time!!! In 1.48 a bug was introduced that kicks people from a server with more than 4 truckers.
i absolutely hate it when i'm doing an oversized cargo delivery, and my front pilot just stops on the highway or on a roundabout for a minute or so for no reason
i believe UK map was just straight up ported from UK truck simulator, ets2 predecessor, or atleast most of it, so yeah its decade old map that longs for rework. I drive in UK, because irl we use Right Hand Steer (i kinda dont want to mess up my driving intuition if i switch steering)
Honestly my biggest regret is that the world feels dead even tho it obviously took a lot of work. One great way would be adding supermarkets with local produce and the ability to fill your truck's cabin with food and stuff. Would make it more immersive too.
I have traffic violations off for one particular reason : roundabouts. I lost track on the number of times the ai decides to jam itself into my trailer resulting me getting fined for causing an accident.
I would definitely like to see ETS 3 and ATS2 with amazing graphics, world interaction, going for a walk outside the truck. A complete remake of the game. Its starting to really feel old
It's a bit strange how they haven't added the Drivers Digital Tacho Card for Driving time and have to stick to them or you get penalty from the authorities It happens in the UK not sure about Europe And not being able to drive trucks on Sundays in France
i completely disagree with with your statement 3:36. things like that do happen in real life but not in every roundabout, cars merging and crashing into you on the highway, trucks change lanes when youre overtaking them this includes cars. another thing you forgot to mention is when a truck (85kmh) is overtaking another truck (90kmh) and this goes on for ages, this of course happens with other vehicles like buses and cars. you mention pulling heavy cargo and going through the toll gates in france and i agree with that but im sure the toll gates in poland are by far worse and more annoying when you have to completely stop, now try that with 61t behind you :D

I wish SCS would add a way to see your colleagues driving your trucks or to see all your trucks in your garage.
it would be really good
And I thought you were able to see them :/ oh well
True.
Would be good, but that would require a whole lot more CPU usage. Definitely feasible, but would need some serious coding work.
They should also add way to give driver trailer, because they don't use it always.
What I hate is that when you get to an intersection where you have to give way to crossing traffic, they stop for you because you're just a little too close to them. And you then have too little space to drive into the intersection. And often when you enter it, the traffic suddenly starts moving again and then you get a collision.
HEAVY ON THIS
Yup... "Oh my god, this truck stopped 2 milimeters further than others! What do I do!? I better let him go, he's crazy!"
also eeeeevery time they crash into you and it's not your fault, you pay anyway... that's why i play w/o damages and fines... also i kinda like to have a heavy foot on the gas pedal... xD
And of course YOU have to pay 500€
like some idiots in real life 🤭
i always say to me, they just texting their phones and dont pay much attention to traffic
I think SCS should make it mandatory to pull the windows down when at a border post, or toll booth, since that's realistic, good immersion and very easy to implement.
Also when looking backwarts out of the window in first person cam

The ETS2 world does feel dead and I wish SCS could add more people walking about, getting out of their cars and walking into the shop or going into a cafe even if SCS could make it as an option that would be a great start and I have had friends and other players asking me why I don't have map mods and the simple question is whenever SCS brings out a map DLC or updates the current map the map mods brake and you have to wait for the map authors to fix them which can be annoying

So basically you want GTA V attention to detail in ETS 2
We need more cabin interactions. A/C, setting up radio from tape, maybe a fridge, cabin lights without mods etc.
I am surprised you didn't mention my personal big annoyance. Right lane (left lane in UK) ending in an exit, usually without any warning. SCS is trying to eliminate this in new map DLCs and reworked maps, but until the whole original and Going East map will be reworked, it will still be there to annoy us.
If you haven't worked it out, Little piece of advice, look at the overhead signs on the motorways, all peeling exits will be marked by it's own sign. For example let's say it''s the M1 the peeling lane will have a sign above saying Manchester with an arrow pointing to the left lane, the middle and right lane will have a sign above saying Birmingham and Grimsby with arrows pointing to those lanes. TL:DR One long sign equals no peeling, 2 signs means peeling.

Old textury and graphic
UK without pro mods is horrendous. That map screams for a full remake and a potential DLC that includes the rest of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The AI does behave really stupid at roundabouts but is more common when you drive in Eastern Europe. Someone once wrote that you're more the truck than the driver and he was completely right. SCS started taking small steps towards this but they're still pretty far. We need more interaction with the world.
I agree and even with promods it's still lacking a bit. I think a "UK & Ireland" DLC is needed where the UK gets a major rework and Ireland is added.

