One of the reasons the game is still popular is that SCS Software engages their users, keeps the game updated and constantly updates the maps (for free), as well as provides new DLC maps on a regular basis to expand the world. They license real trucks and trailers, and have great cooperation with these companies to make them as authentic as possible. The game also has a huge modding base. But at it's heart, it's the experience of driving a big truck around Europe, and it's incredibly immersive. If you'd rather drive an American big rig on the Interstate, American Truck Simulator is equally as good, and are expanding the maps constantly (going west to east, they're up to Nebraska)
I originally bought the game because of the music track in the original game trailer. It had a sick beat and I was kind of hoping for similar music in-game, which would have made it an awesome sim game. The game itself is actually BYOM (bring your own music) rather than playing cool licensed tracks. The cities are kind of a joke.

Just a tip from a 7 year trucker. Currently hauling jet fuel. The only thing I’ll gripe about (I’m holding back, lol) is the brakes aren’t “backwards.” Push to release, pull to apply the brakes. Also, when backing. Hold your hands at “9 and 3” and lift the hand that you want the trailer to move to. Want the trailer to move left? Lift your left hand. Shorter the wheelbase, the more twitchy the trailer will be. This also works better when you don’t have the wheel in an exaggeratedly flat position like you guys did, haha. I’d say normal is about 45° or less. Keep on truckin’.
Do you know of any back of the trucks I might be able to find jet fuel fall off of for a lesser price than the jet fuel would be if it didn’t fall off the back of a truck? Asking for a friend
@@notatypobrutha I heard from a friend that after every load I.. They have about 2-3 gallons left over in the piping and either it gets dumped at the rack where you get the fuel when you get back or I.. They can put it in their diesel tank on their truck. But other than that I.. They probably wouldn’t want to lose their job slingin’ jet fuel.
As a truck driver and a computer nerd. This was a fun watch. And yes, the longer the distance from the 5th wheel, to the trailers axles, the longer it takes to respond to your steering inputs. I can back a 53' into a tight spot easier than a 12 foot landscape trailer.
Years ago I built a ridiculous fanatec sim rig for iracing with the best pieces you could get at the time (~8years ago).. one day I'm sitting in the living room downloading American Truck Simulator thinking it'd be a stupid little game to tinker with for a few hours... we'll as the download finished, a buddy came over (it was a Thursday) with Costco pizza and 40s. I was playing and showed him the game... "dude you want to drive trucks and drink 40s?" And so we did... after a few hours there were 3 or 4 of us building a trucking empire... drinking 40s, flipping trucks, running stoplights, failing to back up trailers... having a good time... From that day forward we had a regular Thursday hangout that we called "truckin and 40s". The trucking never stopped. Those were the glory days 👌
I think they might be keeping this for themselves for when they are on break and they'll fight over it and Linus will eventually decide it's fate will be the same as the scorpion chair
Been a receiving forklift driver for 10 years. The longest I've seen a truck take to back in was a Swift driver who took 45 minutes. We have a very large lot with lots of room to maneuver. We occasionally get new truckers who take 10-20 minutes, but it was quite something to watch a truck go back and forth for 45 minutes.
Did receiving at a grocery store for a few years. One driver took over 1.5 hours to back in, after 15 minutes I stopped waiting and went about the rest of my work. When the bell finally rang at the backdoor I had totally forgot there was a truck out there LOL. Had loss prevention check the camera and according to them it was quite s**t show. For reference a soso driver takes about 5 to 10 minutes and a good driver takes less then 5 to back into any of our 3 docks.
European trucking facts: actually virtually all modern trucks in Europe are on automatic transmission (for EU people: in the US they literally almost always use manual which is an interesting contrast to cars). Oh and typically there's a 90 kph (~56 mph) limiter (for EU viewers, in the US trucks can go as fast as 110 km/h on interstate and more, basically just like cars). Also, the parking brake in EU trucks is typically a small handle or a button sort of similar to what you'd find in a car, not a standardized yellow colored pull/push thingy like on US trucks.
US trucker here. One thing I would like to point out is that most big fleets have switched to automatic transmissions as it makes getting a CDL easier for the driver, better fuel mileage even for new drivers, and less fatigue in stop and go city traffic. Owner-Operators, Drivers who own their own truck and pick jobs up either from a brokerage service or have contracts between them and another company. They on average will have manual transmissions still but this is slowly starting to change as the reliability and fuel efficiency of automatics have improved over the decades.
@@Hybris51129 I'm one of the purists that can't stand the autos. Current rig is a '24 Pete with a manual cause my employer wanted to bribe me into staying longer lol (I have a paid-off truck sitting at home and they know that)
@@bernarddowd6446 dude same. They've gotten a bit better but my first 3 years in this career were on auto. Learning to back into a dock with an auto before they implemented the "creeping" feature (where they act like a car and creep forward when you let off the brake) was A PAIN. Also had a 2017 Freightliner that had a sensor die somewhere and it was stuck in manual mode for 3 weeks with no traction or stability control. Thankfully it was summer, but manually whacking the shift stick every single gear change was so annoying because it had like a 2 second lag.
European trucks generally have automated transmissions, although you can get some with an automatic transmission as an option, mainly for local distribution.
Trucker fun facts: 1. It is VERY hard to stall, you dont use the throttle while letting out of the clutch. Even on hills. 2. The pee jug thing is actually pretty common 3. Police dont need a reason to pull you over, they can literally decide to just pull over blue trucks because its Tuesday. 4. Generally speaking, we can only be inspected/cited by state certified police, which is pretty much only state police, so if you see a sherriff ignoring a speeding truck, its because he cant do much. 5. When using an engine brake, the truck engine doesnt burn fuel, so technically the engine isnt running while theyre activated. 6. Truck brakes have springs that keep the brakes applied, they need air to push back on the springs to release, and another flow of air to push against THAT supply to brake. So if an air system fails on a truck, all of the brakes are set. No air = no move. 7. Seriously we pee in pop bottles sometimes 8. Typical truck transmissions have 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, or 18 gears. 9. Truck tires are typically inflated to 105 to 110psi 10. Semi trucks routinely achieve 1 million miles, some well over 2 million.
actually police do need a reason to stop you. they do not have the right to stop anyone just because they feel like it. they still have to have some form of reason for doing so otherwise it's classed as harassment. but they don't need much like they can make up some BS but still technically they have to have a reason for stopping you. and you forgot the most common amount of gears which is 12. :)
@savagememes873 Fmcsa says no cause, they can stop you at random, they can even do it while you're parked! Most common is a 10 speed, most common automatic is a 12.
@@sefii05i have a 12 speed. 🤫 Automatic buts its still a manual transmission with a cluch. You usually shift around 1600rpm. Engine brake is up to 2000rpm (2200 on some engine) They are all 12-13-14 litres inline 6 cylinders 400 to 600hp with 1300 to 1800 torque (you can tune and all that to whatever but those are mostly stock numbers)
I was watching them adjust the wheel angle little do they know that's the position you put it in when your eating and then unlock the wheel and put it in a more normal angle
Some real life Euro Truck Sim fun: - Use the pedal shifters for your turn signals. You dont use the pedals anyway. Game Changer, as the young kids say. - It is really hard to stall a truck - Configure the ingame radio with real (online) stations, or just use any online radio you feel like. - European trucks do use automatic gearboxes since the dawn of time in the 2000s but it is sometimes fun to use the H-Shifter and try to revmatching floating gearchanges.
Speaking of rev matching floating gear changes, when I was a teenager I had a car whose clutch pedal went out and I continued driving it for several weeks before I got it fixed by doing just that. Fortunately the transmission had some kind of mechanism to automatically speed match both sides of the clutch pad, so it was surprisingly easy to drive without a working clutch pedal.
