ETS2 | London Bound! | Promods | Euro Truck Simulator 2 | Career Gameplay | Episode 4
I always love the arguments for driving on the left. England is one of very few places who still do it, yet they pick on the USA for being one of the few places who still don't use metric....lol. We all have our quirks. From what I can pick up the reason for the Part time traffic light sign is to let people know it's off by design not due to damage. We don't have anything comparable in the US, as you say we just shut them off and let people figure it out. Good job on the parking, the first time you just overcorrected a bit. Another fun video. Blessings
Yeah, non-metric is just weird, but so many industries a founded on it, things like construction. But I cringe every time I have to figure out whether a counter is 5/8" or 7/16". :) ~ I'm a little baffled that we don't have a common name for a traffic light that is only functional for part of a day. I mean, I think you're right that we just expect people to figure it out, or perhaps Americans just default to "lights out, I don't need to pay attention to it". But I still think they'd have a name. :)
I think you'll find that's more Europe. In UK we still use a mix of imperial and metric. Our speed limits mph. Many of us still use Feet and inches. We still weigh ourselves in Stones, pounds and ounces.
@@cardboardgeek Stones is not used in the US, the first time I heard the term I was completely baffled.
@@NerdyNanaSimulations Stones is merely 14 pounds :)
Stones a cool. I've always wanted to lose weight in England. "Drop a stone". :)
Nice turn! And yeah, the European trucks are certainly more nimble. I'll have to check out the mod because those pictures were awesome
Thanks! The mod is called something like "No Camera Limit". Works great, and it's so nice to be able to zoom farther out to take photos in some places.
Hi Mike welcome to the UK. Part time traffic lights are used during peak traffic times
Makes sense, thanks! We have lights on highway ramps that are used at rush hour times. We call them Ramp Meters. I guess I find it odd that we don't have a general term for lights that aren't always functioning. Seems useful. :)
ProMods completely rebuilt London from the ground up. It feels much more like London now than it does in the default game.
That's probably why I didn't recognize it. I remember driving through it in the base game and not thinking it was anything special.
The promap mod is incorrect there is no ferry connection from Uk to the Faroe Islands. To do the route the real world version from Edinburgh United Kingdom to Reykjavik Iceland you would have to do this:
Take the A1 south through Newcastle upon Tyne and pass Leeds Sheffield and Peterborough then A14 to M11 through Cambridge then south on M25 cross the river Thames at Dartford crossing on A282/M25 then M20 south to the Chunnel and pass Calais on A16 A16 become E40 at Ghyvedle at Belgium France border E17 east at Ghent Ring 1 to bypass Antwerp to E313 to E34 which becomes A67 in Netherlands which becomes A40 in Germany then A3 in Duisburg to A2 to A44 to A1 to A262 to A7 to E45 in Denmark to E39 to the ferry to Faroe Islands
You should have gone towards Denmark original
@@ZillaBlitzPC part time signals in the usa must be the meter lights during rushhour on freeways.
Left side of the road driving is trippy - right side steering truck driving on the left side of the road breaks my brain.
I'm usually okay with the left-side driving until I turn at an intersection, then it's a total tornado of stupidity. :)
That place you delivered to seem pretty dodgy. I reckon you've got yourself involved with a tomato smuggling gang!
Right, and you're from England so you know this stuff! I was suspicious too. I wonder what was inside the tomatoes.
yes london is great
Also i have just subscribed to your channel and i love your euro truck videos
Thanks so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying them. :)
London unrecognisable from the one I grew up in. Looking forward to the journey to Iceland, the Scottish islands should be fun.
We’ll take a bit of a drive around before we leave. Apparently ProMods rebuilds it, but it’s still a fraction of the real London. :)
Loving these PM journeys mate and they do such great work and add so much little extras in each region from signage to towns/cities being added and fleshed out more. I never get ads the joys of YT Premium and defo worth the small investment, nothing worse then chilling with a video then a ruddy ads pops up right. I think those PT signals are like we have here that only become active when traffic is heavy and/or accidents have happened to better control the flow.
