I haven't played ETS2 in a while, but I remember that you could run a red light and not get a ticket, and the way to do this is by going oncoming lanes passing the stop line then go in any lane you choose

@@howtocookazombie I think depending on what type of PC you have. If you play in low graphics, don't have too much details, the vehicules yes they dissapear. But is not that the case, that doesn't happen to me.
I don’t think that’s possible… sadly every vehicle spawns or disappears when they re out of sight as in every open world game ever made… that would’ve been amazing tough
@@salahdehina9733 That came with one of the latest updates, I think 1.42 or 1.43, they changed the entire steering wheel engine because there was a giveaway for a new steering wheel which has some features that ets didn't support until that update.
the current beta (V1.47) already has procedurally generated, random bumps in the road ;) But I agree. There are a lot of instances, where there's a visual cue of a tarmac change, expansion joints on bridges or other changes and the game does nothing to simulate you driving over it. Missed opportunities :/
something else i've noticed is that the ai correctly reacts to all of your lights. For example, when you're on a roundabout, if you turn on the right blinker, the ai stopped at the closest exit will enter the roundabout (same for intersections), or also when you turn on the blinker to join a lane, the ai will most likely let you in. If you stop by the side of the road (out of the lane) and turn on hazard lights, the ai will behave in the same way as in random events it slows down Really nice details
It's just a shame that the AI completely ignores your indicators when trying to join a freeway, or trying to take a wide turn with a long trailer. I think from now on I'll just put the hazards on instead.
A couple things I've noticed about driveways: If you've been waiting for a while in heavy traffic, unable to leave, the game will do 1 of two things. It will stop spawning traffic going down that side of the road to let you out, or on a very rare occasion an ai vehicle (usually another truck from my experience) will stop anyway and flash you out, in a similar way to the hazard example.
@@alby_alby I don't know where you're from, but in my country is mandatory to have your lights on at all times, so in ets2 I always have my low beams on because of that
@@alamcho I'm from Kenya and we usually have "12 hour" day and night cycles(sunrise at 6, sunset at 7), but not throughout the year. So we're only required to have our lights on when it's either dark, heavily raining, extremely foggy or on rare occasions when there is a dust storm (low visibility in short).
Cars will stop even if you are standing with the same direction, it doesn't matter, I am often annoyed by the fact that while standing and waiting for a clear path, cars stop and block the traffic behind them, it is not realistic
The normal "wear and tear" damage I just attribute to needing normal things like oil/fluid changes, tire rotations, and other routine maintenance tasks.
@@augustferdinand6462 snowrunner has a very long way to go until it becomes anywhere near comparable to this. First of all it needs way better steering wheel support. I really like the game but playing it with a wheel is a headache.
@@ninjafrozr8809 Exactly what I'm hinting at. They can animate every object in the cab but skip the gauges. An inaccurate RPM reading isn't what I had in mind when I got the game. So disappointing.
I noticed that if you go really slow in a road, which can be a highway or even city roads, the AI will overtake you even if they can’t, like in a road with two lane with two direction of travel, the AI will overtake you in the opposite side
I thought it is well known funcionality. It has been implemented since the release of the game in 2012. While playing on Rusmap overtaking by AI is very often I think even if you don't drive slow.
I also had people doing the "swerving into other lanes" when at a traffic light where you have to turn right things do not go as fast as AI traffic wants it to go. I see people doing that so much in real life and I can really understand why it pisses truck drivers off (due to the risk of people being so hyperfocused on the truck in front that they risk a head-on collision with someone going the other way due to how they swerve into the lane of oncoming traffic but did not check that direction for traffic or simply couldn't).
Its not as "they can't", they actually pretty much can and will do that on the usual overtakable road when the slow vehicle moving infront of them. Sometimes they get so inattentive they just straight up having a head-on collision with my truck while trying to overtake the other truck in their lane in the blind spot for both of us.
A great tip is "random events possibility" in settings, set this a bit high (about 30-50%) and you'll see interesting incidents or accidents, for example trucks or cars on fire, trailer load burned or fallen out, FD & police vehicles there, and also roadwork, even roads dug up for pipes etc. I have it set around the middle (which makes everything highly possible), it's awesome, you have many things to see while traveling!
I got detoured nearly 300mi in ATS because of random crashes and stuff. lol. It was wild. At the fourth event, I just carefully maneuvered my truck through and drove on the closed stretch of highway. Surprisingly there was no fines for doing it!
@@dantastic044 but in ETCS usually theres a heavy crash further down the closed highway with an air ambulance helicopter in the middle of the street which you can only soemtimes squeeze past
@@hadinajafi8827 But when i played few years ago it didn`t affect to anything except damage information (I specialy didn`t change tires for long time , but could still drive easily with a heavy load)
I noticed when you flash your high beam lights to greet the oncoming AI truck, sometimes it flashes back in response. Nice little in-game detail to cheer you up.
I also noticed something else with the flashing lights. If you use the flashing lights on the highway, while slowly coming to a stop: the ai behind you will also activate their indicators to warn traffic behind them. Kind of the same way as when approaching a traffic jam or an accident.
Another trick to noted whilst out delivering stuff is again the use of "hazard Lights" on your truck, When you are getting up to a delivery depot use your hazards just BEFORE the entrance you need to reverse into, this will make the Ai following you stop and leave a gap behind you, you can then reverse in peace, just do not leave it to long for your manoeuvring OK, the same trick can also be applied for long / wide loads and tight switchback type corners, use your hazards to create a safe space behind you from following Ai, go on or over opposing lane divider and not only will you have space behind you from the Ai BUT any Ai coming toward you will STOP the other side of corner, thus enabling you to safely complete the manoeuvrer and rejoin your lane.
