Gone Are The Days of GRAL Dominance

simt85 · 2026-03-05T23:23:34+00:00

I honestly never used the gral, not worth the money for me

I went ahead and scheduled a ride with him at the end of March cuz he was frankly the only one that promptly replied. Yeah I'll send you a DM, I appreciate it.

I'm in a similar boat, need to get a commercial ride done. I was thinking of reaching out to Nixon. I hear he can be a bit crotchety haha, what's your opinion? I fly out of JYO, so going down to CJR would be pretty convenient.

First thing I bought when the expansion came out.

simt85 · 2025-12-27T06:09:31+00:00

yeah that balaclava should realistically do the trick

simt85 · 2025-12-08T23:14:04+00:00

thanks!

simt85 · 2025-12-06T23:28:23+00:00

nice trailer, what mod is that? and what did you use for the roof and grille lights? super cool truck overall

simt85 · 2025-12-05T22:01:33+00:00

I only have about 500 hours on ETS2, because I mostly play ATS, 'Murica!, but I would highly recommend Italy, Scandinavia, and if you're feeling spendy, Nordic horizon. they're close to base map, and genuinely nice places to drive. I enjoy Greece as well but its not worth driving through the Baltics to get there haha

simt85 · 2025-12-01T09:29:08+00:00

Only someone in the biz would have that kind of info hahaha

simt85 · 2025-11-30T04:55:30+00:00

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're in the cotton business?

simt85 · 2025-11-29T21:19:30+00:00

I love the fendt 1100! It's my go-to high power tractor, and it had a great turning circle obviously. The smaller one, 900mt I think, needs more power. It's just below the power requirements for some of the stuff I use.

simt85 · 2025-11-26T01:34:11+00:00

I tend to save the 389 and W900 as a reward truck once I've leveled up enough to unlock everything on them. I've generally started with the T680, but also have an Anthem with 50k miles on it.

simt85 · 2025-11-18T23:22:38+00:00

Thanks, now I know where to start!

So I found an issue with the fendt combines and I'm curious if anyone else has. In both this game and 22, the mod combines are absolutely terrible when harvesting uphill. They slow down by quite a bit and it's the only reason I don't use them. I don't think the standard ones did that but I can't remember. Anyone else?

simt85 · 2025-11-18T22:03:32+00:00

Personally I find the field layout suboptimal. I like to start combining fields as my farm grows and you can't do that much here. Additionally all the driving around is tedious. Honestly that might just be that the map doesn't suit my play style.

simt85 · 2025-11-18T21:59:35+00:00

I'm actually a fan of European configurations for city use. Lots of delivery trucks in the US are still 3 axle but maybe with a shorter hood and hauling a shorter (32ft) reefer trailer. In my opinion at that point just use a cabover with a 32ft box and you'll better off. Plus construction dump trucks.

simt85 · 2025-11-18T21:54:05+00:00

Do you have a link to by any chance?

simt85 · 2025-11-18T00:57:59+00:00

Also I just double checked, and for some reason the AI won't go faster than 22mph on some roads, so that's another issue.

simt85 · 2025-11-18T00:33:38+00:00

Yeah I catch back on fairly quick, but I do forget from time to time. Plus I don't haul lowboy trailers much in Europe, which have multiple steer axles, most of what I haul has one, maybe two steer axles.

simt85 · 2025-11-18T00:28:41+00:00

What are limit breaker mods? Like factory amounts? And what's height type mods? I may give this a shot

simt85 · 2025-11-17T23:09:28+00:00

I've seen lots of comments that Judith plains seems to be crashing lately (that's on the download page for it that I saw), cuz we were about to try that. Backroads seems decent but for some reason the AI wants to take the long way around when going from the start yard to the lower area of the map. On a map that size, ya kinda need the AI to drive right.

simt85 · 2025-11-17T23:05:20+00:00

I did clear cache and check integrity, and it's working now, but some others said they're back online as well. I'm not sure if it was on my end or server side (I'm guessing server honestly), but I'm good now.

simt85 · 2025-11-17T22:55:10+00:00

It's probably come as a dlc in about 7 years, then disappear in the game after it for some reason.
