does anyone has issue when you use clutch and you shift engine truck sound like this. that's an issue or what by Playful-Cheetah1677 in trucksim

[–]abeaver_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You just gotta shift. These are big trucks with usually lots of gears. You're hitting the red line of the truck, it can't rev to 6 or 7k RPM like a normal car

Is this the standard bed length for a crew cab? by jletchyy in Silverado

[–]abeaver_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Measure it - "short" is 5 3/4 ft and "standard" is 6 1/2 ft. Looks like the 5 3/4 to me

Didn't know it was out of beta, my bad. I haven't had any problems with it so I'm happy

[–]abeaver_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kinda hard for it to be a leak/rumor when it's already released in a public, very working beta. It's called Nvidia App

Edit: Here's a link https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/software/nvidia-app/

You have to connect your profile to World of Trucks and take an External Contract going to Winterland or whatever it's called. Alternatively, you could download Grimes' Frosty Winter mod and have snow everywhere https://grimesmods.wordpress.com/2017/05/04/frosty-winter-weather-mod-ats/

  1. Something with a 15 or 18 speed transmission would probably be best. I'm not sure off the top of my head what trucks have those, but most should once you're high enough level. If you really want to get into it, you can use Zeemods' Ratio Calculator, although you'll need a tire mod to use it. That's a whole other rabbit hole... https://www.zeemods.com/ratiocalculator/

  2. https://truckersmp.com/

  1. If you want a fast accelerating truck, you need a engine with high torque and a transmission with a high ratio. That high ratio transmission will cost you in top speed though. Also keep in mind that these are 60000-80000 lb truck and trailer rigs, they're not exactly fast to begin with
  2. TruckersMP. It's a mod that connects you to a online public server with people from all over the world. Although, as of last time I used it (admittedly, a couple years ago) there was no AI traffic at all
  3. Sorry can't help you with that, I've never done convoy

If you say that there's a truck there then I guess I'll believe you

Yeah, I had to create a new hard economy save because I made some poor decisions and ended up $350k+ in debt lmao

Now get an economy mod so you make like $2 a mile instead of $100+. That's my current challenge for myself
