  1. Do not question this video. Just bear in mind that today's Friday.

     

  2. Here we go. It's up. I am fairly certain this person is using a speed hack. That acceleration seems abnormally quick. Even for a Volvo.

     

  3. I have strong reasons to believe I have just caught someone using a speed hack on ETS2. Evidence is being uploaded, right now.

  4. What I think when I'm on ETS2 or ATS and I hear someone honking for no actual reason:

     

  5. Oh yeah. It looks much better, now. :)

    Not gonna bother with changing how Explorer looks, though. It can be done and I know the means to do it. Just don't want to bother with it.

      The application is Rainmeter. You can find all kinds of stuff to add to your desktop with it. Takes a little bit of time to learn how to use it well and it takes up bit RAM, but I would say it's worth it.

      Install it and go to their DeviantArt gallery to find skins.

      i'll just keep my windows 8 :P really don't want 10 :rolleyes::unsure:

  6. Welp... been playing around with making Windows 10 look more like Windows 7 for the past three hours and I think I just broke it completely. lol

    But it's ok. It's just a VM and I have a snapshot. ;)

      Same here mate had to format the weekend still trying to make it look like win7 haha seems a lot smoother tho :D

  7. A friend gifted me Yooka Laylee on Steam a couple days ago. I'm enjoying it quite a lot! It's a fun game. :) My one and only complaint so far, which also seem to be the major complaint of most, is the camera.

    They could have done a better job with it or at least have added the possibility to control it manually if the player so desire. It can be played with keyboard and mouse and with a controller on the PC. I'm using a controller and that right analog stick could very well be used to control the camera manually like most other games of the genre do. But as it is for now, the right analog stick does absolutely nothing and cannot even be set to do something. At least the camera is not too bad. *shrugs*

  8. I just finished a delivery to a town in France (DLC region) and I gotta say... if it wasn't for the fact that people speak French, the signs are all in French and it's full of French cars, I'd live there. It's so pretty!

      @LordBenji 

      Français : Les péages et les carrefours giratoires en France sont très présents, c'est vrai. Et nous avons des paysages variés magnifique, je suis d'accord.

      English : Tolls and roundabouts in France are very present, it is true. And we have a lot of different beautiful scenery, I agree with you. ;)

      I'm lucky to live near France and also speaking French xd

  9. Today's Saturday and I am installing Windows in a Windows that is running in Windows. :I

    Z7Y9lD7.png

     

    In other words... I'm installing Windows 98 under Windows 2000 while it runs under Windows 7. And it's fun.

    1. DerAmpelmann

      DerAmpelmann

      Riiiiiiight... Are you running the Windows 2000, cuz you couldn't get the 98 running under Windows 7 just for fun or the 98 under 2000 too just for fun.

  10. So, about that performance test video I plan on making. I've already selected a few trucks, all with similar specs of my choice and right now I was planning the tests. The following are what I came up with:

     

    - Acceleration time (0 to 100 KM/h in ?? seconds);

    - Top speed;

    - 90° cornering at 50KM/h;

    - 90° cornering at 80KM/h;

    - 90° cornering at 100KM/h;

     

    Am I missing anything?

      Is this for that race mike? if you know the track layout cant u turn traffic off on sp and set some times to compare them?would give you a better ideal of handling etc

    3. LordBenji

      LordBenji

      Braking can be adjusted... For testing ideas, maybe like lap time (times 3) at a certain location of your choice.

      I am only using default settings, @LordBenji.

       

      Nobody knows what the route will be, @stilldre1976. Elite will only announce the starting point and finishing point close to the day of the race and then the racers will have to decide their own route.

       

      I included braking time, @PrototypeGR. Thanks!

  11. So I bought a second monitor. Simple stuff, though. LED, 18.5' and only a single VGA connector. No HDMI or anything. I bought it mostly for work so I can work on a client's computer (whenever I have one over for maintenance) and keep doing my stuff on my own while still being able to see what is going on with the other PC without having to switch display modes on my current monitor. A second screen will be really practical for me work-wise. And when I'm not using it for work, I can simply hook it to my own PC and get some extra space to work with.

     

    Say for instance... I want to play with a VM while watching a video on YouTube. I can have the VM in a screen and the browser in another so they won't overlap and block my sight. :D Well, you know well how a dual screen setup works. lol

     

    Now I'll just need to buy a active displayport to VGA adapter and figure out how to "install" the new screen above my current one. That bit's gonna be tricky. :\

      Prob have to get a monitor arm

  12. Friday's coming and the best part is that it's gonna be a holiday for me so no work on Friday! :D

      I've had a mini holiday this whole week. (I say mini holiday, but it really isn't. Been sick the whole week :(

  13. Good thing a fix for MP is being worked on. I just tried the latest update and MP crashed so hard, but SO hard, that my whole computer froze, leaving me no alternative but to force a reboot/shutdown. Though it crashed SO hard that not even the Reset button on the computer case would respond. I had to unplug the thing from the power. O__o

  14. ATS and ETS2 just updated. But so did MP! :D

     

    Me when I saw MP updated:

      Couldn't play all night cause my game was out of date. So right when I'm about to go to sleep, it updates :/ lol

  15. Really gotta love SCS and ATS. XD

     

    I'm looking forward to this new update!

      I'll actually be disappointed if there is no aliens in it :rolleyes::unsure:

  17. You know what? That post I made a few hours ago in which I do a short and simple performance analysis of a Volvo FH16 and a Scania Streamline, both with specific and identical specs... I should probably make a little video out of it. And obviously, include a couple more trucks and chassis combinations.

      Would be awesome to look at! Look forward to it! :lol:

      Tires can affect performance, type, wear... Chassis, Transmission, automatic or manual, rain, terrain. Lots of factors.

  18. I hardly ever make any thread here on the forums. But I just made one and you might be interested.

      Mercedes? What is that? Is that a food?

       

       

       

       

      Joking. :P Alright, I will run the same tests on a Merc later and maybe update the thread with the results. Or just post it in a status. I'll see. Not because you asked, but just because I also like the New Actros. :)

      Only those who don't understand the purpose of the post and want to fight will get into an argument over this. And that would be silly.

      Only in Russia I assume..

      No, I do not insult Russians with this, I love Russia!

  20. Yay! I made it into the commemorative racing event. :D And it looks like I'll be competing against @Blazie and @Kravatie on Group 6! Good luck, us! :D I hope none of us will tip over and/or take so much damage that the truck dies.

     

    I haven't driven any Volvo for at least two or three years. Soon it will be time to see what this beast can do under my command!

    Well, hopefully not something like this. lol

     

  21. Mistakes have been made.

      I remember seeing it for sale on stores many years ago. Always thought it looked cool and I still do. Though it's so hard to find one for sale, these. :( Let alone one that's in good working condition and well preserved. The only one I found is costing a rather considerable amount of ca$h. :(
