I’d say a wheel is easier simply to do the long curves and lots of buttons for things. Though I’d imagine you can do it on a controller reasonably well. As for first objective, in the beginning you can only take paid jobs as you don’t have a truck of your own. You can either keep doing them to earn enough to get your own truck or you can take out a loan to do so. Once you have your own truck you can start taking your own jobs.

My logistics journey continues slowly but surely. I’ve fully paid off my initial loan so it leaves me with just ~£4.5k a day to pay in loans. So, with no help from crashing and speeding tickets, I’ve saved enough to buy my second garage. Though I don’t yet have the money to buy any trucks to fill the second garage 😄 Only need to save ~£200k for the trucks so shouldn’t take too long. I’ve fully ranked up the long distance and high value on my drivers so now ranking up their hazerdous materials. Hopefully, once everything is fully ranked up they will start earning some better money. Though £4-£5k a day total isn’t to be sniffed at but it’d be nice to earn a little more to help towards more trucks and garages.

I’m sorry to hear that, Logitech peripherals seem to so rarely break it’s some bad luck. As for recommendations, if you want console and PC support then you’re looking at Logitech again, Thrustmaster or Fanatec. There’s a massive difference in price between the 3 so it depends on your budget as there’s a massive price difference between them. I don’t think any are particularly over priced so basically get the one that fills your budget. You said you didn’t like the Logitech pedals, maybe look at Thrustmaster as they have some loadcells pedals which should be better without breaking the bank.

Mine is 56 too. The problem is running some of the hills, I think in to Grimsby, I start at 56mph but by the top I’m down to 15mph or so. Or joining a motorway, the tight turn on the slip meant I crawled up the slip at 6mph. So I know I can’t have a higher top speed but getting the minimum speed up would be nice.

Had a good night trucking yesterday. Earned about £35k though due to laon repayments, a few speeding tickets and a slight accident of rolling it and one with an immovable object I saw a net profit of about £6k 😆 Still, on Carl’s advice I took out the big loan, expanded my garage and now have 2 drivers for some passive income. They only earn about £1.5k a day for me but it’s creeping up as they gain experience. I think the next step for me is to do some truck upgrades or get a new truck as mineis painfully slow when towing heavy loads.

I know I’ve got the M4 in gold but not checked any other. I’ve just been levelling up each gun then moving on to the next but haven’t been checking camo’s.

So it turns out VR is great for driving but I still can’t back up and using the other camera angles is 🤮 So think I’ll actually stick to using a screen over VR.

How does it not recognise it when you have to point TB at the .exe 😕

Is ETS2 even on console? But it’s PC only as you have to link it to your Steam account to join on Truck book.

Nice one! I signed up to TB yesterday but will add myself to FG later. Let’s trucking do this!

That Trucks book looks quite good to be able to set up an FG conglomerate. Had a play at lunch time and got VR set up and working. I only drove around the block but works well and it's far easier driving through much harder when needing to use the keyboard for a shortcut. I also have to use a beta version so potentially would mess up if we want an online session but will have to test that when we're all online.

I'd like to apply to be an affiliate of FG Worldwide Company Name: Whorelidge Direct Headquarters - Brummie, UK (because best City 😄) Owner - @Greboth Favorite Truck - Iveco Stralis (It's the only one I own currently so default favorite) Slogan - Prices to satisfy all your needs @phil bottle I know I've got a different wheel but it set up easy on mine and I know Carl is using his G29 too. I did some googling the other day too and apparently with some tweaking, it's possible to get it working in VR too so I'll be trying that at some point 😄

Shocker that consuming something in massively excessive quantities is bad for.

It's easy enough to remember which is which but throws me at first glance until I remember which is which. Renaming would probably help but that's effort and I cba 😄

Only in the main menu does it show the correct gun. When selecting your class in game, each guns silhouette is the base gun. It’s rather annoying when you duplicate a class with a marksman rifle. Having one with iron sights and the other with a scope and not knowing which is which in game.

I can’t wait for hardcore to rank up the battle rifles. I don’t get why they made them so terrible. As the guns are, there’s space for the BR’s to fit in better than AR’s at range but not so good as snipers. Yet the recoil puts them about as good as SMG’s.