@@dennisestenson7820 That's called a syncro mesh gearbox. It's why you don't need to speed match in a car when shifting, while you still do in a truck even using the clutch.
european trucks also use synchromesh manual transmissions since like a bit earlier than 2000s? anyway in scanias or volvos if you opt for a manual it's just like the one in a car (same for zf transmissions in most other trucks) just with a range and splitter

Being a truck driver in the Uk I was howling at this the entire time gotta appreciate the time and money spent in this video setting all that up and reversing a trailer takes time to learn but once you learn it becomes second nature !
@@ConeJellos Not with all the random drug test now days and there is a national level clearing house for those test as well. If you even refuse to take a drug test it's considered a failure and that's it. Every future employer will see that failure and so will their insurance company. Good luck with all that. Of course it doesn't stop first offenders but it definitely puts a big dent in recidivism rates.
18:48 Transducers are a must have. So good if you are using one, then it turns off mid driving, the rig feels broken. Most underrated simracing item for sure.
I installed one on the underside of my seat, and the jerk and rumble from engine start and idle brought a whole other level of immersion on its own. It is actually intended for music, when I'm kicking back with my headphone.
You get fined for accidents. There is no getting pulled over in the game, no going to court to fight it, you just get fined. Same if you drive too long without sleeping, you get a fine automatically.
@@MannyBrum Regarding not sleeping, not if you turn of the fatigue thing(or whatever it is that requires you to stop and sleep or eat or whatever). Less realistic, but jobs get done faster.
18:02 its called floating gears. We only use the clutch to start. They also have a two-stage clutch. All the way down engage a clutch break, that lets you get it in a gear. Then take it half way up and now its just a normal clutch. So don't hold the clutch to the floor on a big truck. Use it to get in gear then go up halfway.
As both a computer builder and an automotive fitter in the heavy vehicle sector, it was hilarious watching a bunch of pc tech guys ponder over the weight adjustable seat base like cavemen discovering a new stronger and better type of rock.
As a warehouse worker I can confirm we DO regularly see truckers who are terrible at backing in, and we DO make fun of them. Oddly enough these days they tend to be trucks from Canada, our best guess is the trucker strikes up there led to a bunch of new drivers getting railroaded through training without a lot of behind the wheel time. Also I once had an honest to God cowboy trucker show up like he was a character in that 18 Wheeler arcade game from back in the day. He had the hat, duster, boots with the spurs, six shooter, the works. That dude rocked.
I used to be a shunter on a britvic site.most drivers did a decent job... but the women drivers would bay it everything because they knew they were being watched
a friend of mine knew a truck driver from the States, and he said there are places where you need a gun in order to fend off people from trying to steal your load and/or vehicle as well
Canadian truck mechanic here, not a driver but do hear enough rumor about the industry. The test to acquire an A-class license (CDL for the Americans) have been substantially dumb downed over the past few years. And we have a huge influx of people from certain countries taking up driving as a career. To say it as nice as possible: not a lot of them change their driving habit after moving out of their country of birth leading to much frustration for everyone else on the road.
@Rayden440 I have also noticed that they definitely aren't native to Canada. They don't really speak English or French well so it's kind of a pain to deal with them down here. Still the main issue is them taking a half hour to back in when their trailers already take an hour and a half to unload, we'll have trucks lined up around the block waiting for them and we'll have to skip breaks to get them all dealt with.
Man, I miss Euro Truck Simulator! Last time I fired it up, I got so into it that I spent 6 hours hauling cargo just to bail my driver out of debt. It was like a digital road trip of financial redemption. Good times, good times!
Next time just use Cheat Engine to give yourself a ton of money. It takes a lot of the stress away when you don't have to worry about every little thing putting you into debt, allowing you to relax and actually enjoy the game.
Bro my crew was driving like a year ago but we were like truck driving while drunk and do more mario kart style playing it was fun but now it just went silent
7:00 Yes, Linus, you need high refresh rate for trucking. Because you will be looking around multiples times during trailer parking. I have accompanied SCS Software's evolution since the first ETS, and throughout all the ETS2 DLCs, and ATS as well (American Truck Simulator). It has been amazing seeing this niche game grow, and engaging to experience every bit of new terrain and feature.
Im 71 retired semi driver. That seat is replicating the air ride seat in the truck cab. When you hit a bump or uneven road the seat kind of floats and moves back and forth. Easy on the kidneys. Very comfortable.Now that i have seen your video i might buy me a rig Lol.
@@Nathaniel-d3i I got my dad who used to be a truck driver to play this in VR a couple of times and he was amazed how he was able to recognize places he's been in real life. He said it really made him feel like he was there again on the road, only thing he really missed was the lack of motion.
Fun fact: european manual trucks do not float gears. They have syncro's all the way back to the 90s. So before they were all automatic, every gear change we did clutch.
@@bernarddowd6446 sounds like you drive that truck in the us. My point still stands because im living on the other side of the pond ;) Kingdom of Europe
@@philippm.1271 Weird, In the US almost all commercial vehicles are manual, and almost all passenger vehicles are automatic(in urban areas anyway) but it seems you are saying the opposite is true in Europe. I wonder why that is?
Trucking is a skill! To learn...and we have a lot of things to take care of and always be on time. If there was No Trucker's on the roads for just 1 week! Then people will start struggling in their daily lifes.. No Food! NO gas.. No materials for constructions..No Grains from the farmers etc etc etc... So remember People of the world! We just do ore job to provide you with things you need in your life.. Long Live Trucking
Big thanks to all the actual truckers out there that do this for a living day in and day out to put cheap Walmar t-shirts in our closests and food in our stomachs.
As one of the people who built the "ets2-mobile-route-advisor", one of the early ETS2-GPS-in-your-mobile-phone tools, it's nice to see how people still enjoy the game and how people have built much more advanced dashboards.
The house of technology in my little town in sweden got a entire truck converted for Euro Truck simulator inside the building. Everything is connected to the game. Pedals, steering wheel, you name it.
I had a 91 Bonneville sketchily rigged for racing sim. Was going to hook pedals and stuff up. Even got a set of pedals from a manual Audi to use. Other projects took over. When the time comes I'm going to set it up again in a 2000 Bonneville.
Man, i'm 47 and i tried the game without any expectations, not a year later, i have made a Very simple and foldable base for the wheel and pedals, that includes the electronics of a console, truck shifter and everything goes under my desk. 👍🏼 Lots of work but worth every hour spent. 😅😂
Absolutely love this game! Met my ex through it. He was running a VTC (Virtual Trucking Company) and I joined it, we got close and I moved 200 miles to be with him. We're now separated but we had a good 8 years together and split amicably. We still truck together on occasion
As a truck driver and a tech nerd, this was an awesome video! The way you reacted when trying to back into the dock was very similar to how we get when we struggle to back in somewhere. most people can keep it in between the lines on a highway, backing maneuvers are the real test.
It's an amazing game. I read an article in the Guardian about it years ago when they were asking why so many people come home from work to play games about work. It's down to our need to do a job well and we take comfort/find joy when we do.
It's a fantasy. A simulation where you can eliminate the worst parts of your job: 1) You can pause it and just give up if you are tired or bored. 2) no customers
@@LKLM138 In the case of trucking. No waiting for your trailer to load. It is on time, every time. A friend of mine is a real trucker and plays American Truck simulator. He loves almost everything about his real job. ATS takes out the few things he hates. Which is sometimes waiting 3+ hours for your trailer to be ready and deadlock traffic.
I got PC Building Simulator free on Epic a couple years ago back when my job was literally building computers. My dad thought I was nuts to come home from work to play that. I will say the story mode is pretty realistic with the customers getting mad over stupid stuff lol.
Aaaah, after 12 years someone finding the joy in ETS2 still brings joy to me, welcome to the party pal! Genuinely one of the best games ever made I feel, not many games has that "can I try" from literally everybody who sees it even if they never played a game in their life. I know it's promo but nice set up....but go down the ETS rig rabbit hole on YT to see some really wild stuff. :)
I went on a American Truck Simulator rabbit hole earlier this year, and man it has to be like one of the most chill games. You can use a webcam with an app to headtrack while playing, and it works really well.
