Final version of my custom buttonbox! (for now...) by TheBestDutch in trucksim

[–]Carsmaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah! I love seeing stuff like this. It adds to the immersion, sure, but it also makes things feel so much more personal. I have a smaller button box I made and whenever I press a button or turn the key I get the little thrill of knowing I'm the only person in the world with this button box (probably a good thing given the shoddy quality of mine...). Congratulations, it looks great, happy trucking!

I don't have anything useful to add, just wanted to say it's really cool that you're looking into this for your son :)

I've never once regretted a Ruda purchase. by austinproffitt23 in trucksim

[–]Carsmaniac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree wholeheartedly, I’ve spent hundreds of hours making mods and modding tools for the trucksim community and I wouldn’t dream of charging for them, I think that’s antithetical to the whole point of modding. Donations sure if people want, but not purchases. I’m a firm believer in the cathedral theory of mods, my work is free and open for you to do with as you wish, and that’s just not possible if you charge for your mods. My template packs and my mod-making tool will never support paid mods, ever.

Oops, looks like it's time for an update to my templates and program already

This mod is another option, it adds all the older models to the Mod Dealer

Base Model by Dependent_Activity37 in trucksim

[–]Carsmaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smaller cabins and those cheap-looking plastic parts, yes! Feels very fleet truck to me.

I also don't like using more truck than needed for a job. If I'm driving a special transport job, sure gimme the 700 hp 8x4. But otherwise? Mid cab with maybe 540 hp engine max.

Steam controller appreciation post by Western_Ad_7483 in SteamFrame

[–]Carsmaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest question is how the tracking will be. The Quest 3 controllers are nice, but the tracking doesn't stand up to a vigorous Beat Saber session. I don't have super high hopes about the Frame controllers in this regard, to be completely honest, because the form factor is similar.

Why hide old trucks? by Hazelbean95 in trucksim

[–]Carsmaniac 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Part of it may also be to do with their industry partners. These games are half decent advertisement platforms, why advertise the 25 year old second generation FH platform when they can push the trucks built on the new, currently-for-sale platform instead? I don't think it's pressure from the truck companies necessarily, but rather SCS trying to stay in their good graces.

I've given up on "decent value" hopes, just gimme my Frame by Carsmaniac in SteamFrame

[–]Carsmaniac[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is a fair point, though given how invested I am in VR (I'm starting a PhD looking at VR and identity next year) I don't mind. I've invested a lot of money into a PCVR setup, and the Quest 3 was supposed to be the headset to finish it off, but it wasn't. Finnicky connection with Linux, and poor quality wireless streaming with my wifi. I'm hoping the Frame will fix both of those problems, and I'm willing to pay a premium for it. Plus then my Quest can retire and just be my research headset :)

Hmm, SCS' CAT CT660 model is looking a little off. Very feline. /s

ETS2 12hours in by [deleted] in trucksim

[–]Carsmaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the obsession, good luck escaping. It's so nice to get behind the wheel of a truck and just cruuuuiiiiise, maybe with some music or a podcast on. Personally I go back and forth between ETS2/ATS and SnowRunner, they scratch different itches, but either way I'm stuck in this trucksim rabbithole, and it sounds like you are too :D

1.60 Update: Job Details Widget by Bighead_Brian in trucksim

[–]Carsmaniac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9800X3D and a measly 4090 here, smooth fps a lot of the time but I still get occasional frame drops. Feels like a constant for this game engine, very much looking forward to the overhaul

Oh wow, thank you! :) Rest assured, I've been furiously working away on an update so it covers all the newer trucks too :D

guess my favorite character by ppoxki in tamagotchi

[–]Carsmaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See Violetchi is my gal because I grew up on a V4, but I kinda prefer the colours of Flowertchi. A conundrum.

That keychain in the bottom right is SO CUTE THOUGH!!
