Every truck brand in Euro Truck Simulator 2 offers at least two or more base models (as of Update 1.34). Every model has a series of options that can be upgraded by the player's choice. As you increase in level, higher tier upgrade options become available. Normally, a truck can be upgraded with the options below:
Damage is not visually simulated in the truck. It is simulated mechanically, however. Damage is simulated in five different parts - tires, cabin, chassis, engine and gearbox. Engine and gearbox damage affect truck performance as less power can be utilized with greater damage and certain gears may stop working. Chassis affects truck suspension, making it more liable to tip during hard turns. The cabin houses, the truck electrics, and increased damage leads to electrical failures in the truck. Finally, tires affect traction and handling. The more tire damage is accumulated, the worse the handling becomes in wet weather and/or loose surfaces, such as gravel. Increased engine damage also adds a chance of having an engine malfunction - which will cause failures in the truck's battery and engine, and eventually, turn it off permanently if a critical damage percentage is reached.

The player can also choose to call Emergency (via GPS - F7) at any point of the game, even while hauling a delivery. The emergency can transport the truck and cargo to the nearest city's Service Shop. This is useful in case of an unrecoverable crash, critical / total damage percent reached - or simply if the truck ran out of fuel.
Today we are proud to announce that Euro Truck Simulator 2 for MacBook is here! Now you can play this vehicle simulation game on all Macintosh computers. SCS Software developed and also published the game and you get the chance to drive one of articulated trucks across a depiction of Europe. Also you can pick cargo from many locations and then deliver it. Are you in?
There are many truck simulators out there, but ETS is one of the most famous and best loved. That is sure to continue with Euro Truck Simulator 2. Trucks look great, and are all licensed from companies like Scania, Renault and MAN. You'll be able to customize the performance and look of your trucks too.
There are over 60 cities in Euro Truck Simulator 2, in UK, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and more. Your task is to build a successful freight company, making deliveries across the continent in good time. While the focus is obviously driving, doing jobs to earn money, buy your own truck, and eventually your own fleet and hir other drivers means you can get very involved with the game. It's not unlike an role playing game, but with trucks and timber instead of dragons and talking trees.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is constantly being updated with more vehicles and tweaks to truck handling and physics, making it ever more realistic. There is also a dedicated community of fans creating mods for the simulator - meaning there's a ton of stuff you can add for free. On top of this there's lots of premium DLC from developer SCS Software, including a huge additional map pack called Going East, which lets you truck all over Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is the best in its class. If truck driving is what you want to do, this is your best option, and it's lucky to have a very dedicated developer which is constantly improving the sim and listening to its fans.

It controls the distance of your jobs, the cargo you can carry and so forth.
New rest areas and truck stops have also been implemented, but that isn't all! You will also find new assets, vegetation, and textures too, giving the area a completely new look and feel. We can't wait for you to explore it for yourselves. You can read more all about the rework on previous blogposts which have highlighted the cities and more which have been reworked. Read more here.
We like to call this new addition the 'Mod Refund' feature. In simple terms, after a player has downloaded a third party modification and used it on their truck, they may in the future want to remove it (or it even may have become incompatible). This new feature reads and recognises the data from the modification, even if it has been removed, and refunds the player the difference with the in-game currency. This removes the problem of players losing money after using a modification.
It works by recognising that a crucial part is missing (such as the chassis, engine etc) and replacing it with a default part. Players will be prompted with a pop-up containing information that some parts are being refunded and will be given the option to accept or reject this refund. If you decide to reject the refund and reactivate the mod instead, the truck will now revert to its former glory even if you have saved the game in the meantime.
Players customising their truck or looking at new parts in the garage may see some new icons appearing in the list. In total we have added 4 new icons to represent what type of accessory it is. When you hover over them, they will show if they are classed as a:
This should help drivers when it comes to customisation if they wish to keep it within the manufacturers customisation options, or tune their truck further with aftermarket parts. We hope you enjoy this small yet helpful feature!
Smart Sequential Shifting is now available to truckers, if they wish to enable it via the options. So what does it do? In simple terms, when you shift up or down sequentially, it will automatically shift by more gears at once based on the current torque or speed.
Drivers now can lower the suspension of their truck to get the correct height for hooking up their trailer, without damaging it. Players will be able to find the inputs for this new adjustable suspension in the options. Its inputs are front up/down and rear up/down.
Among other changes arriving in American Truck Simulator in the 1.44 update, there will also be a rather small addition, that is technically actually bigger than it might seem. We are excited to let you know that we are bringing new interior options for Freightliner Cascadia trucks!
From oversized cargo to challenging routes, the Special Transport DLC offers players a unique trucking experience; and today we are happy to share that 8 new routes will be arriving to the roads American Truck Simulator in this update.
MOD authors please be aware that some modifications will require some adjustments to work properly in Convoy. Sound modifications will be heard locally by the user, but other players will not hear them as remote trucks use a simpler soundbank (or they may just hear default truck sounds) if the modification is not configured to do so. Vehicles, Trailers, and Cargo modifications must also include proper traffic models for other players to see and interact with.
The new FFB has been written from scratch and utilizes a 120 Hz refresh rate, independent from the main game loop. It combines some of the old artificial effects with the new centering and tire friction force feedback, which is based on real calculations from forces on the first steering axle and simulates the behavior of a hydraulic steering gear system used in most of today's trucks. This brings a more realistic and immersive feedback experience for our players!
Braking intensity slider shall be set at 90%.If you have very few truck + trailer axles, you might need to edit brake_torque_factor to slightly higher values (try 0.1, 0.2 and so on) in the physics file since setting braking intensity to 100% might not be enough (I use an 84 truck + 4 axle trailer). Notepad is all you need to do so.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a truck simulator game developed by SCS Software. This is the second video game in the Truck Simulator series and a direct sequel to the 2008 game Euro Truck Simulator. Euro Truck Simulator 2 has versions for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS and was first released in 2012 as open development.
There are several different types of trucks that a player can virtually drive in this game to transport goods across Europe, and then deliver them to their final destination. More trucks and depots can be purchased and drivers can be hired to work for the player as he levels up in the game.
There are currently 17 licensed trucks from 7 different manufacturers in the ever-expanding fleet. The developers claim to have re-created all the vehicles in the game as realistically as possible to ensure that driving any of the trucks featured in the game feels just like driving them in real life.
There are numerous possibilities to customize your truck, from the size of the cabin and the chassis to the engine and transmission, as well as a selection of cosmetic options, including everything from side skirts, mirrors, tires, rims, beacons, rims, doorsteps, and multiple light sets and colors.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 has an overwhelmingly positive review score on Steam and is being described by players as a realistic, curiously cathartic, and soothing game. The developers are also to be commended for keeping the game fresh and exciting by constantly adding new content and introducing new features such as the recently introduced multiplayer, which includes the already established trucking community multiplayer.
GeForce Now, like Boosteroid, is a cloud-gaming service through which you can play Euro Truck simulator without needing to install it on your Mac. The only differences are that you will need a GeForce Now client app to use the service and that GeForce Now offers a free subscription plan, though it has a 1-hour limit per gaming session and some waiting in a queue before you could start playing. Here are our instructions on how to set up GeForce Now and play Euro Truck Simulator through it: 2ff7e9595c
