That white VW Golf was just priceless. You rear-end him so he has a bit of a sulk, then moves forward and brake tests you at the traffic lights just like he didn't know what was going to happen. Then, after he's had another wee sulk, merrily sails through a red light. Well, they modelled the French drivers well...
The weight you're currently driving (about 65-70 ton) is pretty accurate to real world trucks in Scandinavia (our legal limit is 60 tons, with exceptions for special transports). The acceleration, handling and braking is very realistic, and the AI is oh-so-real. Every single day people pull up in front of you and brake, expecting you to just tap lightly on the brake pedal to slow down to their speed. This game is great for people who's never driven a truck before. It really makes you think about how you act in real life traffic.
24:06 “Alls it takes is for one AI car to hit the brakes.” Literally 5 seconds later the Golf in front slams the brakes and gets rear ended. Then 30 seconds later it happens again with the same guy lmao. You really have the best timing.
The digital speedometer isn't actually a speedometer, it's the cruisecontrol. So if you drive at for example 50 mph, and you lock it on 50 mph with the cruisecontrole, it will show the number 50 on the digital display instead of the 0 it's now showing. I know this comment will be hella late, but just putting this out there for the ones who will watch this video at this point in time or later.
In America, the load you're carrying, you would have needed a full escort and police would have closed off two lanes for you to use just like you were doing at 10:40 and onward.
"That's a lovely little set of houses..." *crashes into wall* I'm awake at 1:09 in the morning watching this set of videos and I'm trying not to laugh. Definitely not working out well for me. :D
Great vid - faultless commentating and supreme driving skills. I have watched a lot of ur vids and subscribed becuase i wanted to learn about the game. I have ordered it and should get it soon. Thanks for all ur great vids
I gotta say, this is the most fun 5 am stoned insomnia time I’ve had ever. I just wanted to see what the game was about because it actually sounded kinda silly to me, kinda like a bass fishing video game... but I’m so happy to have stumbled upon yours first because that was a fun ass trip I just took... you definitely gained a follower. Cheers.
Those "Cabin Over Engine" trucks are made by Lord Voldermort himself. They have no nose! Now... I think my Peterbilt 379 will be appropriate for this kind of cargo (big trailer - big rig logic), altough I already see myself stucked in middle of nowhere. x)
this video made me laugh so hard!! at the point with the road working you started swearing it was so funny, and look at that beautiful house... Crash hahaha
at 24:50 what happened was he stopped for the red light at the threshold (where the car is programmed to stop) but when u hit him u pushed him over that threshold, he was then stopped because of the standard "stop when colliding" programming, once that expired he was no longer behind the stop threshold for the light so he drove off
+צאַר האָלי At the start when he picks it up a truck goes by with one haha, just before he leaves the yeard where he collected it, you can see it go by on the road :)
29:00 Right... I have watched most of your euro truck videos. Haven't laughed this hard about something in a long time; i.e, the car in the tree. I can't get that image out of my head. Look forward to many more videos
The main reason why I never drive my own truck in this game is that I keep accidentally beating it up every second drive so badly that it costs more to repair it than the delivery paid me, so it's more cost effective to do hired jobs, and let my employees do the driving with my own trucks. The most common reason to getting damage is too much speed on narrow roads, losing traction and crashing into side railing, sometimes turning over. The second common reason is stupid AI...
OMG this whole vid has been hilarious....the whole spaz attack after the train crossing in the last vid was brilliant.....can't get enough of this video series!!!! love you Squirrel!!! :D
I just feel sorry about the employers in the game who will have to pay my 40000€ repairs for the truck _and_ the 14000€ pay for my delivery out from the 30000€ they get from the client.
Love the video! I also love how you include all the different mods because I have an older version and I cannot update it because I have a generic product key. I just enjoy seeing all of the newer mods and they're all really funny, and interesting. Take care, and thanks for the upload. I'll look forward to the next upload :)
Never played this game, will never play this game, but for some reason I could watch these videos all day. Keep up the good work Squirrel! You are quickly becoming my favorite Let's Player!
The thing with the engine sound is something a lot of big diesels will do. They don't cut off immediately like a car engine, they sputter down for a few seconds.
loved the video. have been watching you for quite some time now, and never seen you have this much trouble. i would have probable given up already. love seeing you still trying, hope you make it through part 3.
Wynand Rautenbach I hope so but I don't think they will tbh. They still working hard on making multiplayer for ets2 and also making expansions. And not sure if ets3 would be any better as ets2 is just superb, nothing wrong with it and graphics are awesome
It serendipitously happened so that I came to watch part 1, and I am really enjoying this extraordinary adventure so far. Thanks for sharing, it's really very entertaining!
***** It's a head tracking bit of kit, much better than just smoothing the looking around, however for about double the price you could buy an Oculus Rift which is a full on VR headset that tracks your head movements one-to-one and looks like you're actually inside the cabin of a truck :)
Give me any stock truck and it will have 2% damage in five seconds. Give me a modded kenworth and it will be parked in my Aberdeen garage in Automation Transport livery in five seconds.
Love that your stressed from doing it in a game. Imagine some of the journeys truckers have in real life where other road users and cargo don't do what you want.
Just gut busting funny. His cab is shaking itself to pieces and he just calmly says "Well, can I drive forward?... Well, we can't take the train." It's funnier because of just how calm he stays for all of it. Classic stuff.
24:00 LOL.. crying now.. I think the reason that poor Pierre drove through a red light at the roadworks was the mad lorry driver behind that kept rear-ending him.
Part 3. Please. Best part. First round about. First the red car under trailer then the rig flying over the grass. Videos are awesome. Jus waiting for part 3
In America we don't have cabovers anymore. The reason is driver comfort. The sleepers are really comfortable and have a great amount of space compared to the cabovers of the old days and the European models. Some even have two beds for team drivers. Also, there is a driver shortage, so having more space and making it seem more like a "home" feeling can attract more drivers to the industry.
I drove all of North America Sir for thirty eight years hauling everything from Heavy Equipment to Extremely long loads. I have been from the tip of the Northern Ice flows to Mexico city with every type of equipment there is. I hauled flatbed fore thirty two years, and the rest was in Bottles tanks and boxes. So I know what I'm talking about Sir. Maybe allot more than what you would ever hope to know.
That was the best and funniest video that i saw in my life you done a great job Squirrel keep up the great work and also my funniest part in this video was that when you crashed into the wall distracted by the houses and when your truck started glitching all over the place XD .
1000th comment! Honestly I think the part I found funniest was when you sneezed and the TrackIR followed your head, followed by admiring the buildings before crashing into another guardrail or the bit at the end where you said I'll just pull forward a bit and slammed into the fence.
You were suprised at 31:36 seeing another truck with the same tree. Im suprised you didnt notice that truck in the Part 1 when you picked up the tree and were checking out how it looks, when you went back to the cabin view a truck just drove past with the same tree haha.

