You are the best not only teacher of this game on RUclips , but of the game on RUclips. I have these on a playlist to listen and learn while driving my forklift at work ready to try them out when I get home, thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy to see I can be a help and guidance! This is my channel main goal! I'm so happy to see it is succeeding! 😇
i'm not sure if anyone mentioned this before, but: 10. power/weight ratio changes with installing modules (like crane and others). And if you doesn't see difference between engines on car without modules (if you get to the maximum as you show in the example), you can see difference, when add more weight on the car.
Oh, yes! This is excellent to mention here - thank you for that! Especially when you have to drag your truck out or need a towing help and think to add a trailer for extra help or something - it really makes the difference with that extra load or if you go just with a truck itself!
Thanks for the tips! Your English is really good to, don't hesitate to use other words if you can't express yourself at a moment (like turning the vehicle over/flipping it/upside down/rolled over...), doing really well! Was most pleased with the tips about the tires and visuals. Wasn't sure if the more expensive tires were actually better, because like you said you can't tell a difference when looking at the stats. Now I know for sure. Played Mudrunner to, loved it and bought Snowrunner day one. However I am a console gamer (Playstation) and it pleases me to see more people buy and play it. It still has problems (bugs, glitches) and annoying stuff like completing a task without starting it and not being able to deliver it because you have to go to the actual spot first to activate it. This is superimportant and a big tip from me. DON'T start a task without going there and actually activating it. Another good tip, try taking the longer route for a task or mission. It may seem the best option to take a short route but often it's to steep to climb, rocks are in your path, sharp corners (problem with big loads or multiple vehicles) and you get stuck or something else, in short, the quickest route is not always the best one. Play it safe and you will have less problems = less frustration = less waisted time
Thank you so much for such a great comment and compliments! As well - thank you for helping me out to find a words to describe flipped truck :D The tip about longer route is a gold! Game give choices and many routes, but there always is a catch for the shorter ones - as you said! ;)
I do keep 2 of a few trucks so I don't have to swap addon for it and can park and drive other truck down makes some missions a bit easier. But ya its so nice to get all your money back selling it back.
Yup - it all comes down to the point - if you need to change tires (for example) you need to purchase another set of them and afterwards you can sell the old ones (changing from mud to snow tires for example). And I used to constantly run in this problem where I don't have those 'free' bucks for such purchase - that's where this tip comes in handy ;)
Does anyone have a link to the reddit post he mentioned about background differences that he said he would link in the description? Great video, very useful. As he says, a lot of things that are so obvious but we don't expect the level of detail sometimes or for example "visuals" that actually work/impact gameplay.