Otros datos curiosos: Si llevas las luces largas encendidas, los vehículos IA te harán cambio de luces, para que coloques las luces cortas. Si vas a cruzar una calle, pero quieres dejar el paso a otro vehículo de la dirección contraria has doble cambio de luces, el vehículo IA comenzará a avanzar nuevamente
The wheel damage simulates wear as damage, also at a slower rate all the other boxes also simulate damage. I change my tires at about 50-60% damage and by that time even without hitting anything the other boxes will also have damage. It’s a very basic way but it works. Cops allow you 5kph over in ETS2 and 5mph in ATS outside of city limits. Both games in city limits have zero tolerance. Also if they game sees you’re slowing down then usually it won’t give you a ticket.
1:33 It doesn't have to be hazards, I've had my standard indicator on waiting for a gap to pull out into, and after I'd been there for a while, a fellow trucker slowed down for me and flashed at me to pull out. Love touches like this. Also, when you're pulling out of tight roads, often other oncoming drivers will stop and give you loads of room for you to complete your turn.
A thing to be aware of is that if you get to a speed limit sign, going above that limit and having a police car right behind, it will immediately give you a fine. So you have to read them from a distance and brake before getting to it.
The cars are not giving you way because of hazards on, but because of you being too far in their path / inside the crossroad. Also sometimes, if you traffic stands too much in the middle of the road and giving you the way, if there is not enough space for your and your trailer, you can flash them and they will move on.
American truck driver here, the reason why the rumble strips weren't there in the clip you showed was because of the on-ramp. They stop the rumble strips maybe a couple hundred feet before ramps, nice attention to detail. Also, some states here in America put the rumble strips in different places. Like, in Missouri its on the fog line rather than a few inches off of it, it drives me nuts.
I have noticed pretty much everything that you pointed out and sometimes I like to sit in the middle of the road with my hazard lights on just to annoy the Ai in the same way the Ai annoy us players
Not only the tires wear off, but other components too. You can see that in your video, the repair cost for them is not zero at the end of route. The damage is so little it's still reads as 0% tough.
@@MegaLol2xd That only applies to trailers that you don't own. I tried hooking up to my own trailer as gently as possibly could, I was pressing the throttle and brake at the same time so that I'm as smooth as possible, and when I was hoocked I looked up the diagnostics and I had 2£ of repair on the chassis and 1£ on the body, it's nothing but it's still there, there was also a bit of damge on the trailer itself. It shouldn't be this way I think it's just a bug in the game.
I have a couple of things.. If you have Automatic Engine brake on you can actually see the switch on your dash move every time you press the brake. (wipers and indicator stick is an obvious one) For speed if you sit at 5kph or 3mph over the limit you won't get fined if you hit 6kph/4mph you'll be fined. I generally have traffic offences off because if you roll even 1 milimeter over the line (at lights) you get fined. That and you will ALWAYS be a fault if the AI hit you.
As for the “damage” it’s just wear on the vehicle. Drive for long enough the engine and gearbox/transmission will do the same. The tyres+wheels are grouped together. Brake wear is included in the “Chassis” stats. I think? Maybe part of the “Wheels”? Over using the Retarder will accelerate wear on the transmission.
As an ols ETS player I've noticed all of that in the game before. Still enjoyed the video. :) Maybe a thing to include: If there's a police car or some other thing happening in the emergency lane, the AI will slam on their brakes. I don't even know why...
Probably because its unexpected situation and when they pass by someone might just jump out from the front of stationary vehicle. Thats good to double check, I do that too in real life. But yeah, they often do it so quick almost "brake checking" you.
As I’ve done more kilometres in this game than I can remember I have noticed that when driving on the highway and an AI bus or truck overtakes me I automatically flashes the high beams and the bus or truck wait until I flash the high beams and goes right back in just like real life. But It would be nice if they could thank the player for flashing them in with the indicators like left right left common practice among drivers in Europe.
The one behavior I noticed that "breaks" the simulation for me is how trains are spawning. If your FOV is far out and you see a barrier, you will notice that there won't be any train passing. You can stop 1 km away from the barrier and stay there for ages and you will probably don't see a train. The moment you reach the barrier the train will come. Obviously the train spawns for the player. It won't spawn for AI vehicles, so I can understand why it works how it does but it always made me remember I'm still in a game and not real life.
In my opinion, it is usually because the viewing distance is low for the train to render or they did it to reduce the GPU rendering. I could be wrong but that's what I know.
In my case its spawning randomly and you can arrive already to the point it passed the traintracks and cars are about to continue driving. Your pc is probably cant handle something
One option that the developers of Euro Truck could make available in the game is the greeting between drivers on the road through a horn or flashing headlights when they are passing each other in the opposite direction.
I knew most of these with only exceptions the wheel damage. 1st thing i want to say is about the hazard lights while leaving a company works with turn lights too. The AI will slow down but they may not always stop. Also when they're slowing down if you flash your headlights they will continue and not try to stop. 2nd one is that on the tolls that you have to stop in order to pass there is a way to pass without *paying* . To do this you have to be very close to the car Infront and start fast so you will still remain close. It works the best with vans and trucks. 3rd and last one is about the railroad crossings in non reworked and non DLC areas. If you stop on the rain tracks the train will not stop but it will pass through you. However once the bars close there is invisible walls and the train won't pass as long as you are on the tracks. This is only possible in multiplayer where the train will actually pass while being on the tracks. Great vid Milan♥️
I'd noticed a few of these, but it's nice to see more of an explanation then what I've experienced. When you've put so many hours in you sometimes become unsure if it's a feature or bug or glitch and it's often so minor that you forget to google it after a session!
