Reading through this post makes me realize that I take this game way too seriously. I'm stunned by the amount of crashes, flip-overs and speeding tickets you guys seem to get.
Then again, you are the ones modding the game aswell.
It is sure fun, no doubt.
But it is interesting that you guys grab this SIMULATOR and mess around with it, instead of downloading/buying something that is less unreal and made for fun. To be honest I almost flipped my truck over for the first time today, but that was due to ignorance, and because I almost fell asleep (IRL). And it was at lvl 9, not 5 minutes into the game.
Someone shouted earlier "I Can't drive 55" (mph). My answer to that is: Have you ever driven a truck in real life? I have (Not a full semi, but a truck; I actually have a license) and I tell you: 50 mph is more than enough when fully loaded and you start to feel the truck leaning in the corners just to have the side-wind hit you real hard and your thoughts are: "I wonder what heaven will look like...". Just as a thought.
And you guys complaining about speeding tickets... Well if you do 145 km/h in a semi... What did you expect?
Now to the issues about this game: A part from the already mentioned NPC AI-quality the worst thing, in my humble opinion, is the lightning in this game. NPC Car lights don't do shit and the lights on your own truck is completely bonkers and wrong. If you've ever been blinded by a truck with just 4 extra lights on top of its roof you know that you are blinded like 500 yards away (if not even further). This game completely fails this aspect when loosing sight of cars just couple of hundred meters infront of you. And what worse is the first problem about the NPC; even though they have lights on, they suddenly just appear 100 - 200 meters in front of you, and if foggy or rainy that is reduced to < 80 meters. Kinda hard to brake then....
P.s. AI is unbelievable stupid: I was jamming up a crossing; my fault for sure, and I was blocking the road for people coming from left and right. Anyhow: I'm there, diagonally across the road, and from 100 meters away the NPC just keep on going straight into my semi. Fortunately I didn't get any fine for it, but still...