@@MLMariss Great, thanks. Very good vids for me and a few friends that are just starting to play. Watched a couple vids and you're very to the point, no time wasting, earned a subscription easily! (No we haven't used Alt+F4 yet... we're not KITTENS! haha)
Shareable - you can take engine out from one truck (swap to some other engine) and then put it in some other truck. For example Chevrolet scout car uses the same engines (few of them) as Scout 800 (or what was it's name). Similarly - the same size tires can be swapped out from one car to other car (you have to have another set of tires to do the swapping between cars). :I hope that explains it :)
Hi .please can you help!I've not been long playing .I've just bought the small yellow crane for the small flat bed truck. I can put the stabilizers down .but when I click to operate crane It always tries to move but won't. As if it's locked .
Oh, wow, sounds really bad. Is that only particular truck or any truck with the crane? Keep in mind the crane also can stuck in trees, buildings, truck itself - the game physics are pretty realistic there. But if nothing of that then that's the bug in game :(
Thank you ;) Well the tactics/approaches differ there - I have chatted with many of my friends and how they approached it and it seems that everyone has their ways of doing that :D Just to put simple my way of it - I had all my auto-park moved to the map, bringing 1 with fuel tank, 1 with huge repair kit and then with rest of them sweeping map from one side to other completing it and leaving the map for good :D
Choosing tires is not straightforward. Often for example the "cheaper" II-versions have better mud-rating. Also the calculation in-game is not as simple as better mud rating -> better goes in mud. There are other considerations like if you can penetrate the mud, you will use dirt rating instead (maybe you have a narrow tire and heavy load). Bigger tires tip the truck easier, which is not great for already high trucks. (also you might want to choose different size tires for different missions). Few tests with Hummel already confirms that it's not just the rating on tire. I think it's always best to test a few tires close to garage.
You are so much right I can't even :D There is a separate video of mine about the tires, where while testing I almost lost my mind xD It's so fricking hard, basically there is no one tire that fits them all, but not even that - there is no one (simple) formula to even calculate what you want :D At the end my tactic is simple - mud (and snow) is the biggest problem, so I pick the tires to fight that, as any other surface even with 'wrong' tires will be less of a problem 😅
Point 11: gearbox what you told is true, but even with permanent AWD and diff. lock you get into situations where the Autodrive is constantly changing between first and second gear and you loose a lot of speed during these shiftings. There it is an advantage to have at least the Highrange gearbox. Because if you put it in High-gear (H) it won't try changing gears anymore ( a bit like the old 'overdrive' or 'hold' buttons in Automatic cars) and you can better crawl through mud or climbing a hill. So there is a use for the Highrange or Offroad gearbox even on cars with permanent AWD and diff. lock. ;) Point 15: autonomous winch for scouts. There is a second (and to me even more imortant) use of that then simply getting on your feet again. That would be deep water crossing! Even with raised suspension and long snorkel you can come across water that is too deep, e.g. the river on Zimnegorsk. If you have the autonomous winch and a reachable winchpoint on the other side, connetct to that winchpoint, put your gearbox in neutral, turn off the engine and tow yourself through the water without doing any damage to your engine!
Very deep and analytical comment - I like those! ;) For the gear box I'm curious - I've tested 'H' setting in mud, but I guess I did it wrong as that burrowed me instantly. But if that works as you say it works (not shifting gears up, then slow down, then start over with 1st gear), then I'm interested! Although, I need to mention here - this problem solved with better engines, only default (weak) engines has this issue. Excellent point about rivers - especially 2 points I know where the river is nasty deep! Also managed to get across still with running engine and constantly 'climbing' to get a grip on the bank of the river :)
@@MLMariss Especially for mud it is not the H-box allone, more a combination of engine upgrade, tyres and gearbox. Have a look at this video excerp. The muddy part doesn't really make clear the point because of the water puddles in between which really pull you down. But for the hillclimb, at about 4min10sec and pay attention how the car really jumps forward when shifting from A(1) into H. ruclips.net/video/oqNDvudOceU/видео.html (highest engine upgrade, standard suspension, TMHS 1 mud tires, snow runner gearbox). I always used the H-box wrong: I thought it was for going fast on established roads, so whenever I reached the highest gear in Auto I shifted into H and suddenly got slow. I never understood that untill a real life truck driver told me that this H-box is not for going fast on road, but for preventing the engine to blow due to redling it when crawling through mud as it limits the engine revs and somehow manages to give same amount of rev and torque and also for long hill climbs as it also prevents shifting -> the problem you described, accelerating (slowly) in A1 then trying to shift into A2 but during that slowing down so that speed is too low for A2, then shifting down again, meanwhile stopping and so on. You could also use L+ in these situations, but if H-box works (sometimes it doesn't, because the hill simply is too steep, or the mud too thick or speed too low or cargo too heavy), it'll be significantly faster. ;)
Ooohh...so H kind of 'locks in' the gear you are currently having..and not allowing engine to blow nor to shift to next gear..so if properly used it will lock gear 1 or 2, depending on the terrain/mud/situation..right? And that's where I got confused as for deep mud L or L+ was always the thing..and basically that works in similar ways! But with H driver can 'lock in' not only low gears but also gear 3 or 4 if he wants to be speedy and climb uphill..right? I got it finally? :D For Highrange gearbox I feel lik the gears are also shorter (compared to Snowrunner gearbox for example), so with H gear and many gear levels that is really manual mastery to get it all right in order to get through everything.. Currently I have settled for Balanced gearbox, that gives nice sweet set of gear count and there is also L for mud (not + or -), but as I choose fast AWD + dif. lock trucks and if they have improved/upgraded engines then it's all solved with A and L gear :D Thank you for the comment and explanation! Highly appreciated!
@@MLMariss You are welcome! But I think you missunderstood something: H doesn't lock in the actual gear (maybe in real life it does that) - it is more like having gear 2 locked in or something between 2 and 3, so as soon as you can go 3rd gear or even higher it is not a situation for H-gear as it will only slow you down (though I sometimes do that for not getting too fast -> hill descent)
point number 10 is not entirely correct. If you add Sideboard bed on Fleetstar and the try changing engines, you will see that power to weight will rise. I guess that game doesn't show above S.

Great tips again thanks man never knew you could do this inspect the car thing!
Glad to help! That's why I do the crazy part and show you all so you can just get the results :D
also "just visual" bumpers and sideboards do really affect geometric crossing ability

Where do you get weehicles?
Buying from the garage mostly. There are some given as rewards for specific mission, but many/most of them are just purchased.
thank you so much you explain everything very well..its very helpful to me as a beginner in this franchise trucking.thanks thank you

what do you mean by items are shareable? because then you say you have to put the crane off one and onto the other one. That's like the opposite.
Shareable - you can take engine out from one truck (swap to some other engine) and then put it in some other truck.