For me, being in a motorway just to see the fast lane cars going 60 kmh is just pain
Edit, I just literally obliterated a car that was full stop in the motorway at night while going 90 on the slow lane
Especially when everyone on the road slows down to city speed for absolutely no reason
@@yourbigfan1777Its so robotic, you would think they are going into an f1 pit lane.
I agree! One way around the France/Spain Tolls is to use the Telepass although you can only drive less than 25-30km/h else, you'll just crash into the barrier. Another annoying thing is when the brake air pressure is too low and you have to wait with the engine idling for it to come back.
Put it in Neutral and start revving.
The npc’s seem to lack general awareness of were the player is in a lot of situations, so they just drive in to you at roundabouts, when merging on highways and at tollbooths… also the amount of tollbooths, especially in France, is ridiculous. This all is partly the reason I started playing ATS a bit more, I really hate the ‘standard’ US trucks though, so I got a cabover mod from the steam workshop and drive that exclusively. ATS has its issues too of course, but I have way less ncp related issues then I had in ETS.
France also has amount of tollbooths in real life. If ETS2 players really hate tollbooths, why don't you all just tell EU to demolish all the tollbooths in Europe?
Even in ATS I've had issues with the AI driving into me. Two issues, 1 doing around 5mph over limit on a ramp to the interstate, in the left lane with the merge coming up and a guy in the right lane drives as though I don't exist and rams me, I get fined. 2 leaving a gas station after fueling and a Mustang that left the pumps after me, drives straight into me, again, I get fined.
The AI does need work. Of course, that last one fits with the stereotype of a Mustang driver.
whenever i feel dumb, i'll just remember that someone x-rayed an empty flatbed.
Why would someone x-ray a flatbed? :D
@@cernoch9849 you can hide contraband or drugs under the trailer bed or around the chassis. This isn't practical but it's still a thing.
This video perfectly nailed all my pain in ETS2. The roundabout one is so accurate
Also, I hate that whenever you crash with an AI, you always get the ticket, no matter who's fault it is. Imagine getting randomly rammed from the side while driving inside a roundabout then getting a ticket for it. Pain.
You are supposed to yield vehicles on the roundabout, like in this video, the vehicle had the right of way.
@@tairikuokami Yeah, I always yield to vehicles in the roundabout whenever I ever it, but the AI vehicles never do that whenever I'm the one in the roundabout and they end up ramming into my trailer
@@GL1tch3r5 I have 2000 hours on ETS and AI vehicle never rammed me on a roundabout unjustified. Trucks are like trams they slightly go over the lane in a curve and then it can happen.
@@tairikuokami Then you're lucky i suppose, even when I am driving mod cars and buses I get randomly rammed from the side all the time
@@tairikuokami other day i had another truck cut in front of me on a roundabout so i slammed on brakes only to have a second truck come and slam into the side of me from the same entrance...
Tip for roundabout (RB) driving in both ETS and the few RB's in ATS! ignore the traffic rules and always use the right lane in the RB, the ai in the inner lane will always stop and let you past, havent had a crash in a RB for ages since i started to just hog the outerlane or in smalles one..just dominate the road and use the whole width of the RB, always use the leftmost gate in tollboths, you will not be hit in the right side from AI drivers....
Yeh I find that when I use the left-most toll booth, I rarely if ever get blindsided by AI cars, but if there are AI trucks on your right, they sometimes just merge in front of you, forcing you to either brake, change lanes, or collide with them.
Or just move to the right lane before your exit or right after the previous exit, it isn't against the law, and it works. Ofc in the UK it's mirrored.
I would like to be able to see the (un)explored roads from the job selection screen, without having to go back to the map itself, then back to the job screen.
A fully functional map on the job screen in general would be good to plan your route in advance
I agree with most of the points, however most of them can be solved with mods, sometimes even just a change to textures and changing the vegetation might help, instead of whole map mod (like New Summer mod, changes road textures and vegetation on base maps, looks much better). Or giving up on updates like I did. I was tired of fixing my mods all the time, and ages to download updates. Anyway, what I hate are new AI traffic vehicles with "GTA style" design, instead of real vehicles with no logos like before. That's a step back. Variety on cost of quality. I hate one-lane highway crossroads on base map, that is so dumb and I doubt it ever existed on any highway site in the world. I also hate like you mentioned lack of game world interaction, pedestrian crossings, people on bicycles, more people in streets, at services, etc. At least animation of handing over the job papers on borders or company entrances would improve the game. Interaction with police would be also better! Old SCS games like PTTM even had cruiser in pursuit behind you if you cause major traffic violation! Why that doesn't work today.. And about emergency vehicles - ambulances, police, firetrucks passing by with lights and siren, traffic pulling over - that would cut the boredom of driving on highways in long jobs! Of course with proper country-respective siren, not one for all like now, as Germany of France don't use wail siren like SCS has, but 2-tone, French even 3-tone (usually on private ambulance or gas emergency services). Police driving in front of you, navigating you for example to near gas station to pull you over safely, that would be cool.. But that all sounds like fantasy with SCS :D And last, about Iveco, that was my starter truck, I liked Hi-Way :D Now I am driving Renault Range T Evo since it was added. SCS should really add new Iveco S-Way, that would help with Iveco popularity.
