Lockdown 2020: We Be Truckin'! 06/16/2020

@alex this might help with getting your controller working better for driving. I haven't tried it yet, so I have no idea.

thank you for these streams if not for solely the radio...

we be chillin with Euro radio

Is it just me or was that a weird version of Sweet Dreams?

bOPS AND HITs

That french song coming on while driving into France was almost poetic. When you get tired of russian faux hip-hop I found a french metal station but can't remember what it was called. It should be easy to find under genre and I'm guessing they play Gojira once in a while?

Couple of hopefully helpful tips:

• You can upgrade your engine depending on your level so expensive trucks are mostly the same as the base level for that brand with full upgrades. Renault has some okay upgrades in the low levels but I think Volvo is the ultimate HP king of the high levels.
• Don't sell your old truck if you buy a new one but hire another driver to make you money in that truck if you have a garage that can fit several trucks.
• If you sort the jobs available by price/distance (€/km) you can maximize your profits and that's what capitalism is all about?
• If you have a low power engine try to only take on jobs for trailers with 25t or less because some inclines are really tiresome if you can only go about 50 km/h.
• Sleep between jobs (almost always a garage and parking lot in a city) so there is less risk of being late

Keep on truckin' Alex!

Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan need to make a new HBO series where the AI-controlled traffic in a truck simulator videogame are indeed "computers", but they also have interior thoughts, dreams, and emotions.

Would really make us all think, ya know?

@alex if no one told you in chat, that was indeed Jane's Addiction, off their album Strays from 2003.
