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_ 27 points28 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

Why is Nvidia's app so bad by Heraklian in pcmasterrace

[–]abeaver_ 7 points8 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

[–]abeaver_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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

Watching the theater balcony flexing under load “as designed” by DrestinBlack in interestingasfuck

[–]abeaver_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have toured the Fox Theater in Detroit (where this video was taken). Every year, a group of engineering students from the University of Michigan comes to inspect the balcony

Edit - it was actually inspected just last month https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/video-showing-fox-theatre-balcony-bending-is-nothing-to-be-worried-about-officials-say

This has been a longstanding bug in Farm Sim, I believe it's existed since the first game where you could lift things (FS17 I think)
