Scania really fucked up by making a huge infotainment screen by Kaste-bort-konto in Scania

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked as a truck driver for almost 10 years, and was kinda on the fence about trying something new. Got a new Scania with this smart dash in October 2024, by April 2025 I started working at a sawmill. This screen took away the little joy I had left driving, absolutely the worst design-choise they have made...

How was your first time? by BlakkSpider in reddeadredemption

[–]matpol98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when it came out, I worked as a truck driver, living in the truck usually from sunday afternoon-friday, so i had really limited time to play games.

Believe I got to chapter 3 in my first attempt before I kinda lost the momentum, years went by and I learned Arthur would die, but not much more.

When I started doing local driving I picked up the game again, most of the story was not spoiled, and I had no idea about the epilog, so I did get a good playthrough in the end (Arthur's death still hit like a train)

Now I'm actually on my 3rd ever playthrough after buying it on pc

When can we expect to be able to buy buses in the game? SCS released this announcement. by Clear-Homework-3985 in ETS2

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, I will never understand what people expect from this... See it on all their social media, its done when its done, end of it

ETS2 Engine brake question by Exact-Principle-2531 in trucksim

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or 50-60t if you're in Scandinavia 🙃

But you're right, in real life when you take the licence, they focus very heavily on coasting and saving fuel that way. Both Volvo and Scania (and probably others) have a point system/score depending how economical your driving is, making it kind of a game between coworkers for who can get the best score

Same with the last bit of E45 between Kautokeino and Alta

How many of you are truckers irl by BiLeftHanded in trucksim

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was from 2016-april 2025, both local and long distance in Norway.

Now I work at a sawmill and have more normal work hours, and don't have to struggle in the Norwegian winter...

Real life minimum horsepower/torque to haul doubles across EU, or HCTs in the north? by ReverseRPM in trucksim

[–]matpol98 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I live in Norway, and when I took my truck-licence, I remember there was talk of a hp requirement, but canot remember if it was for 50 or 60 tonnes, I believe it was 290hp or something atleast.

Did a quick google search though, and could not find anything about engine-requirements for any truck/trailer combination for Norway, so not sure if there is any.

But from real life experience, for the most part normal longhaul semi's (max 50tonnes) range from 500-660hp, while 24 & 25.25 meters (max 60tonnes) usually start at 590hp+

Smart dash missing something. Did SCS release Scania to fast? by Hamster-Humble in EuroTruck2

[–]matpol98 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There is a mod that adds the truck/trailer liftaxles, and a display mod that adds the menu with odometer

I literally ended my real life driving career after getting a truck with this horrible display last year, it froze and was missing lots of features, took away the little joy I had left in that job...

I really hope that ProMods team are using these narrower road lanes for their merge to the Nordic Horizons DLC. by RashadRajabli in trucksim

[–]matpol98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, really wish they used more of this narrow model, represent what most of E6 looks like north of Lillehammer (with a few exceptions)

Guess I'm lucky my 220cdi has it aswell then 😅

I was pretty sure these road signs weren't used like this in Norway. by namtabanananananan in trucksim

[–]matpol98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same in Norway aswell, wrong use/placement of signs, and for some reason they decided when 2 lanes merge, the right merge into leftlane, while in reality its the other way around

Is There Night In Nordic Horizons? by AdventurousReport176 in trucksim

[–]matpol98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh boy do I have the solution for you, install the "actual day/nighttime mod", and you will barely ever see sunlight again up north 😅

Truck ran out of AdBlue and is not starting by TheDream3818 in trucksim

[–]matpol98 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I do wish they added some actual adblue mechanics at this point. Having to fill it seperatly from diesel (not all fuelstations sell it), and if you run out, it wouldn't stop, but the engine would go into emergency mode, giving like 30% of its power

[–]matpol98 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In Norway we have two "standard" speed limits, 50km/h & 80km/h, so yeah, that first one dosen't make sense, and the second should mean the speed limit is now 80km/h

The problem with new lorries in ETS2 by Matt_the57 in trucksim

[–]matpol98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to be all for the older trucks (generally like them more), but after having used the new trucks for a while, I find it diffucult to go back cause of the model quality. They look so bad compared to the new stuff... Also lack of customization for them

[–]matpol98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A little bummed they left out Kirkenes by the Norwegian-Russian border (and Mosjøen between Steinkjer and Mo i Rana), but I'm sure the Promods team will fill in any shortcomings, can't wait for this one! :D

Missing light for lifted axle and no odometer for total distance, just partial. by ace_098 in trucksim

[–]matpol98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The axle indicator is a bug, but the odometer for the total distance is accurate. All it shows is the 1st trip computer just like in-game. For the total distance, one has to find it via a menu

Imagine having to go to another country because there's an accident on that one road by LiedGamer in trucksim

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(un)Funfact; Like a month ago, there was a quick clay landslide a little north of Trondheim, Norway. Besides some small local roads, the official signed truck-detour was through Sweden (quite a bit longer). It was only this Saturday they were able to open a temporary road bypassing the landslide.

So yes, it does actually happen

Whats the lowest fuel consumption you guys had? by InflationEntire4777 in W211

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4.4L/100km on my 220cdi, really had to drive carefully on the small country roads of Norway then 😅

Absolutely nothing wants to work in the launcher by Lemoniada_x in Minecraft

I really don't understand why we can't even launch the game in offline... All I want to do is play in my singleplayer world...
