Improvements
- An option for using the mouse to steer the truck. Such a feature is in Euro Truck 2009 and it allows for fluid steering for those who do not have a steering wheel or joystick. I have both and cannot seem to match the steering fluidity I have with the mouse while playing Euro Truck 2009, regardless of what is done with the settings. And using the keyboard for steering is not only frustrating, but is also tiring since minor corrections are constantly needed. (By the way, any helpful feedback in this area will be greatly appreciated. FYI: Both the steering wheel and joystick are inexpensive models--which is all I can afford--so I do realize that does have an affect.)
- An option to allow "Nick" to rest at truckstops without checking into the hotel. After all, what is the point of having a truck with a sleeper if the driver isn't going to use it?
- Have dispatch facilities located within the truckstops. From past experience, I know that some companies set up offices in truckstops. I don't know if this is still done in the real world, but it's an idea.
- Redo the cameras. A bumper cam should be introduced as well as a top cam. Moreover, I find having the camera move, while in the interior view, when turning the truck a bit annoying.
- Modify or eliminate having the truck automatically exit warehouses and service garages. Whenever exiting either of these facilities, the truck seems to be going almost full throttle before control is relinquished to the player. For example: when leaving the Oxnard warehouse, the Hwy 101 exits are so close to the gate, that the truck either goes part way onto the wrong exit or crashes into the sign post before the player takes control of the truck and can stop it.
- Lights. Unless I am missing something, the trucks only come equipped with a set of low-beam headlights, which are woefully inadequate for lighting the road at night. Most other trucking games have high-beams and/or fog lights, which are activated by pressing the light key (the 'L' key by default in most games) twice.
Others have covered pretty much everything else.