Im a trucker and ATS is one of my highest play time games. 10 hours on the road, pull off, load up ATS and do another hour or two in it. It is a relaxing game for sure. Get to drive trucks I wouldn't own in RL.
This game and American Truck Simulator are super sneaky addictive. It's like Farming Simulator. You'd think that would be boring, just sitting around in a tractor driving around...then 15+ hours later you're like, I'm hungry, let's stop at the next truck stop 🤣
I love how all the stuff comes together. I however am interested in a Flight-Sim setup for DCS, Star Citizen or Microsoft Fight Sim. Monstertech, VKB, Virpil, etc. A proper setup
I would love to see linus try to fly dcs, but I think it would take too much time for them to set everything up and learn how to fly an aircraft for it to be worth it.
3:30 you made the biggest mistake. Unless you're going for a 70s euro truck feel, that angle is just wrong on every level. Steering wheels in european lorries are close to normal car angles. You tilt it fully up when parked, and tilt it down to a normal angle when driving.
As a long time player of American Truck Sim, I bought it as a joke when it was on sale for like $5, instantly got hooked and started buying cockpit parts. I can't explain it, but it's so addicting.
Same thing with Farming Simulator. Thought it was so stupid for the longest time then it went on sale for 10 bucks or something and thought what the heck it has good reviews. I now have 700 hours into it, lol.
@@andrewt9204 I got so into Farm Sim I started hosting my own server to play on. I've got like 3,000 hours on 22 alone. I find it very therapeutic. Farm Sim 25 releases Nov 12 and you can bet I'll buy it on release.
Absolutely! That’s what I came to comment about. I play it with a quest 2 + Logitech G920 (plus pedals and stick), and it is just so extremely immersive. I tried with triple wide 1080p monitors but it just wasn’t the same. The VR just Lets you ACTUALLY head check before a lane change and whatnot. I genuinely play better with the headset on than if I just use screens.
Once you get it, backing a very long trailer is much easier than backing a short trailer, because it's a lot more stable. Shirt trailers jackknife much faster than semi trailers when reversing.
no it's not more stable it's because it's longer so it does not turn as fast and is not as sensitive to driver inputs. compared to a short trailer that is very snappy and turns quickly meaning you have to stay on top of them and be quick.
ATS with ProMods recently required me to back out an A Double. I quit after almost two hours of trying and failing. BTW Dark Souls is child's play compared to that...
I find shorter more nimble trailers are much faster and easier to reverse with. At least using only mirrors. Sure longer trailers are more stable, but it’s also harder to correct any slight mistakes.
I don't know how I missed this video when it first came out, but as a trucker, this is one of the best vids y'all have put out. I'm not going to say again what the other comments said, but seriously, this was major enjoyment.
I've been playing ETS2 and ATS for over a decade now, and there's always something new to discover in these games. Probably the most chill sim gaming experience. So many hours hauling loads across Europe and western USA. So glad LTT took a dive into the most serious gear to play these games, lol!
As a massive fan of American Truck Sim, ETS2's American brother (literally - it's made by the same developer), it's hilarious seeing him try to figure out how to drive a truck. I've never driven one in real life, but my buddy that drives a 13 speed and an 18 speed for work used my setup and was like "Dude you could drive for real, this is so close to the real thing that you're basically trained already"
Closer to reality than you imagine: Schneider National has been placing ads on the in-game billboards as a recruitment effort, so they're seeing the same effect as your buddy :D Google "American truck simulator companies advertising" for news items mentioning this.
Linus, my mother used to drive the big Blue Bird and International school busses... She had some rather "interesting comments" about the steering ball you're playing with. For a woman who rarely cussed and was happiest driving "the short bus", the comments would have turned your ears blue. She also competed in state bus challenges for her school district, all without the help of that ball you're gripping. I wish she were still around. She would have loved to see this. Sadly between having MS (which stopped her driving school busses) and getting the flu, she passed away almost 20 years ago.
My grandpa had the same opinions on those knobs. I just asked what they did as a kid (had no idea) and he went for like 2 days without speaking to me, very old-school.
@@roowut According to my mom, you can get hung up on them while going into or coming out of a turn, causing you to crash. Same reason you should never cross hands/arms while steering. Proper turning technique is push one side of the steering wheel with one hand and pull the steering wheel with the other in a kind of "Handing off" from one hand to another, keeping both hands on their respective sides of the steering wheel.
3:50 yesterday I got my Vevor variable autotransformer ("variac", but that's a brand name) delivered; 2 years ago they provided a new cutting edge for my skidsteer loader's bucket. Vevor fan here.
I think it's worth a shout out to the devs of ETS2 that all of these modular hardware bits work so well in the game. You can literally have as much or as little equipment/immersion as you can afford, and the game adapts.
i just love the feeling of actually driving a truck, in vr, just cruising away, and the little challenge of delivering the trailer exactly where the customer wants it is a little fun (but difficult using pure mirrors) now, i dont have an entire driving-rig to keep everything together, so to prevent the pedal stand from moving, just reusing some other bars to put between it and the wall. easy fix
Ironically, the stop lines on the road are there generally so vehicles like trucks will be able to make turns at intersections without hitting other stopped vehicles 😆
I have a CDL and while i've never driven a semi truck (i drove busses) I have spent plenty of hours pulling trailers across texas for family. So seeing someone with very little understanding of big trucks and little experience backing large trailers was really fun.
Hell, yeah! Vevor is my jam. Their stuff is just this side of the mid-point on the Usable-Jank spectrum and their prices are low enough allow you to buy "professional" products as a hobbyist. I love that such specific hardware exists for trucking sims.
@@shadowstyle3139 I'd love to see unbiased expert reviews, but I'm pretty sure most of the farm-sim specific joysticks are very low quality, especially the Saitek/Logitech one. I'd love to be shown wrong though. I use VKB gladiators which are not high quality, but the separate x/y gimbal springs make a massive difference over the junk you can buy for $50-$100.
@@netkv Giants has already committed to providing a USB ignition key with the game for 2025, following their USB amber beacon with 2022. Maybe pester them for 2028?
@@shadowstyle3139 I don't want to push against it, but maybe Farming Simulator would be a good opportunity for a joystick roundup? I've heard a lot of the farming-specific joysticks are pretty bad, and my old Saitek Cyborg EVOs were so bad I gave them away when I bought VKB Gladiator EVOs. The main problem with most affordable joysticks is that they share a spring for the X and Y axes. so their return to center behavior is radial toward the center, rather than horizontal and vertical, toward a plus sign, and ultimately the center of the plus sign. If you're into RC, think of a flight radio gimbal as the premium option vs a gamepad, or if you're a farmer, think of how a loader or excavator joystick actually behaves returning from a diagonal. It's not similar to a gamepad thumbstick.
Ideally now that we have the Quest 3, you want to play this game in VR, using the steam launch option -oculus. This allows you to stick your head out of the window as you do a blind reverse bay park. Very fun.. After all, the drop off and pickups are what most of the game is about, as the travel time is cut down to like 10 minutes drives across europe.
10 minutes to cross Europe? I don't think so. Some of the long hauls I do(say England to Poland) take 90 minutes, and that's driving fast as I can go on straight roads with no sleep. I only have one garage with four AI drivers plus me, but I got us all the Volvo with the best stats, so the speed isn't down to truck selection, either(some models totally bite in comparison).
@@jtenorj Yes, because in real life it takes 90 minute to drive across Europe. Just getting out of London to Dover would take 2 hours. What I'm saying is the distances don't match up to real life as a simulator. The time is dramatically shortened. As proven by Linus' expert parking of his trailer in this video, the skills of the simulation are about having a trailer, and for a real life truck driver it's superb practice and having a VR headset in that case just makes it all the more realistic.