***** Not for a long time thank God...
5:35 - I think it's safe to say that the truck is knackered.
Damon McKnight dumbass
Damon McKnight sounds like a good beat for rapping music

new laws have allowed 76 tonnes for like a year now

6:00 it actually makes a nice song xD

HAHAAHAHAH
Rageous lol true
good beats

I like how the head of the driver that you controlled responded to your real sneeze at 19:06 LOL
He is using track ir follows head movement
28:45 "That's a lovely little set of ..." hahaha
Hahahah excellent!
This series has been the best ETS2 vids I've seen in a long, long time, fantastic!!
Agreed never seen this game but this got me addicted to watching it.
In America, the load you're carrying, you would have needed a full escort and police would have closed off two lanes for you to use just like you were doing at 10:40 and onward.
Everywhere actually ... Remember this is a game
And now we have Special Transport DLC
25:00 so hylarius i'm litterly crying right now
24:57 I bet the VW driver trying to scam insurance XD
Pikachu53 Downfall Parodies Something like that happened to me, check my channel
***** its not to get extra visits
What an utter wanker, as Squirrel said.
and hi go thru red light OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
call Ai copers ..heheh
"You admire the view, and you wreck your Volvo" sounds like something Jeremy Clarkson would say
haha. So true
Haha funny! Also I love the old presenters: Clarkson, Hammond and May's presentation of Top Gear.
4 years later - a lot of things have changed in this game. Unfortunately, the AI has not.
3 years later - same
Artificial intelligence is more like artificial idiots
7 years later - ehhh....