You really should, the default settings are (were) nowhere near the recommend ones in that article and it looks so much better. If nothing else, you definitely should look up the game settings as, like most modern TV's, the default is to have all the motion smoothing, sharpening etc. on which ruins response time.

Same TV that I have. I can’t say I’ve noticed the extra fps really but the HDR is fantastic when watching Prime/Netflix. When are you taking delivery of it? Assuming you don’t have any calibration equipment, there’s some good recommended setting here: LG C2 OLED Calibration Settings - RTINGS.com WWW.RTINGS.COM

Well apart from the breach of the cost cap. It’s a shame, Max is fast and well deserved this year but again, through no fault of his own, his championship this year has another asterisk against it. We’ll never know how much was spent on this years car so there’ll always be some doubt. Ignoring that though Max would have probably won it anyway thanks to Ferrari’s mid season “strategy” and somehow being absoutely nowhere as we approach the end of the season. Merc look like they’ve found some pace now though and apparently know what’s wrong with their car. So maybe we can actually have a 3 way fight next year.

Thanks for updating the table, it's good to see where we all stand 🙂 I'm happy to miss next week as the TV I'll be bringing is the one off my rig. So it means I could take off the frame while I'm off on Thursday rather than needing to rush Friday morning. It's things like this that make me think you race like I do by being more competitive when you're not thinking about driving. As the more you practise the more you seem to think about it and cock it up. Whatever though, it's great to see you topping the table and fighting for podiums most weeks 🙂

I’m going to post this ignoring the partying up and regular crashing bugs. They really shouldn’t be in a game of this size but hopefully they can be patched quickly and they don’t really effect gameplay. So let’s start with the bad as we all like a good moan. - Maps, or more specifically the border crossing map. It has to be contender for the worst CoD map ever made. - Gun customisation is just a mess and over complicated. Why do I need to level up a battle rifle to get a scope for the M4? - Talking about a mess and over complicated the UI definitely makes the bad list for me. Why when starting a match do I press triangle to look at the gamemodes selected but then have to press square to change? Why doesn’t triangle take you straight in to the gamemode selection? and that is assuming you somehow noticed from the prompt to press triangle at top left corner to the prompt to press squaee in the bottom corner. Or why are camo’s in the gunsmith? I kinda get why but it the extra steps seems unnecessary when you’re going to look in there regularly for challanges and progress. - I still don’t like the perk system in this but guess we’re stuck with it That’s enough morning for me though so the good. - Maps, outside of the border crossing, are good in my opinion. - Guns so far seem well balanced and nothing stands out as being too OP. I’d also add that guns feel different too. Some previous CoD’s smg’s have had such range and accuracy they made AR’s redundant. But this has the balance of different guns being best in different situations and ranges. Movement - I like the movement and so far there seems to have been a huge reduction in jumpy slidey around corner twats. Whether that will change as SBMM kicks in more we shall see but first impressions are positive.

Reading about this on other discussion boards, quite a few people said they were already using ExtremeRate back buttons. So I thought I’d give them a go and so far so good. If you want to be able use L3/R3 or the touchpad button on the back buttons you need to do some soldering. Otherwise it’s basically disassemble the controller, replace a couple of ribbon cables and put it back together with their back on. I went for the 2 button version as only really care about jump and duck being. I fitted it yesterday in about 40 mins and only tested everything works but so far so good.

I was only thinking the other day while playing OW2 that I miss my back buttons. But that price is steep!!! Though it could be worth it in the long term. I went through 6 ps4 controllers and all went in the bin due to stick issues. If I could have spent £20 on new sticks rather than £60 a controller, it would have saved me £240. So suddenly the price, along with the extra features, doesn’t seem so bad.

I was really looking forward to it and was ready to pick it up but the mediocre reviews and issues put me off. With 20% it might be worth getting though.

The kinda is actually. Once you’ve done enough to unlock sport mode. If you enter a Gr3 race you can choose rent a car. Which will allow you to pick any Gr3 car. It’s not ideal as if you try out a bad car it can hurt your DR rating. So it depend you care about that.