American trucker here. All you need now is the ELD 🤣🤣🤣 You know after watching this video, I wish everybody would play this just for a couple of days to understand exactly what we put up with. For a few minutes you sent it like us there on the highway when you were cussing out the other cars to get out of the way 🤣🤣🤣. Come on come on hurry up! 🤣🤣🤣 That late to receiver bs it's just one of the dumb things we have to put up with. Why because sometimes it causes some truck drivers to speed and do reckless stuff to get the load there on time so he doesn't lose money, which is not safe. But for the most part this was spot on. And I really enjoyed you trying to mimic us lol. And if you think backing a European truck is hard, try a traditional US truck with its longer wheelbase😂😂. This was definitely a fun video to watch
Just some pointers. For truck driving, you should have mounted the wheel base backwards and tilted it back, so the wheel gets closer to you. Also, head-tracking works marvellously even with triple monitors.
@@SIMRIG412 of course you can mount it anyway you like, but it's clear that Linus is stretching his back to reach the wheel. Mounting is backwards makes it closer to the chair, and it is how it is mounted with the official table clamp.
Now you need to try ATS (American Truck Simulator) And yes you can shift a 18 wheeler without using the clutch once your moving. The only thing your missing is the head tracking stuff.
I was told by someone recently that you can't actually float clutch on European trucks since their gearboxes are fully synchronised. Also clutch has power assistance. On the other hand in some of those modern Scaniasl, Volvos and Mercedes trucks, shifting (and therefore clutch pedal) is fully optional. Like, it's a manual, but you can do most of the driving in Auto mode.
@@jur4x I used to drive a Volvo F86 that had been built in Europe and exported to USA. It had the only synchronized transmission within a fleet of specialized tanker trucks, where each truck was dedicated to hauling a specific product. It had an 8-speed (repeated H-pattern) behind a non-turbo diesel, with an air-assisted clutch pedal that was very easy to push. There was some kind of interlock that held the shifter in neutral until the clutch pedal was pressed. Even with perfect rev-matching, it wouldn't move into gear from neutral without pressing the clutch. And it required a full clutch press to shift, where the rest of the fleet with non-synchro transmissions engaged the clutch brake on full press, and only a half-press was used for shifting. I drove them all, and it was sometimes confusing to switch from half-press to full press, sometimes switching trucks multiple times per day to haul different products. I would still double-clutch and rev-match downshifts because it could be shifted quicker than waiting on the synchronizers to do their thing. One day the clutch messed up, and it wouldn't fully disengage with the pedal pushed all the way to the floor. This prevented putting it gear while sitting still. I kept driving it to finish the day and save the cost of a tow. I tried to keep rolling because stopping required shutting off the engine before putting it into first gear, then cranking it in gear. Even though the clutch pedal wouldn't release the connection between the engine and transmission, I still had to press the clutch pedal to satisfy the interlock, and then rev-match every shift.
When i got my CDL, during the lot portion, i had to blindside parallel park and blindside offset, it was brutal Would love to see him try Snowrunner in this rig
Also, the FMCSA and signing for your license means that, even when you are down off duty they can 'inspect' your vehicle, including the inside...Searching your vehicle is very easy as if they find even one piss bottle in the open, or any other items that are forbidden (any open container that is visible even if it is out of reach) gives them all the PC they need to proceed to search the vehicle.
It's funny, as a German, I've immediately spotted the traffic signs and realized, Linus is driving on German roads 😂 Nice setup and looks super fun. Now try the same with your VR Headset for much more immersion 😁
This could be just me, but the 2 in the video title sent me looking for the “first video I somehow missed” before I realized it was just the name of the game -,-
This is so funny to see if you know how a truck really works😂 A truck drives away in its 4th gear and then shifts up in steps of 2. Linus, if you are ever in the Netherlands, you can come along for a day!
Totally depends on how heavy you are... I'm assuming European trucks shift the same way as American trucks depending if you have an 8 speed a 10 speed a 12 speed a 15 or an 18... And you're not skipping gears if you're 80,000 pounds. Unless you're an 18th speed.
I have moza truck wheel and my reaction to honking was the same, "WHERE'S THE HORN!?". Why Moza would ever consider putting the horn on the SIDE with a SMALL BUTTON is beyond my understanding. When turning the wheel, there is no way in hell you are gonna hit that button. If Moza reps read this: PUT THE HORN IN THE MIDDLE FOR CHRIST SAKE!!!.
Damn was not expecting Moza to sponsor a LTT vid! But honestly, Moza is great, I started with their R5 when it first came out, then swapped the wheel to the RSv2 and then to the TSW, I often swap between the two, but the quality and reliability so far has been really good! Would definitely recommend
Stay on the road Linus. Jesus. I'm a trucker irl and I also play the game a lot. And it's so fun to see other people try it that have no idea how or what to do anything.
As someone who plays American Trucks Sim (same makers of Euro Truck), this is such a cool build! All I use is an XBOX controller, haha. And to see you get into some gameplay in the final third of the video, that was cool. The game is a relaxing game, the game is so immersive. What I need to do myself is enable the in-game radio feature. What it does is the game taps into your recorded stuff on your desktop. For example I could save audio of songs or podcasts, so I could listen to LTT WAN Show a few days later, but in my truck while I'm making a delivery! At least that's my understanding of it; I only have 46.1 hours of game time in American Truck Sim...I have a lot to learn and experience in the game still! Also, backing up in a truck is also my biggest struggle too! It takes forever, lol 🤣🤣
Fellow controller player here. Honestly a good controller can already make the game feel so much better than on keyboard and mouse. Sure a steering wheel is the ideal, but that took some setup and prep to do, unless you have a separate rig for just driving sim. A controller is plug and play.
17:52 US trucking folk maybe rev matching and jumping gears, but for us Euro trucking folk it's fully synchronized and either automated manual or true automatic boxes (those do jump gears too). afaik only construction side/work trucks (mud jobs) are preferred with conventional manual boxes, because better control and ease of rocking the rig out in a pinch
@16:11 Is that a partially completed penguin tattoo on the bicep? The trucker tattoo artists ran out to grab some more meth half way through and never came back? 😅😂
Every time I watch a video of a fun sim rig like this, it reminds me why I must never allow myself to get too deep into sim games. I'll never be able to force myself to stop at a "good enough" setup.
I just hop on euro truck after a long day and just drive, as that's what I like to do. I don't have a good sim setup, just a wheel with pedals + gear shifter. Still love it.
about the shifting thing where truckers dont use clutch that only applies for american trucks since their gearboxes dont have synchros from my understanding unlike the euro trucks which have so you shift the euro trucks like a normal car as suppose to an american truck where you can "float" (shifting without clutching) gears
The euro truck I've driven a while ago had a gear preselector (just a small handle you move forwards and backwards). After selecting the gear (which was recommended) you just pressed the clutch and released it again. But automatic still getting more and more popular.
yup. most american truckers don't even think you can install a syncro on a semi truck. the US trucks are all just in the stone ages compared to european ones which have had much more innovation and technology put in. European trucks even kind of solved the braking problem that trucks use to be famous for and still are famous for in the US. you know the whole BS of how hard it is to stop a truck. here the truck compensates for the weight you have and adjusts brake pressure accordingly to maximise braking performance even under the heaviest of loads.
@@icefox13 of course automatic is getting more popular, for one driving in cities is getting more exhausting every year, more traffic lights, more speed regulations, more traffic in general, and the quality of gear boxes is decreasing as well
@@savagememes873 As a european who's dad is a truck driver i do know about this and to me even more incredible is how fast a truck can stop from 90 to 0 obviously its not the most pleasant thing to experience (probably) but its still incredible that these things can stop on a dime even at 44 tones
Not sure if they still do, but at least a few years ago SISU had the non-synchro Fuller manual as an option. Not exactly common though and mostly used on tippers and timber trucks afaik.