I think this could be a very fun save, indeed. I'm really looking forward to getting up into Ireland, maybe 2 more deliveries and we'll be there. :) And yeah, YT Premium is not a bad idea at all, but at the same time I really want to get rid of ads in the middle of these videos. I feel like every time one pops up it just drives people away from the video.
I have an easy fix for watching YT and not to deal with commercials in the middle of a video: watch it on a browser. I'm watching this video right now on Google Chrome. All commercials I have to deal with is the beginning of a video, and its on occasion.
They show up on browsers too for me. Not all the time, but they are there sometimes.
You probably already know this but the ADR skills do not have to be added sequentially. (Example: I usually take flammable liquids first.)
Whaaa?!?! I did NOT know that. Why am I just learning this now? Gosh, thanks so much! :)
Thanks for the shout out! So you have to actually turn off the ads in the middle of videos? Some of the other channels I listen to meet the requirements you mention and I still see them. I guess that means they haven't turned them off? The cads! :)
Sure thing! Once you get monetization status, you have full control over ad placement, so you go in and set them up how you like them. I think you can control how often and perhaps where ads show up in the middle of a video too, but I didn't spend much time in there on the Zilla Blitz channel, I just turned them off as soon as I could. You can also make them skippable or non-skippable, or turn them off altogether for the whole channel. I figure skippable at the beginning is reasonable, so that's what I've left them on for the year or so the channel has been at that status.
I remember when they would celebrate the first McDonald's in other countries. They would usually be the first anywhere. Great that you found a Renault dealer. I guess trucks and race cars are all they do now. Kind of a shame. My GTA was a blast to drive. Actually all my Renaults were. Came from that rally racing heritage.
Well, Renault still makes cars, but trucks... they sold Renault Trucks to Volvo Trucks in the early 2000s, I think.
I definitely remember those "First McDonalds" events. They'd make news every few months or so. Fun times! And yes, we'll have to get a Renault at some point. :)
@@kristoffermangila I guess they only sell overseas then now. Glad to hear they're still around though 👍.
@@ZillaBlitzPC Can't wait for you to hit those teeny tiny roads in the UK Zilla. Oh boy. I don't know how they do it.
Yeah, the first couple of turns of this journey were pretty tight as well. Looking forward to it! :)
I bet those lights are in use if there is accident in the tunnel and they have to guide the vehicles for different route as the was intersection just before the tunnel.
That does make sense, yes, thanks! I think I'm more surprised that we don't have a general term in the US for "part time signals" like that. Feels like a word we should have. :)
@@ZillaBlitzPC in Finland we don't have any special term for them either, they are just lights. Usually paired with liftable boom.
Oh, good, glad to know we're not the only language that doesn't have a word for them. :) It seems like such a sensible word to have, but I guess they just aren't common enough to have one. :) Except for the UK. :)
Thanks to your comments in this video, I realized I forgot to change my RUclips @ handle haha. Now it matches my user name. So thanks!
WARNING: A large amount of info for map mods below. I've used a lot of them haha. If you decide to use any of these but aren't sure where to put them in the load order, I can probably help with that.
Yeah, Road to Asia is good too. Some other maps I like are Project E6 (though you need a road connection to fix some bugs), Paris Rebuild, Sud de France, Swedish Islands (needs a patch), Itarevamp, North Macedonia Rework, and Northern Ireland Rebuilding. SibirMap, SRMap, and VolgaMap can be used if you decide to include RusMap and The Great Steppe to further expand that region. Also Java Road Revolution is cool and high quality if you want to add some more areas in Asia. It connects to Road to Asia. There's also a new mod, Horn of Africa, that looks pretty good but I haven't personally driven there yet. Some other ones that I haven't been to yet but am currently testing are Kirov Map, Altai Map (both Russia), Peyrat-le-Chateau (France I think), and Santiago de Compostela Anadido.