The most stressfull thing for me, is the framedrops because of yes. Im running the game fine and somehow it feels like it's falling from 120 to 20, or even worse, teleporting forward, even in singleplayer...
Btw, i mainly drive Scania, but Iveco Stralis for the win!

Running MSI Afterburner with some basic statistics on screen including "CPU Usage", "GPU Usage", "RAM Usage", VRAM Usage" & "Frametime Graph" is a good way to see what is happening with your fps consistency & whether it is CPU or GPU causing the problems.

You forgot one. AI that let's you through on a road where they have the right of way. Not realistic at all.
For me I rarely go to the UK as I'm not often used to driving in the left side of the road and I agreed that the rework is long overdue now. - Besides I do sometimes go to the UK whenever I deliver there. 🙂
Being Australian even though I have most of the Map extensions I am the opposite & tend to just stck to the Tiny UK Map because of Righthand Drive.
I do go in the UK mostly for the 2 or 3 really nice sceneries it has to offer (Humber Bridge near Hull, Welsh Highlands on A469 between Swansea and Liverpool, small bits of Scotland)
Even though it isn't fresh since it's litteraly from 2010, it's still a nice place to be, the vibe feels nice (and I'm sure that with Promods it feels even more nice)
I do have a sign mod for that country though.
I usually atart in london amd then after a few days go to mainland Europe
Same I don't really drive in the UK much because it's outdated
@@shaneeslick another Aussie here, I don't mind driving in the UK (except they insist on still using Imperial measurements FFS!!!).
I agree it does sorely need an update though, and maybe adding Ireland (both Republic & Northern) to the map would be cool.
Would also like to see Greece, and further north into Scandinavia (I don't use ProMods for the reasons mentioned in this video).
I base myself in Deutschland because it's fairly central to the rest of the map.
The one thing that makes me totally freak out is the AI in general. No awareness of the player, constantly doing things no one would do in RL and so on. You can he as close as you want to a perfect run and boom... they will ruin this experience right away.
Second would be the GPS which too often tells too late to change a lane if you didn't pay attention.
I've noticed problems with GPS too. In ATS it is frequently unclear in some cities, until you make a wrong turn, which exit ramp you need to take.
@@themisterchristie yep. Thing is that the triggers for those actions are waaaay to close in some cases. And if you also got the borders set to be not displayed (xxxxx) you will probably and off the map🙄
that emergency braking activates when. youre turning at 10kph for litterally no reason
and then you have to go into the menu and turn it off because it wont let you continue
(sadly its kind lf realistic that those things activate for no reason)
I drive a lot in the UK thanks to Promods. Being from Wales very impressed with Promods work, if it was bog standard SCS map I wouldn’t bother at all
I know right. I don't have promods and the UK I just si boring. I really want to drive around there but it's just the same thing each time
@@partyingpotatoes7579 yeah man i just downgraded to 1.48.5 to use promods and have installed a bunch of other graphical/sound improvements and uk/ireland is absolutely gorgeous. especially the entrance to northern wales, i've been down that road quite a few times irl and it captures the coastal roads perfectly.
I've been driving in the UK a lot with my current save, as I use promods and I'm from the UK. It's definitely improved the UK a lot but more needs to be done, at least by SCS.
When driving through Poland, I usually don't take the highway. Stop-and-go in the toll gate is tiring 😅
I hate the Calais port. You have to do like 3 180 degree turns where literally every other port is just a straight shot there
One thing is, whenever you are caught speeding or hit someone, the police should stop you and fine you after doing some pursuit. It was there in 18 wheels of steel. I used to get a higher powered truck and outran the cruisers. Had a laugh whenevr that happens. One thing i dont miss is the NPC interaction. I get enough of that IRL thank you very much.
Loved doing that, it was a rush. Used to love just toying with the Police AI and taking off ramps and quickly turning around on the freeways and snaking my way around the various exits and stuff and seeing them have a hard time tryna catch me getting stuck on a guardrail XD!
