60% off Euro Truck Simulator 2 this week on steam. I got it for £6 , on humble its £18

Ive been playing a while now, and by eck its a great sim, its realistic driving just what you would experience on the road. I didn't know if something this graphically good would run on my older PC as its about 3 years old, but I decided at £6 Id risk it, and I never looked back.

do your self a favour and have a look

It's got a decent multiplayer community if you haven't been there.
The Stobart VTC is a friendly and mature team to drive with.

How does MP work? I've need driving solo.

I have enjoyed ETS II very much. The American version? Not so much. In an effort to shorten the distances between cities, the US version has a ratio about 25% less than Europe. Thus, for every 100km you drive in Europe, that would be about 125 km in America. Not a big fan of this...they should keep the ratio the same, or make it even slower. If you want to drive from San Diego to Oregon, that is about a thousand KM..and it should take awhile!

No, nothing. I just like the sound of it.

ETS2 doesn't have an inbuilt multiplayer, it's a mod that can be found at the above link. I think you need to have a couple of hours single player going before you can access MP.

I'm not keen on the utterly unrealistic time for travelling distance, but that might be because I am used to the time distance takes when I fly my flight sim. With my flight sim I fly with FSEconomy, it's a multiuser system whereby you can rent aircraft, take passenger and cargo contracts...great stuff.
