Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

It's the circle of trucking life.

This type of trailers also existed with normal curtainsider top.

Somebody used more simple solution with adding the fuel tank to flatbeds, although... I don’t think this trailer is very safe due to high center of gravity.

(reminds me of those early aircraft carriers like IJN Akagi, made by attaching the flight deck to the battlecruiser )

Yes, more Peterbilt Scania Forum content .

What even is this thing?  There is no way that is legal in the States.  Assuming by the bars on the bottom and the tree's, this doesn't appear to be in the USA though, despite having a US truck.

I can see danger is the tanks are filled with liquid and raised, that seems very dangerous.  But if they are empty it might be okay...?  But it also seems like a waste to have empty tanks... unless this is like a return haul with no liquid and some bulk material instead.

EDIT: I found their website.  Yeah, definitely not a US thing.  But they are working on patents and trails in many countries, including the US.

Interesting.

^Oh, thanks for the link. I just have seen the photo in a trucker media without detailed research, but the FAQ chapter on the site explains it all: when the tank is full, it lies on the flatbed, and when the tank is empty, the in-built hydraulic jack lifts it to the top position and the flatbed is used for other cargoes. That’s why these products are named ReturnHauler instead of ComboHauler .

This is where our tanks are filled

(SCS Twitter page with video)

For a long time we had only Gallon Oil and Chemso as a source of hazardous liquid cargoes, and Texas will have four companies of that type — Syntetico, Petrolucent, Vortex and Deep Wells (don’t confuse with Dry Wells from New Vegas ). I wonder will they be Texas-exclusive, or will they spread on the whole map, sometimes even replacing the older bases like Mon Coeur replaced some bases of Darchelle Uzau?

[Bumble]

When they create new companies, so they eventually add them throughout the old maps?

Nice!  Deliveries involving tanks often give you a lot more money!  Competing petrol companies!

PSF Trucking Photo Challenge 1.0 [OCTOBER]



For the entire month of October, you have the opportunity to take the photography challenge.  This month's challenge is you must take a photo of your truck and a train locomotive/train cars/tram/light rail/trolley!  Your truck must be in the photo.  This is for American Truck Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator 2.  At the end of the month, we will determine a winner for our first PSF Trucking Photo Challenge.  Good luck participants.  Simple @Smiles2us the photo you want me to see.

Have fun and remember to stop and look both way at train crossings!

[Silverwing]

^ I did not expect this to happen!  I am very happy.

[timmelon]

Wow, that’s really unexpectable .

[MasterXtreme]

Way to go, Smiles!  Embracing the TRUE meaning to this forum; Trucking simulators! 

[timmelon]

Hmm... I see when is a need to make a photo with a rail transport, it’s not very eager to appear.
So, there is a solution: carry your own locomotive! (Well, the trams are present on these screenshots to correspond @Smiles2us requirements ) Unlike Frog/Tough cars, it’s licensed and looks just like real!

After some search, I found one train. And just look at these laughably small mirrors!

[Anyponedrawn]

There we go!!! We got some of the first photos!!!   I like that last photo.

But that second one has a locomotive AND a tram!

[timmelon]

But that second one has a locomotive AND a tram!

The same with the first one .

[Grapefoot]

I like the third one best.

[timmelon]

I like how they made M62 locomotive in one of its authentic paintscheme.

Although the game has its version with buffer-and-chain instead of autocoupler. This solution is more popular in Poland, where the paintschemes are totally different.