I know how fines for speeding works :) If you drive 4km/h too fast, no fine, but if you go 5 or more over, then you get a fine. If you are on a road where the speed limit is 70 or up, you will only get fined while being infront of a police, but up to 50 you will get fined no mather what direction the police is headed. And last, as you sed in the video, police don't have mirrors and you won't get fined if you are behind them. at 60 to 70km/h I have no idea since that seemes to variate between only giving infront and/or giving no mather directions.
Close enough behind police they will fine too. The most I’ve had my tires up to was like 63% I think and that’s when I replaced them. If you keep driving over time you’ll get damage very slowly on everything, engine, trans, frame, etc. if you bump something it only gives body damage if you don’t hit it too hard, like a sign or something.
I've actually noticed a few of these tips myself... one that was missed, you will always be warned about speed camera traps and they are most of the time between 2 different speed zones between landmarks (like a bridge or a tunnel and such) the only thing thats kind of hard is remembering all the zones police cars look like!
Not always there will be signs. In rural areas or in countries with closed borders there are plenty of cameras that are godly hidden so youll always get fine since you have no idea its even there.
Stuff like this makes the simulator feel more realistic. Great video, bro! Am studying for the CDL test on CDL prep rn. This video makes me feel like I am reviewing the lesson haha
When I saw the DPF regen screen on the DAF I hoped they implemented that, or that at least the bar would move but it doesn't, which kinda sucks. Would be a cool addition.
@@LEEGOOVER9901 As the name says, it's a filter on the exhaust that collects particles (soot) from exhaust gases. It eventually gets clogged up and it has to regenerate (clean itself), and it does that by heating itself up by injecting some fuel into the exhaust and then burning the soot inside. And the blue thing is AdBlue. Usually vehicles with AdBlue have a DPF, but vehicles with a DPF don't always have AdBlue (Older diesels for example). The AdBlue fluid is injected after the DPF, and it goes into the SCR (Selective catalytic reduction) catalyst which then turns harmful NOx into green gasses, as you said. Many gasolines and diesels have a catalytic converter, but they aren't injected with DEF, while the SCR is.
As for the toll page, you can even skipp tolls in ets2!!! Just tailgate behind truck in front and you re good edit, some countries you need to have a tiny distance and in others it doesnt matter
1. After the rain stop, you can open the door windows and close again to wipe off the water. 2. Drive too fast over a bumper can cause damage. 3. Speeding can cost over 1k, but hitting car cost less…bump the cop car off the road and speed off :) 4. Ferry travel slower than driving, and give you less xp at the end. 5. Upgrade gives you 100% condition.
You can drive trough the highway gate or country border without paying or check by following car ahead before the gate get closed 😀. Except the atuomatic highway gate.
ATS does pretty much the same. If you drive 5k miles without having any accidents you aquire wear and tear damage on Engine, Transmission, Tires, Body etc on truck and trailer.
Trailers have tyres... They wear too... If its not your trailer, and no physical damage, youll be fine... If its your own, its on the list of maintenance..
heres a good one this is more of a ats detail but if you scale your truck when full of fuel vs scaling when you have half a tank it will decrease in weight
About the hazards for AI to give us passage, I've seen that it happens when we get in their lane just a tiny bit and it's programed to stop if it happens
@@MiguelElBlanco Yeah, they're a bit too much strict and sticked to the road imo. It should be somthing more like in GTA IV/V, but less crazy and more realistic
The tyre damage, I would say Is down to actually driving the truck, wear and tear on your tyres by how many miles you do. To add realistic effect i would imagine it’s taking into account the tread depth which would ware down irl.
If u see a truck using the inner lane it means there's a single lane passing by a filter out so u have to follow behind it coz if you don't overtake in time you may end up getting out of the freeway without intention of filtering out
There's plenty indications of that situation: radar and green arrows will tell you if you need to change lane, signs over the road usually are distinguishable as where this exact lane goes, the traffic behaviour etc
The most of the tire damage is because of backup maneuvers and u turns. Doing 800kms is not gonna damage your tires. Normally they are gonna be ok hundreds of thousands kms.
Yeah but I think that SCS made it damage like this because the map isn't 1 to 1 scale so technically 800km would be something like 2k maybe and they wanted to add some damage to the tires I still agree that its because of maneuvers and turns (just my opinion)
1. If you have high beams on, the AI passing you will try to notify you by flashing their lights. 2. When entering a higway with the indicator on, the AI will sometimes slow down/stop to let you in. 3. AI will go nuts when going behind you if you are much slower and overtake you, going into the lane going the opposite direction.