I hate there aren't any rigid trucks, multi drop work, or any contracts. Such as move stuff for this company and get paid at the end of a week, or having to move so much in a certain time etc. I also think they should rework the gearboxes on trucks. The trucks in game shift way too quickly, and dont jolt or shudder like the real life ones do
It's not just the UK. Benelux, the Going East countries as well as Denmark and Sweden have these PS1 looking roads too
0:36 Don't make it look like as if you loaded or unloaded at Tramerie with your B-triple since this is impossible due to too short triger/bad position of the trigger there
i hate when am in convoi, it rain for me and for my friend just close to me there is a beatiful sunshine on his screen....
2 things i Loath
1. when the AI crashes into you and your the one that gets fined
2. when the speed limit changes quite a lot and there's a speed camera right behind the sign so your guaranteed to get a speeding fine
You forgot NPCs that slow down a lot in a lane loss
My least favourite thing is when cars brake check you in the middle of a highway for no reason. My intrusive thoughts get the best of me, and I end up ramming into them out of anger. Wouldn't do that irl, but this game sometimes do that to me lmao
I do that when there's a cop behind me and the speed limit changes without warning, causing a fine instantly. I'll just back into them and go.
you were 110% right abt these things ,scs should work on these especially interacton ,like one u forgot to add was flling fuel to our truck by getting off it and filling manually and some interactions in the fuel station store too
Ability to customize the character, walk out of truck, talk to ppl, pick a fight with a baseball bat with some bad driver, corrupt cops eager for a bribe, hitchhikers, animals on road, dispatcher talks with some humor, ability to have a woman on a resting place, more music, dangerous cargo hella exploding when you have road accident, dirty roads (smth like MudRunner but not THAT dirty), water physics and pools on roads, cows going MOOO. That's my wish list.
I was very surprised they rly did smth that I wanted before: sounds, better trees, antialiasing (after 12 years!), Moon, correct stars sky (it was random and imaginary for many years) and now they talking about seasons.
The roundabouts, especially those multi-lane ones, are giving me a headache and ended up in fear. I think the roundabout rules we have here in Australia is really good, especially for multi-lane roundabouts. You will never need to change lanes (actually you can't in most scenarios) inside the roundabout and certain lane can only exit the roundabout from certain exit(s) because we treat it more like a normal intersection with different giveway rules. For exampe, assume it's a two-lane 4-exit roundabout with all 4 connected roads also have 2 lanes in each direction, more likely the outer lane (left-most lane since we drive on the left hand side) must exits from the first (turning left) or second (going straight) exit (on the left lane of these exits). The inner lane (right lane) must exits from the second (going straight) or thrid exit (turning right) or any exits after going pass the thrid exit (on the right lane of these exits). There will always be painted arrows on the ground, sometimes also with a huge road sigh on the side, before entering the roundabout telling drivers which exits they can use. Traffic lines in the roundabout will also help drivers to find their usable exits.
About tolls in France, this is actually realistic according to the scale of the map compared to IRL. We have tolls litteraly everywhere on our highways it's ridiculous
true, but keep in mind that the map in ETS2 is at a scale of 1:10. So when in reality there are toll boths, say, every 50km, in ETS2 it feels likey they come ever 5 km. You barely accelerate your truck to full speed and, lo and behold, there's the next toll both. Real life France isn't _that_ bad.
It would be cool to see youre workers driving on the road when you meet them i never saw them
as someone who's been playing both ets 2 and ats, the tolls in europe are the worst. you finally reach 80 km/h and there's another in the distance.
and why is the right side of the toll gates always closed in every country? Like real drivers irl using that lane and staying on the left side as a trucker feels not normal 😂 Nice video btw
Even if it's not fresh, I still do enjoy some of the British landscapes, especially the Humber bridge near Hull which I really enjoy, the scenery is really nice. And also the A469 across Welsh Highlands, between Swansea and Liverpool. Sadly I don't remember Scotland that much but that's definitely somewhere I enjoy going to.
But yes, it needs some refreshing, and I completely agree with you, once the rework will be out, every other part in the map would feel old.
3:02 Trust me, we have tolls everywhere, okay they're not that close from each other, but still. Tolls everywhere, to suck every ounce of money in your soul. (That's how it feels in real life)
For me, the main bottlenecks of this game are lack of realism on some points e.g : trains, level crossings, and the f**king traffic not slowing down when you overtake.
About trains : have you ever seen the TGV while cruising to Nice or whatever else city in France ? Did you notice that it's incredibly short ? I also noticed the lack of train variety on the old parts of the map, where you see BR185s hauling a freight most of the time. It has gotten better with the newly mapped parts with more variety.
Level crossings... Why does every level crossing needed to be coded as a Czech level crossing, and have that annoying Czechoslovak bell jamming ? No, stop this. Okay, this might not seem very important but I think it's still steps to improve realism and immersion in the game.
