Sunnyknight Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Reading comentsfrom people who play this game, it makes me more and more curious. @Sunnyknight, did you get it in the end? Yes. Installed... no. Castle story is tooooooo addicting @Rawns Also.... TALKING TO ME NOW ARE WE? lol
Sunnyknight Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I have a friend who is a 747 pilot and he is amazed that anybody chooses to sit at home simulating his job which he describes as very well paid boredom most of the time! I do enjoy a good combat flight simulator though because that at least has some action...I love my Spitfire... War thunder? Or world of warplanes?

I do enjoy a good combat flight simulator though because that at least has some action...I love my Spitfire... Only a few hardcore people play them seriously. The rest troll and make glitch videos of them breaking the game.
Sunnyknight Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Can recommend War Thunder. Its an EXACT copy of world of warplanes.... Only.... 100x biased towards russia and germans. Left it after a few patches they released to make rusdia planes 1 hit anything else.... even bombers >.>
hawc Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I have been playing Next Car Game for a long time!
Geoff Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Its an EXACT copy of world of warplanes.... Only.... 100x biased towards russia and germans. Left it after a few patches they released to make rusdia planes 1 hit anything else.... even bombers >.> They started with aircraft. Ground forces are in closed beta at the moment.
Sunnyknight Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 They started with aircraft. Ground forces are in closed beta at the moment. PFFFF! I swear to god @Geoff , tell me that isn't a rip of WoT? Seriously..... Plus, the only way you can easily progress throughout the game is with Real Money for some of the best Jets, and in this case, tanks no doubt. It's annoying to see that... and in a few years, just like the player base slowly died for about 6 months on World of Tanks, it'll die on the ground forces version. I loved it, and maybe i would come back to it, if it wasn't so gfdhgkjdhhieurycripowciowrucoie biased for Russians.
Geoff Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 yeah basically the same thing. But with planes flying about. Once they have ground forces working they will do naval.
rickjames Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 So, where did you all drive to this weekend?
featured_spectre Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Gdansk - Poland to Berlin - Germany to Hoek Van Holland - Netherlands to Harwich - England to London - England Made around £2000 for the trip after fuel, insurance, tax, etc
featured_spectre Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 yup. Stashed everything I made from all of my journeys over the week (made about 80 local(ish) trips at £300-£500 each), bought the truck sunday afternoon, much harder to get jobs with your own truck though.
featured_spectre Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I highly recommend that you reach at-least Level 7 before buying your own truck with 1 skill point in High value, Urgent Delivery and Fragile Cargo and at least 2 points in Long-distance driving. While you pursue these skills you should start getting 25-30 Km deliveries in Quick Missions. They add up really quickly and over 1 week you can save a lot of money. This is the stage when you can buy your own truck and establish your company, without getting drowned in installment and repair/fuel costs. If you dont have enough money yet go ahead a take the highest loan you can afford. This will allow you to expand your fleet early with more trucks. But be warned, the costs can bite back if you dont get enough drivers or money to pay back the loan Edited January 13, 2014 by featured_spectre
newpersn Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I got loan for 80k and got a truck. (just upgraded to uk spec) So far ive done just under 1000 miles and still got 1/2 tank of fuel. Im getting jobs alright. Im only level 3. Im getting between £3000-£5000 After a job. (not including anything else.) Where do you sort the insurance out? Ive not been outside of the UK much. My plans are to upgrade once i pay loan off.
TronXP Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I am obviously more of a trucker geek than you lot, I have 4 depots One in Manchester, Grimsby, Amsterdam and Paris, Two of them are 5 truck depots the others are 3 truck depots. All full with drivers\Trucks. Once a couple of depots the AI drivers start bringing in good money especially if once they level up. Just remember for the AI drivers it makes no difference on the spec of the truck. The other thing to remember with the AI is that they always must return to their home depot, so if you have a depot which has little cargo going to the city it can lead to more empty loads and more costs. When looking at buying a depot I have a look at the jobs screen and look at home many jobs destinations are to the city I want to put my depot in. Must admit I jumped into buying own truck pretty quickly after starting the game, and never had issues with paying back loans etc, I tend to arrange the jobs in value per distance and take the best job from that.
featured_spectre Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 If you have an accident, insurance will pop up. It is costly and done on a per job basis. (Atleast for me)
d0pefish Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 If you have an accident, insurance will pop up. It is costly and done on a per job basis. (Atleast for me) you mean like taking a curved slip road at 60mph and "slightly" nudging a car out the way as the trailer topples over. Is that the sort of thing you're on about? I've got my own truck, but at the moment am still doing the quick jobs to build up cash (to pay off the loan for now). Getting about 5-7k per job with level 3 fragile cargo.
Rawns Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Does this have online play? Sounds like it could be a fun arena for shenanigans, like driving on the wrong side of the road! game of chicken anyone?
featured_spectre Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I am level 9 right now, got 4 in fragile cargo, and a 3 in ADR. Been having fun transporting fuel as well.
d0pefish Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Does this have online play? Sounds like it could be a fun arena for shenanigans, like driving on the wrong side of the road! game of chicken anyone? Online it will be awesome. I've already done overtaking of cars at 60 on country roads and flashing full beams right up the ass of every driver. I just need the neon lights, some lowered suspension and a sub in the cab and I'll be the boyracer version of a trucker I do hope online lets you drive with trailers/cargo too. Will be great to just sneak up behind someone and nudge them

(computer is plugged in to the surround sound)

(computer is plugged in to the surround sound) As I mentioned above, just be careful on overtaking at 60 on a winding road.....the trailers do seem to have this silly habit of throwing themselves out.

Dont need telling that. mine like to slide off the road. (normally on slip roads (the ones that go round and down)