I'm a 31 years experienced international truck driver in real life and I can tell you game is the BEST truck simulator existent. Some times I really amazed of how accurate it is. Man, I can tell you I have millions of kms on the European roads but when I'm home I play like a crazy🤣. So, my friends, the game is for real indeed, believe me. The only "errors" you can find in this game is surely due to some "mod" or some "you have no idea of what are you doing right now" thing🤣 (lack of technical/mechanical knowledge which is nothing wrong 🤣but it is a way to people get scared of things🤣) or some hardware issue (this is the most serious issue!!!) I can tell you for my experience! My old PC is not a "bad" one - i7-4770@3.40GHz + nVidia GTX1080 + 32RAM. My new PC is a 5000€ PC(i9 12900k/RTX3090ti + a 4k Samsung monitor bought specially for these 2 games ETS2/ATS😀. The difference is purely infinite! A "low cost" PC will never give anyone the exact image of what this game(s) is about. A Piece of ART (the only) for the World of hauling! I've tested ALL sim games out there. Every one and each of it. It was simply losing time! Rubbish, garbage, stupid games, incredible stupid games and unbelievable stupid games. By distance of entire universe ETS2/ATS are the most "real life experience" game you can ever play. I love it, I drive it and I'm the most happy real/virtual truck driver ever🤣
you can avoid the speed limit on highways by driving in the rightmost lane (or the lane beyond the rightmost lane). If you go there, the speed limit will vanish.
There are two more details that I know of: 1. Trucks from the same brand with different engines will sound different, The FH16 for example sounds different from the regular FH, the mercedes Actros mp4 with the big 15.4 liter engine sounds different from the Actros with the smaller engines, v8 Scanias sound different from straight 6 ones...etc. There are exceptions though, the Renault T Range and Daf XF 106 for example will sound the same regardless of what engine you go for. 2. Scanias 12 and 14 speed transmissions shift a little bit faster than 12 and 14 and 16 speed transmissions in other trucks.
Also when you have above 50% damage the truck overheats, when the temps exceed the red line the truck will simply stall and never start again until the engine has cooled a little bit under the red line
Nice 😍 - but I request scs software team - please add more realistic sky box realistic filter & realistic roads texture different country - please add more realistic texture & filter all vehicles. - please add truck more interior cabin details key option like , AC control , cabin lights and more... - please add realistic truck vibration with cabin accessories vibration. Thanks 🤝 scs software team - great work - ETS2 is my 😍 game 🚛 👍
found a "Glitch" in ATS maybe it can carry over to ETS you can go how ever fast you want so long its on the ememgery lane or shoulder for some reason the speed limit isn't applied there despite being a truck
I love this game... I only have one issue w/ this game though... SCS should try to include bus terminals and passenger cargo for those who want to drive a bus.. there are plenty of 3rd-party terminal & passenger mods but sometimes they have conflict w/ other add-on mods... especially terminal mods since they require changes in map itself... of, if SCS don't want to do that, then they should consider adding areas in map where 3rd-party can build a bus station mod w/out impacting the maps to prevent game crash...
Forgot to 2 old things that ai do. One is when driving in country road with ur high beam, opposite passing ai will light flash u. Second(rare) is if u light flash a opposite approaching truck, it will light flash in response. New thing are engine sound will get louder when u carry more load, handling of truck varies with load weight ur carrying, u will skid when using retarder in wet conditions.
Oh, notice that if you keep your speed at 30 km/h or less inside gates building, automatic gate will smoothly open just in front of you (if it is present: some areas let you pass-through and pay by ViaToll without any gates). Also if you tailgate someone, carefully closing the gap, the gate won't close after them, letting you go (faster). Actually I and a lot of my colleagues use this technique everyday while leaving our workplace parking lot, so the discovery came almost instinctively. I'm not sure but latest updates had also changed the behavior of these gates (entrances, railroad crossings, toll gates) making the above easier. I remember hitting invisible walls if only it was not fully opened.
for the tires i believe it's to simulate wear and tear. The more you drive the more your tires get worn. I have noticed some of the things you mention here as well though. E.g. speeding behind the police car and only getting the fine once the overtaking is done. In some countries you don't get fined if the police car is going in the opposite direction. Think it was Finland or Poland among others where i saw this. Could have been other countries though. Nice video like always

I noticed that if you go really slow in a road, which can be a highway or even city roads, the AI will overtake you even if they can’t, like in a road with two lane with two direction of travel, the AI will overtake you in the opposite side
I thought it is well known funcionality. It has been implemented since the release of the game in 2012. While playing on Rusmap overtaking by AI is very often I think even if you don't drive slow.
I also had people doing the "swerving into other lanes" when at a traffic light where you have to turn right things do not go as fast as AI traffic wants it to go. I see people doing that so much in real life and I can really understand why it pisses truck drivers off (due to the risk of people being so hyperfocused on the truck in front that they risk a head-on collision with someone going the other way due to how they swerve into the lane of oncoming traffic but did not check that direction for traffic or simply couldn't).
Its not as "they can't", they actually pretty much can and will do that on the usual overtakable road when the slow vehicle moving infront of them. Sometimes they get so inattentive they just straight up having a head-on collision with my truck while trying to overtake the other truck in their lane in the blind spot for both of us.
A great tip is "random events possibility" in settings, set this a bit high (about 30-50%) and you'll see interesting incidents or accidents, for example trucks or cars on fire, trailer load burned or fallen out, FD & police vehicles there, and also roadwork, even roads dug up for pipes etc. I have it set around the middle (which makes everything highly possible), it's awesome, you have many things to see while traveling!
@O.G Autistler If you set the chance on high you see if more often I guess
I got detoured nearly 300mi in ATS because of random crashes and stuff. lol. It was wild. At the fourth event, I just carefully maneuvered my truck through and drove on the closed stretch of highway. Surprisingly there was no fines for doing it!
@@dantastic044 Yeah, just make sure not to crash into the air...
