 Steam's "Summer Sale" is on and I just couldn't resist this package. For about AUS$15.00 (for the first bundle, not the single game itself) I am now (using the Aussie vernacular) a "truckie"!  At this time of posting I've only made one delivery...ended up misreading the GPS and took a wrong off-ramp on a motorway (I'm UK-based) but other than that everything went okay. The game is very well presented and has overwhelming approval from users. Lots of mods...LOTS! Sure makes a change from trains 'n' planes!

Welcome aboard Bruce.....it's very addictive. (smile) I don't have it installed currently.....when I got my new computer, I just haven't put everything back on this machine. But yes.....I enjoyed the game very much!!

But yes.....I enjoyed the game very much!! Cheers, It is indeed, Steve. I also find it quite relaxing.....it has a similar affect to flying a virtual aircraft on a trip across country, with the only hassle being the parking the trailer on arrival. I also had a stuff-up on arrival in France, driving on the LH side instead of the RH side of the road!! For fifteen bucks it's good entertainment, for sure. |

I pulled down the demo of the first version a while ago and found it quite pleasant and relaxing. I was too miserly to actually buy it, but I might be tempted with this one.

..... with the only hassle being the parking the trailer on arrival. After many hours of driving, I became quite good at whipping that trailer around were I needed it. (smile) Hmm....might have to reinstall the game and dig my steering wheel out of the closet. Cheers, |

After many hours of driving, I became quite good at whipping that trailer around were I needed it. (smile) I'm working my way up to trying proper parking, Steve. At the moment I am opting for the second choice...parking in the allocated space in the yard. I did a trip to Rotterdam this afternoon, from Manchester, and had the new experience of having to pull over for a rest-stop. Also booked for speeding! |

Yes indeed.....I always looked for the VERY long trips myself and I too got pinched for speeding on more than one occasion. I can't remember which stretch of road....but one road had a lot of curves and a LOT of very slow traffic.....I hated it!! (smile)
Cheers,