The team that does Road to Asia also has a few other mods for ETS2. One is small and not essential, but one that hasn't released publicly yet, Road to Africa, is pretty good and pretty big. It used to be called Red Sea Map but that one is being retired in favor of the new name changed version with some more areas, but they share the same core region. When the bugs in that one are fixed and it's finally out, it'll be a definite mod to add.
One other African mod I really like is MaghrebMap, but unfortunately the recent release has some bugs and it has some serious incompatibility issues with other maps you see in large combos. Keep an eye on it though and see if it gets fixed, as it's a really high quality take on northwestern Africa. Finally, there's a mod I really like called Poland Rebuilding that adds a lot of depth to Poland, but it hasn't released a version for 1.47 and ProMods 2.65 yet. Keep an eye on it though.
Often you'll also have the mod RoExtended recommended to you. It and its add-ons add all of Ukraine and Turkey, and some areas to Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Romania, and Bulgaria, but I'm actually not a huge fan of that mod overall. It overrides several ProMods areas, and its vision of Ukraine and Turkey aren't super realistic. It's okay, and good for an alternate profile but maybe not a ProMods-dominant profile, as it overwrites a lot of ProMods in areas that I think ProMods handles better.
Wow, this is great information, thanks so much! I'm copying this straight over to my ETS2 notes for future reference. I had no idea there were so many other options out there. This is amazing stuff. I'm inclined to add the Java Road Revolution and Road to Asia ones right away, as that'd be fun to extend east more. I'll gradually start checking these out. Some I might add to the other profile's game to explore as mini-series, and then add some to this one as well. Fun times, thanks so much, this is great stuff! :)
@@ZillaBlitzPC Northern Ireland Rebuilding would be one I'd consider since you are planning to head up that way soon.
@@ZillaBlitzPC Also one note on Project E6: If you don't feel like using it now, it WILL be added fully into ProMods in a future update, but that is likely a long way off.
Yeah, that does sound like a pretty good idea. I hesitate a bit because more mods = more complexity, but I'll check it out. :)
@@ZillaBlitzPC Just put in Northern Ireland Rebuilding above ProMods and ProMods Middle East and it should work right away. No fuss!
Hmmm, no Chunnel??? Then I thought, do they let big rigs IN the Chunnel??? Maybe not due to fumes might be way too hard to keep enough fresh air down there just for cars, and massive diesel fumes may be too much? Dunno!
The closet I could think of in the US would be school signals, which of course are only on twice a day. Or possibly 'rush-hour' signals for special rules into and out of town in the morning/evening.
The Channel Tunnel is rail only and it does have car/truck drive on but you can not technically drive yourself.
Right, we can get on a train to cross the channel too. I've done that in the previous save, early on. But this time the routing took us via ferry. :)
And yes, those school signals or rush-hour lights definitely are the right idea, but we don't really have a name to distinguish them by type, right? We just say "When school is in session". Like, I'm not sure we have a word for "part-time signal".
I think ProMods added a secret "hidden road" you can actually drive under the Chunnel, but the game's GPS will never lead you down it. You have to find it yourself.
Whaaa!?! Challenge accepted! :)
I'm not sure if you're interested in truck sounds at all, but if you are, there is a mod creator by the name of Max2712 that makes a truck sound effect pack for various sounds on the trucks. And he also makes sound mods that replace the default sounds of the engines, and it makes for an even better playing experience in my opinion. If you do end up deciding to just go ahead and download them, I would recommend you download all of his sound mods that replace the default ones so you can have better sounds on a decent amount of the truck brands in the game.
Edit: I would also recommend you get Icons! and immersive symbols extreme. However, if you take a look and those mods aren't your jam I totally get it :)
Thanks, I'll check both of these things out! I do want to explore more mods going forward. Thanks!
As they say in Britain, "almost a bloody great drive, old chap!" "Almost", because of that speeding ticket.
That entry from the ferry to Dover... I'm thinking, IRL, that load of tomatoes to London would be rotten by the time it gets there, due to that dumb*** event known as Brexit...
