Do more tips like this i found it very helpful even though I've been playing trucking sims for years. It's good seeing these tips from a real truckers perspective keep it up can't wait till the next tip.
This was a nice tutorial, i actually always did this in both Euro and American Truck, but never knew you had to use the hazard signals when parking the trailer, thanks for that!
Been playing ETS2/ATS2 for a while now. One thing I have learned from this video is to take it slow. I tend to rush when reversing so I dont have time to make corrections when I screw up. Thanks again!!
ive been playing ats since 2018 but ive been playing trucking games since i was a kid. just find them fun and by all means i am no truck driver irl and when playing the game i had to figure it all out by myself so its really neat to see actual truck drivers play and talk about things like this and for the most part it seems like ive been doing it right. so thanks! just subbed.
The turn around thing is so much easier with the euro cab overs, they turn on dime it feels like compared to the often huge US trucks. I do love the explanation of the maneuver which is how i have done it to as a non trucker :)
I will definitely be trying this in the future. As a non trucker, I get impatient; so I just do the whole pull the load in and call it good. But I think this’ll help. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks man, it's always good to learn one thing everyday, even if you think you know it already. Thank you for your Trucker Service. 👍 You did very well on a Digital Platform considering you did it a long long time in Real Life. You did Excellent. It's not that easy to switch from a Real Life Point of View to a Digital Game.
Me too, and every job I've taken so far (the high earners) have been two trailers coupled together. Not the faintest idea how to back those up, some of the yards have been really tiny as well
I find it helps to think of the semi-trailer as like a giant wheelbarrow. You have to swing the handle end around until it's lined up with the place you want it to go.
I watched all his videos and I bought this game a few days ago and the one thing he doesn't really mention that I noticed in my gameplay and his is that it's much harder to drive in between the lanes in this game than it is in real life with a truck, at least with default steering settings. does anyone know a setting that makes the steering more organic?
I am a fairly new player as well (170 hours) and I use K&M and have used Xbox Controller as well... To be honest both have janky steering at times, Controller is a tad more organic but I am playing with K&M as of right now and have a mod that makes it easier to steer on keyboard but I still have the issue of the truck swerving off lanes but wayyy slower than it used to. just tweak your settings a bunch till you find something that is good for you. You can only tell what you like, as every player has a different way of playing among other things. Tweak the settings you need / want to the way you like them. Now if you own an actual Steering Wheel, i don't honestly know since I have yet to be able to use one due to not owning one as of right now. I think with the wheel its like 100x more organic than Controller and Keyboard Mouse combined though.
Like Dixie said, look in Options; there is a setting under Gameplay and if you have a gamepad or steering wheel look in Controls. Just start tweaking the steering related settings and see if you can get it to improve.
The best way to back up doubles is to never get into a situation where you need to back them up, especially US equipment. They're not designed to be backed up more than a few yards. Euro trailers have a different design and can be backed up a little easier, but it still takes skill.
I think it would help to do a video and comment on what you are doing with your steering as you do it. For instance are to tracking straight with the steering and letting the trailer continue to bite or are you steering to swing the cab in front or cutting to tighten the bite - that sort of thing would be helpful in addition to the useful information regarding the setup.
By way of a feature that is not enabled by default. Here's a video that covers how to enable and use it, as well as some other nifty hidden features: ruclips.net/video/DSMecKfmubo/видео.html
Do you have a video where you're backing in with a lot less space between the trailers and the fence? I must have spent an hour trying to back into one of those before I just gave up on it.
I don't believe I do, but maybe I should create one. Here's a different backing video in case you haven't seen it: ruclips.net/video/SvTW2POptRg/видео.html
@@Myotradventure I'll keep an eye out. Also what steering wheel controller are you using? I recently grabbed a Logitech one, but the G-hub software is just trash so I'm going to return this one and try to find another brand to get away from G-hub.
@@mystbunnygaming1449 I use the Logitech G923 and don't have issues with GHub. I know others sometimes do with other steering wheels. Most of the configuring is done within ATS.
@@Myotradventure My problem is, ATS won't recognize my steering wheel at all until I get the drivers installed, which I can't find a way to do outside of G-hub, but G-hub bugged out when installing the drivers, so I tried to update G-hub and it bugged out updating itself, so I pretty much just bought a $200 brick.
@@mystbunnygaming1449 I've never experienced anything like that. I wonder which wheel kit you have, and which version of Windows are you running? Do you have an older PC, etc.