Omg 4 years later and I read this comment at 1:09 in the morning :O
the scene where you was on the train had me dying in tears!!! you killed me when you was like "uuummmm help??" I was rolling

Some of my favorite days from Squirrel. I was back in school and watched these instead of doing my homework... Miss these style videos

i love this video mate was practicly in stiches with laughter at some of the stuff especialy with the golf
Who else wants more ETS2 videos like this?
same
Me
Bob McCoy me
You have probably figured it out by now, but the one on the dash (digital one) is for your cruise control
at 24:50 what happened was he stopped for the red light at the threshold (where the car is programmed to stop) but when u hit him u pushed him over that threshold, he was then stopped because of the standard "stop when colliding" programming, once that expired he was no longer behind the stop threshold for the light so he drove off
30:25 how surprised wouldn't you be if you were driving from UK to France with a Baobab tree and you met another fucking Baobab tree?

28:51 That part scared the shit out of me😂
I enjoy watching your videos there great with good commentary and I watch them often
this journey just gets better and better. Why cant there be a simulation like this but for cars. it looks so much fun to do some epic drives.
Next. ChallEnge get through a mcdonalds drive through
Lol xd
29:00 Right... I have watched most of your euro truck videos. Haven't laughed this hard about something in a long time; i.e, the car in the tree. I can't get that image out of my head. Look forward to many more videos
"Thats a lovely set of shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!"
I laughed so much in this video! lolololololololol
I'm American and I like both and we do have old bullnose big rigs
Euro tunnel does not accept responsibility for damage to trucks and their loads.
It's journeys like this that're a good reason to keep your ATS series going.
The main reason why I never drive my own truck in this game is that I keep accidentally beating it up every second drive so badly that it costs more to repair it than the delivery paid me, so it's more cost effective to do hired jobs, and let my employees do the driving with my own trucks.