@@dantastic044 but in ETCS usually theres a heavy crash further down the closed highway with an air ambulance helicopter in the middle of the street which you can only soemtimes squeeze past
@@dantastic044 я всегда пытаюсь обмануть систему и проехать по закрытому участку))
About the damage only for driving it, it's not a bug, it's not a problem, it's to be a tyre wear simulation, for me, it's very good!
No one said it's a bug :))) it's a fantastic detail :) love this game
@@hadinajafi8827 But when i played few years ago it didn`t affect to anything except damage information (I specialy didn`t change tires for long time , but could still drive easily with a heavy load)
If you're standing on the freeway with your hazard lights on, cars overtake you more slowly than without
I noticed when you flash your high beam lights to greet the oncoming AI truck, sometimes it flashes back in response. Nice little in-game detail to cheer you up.
it's probably only its normal response to you having your high beams on (no matter how long you had them on)
@@wullxzyup, they dont want us to blind them ☠️
Random trucker: flashes high beam onto oncoming traffic just to greet them.
Traffic: AAAH, stop that please, Im partially blind
I also noticed something else with the flashing lights. If you use the flashing lights on the highway, while slowly coming to a stop: the ai behind you will also activate their indicators to warn traffic behind them.
Kind of the same way as when approaching a traffic jam or an accident.
Even without the map expansions, the quality of game you get for the price tag is aastounding.
Yes, of course
A @@someone8653
Wrong. You get that only if you spend more money on dlc and actually buy most of them which is pretty expensive overall.
Another trick to noted whilst out delivering stuff is again the use of "hazard Lights" on your truck, When you are getting up to a delivery depot use your hazards just BEFORE the entrance you need to reverse into, this will make the Ai following you stop and leave a gap behind you, you can then reverse in peace, just do not leave it to long for your manoeuvring OK, the same trick can also be applied for long / wide loads and tight switchback type corners, use your hazards to create a safe space behind you from following Ai, go on or over opposing lane divider and not only will you have space behind you from the Ai BUT any Ai coming toward you will STOP the other side of corner, thus enabling you to safely complete the manoeuvrer and rejoin your lane.
Otros datos curiosos:
Si llevas las luces largas encendidas, los vehículos IA te harán cambio de luces, para que coloques las luces cortas.
Si vas a cruzar una calle, pero quieres dejar el paso a otro vehículo de la dirección contraria has doble cambio de luces, el vehículo IA comenzará a avanzar nuevamente
The wheel damage simulates wear as damage, also at a slower rate all the other boxes also simulate damage.
I change my tires at about 50-60% damage and by that time even without hitting anything the other boxes will also have damage. It’s a very basic way but it works.
Cops allow you 5kph over in ETS2 and 5mph in ATS outside of city limits.
Both games in city limits have zero tolerance. Also if they game sees you’re slowing down then usually it won’t give you a ticket.
5:31 you ran out of fuel, but Škoda/Liaz tanker just carried it to you. 😆
1:33
It doesn't have to be hazards, I've had my standard indicator on waiting for a gap to pull out into, and after I'd been there for a while, a fellow trucker slowed down for me and flashed at me to pull out. Love touches like this.
Also, when you're pulling out of tight roads, often other oncoming drivers will stop and give you loads of room for you to complete your turn.
2:44 If you're driving on the shoulder of the road (emergency lane) the game ignores your speed, therefore saving you from getting a fine.
Depends on the road, I've seen some turnpikes where the shoulders had the (typically lower) road speed limit (and got fined for my sins).
Probably unintended since game doesnt recognise it as part of the road
Damage to a vehicle isn’t just crashing, there’s wear and tear as well
A thing to be aware of is that if you get to a speed limit sign, going above that limit and having a police car right behind, it will immediately give you a fine. So you have to read them from a distance and brake before getting to it.
Thats how reallife driving works
The cars are not giving you way because of hazards on, but because of you being too far in their path / inside the crossroad.
Also sometimes, if you traffic stands too much in the middle of the road and giving you the way, if there is not enough space for your and your trailer, you can flash them and they will move on.
American truck driver here, the reason why the rumble strips weren't there in the clip you showed was because of the on-ramp. They stop the rumble strips maybe a couple hundred feet before ramps, nice attention to detail. Also, some states here in America put the rumble strips in different places. Like, in Missouri its on the fog line rather than a few inches off of it, it drives me nuts.
I have noticed pretty much everything that you pointed out and sometimes I like to sit in the middle of the road with my hazard lights on just to annoy the Ai in the same way the Ai annoy us players
I like how most people say "to annoy ai". Youre actually annoying your CPU by making it to pretend your next move so it can give ai instructions
Not only the tires wear off, but other components too. You can see that in your video, the repair cost for them is not zero at the end of route. The damage is so little it's still reads as 0% tough.
0:35 chassis and cabin don't get damaged from just driving, you've hit\touch something. engine, gearbox and wheels yes - they get "used"
That's true. But also if you have your own trailer, your truck will get slightly damged each time you hook it.
@@salahdehina9733 if you hit/touch your trailer, yes, if you do this smooth - not.
@@MegaLol2xd That only applies to trailers that you don't own. I tried hooking up to my own trailer as gently as possibly could, I was pressing the throttle and brake at the same time so that I'm as smooth as possible, and when I was hoocked I looked up the diagnostics and I had 2£ of repair on the chassis and 1£ on the body, it's nothing but it's still there, there was also a bit of damge on the trailer itself. It shouldn't be this way I think it's just a bug in the game.
@@salahdehina9733 That's probably the lubrifiant for the body & the trailer's connecting point. Makes sense.