That actually looks really fun. If I had the room I would totally want to setup a "driving room" which would be a rig like this setup for any sort of driving games.
Can we come over to have a try? 🥺 What a setup!

One of the reasons the game is still popular is that SCS Software engages their users, keeps the game updated and constantly updates the maps (for free), as well as provides new DLC maps on a regular basis to expand the world. They license real trucks and trailers, and have great cooperation with these companies to make them as authentic as possible. The game also has a huge modding base. But at it's heart, it's the experience of driving a big truck around Europe, and it's incredibly immersive.
If you'd rather drive an American big rig on the Interstate, American Truck Simulator is equally as good, and are expanding the maps constantly (going west to east, they're up to Nebraska)
This is literally trucker origins. I bet that’s why their so good in real life too lol
yeah but if u compare how many players play ETS2 and ATS on steamdb then u can guess which of booth games still gets much more "love"
I originally bought the game because of the music track in the original game trailer. It had a sick beat and I was kind of hoping for similar music in-game, which would have made it an awesome sim game. The game itself is actually BYOM (bring your own music) rather than playing cool licensed tracks. The cities are kind of a joke.

Just a tip from a 7 year trucker. Currently hauling jet fuel.
The only thing I’ll gripe about (I’m holding back, lol) is the brakes aren’t “backwards.” Push to release, pull to apply the brakes.
Also, when backing. Hold your hands at “9 and 3” and lift the hand that you want the trailer to move to. Want the trailer to move left? Lift your left hand. Shorter the wheelbase, the more twitchy the trailer will be. This also works better when you don’t have the wheel in an exaggeratedly flat position like you guys did, haha. I’d say normal is about 45° or less.
Keep on truckin’.
Do you know of any back of the trucks I might be able to find jet fuel fall off of for a lesser price than the jet fuel would be if it didn’t fall off the back of a truck?
Asking for a friend
@@notatypobrutha I heard from a friend that after every load I.. They have about 2-3 gallons left over in the piping and either it gets dumped at the rack where you get the fuel when you get back or I.. They can put it in their diesel tank on their truck. But other than that I.. They probably wouldn’t want to lose their job slingin’ jet fuel.

As a truck driver and a computer nerd. This was a fun watch. And yes, the longer the distance from the 5th wheel, to the trailers axles, the longer it takes to respond to your steering inputs. I can back a 53' into a tight spot easier than a 12 foot landscape trailer.

I was playing and showed him the game... "dude you want to drive trucks and drink 40s?" And so we did... after a few hours there were 3 or 4 of us building a trucking empire... drinking 40s, flipping trucks, running stoplights, failing to back up trailers... having a good time...

Been a receiving forklift driver for 10 years. The longest I've seen a truck take to back in was a Swift driver who took 45 minutes. We have a very large lot with lots of room to maneuver. We occasionally get new truckers who take 10-20 minutes, but it was quite something to watch a truck go back and forth for 45 minutes.
You can be the best highway driver on the road, but if you can't back, you aren't a real driver yet lol.
A _SWIFT_ trucker. The usual suspect. That company is a meme already known world wide.
well, hopefully you got a free lunch break out of the deal
Lol I meet with them tomorrow......
Did receiving at a grocery store for a few years. One driver took over 1.5 hours to back in, after 15 minutes I stopped waiting and went about the rest of my work. When the bell finally rang at the backdoor I had totally forgot there was a truck out there LOL. Had loss prevention check the camera and according to them it was quite s**t show. For reference a soso driver takes about 5 to 10 minutes and a good driver takes less then 5 to back into any of our 3 docks.
European trucking facts: actually virtually all modern trucks in Europe are on automatic transmission (for EU people: in the US they literally almost always use manual which is an interesting contrast to cars). Oh and typically there's a 90 kph (~56 mph) limiter (for EU viewers, in the US trucks can go as fast as 110 km/h on interstate and more, basically just like cars). Also, the parking brake in EU trucks is typically a small handle or a button sort of similar to what you'd find in a car, not a standardized yellow colored pull/push thingy like on US trucks.
US trucker here. One thing I would like to point out is that most big fleets have switched to automatic transmissions as it makes getting a CDL easier for the driver, better fuel mileage even for new drivers, and less fatigue in stop and go city traffic.
Owner-Operators, Drivers who own their own truck and pick jobs up either from a brokerage service or have contracts between them and another company. They on average will have manual transmissions still but this is slowly starting to change as the reliability and fuel efficiency of automatics have improved over the decades.
@@Hybris51129 I'm one of the purists that can't stand the autos. Current rig is a '24 Pete with a manual cause my employer wanted to bribe me into staying longer lol (I have a paid-off truck sitting at home and they know that)
@@Redbikemaster I hate the autos.
@@bernarddowd6446 dude same. They've gotten a bit better but my first 3 years in this career were on auto. Learning to back into a dock with an auto before they implemented the "creeping" feature (where they act like a car and creep forward when you let off the brake) was A PAIN.
Also had a 2017 Freightliner that had a sensor die somewhere and it was stuck in manual mode for 3 weeks with no traction or stability control. Thankfully it was summer, but manually whacking the shift stick every single gear change was so annoying because it had like a 2 second lag.
European trucks generally have automated transmissions, although you can get some with an automatic transmission as an option, mainly for local distribution.
Trucker fun facts:
1. It is VERY hard to stall, you dont use the throttle while letting out of the clutch. Even on hills.
2. The pee jug thing is actually pretty common
3. Police dont need a reason to pull you over, they can literally decide to just pull over blue trucks because its Tuesday.
4. Generally speaking, we can only be inspected/cited by state certified police, which is pretty much only state police, so if you see a sherriff ignoring a speeding truck, its because he cant do much.
5. When using an engine brake, the truck engine doesnt burn fuel, so technically the engine isnt running while theyre activated.
6. Truck brakes have springs that keep the brakes applied, they need air to push back on the springs to release, and another flow of air to push against THAT supply to brake. So if an air system fails on a truck, all of the brakes are set. No air = no move.
7. Seriously we pee in pop bottles sometimes
8. Typical truck transmissions have 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, or 18 gears.
9. Truck tires are typically inflated to 105 to 110psi
10. Semi trucks routinely achieve 1 million miles, some well over 2 million.
actually police do need a reason to stop you. they do not have the right to stop anyone just because they feel like it. they still have to have some form of reason for doing so otherwise it's classed as harassment. but they don't need much like they can make up some BS but still technically they have to have a reason for stopping you. and you forgot the most common amount of gears which is 12. :)
@savagememes873 Fmcsa says no cause, they can stop you at random, they can even do it while you're parked! Most common is a 10 speed, most common automatic is a 12.
i need more facts
@@savagememes873For a truck they can inspect you mechanically without any reasons, so they can stop you at any time anywhere
@@sefii05i have a 12 speed. 🤫 Automatic buts its still a manual transmission with a cluch. You usually shift around 1600rpm. Engine brake is up to 2000rpm (2200 on some engine)
They are all 12-13-14 litres inline 6 cylinders 400 to 600hp with 1300 to 1800 torque (you can tune and all that to whatever but those are mostly stock numbers)

I was watching them adjust the wheel angle little do they know that's the position you put it in when your eating and then unlock the wheel and put it in a more normal angle
Some real life Euro Truck Sim fun:
- Use the pedal shifters for your turn signals. You dont use the pedals anyway. Game Changer, as the young kids say.
- It is really hard to stall a truck
- Configure the ingame radio with real (online) stations, or just use any online radio you feel like.
- European trucks do use automatic gearboxes since the dawn of time in the 2000s but it is sometimes fun to use the H-Shifter and try to revmatching floating gearchanges.
or use normal radio for the ultimate noisyness of sound quality
Speaking of rev matching floating gear changes, when I was a teenager I had a car whose clutch pedal went out and I continued driving it for several weeks before I got it fixed by doing just that. Fortunately the transmission had some kind of mechanism to automatically speed match both sides of the clutch pad, so it was surprisingly easy to drive without a working clutch pedal.
