Hi everyone, I have Euro Truck Simulator 2 (V1.32.3.7) and I run it in 64 Bit and I have compatibility mode set under Windows 7 and I run the .exe as an administrator.

I have noticed while driving around the London area I get FPS drops, and I also get them in Wales, specifically Porthmadog.

My PC's specifications are:

CPU: AMD FX 4300 Quad Core CPU at 3.8GHz.
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 270 2GB.
RAM: 16GB of DDR3 RAM at 1600MHz.
Motherboard: GiGABYTE GA78-LMT-USB3.0 (Rev 6.0).
HDD: 2TB Toshiba HDWD120 and 2TB Seagate Barracuda.
PSU: 550W.
OS: Windows 8.1 Professional 64 Bit.

I have ReShade (V3.1.1.243) installed and I have these two presets:

ETS2_Johndoe_SiCKX_fakeDX11_v5_RGM_FRKN64
Realistic Lighting 2 JBX v1.9.8 - FXAA ON

My Euro Truck Simulator 2 graphic settings are as follows.

Fullscreen mode enabled.
Brightness: (Half way).
Resolution: 1920 x 1080.
Refresh rate: 60Hz.
Vertical synchronization: enabled.

Advanced Graphical Settings.

Scaling: 400%.
Antialiasing (MLAA): Disabled.
High dynamic range (HDR): Enabled.
Depth of field (DOF): Disabled.
Sunshafts: Enabled.
Colour correction: Enabled.
Reflection detail: High.
Vegetation detail: High.
Grass density: High.
Shadow quality: Ultra.
Shadow texture size: High.
Weather quality: Ultra.
Mirror quality: High.
Mirror resolution: High.
Mirror distance: Ultra.
Texture quality: High.
Anisotropic filtering: Set to the highest position (to the right).
Normal maps: Enabled.
Traffic headlights: Enabled.
Secondary vehicle lights: Enabled.
Light visibility ranges: High.
Pedestrians: Enabled.

My mod load order is.

new_summer_v2_8. (New Summer Environment V2.8 By Grimes).
RGM_PromodsCompatibilityAddon_v1-5.
ETS2_RealisticGraphicsMod_2-1-4.
HDR_Fix___40_by_nIGhT-SoN__41_.
Skoda_SuperB_RS_Edgar_Edit_V6.
promods-def-st-v231. (ProMods Definition Package).
Real_European_Gas_Stations.(V1.2.1) (06-07-2018).
promods-map-v231. (ProMods Map Package).
promods-media-v231. (ProMods Media Package).
promods-model3-v231.(ProMods Models Package 3).
promods-model2-v231.(ProMods Models Package 2).
promods-model1-v231.(ProMods Models Package 1).
promods-assets-v231.(ProMods Assets Package).

My question is, which mods should I disable if I want better FPS's. Should I disable the realistic graphics mod and leave the new summer environment mod enabled? Which graphic settings can I adjust and turn down a little bit to increase my FPS's.

Note, the ''Real_European_Gas_Stations.(V1.2.1) (06-07-2018).'' This mod is for Euro Truck Simulator 2 (V1.31). It works on V1.32 with no issues at all.

Also now in Euro Truck Simulator 2 we can own trailers, I am curious as to how I can buy all of the trailers, there is a secion that let's be browse all of the trailers available for the game, I just want to know how I can choose and purchase any trailer I want as I noticed the section for buying trailers is limited.

Also does SiSL's Mega Pack work with Euro Truck Simulator 2 V1.32?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

400% scaling is very high, try reducing it. I think 400% is meant for truly exceptional computers. I usually run at 125%. Also, try reducing your ultra settings.
I think you are just trying to run it with settings that your computer can't handle.

Finally, I've heard in the past that real european gas stations is not compatible with Promods.

Ok, I will reduce some of the settings that are set to ultra, I'll set them to high or medium. And I will adjust the scaling down to 300% or 200%.

The Real European Gas Station's does actually work for me with no issues. Maybe because it only replaces the petrol station textures in the .jpg format I am guessing? I don't think it alters or changes any other files in ProMods.

Edit:
How can I get all of the trailers in the game i.e how can I purchase them, not all of them are available in the trailer browser.

That's because not all trailers are available to buy yet.

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.

Ah ok, thank you. I'm assuming that on a future update they will all be available?

I'm just guessing.