And now the traffic. Okay in some ways it is realistic, but sometimes it's completely broken, like, please, tell that lorry that I want to overtake him... Unless it's an ADR lorry, I will never overtake him, they never slow down as per the rules when you overtake...
You mean A483 as funny enough I live where the A469 runs through my town of Bargoed between Rhymney and Cardiff. If it was to be put into the game they would have to add loads of roadworks as Caerphilly Borough love roadworks and closures lol.
Well, at least the opposite side traffic halts when you're coming towards them at full speed, giving you a bit more chance to finish the overtake
I love driving in the UK, I mainly drive UK to UK and stay there, fair enough Esbjerg, close places in Spain, Roscoff (France), Brest (France) and up to Paris and Le Havre, and of course Calais, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Apart from those international places in deliveries, I like to stay in UK. But sometimes I do go out of the UK to explore the rest of the map.
For a long time, closing takes several minutes. Maybe by syncing with the Steam cloud, maybe by a large number of mods.
Errors in voice navigation in the UK. Navigation tells me to go straight when I have to turn or recommends a turn when I have to go straight in relation to what I see in front of me. The UK needs some tweaking though.
The developers of Alskan Trucker are right. I feel in ETS2 and ATS like a truck, not a truck driver. I feel more as a truck driver in "On the Road" when I have get out to make some actions.
There is also no tachometer and real working time, i.e. 4.5 hours of driving, a break of 4.5 and sleep and again 4.5 hours ... like in others General cargo would also be welcome. I arrive, I take several loads and I have several unloadings in several cities where I can add more loads.
for a game that is almost 12 years old it's an insane game! (from October 2012) Love that it never changed the whole graphics, UIs or gameplay.
They need to add a feature if you own a trailer that you can pick up more cargos (jobs) and delivery it to same company or more companies.
For example, your trailer has 10 pallets storage, you take 3 from one company and 7 from other company and you need to delivery it to 2 companies or they can do like weight wise, trailer can carry 20t cargo, you can pick up 3-4 jobs at once. For me, it would make ETS more realistic. On the road got that feature in the game and it is so awesome and intresting to play, but other things make game boring. Also pedestrians, make them more realistic like using crosswalks, running around etc.
Mirrors....
Years I playes ETS2/ATS, and I still can't see if my trailer is parrallel to something else ( other trailer, line, wall...)
AI traffic in general.
And some lacks. Interactivity like you said, but option to have papers too, and full other stuff that a real trucker do.
- When you take a mission, must walk to a bureau to take papers (and why not complete a form). And there, the person will say the dock where you must go. And the same for the end of mission.
- Eat, drink, take a shower. Even if there is no animation, but there is some expense to that)
- And, moreover, a REAL shop. Like in some games as Star citizen. Walking in the alleys, trying some articles buy it.
All of that in option of course. I know tome e-truckers just want to drive.
I'd love also having multiple courses. A company could need to deliver some needs to different cities. And more, hving the possibility to take several missions in the same time in the limit of the trailer. But then, every goods would have am additionnal caracteristic : dimensions.
Easier way would be just the volume. If there is still room in the trailer, you can take a mission which need less volume than the empty space still available.
Harder would be 3 dimension occupied in the trailer, with a kind of Tetris game to fit a maximum of goods XD.
And... naps. Sleeping gameplay is too rigid. It's 6.30am, in front of the truck seller. The shop opens @0800. one and a half hour to wait (approx 4min30 irl). An eternity. If you sleep, it's 9h spent so, 7.30 for nothing.
In fact time-limit in world of truck is no good. I would prefer a legal time limit gauge on one hand, and tiredness gauge on the other (so, 3 gauges, tiredness, hungry and thirst).
I am in ATS for now, and driving time limits are not so simple as in the game.
11h driving a day in 14h of spread (if you begin at 7:00, you must stop your driving day at 21:00, and you cannot drive more than 11h (day meaning a period of 24h)
A trucker can't drive more than 52h in 7 days or 60h in 8 days.
With the possibility to choose the duration of rest, the game could take those limits in account. And it can propose a car rent to explore the area XD.
driving in the uk imo is my favorite part because of how many non rhd games there are, unless you want to play something like the forza horizon games (3-4) there's not many rhd based games with dedicated rhd vehicles. it just really needs a rework because atm its just stuck feeling outdated like a 2009 game
And watch dogs legion since it's base in London

It would be nice to add more variety to deliveries.
Like making it so that you deliver cars or furniture to a fancy mansion or something.
