90Km/h are not allowed for trucks hauling heavy load ( as in your first screenshot) in real life so you shall stick to 70-80 km/h ;)

I know but I was going against the limiter so that's why my speed was 90 KPH. I know that too that ETS don't remind us about those IRL limits, but that crash as seen on the 1st pic was funny few seconds after taking the shot coz that Volvo was inside its trailer :D

More shots from today's journey's :)

Firstly I took new job from Calais to Lorient, both cities in France, got good shots from the journey though it wasn't the best one I could get.

This is the load, 12 tons of Neon gas.

Few countryside shots

Then I almost ran out of diesel, so I refueled and had little discussion with fellow Scania driver. He was hauling cement to North-West part of France.
Image

Good shot, overtaking a Volvo this time, which was a success :)
Image

I founds some tollbooths on my way and this poor AI Renault driver did P.I.T. on it's own at right hand side corner of my Scania and he just flipped on it's roof and busted that open box van too, sadly.

Just got a new load, two Deutz-Fahr telescopic forklifts that needed transportation to Helsinki, so I guess I'm going to have a really long trip, 3 000 km's!

Image

This load fits perfectly on those French roundabouts :D that wasn't even bad, seen worse...
Image

Never get bored of taking nice shots of my truck :P
Image

Umm, few cows and eh, too short safety distance??
Image

This roadwork never dies :D :mrgreen: :lol:

Nice screens. Does your graphic setting really need to be that low? I thought my PC would barely run ETS2 but it's fine.

Thanks m8!

Unfortunately they need to keep it at playable level for me (8 yr old laptop) so, well, you know...

I think I've said earlier that I can change the graphic setting to Medium to take screens (It won't bother me at all), the reason they're at all LOW is because i take screens every few minutes so it's kinda annoying to change it that rapidly.. Even at graphic settings at LOW it will lag heck of a lot..

P. S. Scania trip meter says that I've driven 11 629 km's!

Ah fair enough, mine's just 18 months old, but has Intel HD Graphics, so I'm amazed yours runs to be honest!

Nice, keep it up! I have a red Scania on over 100,000km (not all my mileage, unfortunately) but it's still pride of place in my garage as it was my first truck (featured here )

As said before so many times, this 8 year old laptop so it either handles the graphical improvements or not, graphic card driver updates won't install due to incompatibility (that would have changed the situation).

I've just downloaded Improved Graphic v5 mod to see if it will help me out.

Nope, he was slowing down and I was going PTTM so I just passed 'em :lol: speed was like 130 km/h (disabled the limiter, once again)

And thanks m8!

More screens coming today, so stay tuned...
