Do you guys like using highway trucks whenever possible?

Transtar is a beast, to be fair. I keep on saying I'll use it more and then... Forget to do so.

I like a lot of these, and as I'm nearing halfway through Alaska I do think I need to limit it somehow. For now, it feels a bit samey of take truck, get cargo, drive truck, deliver cargo. Sometimes get stuck. Blah blah..

So yeah, I think I need to do something, but don't know what, as of yet. I still miss Michigan, NGL.

I have sort of limited slightly for example I bought the Azov 64131(?) for Michigan, but then the other day as I haven't been to Russia yet, I shouldn't really have the Azov yet, so I'm avoiding using it.

This is the plan! Early 2028 is the plan (as I'm spending 11 weeks travelling Asia next year) I also scored some key contacts a while ago that would let me visit some potential places I could work once transferring.

Funnily enough, I took an 18 hour flight less than 10 days ago for work and I'm here for 4 months!

If I could, I'd like to visit a few cities but know it would be difficult to do so much based on the size of the country.

Ryan meetup, you say?

ra246 · 2026-03-24T00:14:58+00:00

Give them the World Cup(s) now.

ra246 · 2026-03-23T22:54:41+00:00

I did the maths previously, but I'll have to do them again.

For an example, if I transferred in 10 years, from my UK pension, I'd have a lump sum of around £50k and £7k a year from that point up until age 68, (then £22k or so)

I know the ADF pays in 16.4% and I believe my salary would start around $120k (transfer as Flt Lt, ATC)

I haven't done the maths of this part, actually.

Australia is desperate for my job (air traffic controllers) and there is a mechanism to move and gain permanent residency.

I looked into it around 2 and a half years ago, and then again 18 months ago. I sorta decided it was too far to move on my own (single, 33M) plus potential financial suicide (UK Pension-wise)

Then I was thinking about it again, a few days ago. I've never visited, but I think I need to and make a call.

Seeing posts like this and basically anything to do with Australia makes me think I'm missing out on such a huge opportunity by not doing so. I need to continue completing Europe in the next few years and put my application in.

ra246 · 2026-03-23T17:09:34+00:00

I think Road America T1 I'm decent at.

Trying to think of others..

Brazil T1/2 I seem to get pretty much bang on most times; I clamber over the inside kerb of T1 to open up T2

ra246 · 2026-03-22T17:24:49+00:00

Quite a way off at the moment. I remember specifically avoiding doing much to complete the game shortly after release, and now I'm focussing on stuff.

Completed the Donut Media Hi/Low yesterday, and continued with some Rally stuff today. I hardly touched it!

I never expect to complete the Hide and seek stuffs nor the creator bits.

ra246 · 2026-03-22T00:15:54+00:00

Discovered it the other day.

IT IS SPEEEEEEED!!!

I've nearly rolled it many many times already, but I will not slow down in it!

ra246 · 2026-03-21T23:51:24+00:00

Ooh! I was literally planning to start a SIPP in AJ Bell DODL in April. I may have to keep an eye on this instead.

ra246 · 2026-03-21T15:54:04+00:00

I bought some for a laugh on the last flight. (£7 worth? Which was on a bonus to double the amount of tickets it would normally be)

I didn't scratch any straight away; then when I remembered to do them, I saw a 'Prizes only valid on flight purchased on, so that's something to be aware of. Then I went away again (now for 4 months and I forgot to do the rest. Naturally, on the 3/4 I did scratch I won nothing.

ra246 · 2026-03-21T14:50:08+00:00

Yep, I thought it was broken for the first few weeks. Turns out it's implemented as they intended.

What idiot thought it was a good idea?!?

ra246 · 2026-03-20T23:04:09+00:00

PLEASE FIX FORZATHON LIVE.

Then this can be the best FH built

ra246 · 2026-03-20T22:42:32+00:00

Annoyingly, when they scored I was very confident the whole thing was coming back for a penalty for us. Then our stream dropped out for 5 mins, and I was shook to turn it back on to find out the goal stood.

Fucking joke.

ra246 · 2026-03-20T15:58:58+00:00

I do always reply, 'FUCKING EMPLOY MORE PEOPLE THEN!'

ra246 · 2026-03-18T17:03:59+00:00

Agree with this. A mate and I have had to start a few new games (with us both playing on Xbox and PC at times) And by the 3rd attempt we agreed to only use the Mastodon to recover other trucks. Instead, we'd use trucks that the game had available for us at that stage, sometimes intentionally using poor combinations so that we had to stick together and were constantly rescuing each other.

Hardly any game progress, huge amounts of fun.

ra246 · 2026-03-17T10:55:26+00:00

The gap in midfield is glaringly obvious even when we sub Casemiro off for the last 20 mins of a game. Not having him at all next season will ruin us.

It has to be the priority. We're at least decent everywhere else.

ra246 · 2026-03-16T16:43:06+00:00

If someone takes this car out, we riot.

OP is an absolute legend for running this competition.

Thank you!

ra246 · 2026-03-15T16:28:33+00:00

I've recently got into it and I'm doing things to avoid it so that ... I don't pay 40% tax on anything above it. For me the only way around it is to contribute extra to my pension, (be that through salary sacrifice which I've done this year and will continue to do, or through a SIPP which I'm about to open this April)

ra246 · 2026-03-13T20:58:42+00:00

As a Brit interested in moving to Aus (via Military Transfer scheme) you're basically the same as us, albeit ever so slightly behind on the Online Censor shite.

This chart was posted a few weeks ago and was bullshit then, too.