I absolutely love delivering to shopping malls and other big yards that you have to navigate.
but malls usually have loading bay and that's it. U can't go inside anymore
After trying out all the trucks I have to say the Iveco Hi Way is my favorite. And I'm not using any sound mods, because the sounds do not sound so "sharp" like other truck's engines, it's comfortable for the ears, plus they are very stable at higher speeds in more narrow turns.
Worst thing about tolls tho (well, at least for me) is that it's hard to memorize or see the transponder payment lanes, which do not require you to completely stop and wait a few seconds before starting to move. Sometimes i even crashed into the closed lane barriers because of the low visibility. It sucks
I hope the new game engine will allow for fixes of some of the issues with the game(A.I. cars, pedestrians, the anti aliasing maybe proper vegitation rather than the abomination we have been having since 2012, and the thing i want to most being able to walk out of my truck open doors, sign documents like a mix between on the road and my summer car)
one thing i would love in this game is if scs took some idea from DTG (train sims) where in the newer train sim games its super interactive for the player. i.e Getting out drivers seat and walking around (this would most likely have to be limited to a certain radius like 1kmaway from the truck) ,Openeng doors/cab windiws (windows we have), Fueling up manually (get out,animation for fuel cap, fill up) more in cab buttons are pressable (this would be fore mainly M&K players for ets/ats but still works whith a wheel as its just mouse movement to press said in cab buttons) also they need to update the stanav to the ats one which is nicer and cleaner
I, too, hate driving in the UK on ETS2. Promods have made the experience slightly more enjoyable, but it drastically needs a re-haul.
Apparently, it's not something of a priority for SCS. We are a long way down on the 'To Do' list behind Germany and many of the smaller countries in Europe.
A.I in ATS.Especiallu when they join the highway from a side road or an adjacent road, they don't have any sense whatsoever about a truck coming at 65 mphs on the first lane. They will just join the highway , accelerating from maybe 30-35. If the second lane is busy, well , the only option is to slow down or swerve to avoid them
Gotta love merging traffic... the time they take. And the lack of no stopping zones outside a driveway
When you wait in line in order to turn left and the AI in front of the line waits and waits and waits and waits and ..... The video is a 10/10 !
Thank you buddy
We can also add the ai's sudden braking. It should see the speed limit sign and slowly reduce its speed but it suddenly slows down right next to the sign, or after passing the sign. Dude, theres a truck with a huge tonnage behind you.
Most things I agree with however driving in France the main motorway in France (the A10) has quite a few tolls but I prefer driving on the back roads which is no where near as bad but you can't go faster than about 80kms
Because of the scale you only get 2 tolls, but yes, I would imagine a bit more tolls on the A10.
@@elisouille_buscarscamions I know you do as I have travelled it both in game and irl
I had the roundabout AI problem and I still do sometimes, but much less. The reason they are entering the roundabout with you in it is because you're doing it wrong (and so was I).
I just finished my C category license and with trucks you're not supposed to do the roundabout on the inside, you need to go always on the outside.
Some old school truckers still do it from the inside, but that's not what is being taught nowadays.
If you're gonna exit second or third exit, signal to the inside of the roundabout but actually do it from the outside.
You're gonna see a HUGE improvement in the AI behavior.
The only thing that you need to stay aware is that they might try to get on the inside of the roundabout if you are coming on a two lane road to the roundabout.
But people in real life will do that too, so it's actually realistic.
4:30 Guess i'm a psychopath, cus i love driving Ivecos
What about video "Things players love most of all in ETS"?:)
My home garage for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is in London, UK, and I agree, I think it needs a rework, it's one of the oldest countries in the game now and I think it is time for a change. Also, SCS needs to add the rest of the UK which is Northern Ireland, because even though the country is listed as 'United Kingdom' its not actually the entire chain of the United Kingdom, it's just Great Britain, so they need to add Northern Ireland as part of the base game, and as the UK, to complete that chain of countries in the UK. Also, as well as adding Northern Ireland, they need to also add the Republic of Ireland too, to add to the base game, and that it borders Northern Ireland, and that we still don't have part of the map being black.
I wish we could unload the trailers. Maybe start with the low loader and being able to drive of the delivered equipment, then move to empty your own trailer, like if you delivered drinks or pallets. Would be awesome.
I also wished it was a bit more companymanagment then just buy and assigning new drivers. Make contracts with larger companies, getting your own warehouse, colab trailers, and so on
3:34 - because you must not exit from the middle of the roundabout, unless the lanes allow you to do so. In this example it was you that violated the law 😜 But yeah, on the older roundabouts, especially in the UK, drivers drive like this by design and cause collisions...
I used to vent at the updating times but ever since i started flight sim 2020, i actually appreciate the SCS servers.