@@dennisestenson7820 That's called a syncro mesh gearbox. It's why you don't need to speed match in a car when shifting, while you still do in a truck even using the clutch.
He's constantly stalling because he damaged the engine when he intentionally sideswiped that tanker, lol
european trucks also use synchromesh manual transmissions since like a bit earlier than 2000s? anyway in scanias or volvos if you opt for a manual it's just like the one in a car (same for zf transmissions in most other trucks) just with a range and splitter

@@MannyBrum Regarding not sleeping, not if you turn of the fatigue thing(or whatever it is that requires you to stop and sleep or eat or whatever). Less realistic, but jobs get done faster.
18:02 its called floating gears.
We only use the clutch to start.
They also have a two-stage clutch.
All the way down engage a clutch break, that lets you get it in a gear. Then take it half way up and now its just a normal clutch.
So don't hold the clutch to the floor on a big truck.
Use it to get in gear then go up halfway.
You generally use the clutch on a manual Euro truck as they are synchromesh transmissions.
As both a computer builder and an automotive fitter in the heavy vehicle sector, it was hilarious watching a bunch of pc tech guys ponder over the weight adjustable seat base like cavemen discovering a new stronger and better type of rock.
As a warehouse worker I can confirm we DO regularly see truckers who are terrible at backing in, and we DO make fun of them. Oddly enough these days they tend to be trucks from Canada, our best guess is the trucker strikes up there led to a bunch of new drivers getting railroaded through training without a lot of behind the wheel time.
Also I once had an honest to God cowboy trucker show up like he was a character in that 18 Wheeler arcade game from back in the day. He had the hat, duster, boots with the spurs, six shooter, the works. That dude rocked.

Canadian truck mechanic here, not a driver but do hear enough rumor about the industry. The test to acquire an A-class license (CDL for the Americans) have been substantially dumb downed over the past few years. And we have a huge influx of people from certain countries taking up driving as a career. To say it as nice as possible: not a lot of them change their driving habit after moving out of their country of birth leading to much frustration for everyone else on the road.
@Rayden440 I have also noticed that they definitely aren't native to Canada. They don't really speak English or French well so it's kind of a pain to deal with them down here. Still the main issue is them taking a half hour to back in when their trailers already take an hour and a half to unload, we'll have trucks lined up around the block waiting for them and we'll have to skip breaks to get them all dealt with.

It's a fantasy. A simulation where you can eliminate the worst parts of your job: 1) You can pause it and just give up if you are tired or bored. 2) no customers
@@LKLM138 In the case of trucking. No waiting for your trailer to load. It is on time, every time. A friend of mine is a real trucker and plays American Truck simulator. He loves almost everything about his real job. ATS takes out the few things he hates. Which is sometimes waiting 3+ hours for your trailer to be ready and deadlock traffic.
I got PC Building Simulator free on Epic a couple years ago back when my job was literally building computers. My dad thought I was nuts to come home from work to play that. I will say the story mode is pretty realistic with the customers getting mad over stupid stuff lol.
As someone who's been working this for real for the past 4 years.. I can't imagine myself coming back after work... and working some more lmao
@@gregortheoverlander4122 I've literally parked my rig then fired up ATS in the sleeper before to play online with friends.
Aaaah, after 12 years someone finding the joy in ETS2 still brings joy to me, welcome to the party pal! Genuinely one of the best games ever made I feel, not many games has that "can I try" from literally everybody who sees it even if they never played a game in their life.
I know it's promo but nice set up....but go down the ETS rig rabbit hole on YT to see some really wild stuff. :)
I went on a American Truck Simulator rabbit hole earlier this year, and man it has to be like one of the most chill games.
You can use a webcam with an app to headtrack while playing, and it works really well.
No way really, what was the app
@@petermacken6600 aitrack and opentrack found on github
@@petermacken6600 i use open track
Im a trucker and ATS is one of my highest play time games. 10 hours on the road, pull off, load up ATS and do another hour or two in it. It is a relaxing game for sure. Get to drive trucks I wouldn't own in RL.
@@petermacken6600 Opentrack, I guess
This game and American Truck Simulator are super sneaky addictive. It's like Farming Simulator. You'd think that would be boring, just sitting around in a tractor driving around...then 15+ hours later you're like, I'm hungry, let's stop at the next truck stop 🤣
I love how all the stuff comes together. I however am interested in a Flight-Sim setup for DCS, Star Citizen or Microsoft Fight Sim.
Monstertech, VKB, Virpil, etc. A proper setup
Dcs. He need to read documentation first 😂
And for the love of God, included head tracking
I would love to see linus try to fly dcs, but I think it would take too much time for them to set everything up and learn how to fly an aircraft for it to be worth it.
@@IgniVellex i mean they could do flaming cliffs 3 i spose
3:30 you made the biggest mistake. Unless you're going for a 70s euro truck feel, that angle is just wrong on every level. Steering wheels in european lorries are close to normal car angles. You tilt it fully up when parked, and tilt it down to a normal angle when driving.
As a long time player of American Truck Sim, I bought it as a joke when it was on sale for like $5, instantly got hooked and started buying cockpit parts. I can't explain it, but it's so addicting.
Same thing with Farming Simulator. Thought it was so stupid for the longest time then it went on sale for 10 bucks or something and thought what the heck it has good reviews. I now have 700 hours into it, lol.
@@andrewt9204 I got so into Farm Sim I started hosting my own server to play on. I've got like 3,000 hours on 22 alone. I find it very therapeutic. Farm Sim 25 releases Nov 12 and you can bet I'll buy it on release.
This game in VR is a real blast.
It's amazing so you can simulate having a real job from the comfort of your home and never have to leave!. /s
Can confirm. I've played AmTruckSim in VR and it's amazing
Oh I have to go try that now! I have the Quest 3 but don't use it enough.
Absolutely! That’s what I came to comment about. I play it with a quest 2 + Logitech G920 (plus pedals and stick), and it is just so extremely immersive. I tried with triple wide 1080p monitors but it just wasn’t the same. The VR just Lets you ACTUALLY head check before a lane change and whatnot. I genuinely play better with the headset on than if I just use screens.
@@notme222 if you have a wheel its even better! there is also an extra TAA mod to fix jagged lines. enjoy
Once you get it, backing a very long trailer is much easier than backing a short trailer, because it's a lot more stable. Shirt trailers jackknife much faster than semi trailers when reversing.
no it's not more stable it's because it's longer so it does not turn as fast and is not as sensitive to driver inputs. compared to a short trailer that is very snappy and turns quickly meaning you have to stay on top of them and be quick.
@@savagememes873 its more stable because its longer dude, dont try to sound smart, you just repeated what he said.
ATS with ProMods recently required me to back out an A Double. I quit after almost two hours of trying and failing.
BTW Dark Souls is child's play compared to that...
@@StefanBacon bro, im on your side.
I find shorter more nimble trailers are much faster and easier to reverse with. At least using only mirrors. Sure longer trailers are more stable, but it’s also harder to correct any slight mistakes.
20:52 I felt that in my truck driver heart.
18:20 definitely a missed opportunity to not suspend an airhorn above linus with a string to pull on.
Linus Trucker Tips 💪🚛
12:13
No idea why but that "Haha you lost 80 f*ckin Euros" got me 😂😂😂😂
I don't know how I missed this video when it first came out, but as a trucker, this is one of the best vids y'all have put out. I'm not going to say again what the other comments said, but seriously, this was major enjoyment.
I've been playing ETS2 and ATS for over a decade now, and there's always something new to discover in these games. Probably the most chill sim gaming experience.
