In one of the repair shops (it changes every game) there is a rear-view camera that you can purchase that solves this issue. It's comes mounted on the HUD & Dashboard. This way you have an un-obstructed view behind you, and the lanes on both sides of the truck.

Thanks for the heads up.
 

OK...Thanks for the heads up.by the way...what do you think of the radio idea....check out the web site....they have every station that broadcast on the net....worldwide.just google ..MIT list of radio stations. you can search for stations by city,state,country,genre...etc.

It's a great idea, but I would rather see them fix the other major issues before tackling something like that. Truck physics, traffic-lights, stop-signs, pedestrians, crowded truck-stops, emergency vehicles, etc, etc. For now I just use the MP to play the songs I want without going through the game interface audios.

so
 

What about the Peterbuilts and Kenworths. In the game they're Hercules and Titan. Call the Volvo Volcano. If Paccar didnt pull its licenses why call there trucks Hercules and Titan, I dont understand. You could have put look-a-like Volvos, Macks, or Navistars Internationals in the game also. Same thing with the engines. Add transmissions.

My quote still stands. I don't know why they chose to call them what they did, but those trucks are now generic. you'll have to take that up with 1C & PACCAR. I just don't have an answer for you. There are look-a-likes to some of the trucks you listed.

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.

hi all
would be nice to have multiplayer but as it stands it is very addictive and fun game

I just got a idea from post #81 from Questions About Graphics, Videos & Video Cards. Because the in-game maps had some smaller views, we should do something about that. For example, make more land for every city like streets, department stores to pick up cargo like Toy R Us and Target, and more. It is not fair to have just the police station in Oxnard. That does not happen in real life. I hope that we can do all. If you have question, please contact me. I have a lots of plans for this game.

By the way, I like the multiplayer idea

The 'L' key is for low-beam & the Ctrl+L is for high-beam, and back to low-beam.
Also, what steering device do you have? Most problems with steering in this game can be fixed by going into the config file directly to over-ride the files in the game itself. I have posted them in the "Control Devices & Wheel Issues" thread HERE, and it seemed to help others. I use the Logitech G25 with pedals & shifter. Wheel Devices may differ, but generally this is where you need to go, because the in-game configurations tends not to save most changes, and reverts back to default. Don't ask me why.

These are only off what I would like to see and to make it as realistic as possible that was promised in all those letters on truckpol to the players if you remember that !!! The outcome off what the game is and what we expected is bit disapointing . Aldo I must say this game would be great as an MMO game maybe an future Idea......
But I step over it and injoy the game maybe there will be an expansion or an rig'n roll 4 as they would call it .
