Game time is compressed accordingly, so day/night cycles faster, but there’s no practical effect in-game. Distances are thankfully compressed into something that allows you to drive from London to Newcastle in 10 minutes, so at least you’re not asked to do this in real-time. But the vast majority of the game is bland motorways no matter where you are. Some effort has been made to consider local flavor, so there’s rolling English countryside versus tall pines in Poland, and of course you’ll be able to see the Eiffel Tower from within Paris. This means, as you would expect, there’s not much to see here. Towns in between the major cities simply don’t exist, on either the map or the game world. You can never leave the highways that connect these cities, and trying will introduce you to an invisible wall. You’re further limited to tiny industrial areas on the outskirts, no more than two or three blocks, with routes into the city proper blocked off by floating yellow barriers. For starters, countries have a maximum of four cities, with smaller countries having only one. It may sound somewhat daunting (especially the “no GPS” part), but plenty of simplification makes it anything but. The side of the road you’re driving on also varies appropriately by country. You’ll also need to obey traffic laws, and are fined automatically for speeding, any collisions, or red lights run. You could conceivably miss a turn or an off ramp somewhere, but actually getting lost seems impossible. Signage on all highways is also accurate and easy enough to follow. You can toggle the overlay off for authenticity. Instead, you’ll need to rely on the maps, in either a detailed version in your notebook (the N key) or a miniature overlay (the M key).

You will never be given a clearly-marked route to mindlessly follow. Interestingly, there’s no GPS or arrow indicators here. Rain effects look nice, though don’t affect your handling in any perceptible way. You can even engage a parking brake, which does nothing practical except make you feel confused, then stupid for leaving it on.

You can click on left and right turn signals, which hopefully will keep other drivers from trying to pass you on a lane change. Headlights, horns, wipers, and cruise control all function. Trucks apparently need to reach about 5th gear before they move at more than a crawl, so be prepared to hammer “shift up” after every stoplight.

Manual transmission does not include a clutch (just “shift up” and “shift down”) and works only in increments. You can choose manual or automatic transmission at the options screen instead of per truck. Chow and potty breaks for your virtual trucker are sadly not simulated.

Run out of gas or let your truck break down, and you’ll need to call (and pay for) roadside assistance. Along the way you’ll need to pay for fuel as needed, sleep at rest areas if fatigue is setting in, and pay for truck and tire maintenance in between runs. You can also purchase licenses to handle more valuable cargo – explosives, chemicals, and fragile shipments – though these don’t raise the payout as much as a long drive will. The value of each route is almost entirely dependent on distance traveled, which is why opening up new countries is a top priority. There’s no benefit to starting in one country over another, as smaller countries include larger neighbors as well (choosing Belgium also unlocks France, for example). Any money you make goes toward truck upgrades, a powerful new chassis, or unlocking the ability to take contracts in countries adjacent to any you’ve unlocked previously.

You’ll use this truck to take contracts from a series of fictitious goods providers, link up with the trailer full of cargo, and drive it to wherever it needs to go. We’re living the good life.Įuro Truck Simulator starts you off with an underwhelming truck and one country of your choosing from a map running from Portugal to Poland (minus Luxembourg and anything smaller). Driving cheap Scandinavian furniture to Rome.