So many hours hauling loads across Europe and western USA. So glad LTT took a dive into the most serious gear to play these games, lol!
As a massive fan of American Truck Sim, ETS2's American brother (literally - it's made by the same developer), it's hilarious seeing him try to figure out how to drive a truck. I've never driven one in real life, but my buddy that drives a 13 speed and an 18 speed for work used my setup and was like "Dude you could drive for real, this is so close to the real thing that you're basically trained already"
Closer to reality than you imagine: Schneider National has been placing ads on the in-game billboards as a recruitment effort, so they're seeing the same effect as your buddy :D
Google "American truck simulator companies advertising" for news items mentioning this.
"Squirrel" is a sim trucker and he was invited by Scania to do a "testing day" with them and he passed literally everything with flying colors.
Linus, my mother used to drive the big Blue Bird and International school busses... She had some rather "interesting comments" about the steering ball you're playing with. For a woman who rarely cussed and was happiest driving "the short bus", the comments would have turned your ears blue. She also competed in state bus challenges for her school district, all without the help of that ball you're gripping.
I wish she were still around. She would have loved to see this. Sadly between having MS (which stopped her driving school busses) and getting the flu, she passed away almost 20 years ago.
They're not called a "suicide knob" for nothing.
My grandpa had the same opinions on those knobs. I just asked what they did as a kid (had no idea) and he went for like 2 days without speaking to me, very old-school.
Steering with the knob is way better.
wait what’s wrong with them
@@roowut According to my mom, you can get hung up on them while going into or coming out of a turn, causing you to crash. Same reason you should never cross hands/arms while steering.
Proper turning technique is push one side of the steering wheel with one hand and pull the steering wheel with the other in a kind of "Handing off" from one hand to another, keeping both hands on their respective sides of the steering wheel.
3:50 yesterday I got my Vevor variable autotransformer ("variac", but that's a brand name) delivered; 2 years ago they provided a new cutting edge for my skidsteer loader's bucket.
Vevor fan here.
I think it's worth a shout out to the devs of ETS2 that all of these modular hardware bits work so well in the game. You can literally have as much or as little equipment/immersion as you can afford, and the game adapts.
i just love the feeling of actually driving a truck, in vr, just cruising away, and the little challenge of delivering the trailer exactly where the customer wants it is a little fun (but difficult using pure mirrors)
now, i dont have an entire driving-rig to keep everything together, so to prevent the pedal stand from moving, just reusing some other bars to put between it and the wall. easy fix
Jakes budget limit should be raised. He has brains and knows what good content is. He shouldnt need supervision on budets for epic videos!
Ironically, the stop lines on the road are there generally so vehicles like trucks will be able to make turns at intersections without hitting other stopped vehicles 😆
Jake will get a new free upgrade for his sim at home 😂😂😂 love you Jakey
I have a CDL and while i've never driven a semi truck (i drove busses) I have spent plenty of hours pulling trailers across texas for family. So seeing someone with very little understanding of big trucks and little experience backing large trailers was really fun.
Hell, yeah! Vevor is my jam. Their stuff is just this side of the mid-point on the Usable-Jank spectrum and their prices are low enough allow you to buy "professional" products as a hobbyist.
I love that such specific hardware exists for trucking sims.
90 degrees on a steering wheel placement is wild 😂
0:37 Wait Linus is kinda jacked
Jack ?, he has a dad bod going on😂
Came to comment this, Linus Flex Tips 😂😂 people do not notice that perfect bicep pump
He is really lean.

This is the Farming Simulator adjacent content we've all been waiting for.
hoping that we get a farm sim setup with that logitech farming module kit
@@shadowstyle3139 I'd love to see unbiased expert reviews, but I'm pretty sure most of the farm-sim specific joysticks are very low quality, especially the Saitek/Logitech one. I'd love to be shown wrong though. I use VKB gladiators which are not high quality, but the separate x/y gimbal springs make a massive difference over the junk you can buy for $50-$100.
usb pitchfork controller
@@netkv Giants has already committed to providing a USB ignition key with the game for 2025, following their USB amber beacon with 2022. Maybe pester them for 2028?
@@shadowstyle3139 I don't want to push against it, but maybe Farming Simulator would be a good opportunity for a joystick roundup? I've heard a lot of the farming-specific joysticks are pretty bad, and my old Saitek Cyborg EVOs were so bad I gave them away when I bought VKB Gladiator EVOs. The main problem with most affordable joysticks is that they share a spring for the X and Y axes. so their return to center behavior is radial toward the center, rather than horizontal and vertical, toward a plus sign, and ultimately the center of the plus sign. If you're into RC, think of a flight radio gimbal as the premium option vs a gamepad, or if you're a farmer, think of how a loader or excavator joystick actually behaves returning from a diagonal. It's not similar to a gamepad thumbstick.
Wheel and VR makes ETS2 so much better because you can just turn your head when making turns to check for traffic. So much better.
Ideally now that we have the Quest 3, you want to play this game in VR, using the steam launch option -oculus. This allows you to stick your head out of the window as you do a blind reverse bay park. Very fun.. After all, the drop off and pickups are what most of the game is about, as the travel time is cut down to like 10 minutes drives across europe.
10 minutes to cross Europe? I don't think so. Some of the long hauls I do(say England to Poland) take 90 minutes, and that's driving fast as I can go on straight roads with no sleep. I only have one garage with four AI drivers plus me, but I got us all the Volvo with the best stats, so the speed isn't down to truck selection, either(some models totally bite in comparison).
@@jtenorj Yes, because in real life it takes 90 minute to drive across Europe. Just getting out of London to Dover would take 2 hours. What I'm saying is the distances don't match up to real life as a simulator. The time is dramatically shortened.
As proven by Linus' expert parking of his trailer in this video, the skills of the simulation are about having a trailer, and for a real life truck driver it's superb practice and having a VR headset in that case just makes it all the more realistic.
17:02 actually Linus is correct, you pull the yellow diamond to engage parking brakes. You have it configured incorrectly.
16:02 to quote a legend Ray, “it’s the way of the road”
American trucker here. All you need now is the ELD 🤣🤣🤣
You know after watching this video, I wish everybody would play this just for a couple of days to understand exactly what we put up with. For a few minutes you sent it like us there on the highway when you were cussing out the other cars to get out of the way 🤣🤣🤣. Come on come on hurry up! 🤣🤣🤣 That late to receiver bs it's just one of the dumb things we have to put up with. Why because sometimes it causes some truck drivers to speed and do reckless stuff to get the load there on time so he doesn't lose money, which is not safe. But for the most part this was spot on. And I really enjoyed you trying to mimic us lol. And if you think backing a European truck is hard, try a traditional US truck with its longer wheelbase😂😂. This was definitely a fun video to watch
I can totally see Jake smiling bc he knew the seat was under his purchasing approval limit! CLASSIC JAKE!
Just some pointers. For truck driving, you should have mounted the wheel base backwards and tilted it back, so the wheel gets closer to you. Also, head-tracking works marvellously even with triple monitors.
You don’t need to mount it like you said! All depends on your actual rig.
@@SIMRIG412 of course you can mount it anyway you like, but it's clear that Linus is stretching his back to reach the wheel. Mounting is backwards makes it closer to the chair, and it is how it is mounted with the official table clamp.
Now you need to try ATS (American Truck Simulator) And yes you can shift a 18 wheeler without using the clutch once your moving. The only thing your missing is the head tracking stuff.
I was 100% expecting the head tracking (part 2 on Jake's budget?)
No need for head tracking when you have triple screen
I was told by someone recently that you can't actually float clutch on European trucks since their gearboxes are fully synchronised. Also clutch has power assistance.
On the other hand in some of those modern Scaniasl, Volvos and Mercedes trucks, shifting (and therefore clutch pedal) is fully optional. Like, it's a manual, but you can do most of the driving in Auto mode.
