anyway I am waiting for my newcomputer now so I can continue playing, it sucks to play with lowest graphics and hardly any traffic

I have traffic set to max and I've never seen any of the parking lots full. Am I missing something? I think bringing more life to the game would be adding traffic lights. I can't believe traffic lights were left out completely. I'm also hoping more cities and possibly more states added as well as toll roads. I wonder if the roads that you see that are closed, will they eventually be open so we can travel on them.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

As Lolsmurf, a few others, and I have stated, this portion of the game depends on if your computer can handle it. Speaking for myself though, when I have everything set to max including the difficulty level, I have seen increased activity in some (not all) of the truck stops. So I don't believe you're doing anything wrong. It's just a matter of what your computer can handle.

As for the traffic lights, roads, and pedestrians, I think we all could agree with you on that one, and has been discussed at length before. In-fact, it's one of the top issues of game improvements throughout this forum. So, you're not alone here. In my opinion if these, and the trailer physics were polished, and added, this game would easily surpass any other trucking game on the market.

I always wanted to try changing the traffic setting too. But I am a little worry that changing the traffic setting will send me back to day 1 in the game. Is that possible?

If I'm not mistaken, you can set traffic at anytime, and it wont upset your saved games.

In the company I work, I've set everything to max and still haven't activity in truck stops... The computers there are very good, take a look:

I can't answer why some computers can, and some can't. Also as I stated before, the activity in Truck Stops are only in some, not all, and I can't remember which ones, as I no longer play on high traffic settings. I just don't like it.

Since you're a trucker I wanted to ask you how realistic is the game in terms of physics. thanks in advance

[TruckerNL]

Sorry for the late response i had i load or three to do here in holland so was bussy with work .

You ask about realisim well never been in LA but pics looks great and driving realisim from the truck not by a longshot ! but then again no truck sim is doing a real shot to the real driving.

But i have to add PTTM came prety close to the real deal....

But I play the game for fun not for realisim let that be clear. and im living in 2011 and i believe the truck game plays in the near future....