What I like a about this game is that the dlcs aren’t too expensive and affordable because in some other games they r like super expensive to buy stuff with real money sooo
For me, what's missing the most are characters and animations. We need cinematics when we're being controlled, when we're taking the ferry or loading equipment. There should also be pedestrians in the cities, as the fact that cities are made up entirely of cars makes the game experience less immersive
1. Slow vehicles. - mod- "AI Truck Speed"
3. Lack of challenge - change max_vehicle_count: in traffic_data.sii to a bigger number (up to 100%) More vehicles will appear everywhere, both parked and driving. Also try a mod that changes the physics like "Drifting Physics".
x. Snoozing - Tick the box "fatigue" in game options off. Snoozing will disappear.
xx.Last. CRASHES - You have a trailer or a truck (more often trailer or cargo for it) that cannot be loaded in the game world. Find which and switch it off. Also a crash usually leads to the desktop (throws you out of game but not of Windows). A crash with a blue creen means heavy system error or overloading - hence your comp is old or has suffered heavy system damages which led to being in bad shape; is on the end of its powers ...
ETS 2 and ATS are very good games but yes, I think like you that we need more interaction outside the truck, the possibility of getting out of the truck, hand papers, check truck oil an other mechanical thing a trucker need to control and as optional for the ones that want it for immersion, survival options like getting on the gas stop shop and buy a coffee, food, use of bathroom, etc...
While I haven't played a lot of ETS2, more ATS, I agree with everything here, especially the poor AI and lack of interaction. All these points would help improve ATS also.
On the case of AI, I've been fined in ATS for a crash, when the AI car would ignore the giant rolling wall and run into the side of my truck. One time was on a ramp between interstates, I'm in the left lane, running about 5mph over speed limit and a Ford Explorer decides it would be good to pass on the right and try to merge into my truck. He had plenty of knowledge of the upcoming merge before he got along side of me.
sorry but it’s very realistic for the France toll’s here we have a lot of tolls everywhere on the highway and sometime in the middle of the highway for like nothing
Here in Sweden we saying that if traveling through French take the train because the tolls will take all your money
@@thegotlandisfarmer8774 yeah for a north west to south on the higway it should probably cost you 130€ (same price or a little bit expensive for the train)
Why would you need traffic mode, when in documents > ets2 > config > traffic or something like that and you can get how much traffic you want, starts with 1 but max is 10 and you can get more pedestrians and stuff there :D then save and it's done
I know there's an option to disable them, but road closures/diversions are a huge pain. To be 2 hours from your destination, with 4 hours to your sleep break and 5 hours to complete the delivery, feeling like everything's under control, and suddenly your junction is closed and there's a 7-hour diversion - or worse, there are points where there's really no valid option other than to drive round the cones and try to avoid the fire engines and the air ambulance, especially at the edges of the base map if you don't have the connecting DLC. It just destroys the immersion. Anywhere where there can be a road closure should have an alternative route - slower, of course, but usable.
I'm actually fine with most of your points, except the British map which is woefully inadequate. I'll be so happy when it has scenic villages and other points of interest like France or the new Swiss update.
Oh, and Trameri. I try not to take any job delivering to them!
The thing I absolutely utterly hate in this game is a poor variety of cargo types. THIS IS LITERALLY A GAME ABOUT CARGO DELIVERY! There should be tens of thousands of different things to carry. Especially when it comes to the most profitable cargos. ESPECIALLY because all they'd have to do to add a type is a freakin picture, name and price. One guy could add thousands of this in one day.
i wish there was more map interaction an better planning options in this game and ats as well
especcially the delviery time you have limits but its never a problem if you are 13h or a day before the time you should be to make the delivery, id like it if there was an option to turn on that you cant deliver to a companie if youre to early or at certain times for example in the middle of the night
id also like a feature where you can do multiple dropoffs with one load or even loading your trailer by yourself like a minigame playing tetris with your load
or maybe have certain goods that cannot be moved through some country because of regulations
or if you had simple police interactions like if they pull you over for different reasons
that would upgrade the games so much
There is option to turn off sleeping. Disable the fatigue simulation
It would be cool to be meet your own trucks in the traffic. And maybe be able to dispatch them. Instead of they are just going home empty or loaded. And maybe charge for your work instead of you always will hit a big profit for a long job. Would be cool to make contracts for your own work. And I fully agree with you on we need some kind of document to hand over and be able to fail a inspection. (Maybe because of your own contract) Be able to get out and couple and uncouple trailers and maybe secure the load (maybe simplify it like in fs20). Just some ideas. 😅🤷♂️
What i hate is when you buy a truck in the online menu and spend all your time to pimp the truck and when you buy it the game says that your garage is full AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
😂
What I find annoying about the Online Dealership is now thanks to an update this earlier year you have had to have bought 5 Trucks to get access,
So while you can go to Truck Browser to try all the options available you can't go to see how many $$$$$$ you need to save for your Dream Truck 😞
@@shaneeslick the 5 truck limit to have access to the online dealer was there before that update which broke that earlier this year.