4:42 I like how the AI starts honking the horn when your blocking the road, now it knows how we feel like when it does that to us.
I knew about everything except timer in DAF. Nice video 🥳🥳!
that mod changes the entire physics of the game, because I've tested 100% damage tyres without mods and it isn't more slippery
I have a couple of things..
If you have Automatic Engine brake on you can actually see the switch on your dash move every time you press the brake. (wipers and indicator stick is an obvious one)
For speed if you sit at 5kph or 3mph over the limit you won't get fined if you hit 6kph/4mph you'll be fined.
I generally have traffic offences off because if you roll even 1 milimeter over the line (at lights) you get fined. That and you will ALWAYS be a fault if the AI hit you.
It's actually %10 over the limit, not a fixed number.
@@ninjafrozr8809 i just put show car limit (which is 130 on highway) and I don't get fined until I'm over 130 kph its nice
Not accurate. You will not get fined if the AI obviously crashed in you because of they fault.
As for the “damage” it’s just wear on the vehicle. Drive for long enough the engine and gearbox/transmission will do the same. The tyres+wheels are grouped together. Brake wear is included in the “Chassis” stats. I think? Maybe part of the “Wheels”?
Over using the Retarder will accelerate wear on the transmission.
As an ols ETS player I've noticed all of that in the game before. Still enjoyed the video. :)
Maybe a thing to include: If there's a police car or some other thing happening in the emergency lane, the AI will slam on their brakes. I don't even know why...
Probably because its unexpected situation and when they pass by someone might just jump out from the front of stationary vehicle. Thats good to double check, I do that too in real life. But yeah, they often do it so quick almost "brake checking" you.
The rumble strips can also effect force feedback btw
As I’ve done more kilometres in this game than I can remember I have noticed that when driving on the highway and an AI bus or truck overtakes me I automatically flashes the high beams and the bus or truck wait until I flash the high beams and goes right back in just like real life. But It would be nice if they could thank the player for flashing them in with the indicators like left right left common practice among drivers in Europe.
The one behavior I noticed that "breaks" the simulation for me is how trains are spawning. If your FOV is far out and you see a barrier, you will notice that there won't be any train passing. You can stop 1 km away from the barrier and stay there for ages and you will probably don't see a train. The moment you reach the barrier the train will come. Obviously the train spawns for the player. It won't spawn for AI vehicles, so I can understand why it works how it does but it always made me remember I'm still in a game and not real life.
In my opinion, it is usually because the viewing distance is low for the train to render or they did it to reduce the GPU rendering. I could be wrong but that's what I know.
In my case its spawning randomly and you can arrive already to the point it passed the traintracks and cars are about to continue driving. Your pc is probably cant handle something
@@buoyancydabl no, it is not my pc. I got a monster in terms of specs. Maybe it was a train mod.
@@1ceb0xcfbl obviously yes, if this happens only to you and you have train mod its probably it.
There was this old truck simulator game called 18 Wheels of Steel. The police would actually chase u down and u have to pull over.
One option that the developers of Euro Truck could make available in the game is the greeting between drivers on the road through a horn or flashing headlights when they are passing each other in the opposite direction.
If you flash the high beam just right, the car or truck in the opposite direction will do the same.
@@tairikuokami because they notifying you your hb is on. They not greeting you, they try to prevent you to making someone temporarily blind.
The fact that he drove that far without crashing is amazing
I knew most of these with only exceptions the wheel damage. 1st thing i want to say is about the hazard lights while leaving a company works with turn lights too. The AI will slow down but they may not always stop. Also when they're slowing down if you flash your headlights they will continue and not try to stop. 2nd one is that on the tolls that you have to stop in order to pass there is a way to pass without *paying* . To do this you have to be very close to the car Infront and start fast so you will still remain close. It works the best with vans and trucks.
3rd and last one is about the railroad crossings in non reworked and non DLC areas. If you stop on the rain tracks the train will not stop but it will pass through you. However once the bars close there is invisible walls and the train won't pass as long as you are on the tracks. This is only possible in multiplayer where the train will actually pass while being on the tracks.
Great vid Milan♥️
I'd noticed a few of these, but it's nice to see more of an explanation then what I've experienced. When you've put so many hours in you sometimes become unsure if it's a feature or bug or glitch and it's often so minor that you forget to google it after a session!
I know how fines for speeding works :) If you drive 4km/h too fast, no fine, but if you go 5 or more over, then you get a fine. If you are on a road where the speed limit is 70 or up, you will only get fined while being infront of a police, but up to 50 you will get fined no mather what direction the police is headed. And last, as you sed in the video, police don't have mirrors and you won't get fined if you are behind them. at 60 to 70km/h I have no idea since that seemes to variate between only giving infront and/or giving no mather directions.
When setting the gameplay settings for the cruise control. The tolerance setting also affects the speed fine settings
@@kingkapelo Aaah, okey
Great video Milan! Thanks! 💪🏻💯💪🏻
Close enough behind police they will fine too.
The most I’ve had my tires up to was like 63% I think and that’s when I replaced them. If you keep driving over time you’ll get damage very slowly on everything, engine, trans, frame, etc. if you bump something it only gives body damage if you don’t hit it too hard, like a sign or something.
On ATS, if the road limit is 55 mph and you go over 80 mph, you won't get ticketed by the police car
Does not work in all cases
There is an option in the gameplay menu to turn off traffic fines, also to take off speed limiter
only on ETS2, it does not exist on ATS...
