Euro truck simulator 2 (IBM Compatibiles)

[Lorfarius]

Start of a long night but this is my first big company delivery. Thanks to a handy mod for changing the trailer to the proper logo!

Don't know how it happened but finally hit level 21 and Master rating! 🤣 Over 60 hours in and I just can't stop, so many places to see and go. Maybe I'll stop at around my 100th hour.

Last night was different with an accidental fireworks show! I had to drive past the cones to get this shot 🤣

Set this up yesterday with a wheel (G29) and VR.  What a faff.  Trying to assign the most used button to the wheel so I don’t have to keep taking headset off to use the keyboard.  What’s the most used functions I need to assign?  I assume I don’t need every single function.  Also I cannot work out how to reverse as is keeps stalling.  Is everything got a h shifter so I’ve got h shifter mode and range shifting setup.

Tried this in VR a while back, but the aliasing was ghastly and there doesn't seem to be a way of dialing it out.  It was too distracting to the point of unplayable for me, unfortunately.

 

I never got to grips with the important button mappings, but I did have to settle for auto gears.  But I think that's more to do with me not understanding how gearing on trucks works.

Indicators, Headlights, high beam, cruise control set / cancel, sat nav screen cycle, sat nav zoom - these are the one you'll want to use when the truck is in motion.

seemed ok for me. I tried it a while back and it’s seems more clearer than what I remembered, maybe updates have improved things since.  Maybe give it another try especially if you have better specs now.

It was only a few weeks ago.  It seems to be an issue with the game engine, as it doesn't have anti-aliasing in VR.

 

Then again, I'm super sensitive to jaggies and shimmering.  To the point where I disagree with my sim racing mates about Automobilista 2 looking great in VR as that has a similar problem.  I wish it wasn't something that bothered me so much.

It's a very shimmery and aliased game, I think it's using a very old direct version. You have to use an internal resolution of at least about 3 times the output resolution tlto get rid of it really.

 

Thankfully it's an old game so you don't need that powerful a system to do that for a regular screen, but that's probably a big ask with VR requirements.

[davejm]

Yeah, it looks decent in pancake mode when using super sampling like that.  But the frame rate tanks in VR when you do that.

 

Then again, I've upgraded from a 3080 to a 4090 since then so it might be worth another try.

I bought this and can’t believe how relaxing and compelling it is. I think I’ve found my new way to listen to new music.

Truck FM is amazing

Had a nice session on this today.  Only did a couple of runs.  Just listening to LBC while driving was quite relaxing except when I get a speed fine or get myself in a tizzy being in the wrong gear on a corner or hill, however I had gotten more smoother with the gear changes as time went on.  
 

It’s so satisfying in VR and a wheel.  I always go for the hardest parking delivery option.  Being able to look out of the window whilst reversing is a game changer and was a bit of a wow moment when I wasn’t expecting to be able to do that.  Looking forward to more jobs and expanding my truck delivery business.
