Enjoying this game far too much, played yesterday morning when the OH was at work. Doing ok, no loans, 2 trucks with two drivers, both all kitted out with lights etc, and Im driving for other firms to build up extra cash. Almost at truck no.3 now, the garage is a 5 bay, so shouldnt be an issue!!

How sad that Im planning ahead in a game.

One gripe, got the xbox 360 wireless controller set up, however, doesnt appear I can assign the buttons to do cruise, indicators, trailer drop, etc. I can look, and use the shoulder ones for throttle etc, but cant use the buttons. Anyone know a way round this?
If you go into the keyboard setup screen, it lists all the functions and their assigned buttons. Click on one you want to change, and press a button on your controller. It should update to use the controller instead then smile Took me a few minutes to work that out!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!! I shall be doing that tonight, ive already mapped out most of my buttons, when I realised I couldn't do it

Are you looking under the quick job tab or Freight tab? they wont show up on the map, but go to a company in the town and drive over the rotating company/presnet icon...

From reading this thread it made me play the demo, and now I have the full game. Not sure why, but it's very addictive! biggrin

Has anyone managed to get this mod to work?: http://ets2.lt/en/better-ai-lights-2/

I have managed to get a couple of other mods working, but whenever I enable this one it crashes my game on the loading screen after I select my profile.

Nothing in the Quick job or Freight tabs. Driving over the company icons in the yards doesn't bring anything up either. Was working fine until yesterday. No updates or any new mods.

Did you upload the MOD that changed company names and trailers, the pack with Blockbusters, Comet, HMV, Jessops seems to have an issue.

Rest/advance a few hours a look again.

I cant believe there are 0 jobs, it sounds like you have a filter enabled (i.e. search jobs only going from birmingham, or something like that)

Trying to decide £400k, do I buy 2 new garages and transfer a couple of trucks each from my 5 truck garages or just buy one garage and 2 extra trucks, bearing in mind I'm affording to buy a truck every 3rd day at the moment I'm thinking depots is the way to go.

I would put the money into 2 depots and whatever trucks you can get for that.

is there a place to get 2nd hand trucks? cheapest truck ive found is around £98k from renault.

A helpful chap from the interwebs said:
Are you using the "Physics testing ground" mod? That mod will cause cargos to stop regenerating, and even after you delete that mod, you will still get no cargos in your profile. My "legend" level profile has been ruined by that mod.
It can also be the other mods, I suggest to delete all mods and start a new profile. It can't be the game itself.
So there you go, Don't touch the "Physics testing ground" mod or you'll be starting again from scratch like me. irked

This one wasn't my fault either, frustrating when the job expires soon.

Were you en route to a job in that picture?!

You definately want one of the real company mods, the one here is the best I've found, the AI trailer mod is worth getting too. I'm also using a headlights mod (really helps with the AI lights at night), reskins for tractors/plant etc. of the real counterparts, also have upright exhausts, and side panels for 6x2/4 Scanias in the tuning.

Try the one I mentioned above, it hasn't caused any problems for me so far.

What planning/tactics are you all using?

I've got a base in london with 1 driver and a base in bern with 3 drivers, i've got 2 trucks but not sure if i'm hiring a driver with nothing for him to drive!
You'll get increasingly grumpy emails from them if they have nothing to drive smile I started in Zurich as it seemed to be a good central location, now have 5 trucks there and 3 in Amsterdam and paid off the loans that paid for most of it; I'm trying to get my Amsterdam drivers leveled to get the best money jobs as they're only at 60% eff., I'm still making twice as much as all three in one day biggrin so once they hit 100% I'll start gradually expanding with some more 3 berth garages.