I've actually noticed a few of these tips myself... one that was missed, you will always be warned about speed camera traps and they are most of the time between 2 different speed zones between landmarks (like a bridge or a tunnel and such) the only thing thats kind of hard is remembering all the zones police cars look like!
Not always there will be signs. In rural areas or in countries with closed borders there are plenty of cameras that are godly hidden so youll always get fine since you have no idea its even there.
Stuff like this makes the simulator feel more realistic. Great video, bro! Am studying for the CDL test on CDL prep rn. This video makes me feel like I am reviewing the lesson haha
Good luck!
When I saw the DPF regen screen on the DAF I hoped they implemented that, or that at least the bar would move but it doesn't, which kinda sucks. Would be a cool addition.
Dpf?
@@LEEGOOVER9901 Diesel particulate filter.
@@DTD2212 what is that? Is that thing works with the blue thingy for eco friendly gas?
@@LEEGOOVER9901 As the name says, it's a filter on the exhaust that collects particles (soot) from exhaust gases. It eventually gets clogged up and it has to regenerate (clean itself), and it does that by heating itself up by injecting some fuel into the exhaust and then burning the soot inside. And the blue thing is AdBlue. Usually vehicles with AdBlue have a DPF, but vehicles with a DPF don't always have AdBlue (Older diesels for example). The AdBlue fluid is injected after the DPF, and it goes into the SCR (Selective catalytic reduction) catalyst which then turns harmful NOx into green gasses, as you said. Many gasolines and diesels have a catalytic converter, but they aren't injected with DEF, while the SCR is.
Milan is very underrated!! Good videos about mods, details, updates... And the editing is so good... Deserve a lot of new subscribers!!
As for the toll page, you can even skipp tolls in ets2!!! Just tailgate behind truck in front and you re good
edit, some countries you need to have a tiny distance and in others it doesnt matter
1. After the rain stop, you can open the door windows and close again to wipe off the water.
2. Drive too fast over a bumper can cause damage.
3. Speeding can cost over 1k, but hitting car cost less…bump the cop car off the road and speed off :)
4. Ferry travel slower than driving, and give you less xp at the end.
5. Upgrade gives you 100% condition.
Its awesome when you see the amount of hidden detail
The one with crossing tolls is very useful, thanks for showing me this, because those places always make me want to crash into them
Tyre wear is taken into account when factoring pricing! Same as oil changes new parts fuel etc!
fun fact: you can speed in the shoulder lanes
You can drive trough the highway gate or country border without paying or check by following car ahead before the gate get closed 😀. Except the atuomatic highway gate.
They will fine you now for that behaviour (at least borders do)
I have 240 hours in the game and I didn't know but one of these! Amazing work.
3:25 you won't get a speeding ticket unless you are going 10% plus 2 mph faster than the limit.
ATS does pretty much the same.
If you drive 5k miles without having any accidents you aquire wear and tear damage on Engine, Transmission, Tires, Body etc on truck and trailer.
A feature often overlooked is the differential lock.
Theres no really much need in it, since you can complete the game and still use it exactly 0 times.
Love this video! I can't believe they still add new things to this game after so many years!
And they will transform this game. Mark my words
I have notice a details drive over 800km more, and no crashing cars the trailer will damage 1% . I'm think some players will know this detail.
I believe that's because at the corner the trailer swayed. and also I feel this happens often especially on fragile loads
Trailers have tyres... They wear too...
If its not your trailer, and no physical damage, youll be fine...
If its your own, its on the list of maintenance..
@@kimpatz2189 Oh I see.
heres a good one this is more of a ats detail but if you scale your truck when full of fuel vs scaling when you have half a tank it will decrease in weight
About the hazards for AI to give us passage, I've seen that it happens when we get in their lane just a tiny bit and it's programed to stop if it happens
Luckily there are mods that stop that behavior
@@Peterkragger awesome, improved AI would be really nice
@@MiguelElBlanco Yeah, they're a bit too much strict and sticked to the road imo. It should be somthing more like in GTA IV/V, but less crazy and more realistic
@@Peterkragger indeed
Spezial detail : the motor break . If you do the break harder the truck Show you something
The tyre damage, I would say Is down to actually driving the truck, wear and tear on your tyres by how many miles you do. To add realistic effect i would imagine it’s taking into account the tread depth which would ware down irl.
If u see a truck using the inner lane it means there's a single lane passing by a filter out so u have to follow behind it coz if you don't overtake in time you may end up getting out of the freeway without intention of filtering out
There's plenty indications of that situation: radar and green arrows will tell you if you need to change lane, signs over the road usually are distinguishable as where this exact lane goes, the traffic behaviour etc
O wow i never knew hazards actually affected the ai. Definitely gonna use them more often. The rest i did already know
Many toll booths have "Auto Pass" lanes, usually on the far right, where you can just go through without even a barrier being there
The most of the tire damage is because of backup maneuvers and u turns. Doing 800kms is not gonna damage your tires. Normally they are gonna be ok hundreds of thousands kms.
Yeah but I think that SCS made it damage like this because the map isn't 1 to 1 scale so technically 800km would be something like 2k maybe and they wanted to add some damage to the tires I still agree that its because of maneuvers and turns (just my opinion)
A few hundred thousand? Which tyres are you getting?
Tires are damaged every 500 km by 1%
1. If you have high beams on, the AI passing you will try to notify you by flashing their lights.
2. When entering a higway with the indicator on, the AI will sometimes slow down/stop to let you in.
3. AI will go nuts when going behind you if you are much slower and overtake you, going into the lane going the opposite direction.
