Fleetwood Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 About to embark on this... god help me haha. £34k in it though!
featured_spectre Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Good luck...dont flip...oh and accept my trades
d0pefish Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 i'm on a 67k run at the mo, about 1300 miles. be glad when i'm out of the uk and can put my foot down
featured_spectre Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 UK always messes me up. I drive in Europe almost all the time and try to actively miss the UK runs. But the companies offer large amounts for me to take things from the far east of Europe to the limits of the UK (Cardiff, Manchester, etc)
newpersn Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Wow, im still on 14k runs but only doing 300miles mostly
featured_spectre Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I plan to just roam the UK at one point, and have all of the roads done, just because! lol

But the companies offer large amounts for me to take things from the far east of Europe to the limits of the UK (Cardiff, Manchester, etc) yep this job is aberdeen to europe, so i have to do the windy scottish roads before i can get on proper motorways.
featured_spectre Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I like doing Aberdeen to anywhere in scotland. Its a good road to test your skills especially with the traffic mod.
CAM Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I am UK based with a right-hand truck for maximum hilarity. Got to guess KPH speed, remember to drive on the right and considering removing the left HUD mirror for more difficulty.

Got to guess KPH speed, remember to drive on the right and considering removing the left HUD mirror for more difficulty. Same here, This is what i work off if in the EU 50kmh = 30mph 70kmh = 50mph 100kmh = 62mph 110kmh = 70mph
featured_spectre Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Kph is so much easier...if it is 70 miles an hour, just divide by 5 (14) then multiply by 8 (112). For kph to mph, its a bit harder as they dont divide quite so well (EG 110 doesnt divide by 8 easily)
Fleetwood Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Neph, what are those trading cards? I've never even bothered looking at them, they seem useless.. Anyway; Mission accomplished.. ish. 35% damage to the trailer, serves me right for turning the speed limiter off still got a nice amount of cash and XP though I downloaded some brilliant mods this morning so it's made the game a lot more exciting now. Now to get some grub in me, get some snacks for the route and prepare for this!
featured_spectre Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 The trading cards aren't massively fantastic, just like having them on my profile! lol. Feel free to accept all trades. lol
featured_spectre Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I ended up turning off my expanded map mods. They caused me to lag a little. Just got standard and Go East expansion
newpersn Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 may have to look at map packs on steam... Once i explored this one first...
featured_spectre Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 going east is the only one thats from the game devs itself, however they are (apparently) going to be doing one that expands into Scandinavia, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Other areas of Europe.
Griff Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Think they might throw snow and ice into the mix at some point?
newpersn Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 They could of done the road to real life. The M4/M5 are a little off... Its 1 big junction.. not 2 about mile away from each other..
featured_spectre Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I hope so, and hope they keep in with the actual calendar (IE Snow and Ice between November 15th and February 15th) lol