Speaking of the Middle East map, it reminds me of a documentary produced for Scania about a trip from Norway to Dubai by truck done in the '70s or early '80s. Here's the link, if you're interested:
m.ruclips.net/video/Apx36O6tqN4/видео.html&pp=ygUZTm9yd2F5IHRvIGR1YmFpIHJvYWQgdHJpcA%3D%3D
Whoa, that's a cool documentary! I spot watched some sections where they are basically driving across the desert. That looks like it'd make for a good full watch, thanks for sharing that! ~ And yes, I'm definitely glad they didn't make that crossing Brexit-style. We'd still be there. :)
I know right? Got to admire those fellas who did that run, that desert portion was Dakar Rally-type hardcore. And Dubai... my goodness, the contrast between then and now. The roads alone... any trucker doing that run today aould treat that route as an very long trip, rather than the adventure back then.
As for Brexit, I'm calling it as it is, pardon for any Brits that might read this comment, but over half of them who voted to leave the EU, got a collective rush of s*** to the brain, and now they're regretting it, due to their economy getting so bad out there.
I thought it was interesting in that video, too, that when he ran into a driver who was stuck in the sand, that the driver kept turning his front wheels right and left, just like you do in SnowRunner to get unstuck. :)
3:40 no, even if differential rate is the same, the transmission itself is better, normally you want a transmission that has the salme differential rate than the default one (or 12 gear is 1.00)
Good to know, thanks!
I have to get ProMods, looks so cool. Part time signals tend to be switched on during rush hour times and other busy times only. In future, if you buy a UK garage, remember to buy righthand drive trucks for it. Have you driven a right hand drive truck in ETS2? Great content as always.
The first truck I had in the first series was a right-hand truck, yep! Do you think the wheel side matters for AI drivers?
@@ZillaBlitzPC probably not but it's easy to do, doesn't cost any more and I'm just fussy about doing stuff like that haha. So excited to seeing how this ProMods adventure develops
The only thing I'd be thinking of with the right-hand trucks would be if we wanted to switch trucks with the hired driver. :)
Did you ever try Track IR for immersion? Great content!
Not yet, no. I've spent a bit on memory/cpu/graphic card/light upgrades so I need to calm down a bit on the spending front. :)
Kfc is opening restaurant in italy
They are everywhere! :)
Check out Kardla, Estonia, Sebes, Romania Tulcea, Romania and Sibiu, Romania since it has been added in September for 2.66
Great to know, thanks! That’d be a great place to go after exploring the new West Balkans. :)
explore london
I think we'll drive around a bit before leaving on the next episode. I want to get the question marks in the city. :)
Nice video I'm trying to download this but I can't figure out how to put the pro mods in the game I did put it in the mod file on ets2 but I only have the def file in that but I can't figure out how to activated the other mids
I'll try to make a video in the next week or so. It's slightly complex, not super complex, but enough. Did you download all the other ProMods files? You need like 8 downloads in total.
@@ZillaBlitzPC ye I believe so
15:11
17:10 i use ublock or watching from browser phone
I use keep blockers off and try to watch ads at the beginning on channels I like because I know that it helps support them. Not always, but if the ad is remotely interesting I usually keep it on. :)
Ye but youtube for cells is bugged and from browser no ads :/
? Are very far and very long to get.
Speak of the devil! My previous huge comment already has some out of date info. Poland Rebuilding just released a new version today. Might need a patch for ProMods though. I haven't done the research yet. But a new version is out, pending testing with the rest of the mods. EDIT: They say it works with ProMods out of the gate.
I might add that one right away, as I've always felt like Poland is a bit empty in the base game. Thanks! :)
Hey, apparently Poland Rebuilding has loads of issues with map combos right now, and instead of properly connecting into ProMods, it just overwrites it, and does so in a convoluted way. I'd suggest avoiding it for now until a road connection/compatibility patch between PR and other maps can be made. Disappointing, but sometimes this stuff happens.
Thanks for the heads up! Yeah, that does seem to be a thing with the map mods at times. No worries!
