Compete in Scania Truck Driving Simulator this wee.Get behind the wheel of one of the most iconic trucks on the road with this highly detailed Scania R-series truck simulation by SCS Software, developers of Euro Truck Simulator 2.(auto gears with forward/reverse and keyboard used rather than wheel/peddles with clutch) It’s almost as if all the weight of the gooseneck container trailer is entirely over the trailer axels (irrespective of container type 20ft, 2 x20ft, 30ft, 40ft) which is why road gradient change (typically transitioning from flat to down hill) while turning on slight bends unloads the rear axle of the R380 momentarily causing jack-knife, or why sharper bends on the flat cause the R380 rear suspension to dip when towing a gooseneck container trailer due to the lack of pre-loading.Ī short video showing the gooseneck container trailer & R380 losing grip/stopping on the slightest gravel/dirt gradient or “bump” vs. Yes, loss of grip in inopportune places with the gooseneck container trailer & R380 is another problem where the slightest gravel/dirt hill or “bump” is concerned, it happens both at the start of the dirt road to the logging camp and at the eastern road works on the dual carriageway where the dirt slip-road leads to the upper normal road, you can also come to a stop on the “speed bump” between the dual carriageway & dirt slip-road. Personally myself I think they sit to low for either steel or air suspension, and if air suspension should level up a bit more to get a more constant height between loaded/unloaded like in STDS (excepting the gooseneck/R380 combination which is backwards although it does self-level!) Delete Its worth noting that in STDS there is some discrepancy between the gooseneck (container) trailer and the Scania R380 suspension, which when the two are connected causes the r380 suspension to rise up to meet the 5th wheel height, whereas on all the other trailers the suspension drops on the R380, this leads to the R380 & gooseneck trailer to be an unstable combination due to overly soft suspension with long travel which leads to jack-knife in unusual situations. driving of a kerb diagonally, whereas in real life ~50% of the kerb height would be accommodated with the chassis twist. There is a fundamental to remember, there is NO chassis twist in game so the suspension dose 100% of movement e.g. loading rather than infinitely adjustable between two points while moving, as if you bottom the suspension out you are talking large forces when moving. load.Īlso with trucks on air, you can normally change the ride height, though this is normal a case of being limited to up/down when stationary for e.g. If it was steel suspension then you expect them to sit low on the rear when loaded (though not that low) and high when unloaded as there is no self-levelling, if they are mimicking air suspension then sitting low would be indicative of some form of failure in the self-levelling system, as air suspension can only function well with a self-levelling system to change the pressure in the bellows vs. The new parts of the world are marked in green. How much bigger is the map you may ask? Check for yourself on the picture below.
If you still don't have an account on the game's official website, now is the time! -)įor the next patch, the one we are preparing only after this competition is over, we are finally going to bring you the extension of the free driving map. (But remember - play fair, cheaters will be banned instead!) The tougher one will be used for our competition - the best 3 results in the Leaderboards as of Sunday Aug 5th 22:00 CET will be rewarded by a free digital copy of Euro Truck Simulator 2 - on the day when the game is released.
This Friday, we'll release a new patch for Scania TDS which will contain 2 new Dangerous Drives challenges.
We did not expect to have go through 10 testing versions of a new patch of Scania Truck Driving Simulator, but it turned out to be needed so that we can give you as much solid update as possible. Finally the little competition we have promised you a while ago is coming this week.