@@Myotradventure Yea, the small amounts of times I messed with head tracking that was still very much a work-in-progress it already helped a lot. I also noticed it helps a tremendous amount when your view is close to life-size, but that's difficult for most people to obtain.
Thanks! I'm going to need a lot more practice with my trailer with the steerable axle before I can think about doing a tutorial video, but I'll add it to my list of videos to make.
It seems I forgot to include the mods list in the Description; but, I'm not aware of any mod that adds trailers. All of the trailers in this video were placed there by ATS.
That would be SiSL's Route Advisor. I'm not sure if I was listing all my mods in the Description back then, but I have them in the Description of all my current videos.
I have a question as I see you're a driver in real life as well, I've been playing ats for a couple of years how would you compare the backing to real life is it similar or no. The reason I ask is because i'm considering making my CDL and was just curious if everything I've learned on backing through the time on the game would aid me or basically throw it out the window? I know its a dumb question lol
Thank you! All of my mods that I use in any given video or live stream are in the Description of that video. They change somewhat based on whether I'm solo or in a convoy.
Could you have instead turned into the space between the box truck and rightmost brown trailer and then start backing driver side? There's even tire tracks on the ground.
Backing into that space in order to get turned around would still require a blind-side back, although there is more room to do it. I've done this, but it's better to avoid a blind-side back whenever possible. It's also better to avoid too much backing when you can.
@@Myotradventure What I meant was turn right after the gate, so that you're parallel with the trailers and facing the wall, then jack the trailer to the left and go from there. Your comment about too much backing is obviously correct, all cars are designed to go forward after all. If they weren't, everyone would be driving backwards, haha.
Stay close to the store front and look at both mirrors. G.O.A.L get out and look F2 function key. That store is Walgreens or Aldi,. The dock closest to building is hardest but with some work a W900KW 6x4 gets in their.
thanks I'll try that next time I run in to that mission. In-game wise does it matter if the truck have a day cab or sleeper. like does the length of the truck change in game like in real life?
@@gegre9000 definitely easier in a day cab the truck is shorter so the trailer bends in to tighter spaces. To get the feel of it and make it easy, a single axle day cab and a 48' trailer would be easiest. Don't give up on learning to back, use the cheater mirrors f3 orF4? helps when starting out. Also you can adjust the trucks power mirrors on the doors out further if doing a blind side back. When I blind side back I bend the trailer to the right till I see the back of the trailer in the pasanger window, then pull forward a little partly strengthen out, than back to reverse and slide it back to the dock, like the one on the far end at the WalBert warehouses. Every time you get in a different truck adjust the position of the seat, door mirrors AND the convex spot mirrors. I delivered to WalBert in Paige Arizona yesterday, blind side backed in to that dock on the far end. Nailed it, one try no pull ups, had to get out and look 2 times. Overfloaters cab over KW, and a 53' trailer, zmods 3406 Cat engine.
When they were doing the beta patch testing when they introduced movable windows you could "look outside" of the window when it was closed and then they changed it when the window was up/closed you could not look "outside" the window... when they released the finished patch they went back to you could "look outside" of the window when it was up/closed!
i got a problem where I can never seem to straighten my trailor out no matter how big or small my corrections are, I can go left my trailor goes right, I go right my trailor still goes right until i can finally line it up which takes a lot of space
It can be pretty tricky until you get the hang of it. Rewatch through this video and the other tutorial I did about backing a trailer and see if it helps.
Can you tell me where you found out how to set up your wheel and pedals? I started playing this on ps4. But can't get the gas pedal to even going forward! Your doing a great job!!
At this point, I would recommend you do a search on YT for "setting up steering wheel in ATS" or something similar, and see if any helpful tutorials come up. If you find one, maybe share a link to it here.
I see all the door dummies backing in like this. Takes forever. Try to stay under it. When I back up I'm making adjustments back and forth slowly to smoothly get it in there. Much faster. I'm a stupid cattle chauffeur for what it's worth.

if you using a steering wheel (that is capable) set it up and the game options to 900 degrees turning

And you did the reverse damn well bro 😁

Thanks, I have trouble with double trailer backing. I wish you can show me how best to backup a double trailer
@ժʝ_ Look for brutal weather in workshop, don't know if it'll work for ETS2 but it's great on ATS. 😎👍
The best way to back up doubles is to never get into a situation where you need to back them up, especially US equipment. They're not designed to be backed up more than a few yards.
Euro trailers have a different design and can be backed up a little easier, but it still takes skill.

Would be more informative if you explained which direction your turning the wheel and at what times you’re turning while backing