Interesting details
I'm a 31 years experienced international truck driver in real life and I can tell you game is the BEST truck simulator existent. Some times I really amazed of how accurate it is. Man, I can tell you I have millions of kms on the European roads but when I'm home I play like a crazy🤣. So, my friends, the game is for real indeed, believe me. The only "errors" you can find in this game is surely due to some "mod" or some "you have no idea of what are you doing right now" thing🤣 (lack of technical/mechanical knowledge which is nothing wrong 🤣but it is a way to people get scared of things🤣) or some hardware issue (this is the most serious issue!!!) I can tell you for my experience! My old PC is not a "bad" one - i7-4770@3.40GHz + nVidia GTX1080 + 32RAM. My new PC is a 5000€ PC(i9 12900k/RTX3090ti + a 4k Samsung monitor bought specially for these 2 games ETS2/ATS😀. The difference is purely infinite! A "low cost" PC will never give anyone the exact image of what this game(s) is about. A Piece of ART (the only) for the World of hauling! I've tested ALL sim games out there. Every one and each of it. It was simply losing time! Rubbish, garbage, stupid games, incredible stupid games and unbelievable stupid games. By distance of entire universe ETS2/ATS are the most "real life experience" game you can ever play. I love it, I drive it and I'm the most happy real/virtual truck driver ever🤣
you can avoid the speed limit on highways by driving in the rightmost lane (or the lane beyond the rightmost lane). If you go there, the speed limit will vanish.
So if you drive a couple of thousand KM's a week in real life you dont expect there to be any wear and tear on your daily driver ?
There are two more details that I know of:
1. Trucks from the same brand with different engines will sound different, The FH16 for example sounds different from the regular FH, the mercedes Actros mp4 with the big 15.4 liter engine sounds different from the Actros with the smaller engines, v8 Scanias sound different from straight 6 ones...etc. There are exceptions though, the Renault T Range and Daf XF 106 for example will sound the same regardless of what engine you go for.
2. Scanias 12 and 14 speed transmissions shift a little bit faster than 12 and 14 and 16 speed transmissions in other trucks.
1:30 its not the hazard lights, they will flash you when you wait long with blinkers doesn't matter if hazard or blinkers it works with both
Also when you have above 50% damage the truck overheats, when the temps exceed the red line the truck will simply stall and never start again until the engine has cooled a little bit under the red line
Nice 😍 - but I request scs software team - please add more realistic sky box realistic filter & realistic roads texture different country - please add more realistic texture & filter all vehicles.
- please add truck more interior cabin details key option like , AC control , cabin lights and more...
- please add realistic truck vibration with cabin accessories vibration.
Thanks 🤝 scs software team - great work - ETS2 is my 😍 game 🚛 👍
Done as you wished in 1.49 (except AC and and cabin light (tho you can kinda make it by adding some lighting upgrade inside).
if you drive on gravel, you could loose traction if going too fast
A detail I have noticed, is that if you accidentally drive with high beams, then the ai will flash thier high beam to make us turn ours off
I've been playing WTS2 for years and i didn't know the hazard lights trick, thank you!
It's called TIRE WEAR... lol
found a "Glitch" in ATS maybe it can carry over to ETS you can go how ever fast you want so long its on the ememgery lane or shoulder for some reason the speed limit isn't applied there despite being a truck
I love this game... I only have one issue w/ this game though... SCS should try to include bus terminals and passenger cargo for those who want to drive a bus.. there are plenty of 3rd-party terminal & passenger mods but sometimes they have conflict w/ other add-on mods... especially terminal mods since they require changes in map itself... of, if SCS don't want to do that, then they should consider adding areas in map where 3rd-party can build a bus station mod w/out impacting the maps to prevent game crash...
These games called E/A Truck Simulator, not American or Euro Bus Simulator
Forgot to 2 old things that ai do. One is when driving in country road with ur high beam, opposite passing ai will light flash u. Second(rare) is if u light flash a opposite approaching truck, it will light flash in response.
New thing are engine sound will get louder when u carry more load, handling of truck varies with load weight ur carrying, u will skid when using retarder in wet conditions.
Milan you have nice videos and i like them but please dont put clickbait thumbnails.
2:10 omg is that the first stoppable train?!
clickbait thumbnail??
In the thumbnail it shows a damaged tire and in the video the tire got damaged in repair shop but not visible in the world so not clickbait
Yes, somewhat clickbait. I thought they got dirtier and older the more I drive
Spawning on the train tracks is a fun way to protest the unrealistically large number of trains that travel down single track railways
Oh, notice that if you keep your speed at 30 km/h or less inside gates building, automatic gate will smoothly open just in front of you (if it is present: some areas let you pass-through and pay by ViaToll without any gates). Also if you tailgate someone, carefully closing the gap, the gate won't close after them, letting you go (faster). Actually I and a lot of my colleagues use this technique everyday while leaving our workplace parking lot, so the discovery came almost instinctively.
I'm not sure but latest updates had also changed the behavior of these gates (entrances, railroad crossings, toll gates) making the above easier. I remember hitting invisible walls if only it was not fully opened.
for the tires i believe it's to simulate wear and tear. The more you drive the more your tires get worn. I have noticed some of the things you mention here as well though. E.g. speeding behind the police car and only getting the fine once the overtaking is done. In some countries you don't get fined if the police car is going in the opposite direction. Think it was Finland or Poland among others where i saw this. Could have been other countries though. Nice video like always
Also, the police cars can´t fine you if you already cross the border of their jurisdiction.