@@elisouille_buscarscamions I hadn't played ETS2 for a few years & didn't remember the 5 truck limit so just to clarify a timeline 🤔are you saying...
the 5 limit was there,
then an Update Broke it,
now it was reimplemented with the update fixing it again earlier this year
@@shaneeslick Well no, I think that the old limit they have was broken because you would buy 5 truck, sell 4 of them, and you would have access to the online dealer anyway. And now this isn't possible anymore, you need to have 5 permanent trucks in your garage to access the online dealer.
Don't quote me on this but I guess that's how it is.
@@elisouille_buscarscamions OK, when I got back into playing end last year before the update I could do it without even buying a truck at all
1:34 The UK map is so old now, it desperately needs some love just to catch up with the rest of the map in terms of realism and complexity. Hopefully it will get that love soon.
driving in the UK: but the game literally is EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR 2
😅😅👍
Hello 👋
Some areas of France are unluckily full of tolls-area also in real life.
For example Monaco to LeCastellet/CircuitPaulRicard is a pain in the neck: every 5/6km on that highway is a continous stop for paying leg by leg the same highway.
Even in Italy, from where I write, we are not so smashed 😅
But SCS maybe decided to be realistic as in real life.
Cheers from Monza 👍

I actually set up my ETS2 base in London and drive around UK 😂😂
And it's FUN
I feel safer driving in UK since I live in HK, same driving direction.
Yeah me too as I am Australian
As a French, I really agree with you, it feels really nice to drive up there and, even though it's not fresh, it still does offer some nice sceneries.
I like driving UK. On of the best places on the map.) Yes, right wheel on left traffic - is hard, but casual left wheel on left traffic - is easy.)
1:37 you're surprised, you were driving practically in the middle of the roundabout and when you were going down you didn't even turn on the turn signal
Yes, I don't like the tolls in ETS2 either. Every few miles there's another toll. Maybe it's really like that in Europe, but in the US, the toll booths are only on the entrance and exit ramps when you enter and exit the expressway. Never on the expressway, itself (there are a few exceptions to this, but not many) .
1:47 At least, they use real turn signals sounds.
2:57 welcome in France 😂
2:50 I live in france and there isn't any toll in my part of france wich is called alsace but everywhere else you have tolls
The pedestrian interaction could even be like, the driver asking information about where to unload or else
We hate so much falling down from a convoy server all the time!!! In 1.48 a bug was introduced that kicks people from a server with more than 4 truckers.
i absolutely hate it when i'm doing an oversized cargo delivery, and my front pilot just stops on the highway or on a roundabout for a minute or so for no reason
i believe UK map was just straight up ported from UK truck simulator, ets2 predecessor, or atleast most of it, so yeah its decade old map that longs for rework.
I drive in UK, because irl we use Right Hand Steer (i kinda dont want to mess up my driving intuition if i switch steering)
Honestly my biggest regret is that the world feels dead even tho it obviously took a lot of work. One great way would be adding supermarkets with local produce and the ability to fill your truck's cabin with food and stuff. Would make it more immersive too.
I have traffic violations off for one particular reason : roundabouts.
I lost track on the number of times the ai decides to jam itself into my trailer resulting me getting fined for causing an accident.
The france tolls is acurate to real life tho, I remember first time driving there and I got so fed up by it
I would definitely like to see ETS 3 and ATS2 with amazing graphics, world interaction, going for a walk outside the truck. A complete remake of the game. Its starting to really feel old
Also, a lot of things like Jake brake are completely pointless because there is no wear on the brakes.
It's a bit strange how they haven't added the Drivers Digital Tacho Card for Driving time and have to stick to them or you get penalty from the authorities
It happens in the UK not sure about Europe
And not being able to drive trucks on Sundays in France
i completely disagree with with your statement 3:36. things like that do happen in real life but not in every roundabout, cars merging and crashing into you on the highway, trucks change lanes when youre overtaking them this includes cars.
another thing you forgot to mention is when a truck (85kmh) is overtaking another truck (90kmh) and this goes on for ages, this of course happens with other vehicles like buses and cars.
you mention pulling heavy cargo and going through the toll gates in france and i agree with that but im sure the toll gates in poland are by far worse and more annoying when you have to completely stop, now try that with 61t behind you :D