@@jur4x I used to drive a Volvo F86 that had been built in Europe and exported to USA. It had the only synchronized transmission within a fleet of specialized tanker trucks, where each truck was dedicated to hauling a specific product. It had an 8-speed (repeated H-pattern) behind a non-turbo diesel, with an air-assisted clutch pedal that was very easy to push. There was some kind of interlock that held the shifter in neutral until the clutch pedal was pressed. Even with perfect rev-matching, it wouldn't move into gear from neutral without pressing the clutch. And it required a full clutch press to shift, where the rest of the fleet with non-synchro transmissions engaged the clutch brake on full press, and only a half-press was used for shifting. I drove them all, and it was sometimes confusing to switch from half-press to full press, sometimes switching trucks multiple times per day to haul different products.
I would still double-clutch and rev-match downshifts because it could be shifted quicker than waiting on the synchronizers to do their thing.
One day the clutch messed up, and it wouldn't fully disengage with the pedal pushed all the way to the floor. This prevented putting it gear while sitting still. I kept driving it to finish the day and save the cost of a tow. I tried to keep rolling because stopping required shutting off the engine before putting it into first gear, then cranking it in gear. Even though the clutch pedal wouldn't release the connection between the engine and transmission, I still had to press the clutch pedal to satisfy the interlock, and then rev-match every shift.
When i got my CDL, during the lot portion, i had to blindside parallel park and blindside offset, it was brutal
Would love to see him try Snowrunner in this rig
Also, the FMCSA and signing for your license means that, even when you are down off duty they can 'inspect' your vehicle, including the inside...Searching your vehicle is very easy as if they find even one piss bottle in the open, or any other items that are forbidden (any open container that is visible even if it is out of reach) gives them all the PC they need to proceed to search the vehicle.
8:02 omg they finally let us out of the storage cupboard
What y'all doing in the depths of the comments section lol
It's funny, as a German, I've immediately spotted the traffic signs and realized, Linus is driving on German roads 😂 Nice setup and looks super fun.
Now try the same with your VR Headset for much more immersion 😁
This could be just me, but the 2 in the video title sent me looking for the “first video I somehow missed” before I realized it was just the name of the game -,-
I vividly remember some people asking for the predecessor of Il-2 Sturmovik back in the day... or when Il-3 is going to be released XD
This is so funny to see if you know how a truck really works😂 A truck drives away in its 4th gear and then shifts up in steps of 2. Linus, if you are ever in the Netherlands, you can come along for a day!
Totally depends on how heavy you are... I'm assuming European trucks shift the same way as American trucks depending if you have an 8 speed a 10 speed a 12 speed a 15 or an 18... And you're not skipping gears if you're 80,000 pounds. Unless you're an 18th speed.
I have moza truck wheel and my reaction to honking was the same, "WHERE'S THE HORN!?".
Why Moza would ever consider putting the horn on the SIDE with a SMALL BUTTON is beyond my understanding. When turning the wheel, there is no way in hell you are gonna hit that button. If Moza reps read this: PUT THE HORN IN THE MIDDLE FOR CHRIST SAKE!!!.
As a regular player os ATS/ETS I gottta say, this was a ton of fun to watch, especially the parking struggle at the end 🤣🤣
Damn was not expecting Moza to sponsor a LTT vid! But honestly, Moza is great, I started with their R5 when it first came out, then swapped the wheel to the RSv2 and then to the TSW, I often swap between the two, but the quality and reliability so far has been really good! Would definitely recommend
they were in a video with "random stuff" a few months ago, and i guess Moza's recent success + LTT guys liking it caused the sponsoring LOL
@@schtormmmakes sense
"Editor" is f*cking savage on this one lol. Love it
What I learned: Never let Linus go on the Autobahn.
Stay on the road Linus. Jesus. I'm a trucker irl and I also play the game a lot. And it's so fun to see other people try it that have no idea how or what to do anything.
That looks like fun . Only if I could play the song “Dupe - Kontrolla” in that also 😮😮
It has build in radio with real stations, or you can just copy your own music to a specific folder and play them in the game.
@@Voxator I just have Spotify running in the background
As someone who plays American Trucks Sim (same makers of Euro Truck), this is such a cool build! All I use is an XBOX controller, haha. And to see you get into some gameplay in the final third of the video, that was cool. The game is a relaxing game, the game is so immersive. What I need to do myself is enable the in-game radio feature. What it does is the game taps into your recorded stuff on your desktop. For example I could save audio of songs or podcasts, so I could listen to LTT WAN Show a few days later, but in my truck while I'm making a delivery! At least that's my understanding of it; I only have 46.1 hours of game time in American Truck Sim...I have a lot to learn and experience in the game still! Also, backing up in a truck is also my biggest struggle too! It takes forever, lol 🤣🤣
using steering wheel to play ATS is whole another level
@@vpstateofmind Ikr? One day I'm gonna get a steering wheel, then I'd be able to experience the game in a brand new way.
It's my go to to chill if I'm stressed. Stick on some tunes and transport some gravel from Norway to Spain - yes I did a job like that once. 😂
Fellow controller player here. Honestly a good controller can already make the game feel so much better than on keyboard and mouse. Sure a steering wheel is the ideal, but that took some setup and prep to do, unless you have a separate rig for just driving sim. A controller is plug and play.
@@karkovb1522 Yeah, I really love playing on my Xbox controller on my PC. Works extremely well.
I'm thinking Jake is gonna pinch that wheel quicker than you can say.. Segway

US trucking folk maybe rev matching and jumping gears, but for us Euro trucking folk it's fully synchronized and either automated manual or true automatic boxes (those do jump gears too).
afaik only construction side/work trucks (mud jobs) are preferred with conventional manual boxes, because better control and ease of rocking the rig out in a pinch

17:31 ... yep, that was me... now Im 1700 hours in.
Every time I watch a video of a fun sim rig like this, it reminds me why I must never allow myself to get too deep into sim games. I'll never be able to force myself to stop at a "good enough" setup.
I just hop on euro truck after a long day and just drive, as that's what I like to do. I don't have a good sim setup, just a wheel with pedals + gear shifter. Still love it.
after 10 hours in a truck, i come home and play farming simulator lol. still need to get the adaptor bracket and side panel.
about the shifting thing where truckers dont use clutch that only applies for american trucks since their gearboxes dont have synchros from my understanding unlike the euro trucks which have so you shift the euro trucks like a normal car as suppose to an american truck where you can "float" (shifting without clutching) gears
The euro truck I've driven a while ago had a gear preselector (just a small handle you move forwards and backwards). After selecting the gear (which was recommended) you just pressed the clutch and released it again. But automatic still getting more and more popular.
yup. most american truckers don't even think you can install a syncro on a semi truck. the US trucks are all just in the stone ages compared to european ones which have had much more innovation and technology put in. European trucks even kind of solved the braking problem that trucks use to be famous for and still are famous for in the US. you know the whole BS of how hard it is to stop a truck. here the truck compensates for the weight you have and adjusts brake pressure accordingly to maximise braking performance even under the heaviest of loads.
@@icefox13 of course automatic is getting more popular, for one driving in cities is getting more exhausting every year, more traffic lights, more speed regulations, more traffic in general, and the quality of gear boxes is decreasing as well
@@savagememes873 As a european who's dad is a truck driver i do know about this and to me even more incredible is how fast a truck can stop from 90 to 0 obviously its not the most pleasant thing to experience (probably) but its still incredible that these things can stop on a dime even at 44 tones
Not sure if they still do, but at least a few years ago SISU had the non-synchro Fuller manual as an option. Not exactly common though and mostly used on tippers and timber trucks afaik.
The craziest thing, that 12:42 is faster than some real truck drivers take to back a trailer in....
Can u rly call them real truck drivers if they take even longer than that? : D
That actually looks really fun. If I had the room I would totally want to setup a "driving room" which would be a rig like this setup for any sort of driving games.