You'd so real well on Top Gear... They love to destroy vehicles as well lol :-)
The part when you were admiring the view and then drove into the side was just brilliant.
I just feel sorry about the employers in the game who will have to pay my 40000€ repairs for the truck _and_ the 14000€ pay for my delivery out from the 30000€ they get from the client.
I love how every time you're looking over at the scenery you start to crash or wobble on the road
6:00 roadside assistance?
Love the video! I also love how you include all the different mods because I have an older version and I cannot update it because I have a generic product key. I just enjoy seeing all of the newer mods and they're all really funny, and interesting. Take care, and thanks for the upload. I'll look forward to the next upload :)
hahahaa this one the most funniest drive ever! i can't stop laughing LOL
Never played this game, will never play this game, but for some reason I could watch these videos all day. Keep up the good work Squirrel! You are quickly becoming my favorite Let's Player!
Did you just notice that their was another lorry with the same tree trunk
There was one in the Part 1 of this trip, just when he picked up the trailer.
The thing with the engine sound is something a lot of big diesels will do. They don't cut off immediately like a car engine, they sputter down for a few seconds.
Nice instrumental song...
(5:35)
You know, it's hard to believe it was all done by one man and his truck.
"Oh what a lovely set of house..*bang* ssssSSHH..." I loved that part...made me laugh quite a bit...
The dashboard speedometer is cruisecontrol speed
5:13 BANG "Well that's the front of the Volvo knackered" 😂
5:34 CHOAS 😂
Hell ya us Americans love our Peterbuilts
Yes.
+Jamie Morris 😑😑😑
+Jamie Morris 😑😑😑
+jestin shriver Being a trucker in America is like a small dream for me. I love the US.
Its peterbilt
loved the video. have been watching you for quite some time now, and never seen you have this much trouble. i would have probable given up already. love seeing you still trying, hope you make it through part 3.
Do you think there will ever be a Euro Truck Simulator 3 ?
I hope they make a Euro Truck 3
Wynand Rautenbach I hope so but I don't think they will tbh. They still working hard on making multiplayer for ets2 and also making expansions. And not sure if ets3 would be any better as ets2 is just superb, nothing wrong with it and graphics are awesome
Well then PUNISHERMARKO i think would keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best and not the worst ;)
Wynand Rautenbach well SCS are making american truck simulator so euro truck sim 3 might come out next year
American Truck Simulator would be awesome.
It serendipitously happened so that I came to watch part 1, and I am really enjoying this extraordinary adventure so far. Thanks for sharing, it's really very entertaining!
5:50 ALL MOST DIED LAUGHING
omg i haven't laughed that much in along time thanks mr nutty. now on to part 3
How do you move the camera that smooth?
Every time I do it it makes me disoriented and always crash somewhere till I get back on center...
TrackIR
Kenny Hoffman Holly fucking shit 150 $ only to move the camera smoother :D
Aren't there any mods that make it better?
***** It's a headset god dammit
***** It's a head tracking bit of kit, much better than just smoothing the looking around, however for about double the price you could buy an Oculus Rift which is a full on VR headset that tracks your head movements one-to-one and looks like you're actually inside the cabin of a truck :)
A very quiet sounding truck. Some people do like to hear a truck working. Nice graphics.
24:50 Instant Replay!! :)
One of the best laugh's I've had watching youtube .. brilliant.
Subscribed.
give me a scania; I drive very good and I don't crash at all
give me a volvo and after 15 minutes it has 53% damage xD
Give me any stock truck and it will have 2% damage in five seconds. Give me a modded kenworth and it will be parked in my Aberdeen garage in Automation Transport livery in five seconds.
Without damage.
Ugliest trucks in existence. Drove a Freightliner mod in American Truck Simulator, uninstalled it an hour later. Looking at it was making me ill, lol.
Love that your stressed from doing it in a game. Imagine some of the journeys truckers have in real life where other road users and cargo don't do what you want.
Almost no trees or trucks was harmed, during making this video :)
+Иво Андреев No trees perhaps, but one Volvo at least was severely harmed...
Just gut busting funny. His cab is shaking itself to pieces and he just calmly says "Well, can I drive forward?... Well, we can't take the train." It's funnier because of just how calm he stays for all of it. Classic stuff.
Anyone here in 2016?
I am m8
+Iain Williamson me
I am!
I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly 3 years since this video was uploaded. :D
Squirrel has really cleaned up his language since this.
that happened to me on the train

I think one of your funniest euro truck videos yet
anyone in 2015

do you with stampy and sqid
me!!
I am a squirrel
+Minecraft Machine ayy lmao
I’m American and actually prefer the cab over design. Wish we had more of them over here!
to france we go
24:00
LOL.. crying now.. I think the reason that poor Pierre drove through a red light at the roadworks was the mad lorry driver behind that kept rear-ending him.
Hey message me I can't figure out how to add you to contacts and pm you with this stupid new layout LOL

And the tree went "Oh, you're beaking! You wanna brake now do you! No, we're going forward!" You're vidoes are so funny!
I watched this a few months ago but couldn't resist coming back
I like the quirky things that happen in this sim. It makes it seem more realistic.
AHAHAH That guy at 1:08 was definitely trolling you! :))
22:17 American trucks in Europe? awesome
30:30 - Truck breezes past with the same tree ... AI killin it.
Hope so Michael, love this game and Paul's videos!
Glad I saw this ,, don't think I will be bothering ever trying to deliver this in the game ,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
the part where you spawned on the train and it glitched the damage rate increasing tremendously left me laughing
These 2 videos were the best truck videos ive ever seen haha
Insident at 24:40 made me spill my coffe XD
This is the best trucking video I've seen, bloody hillarious! Can't wait for the rest. Go Squirrel! :D

WTF on minute 6:00... hahah loved the "emmmm help?" hahahahahaahahaha
Loved how he just sat there in silence in the cab view watching the whole truck just spazzing out lol
5:34 - 6:18 - Mechanical truck - step music, with DaSquirrelsNuts adding fitting song text into it!
