Tandems would have been more suitable for ETS 2, but these doubles are still better than nothing as i can already feel the challenge of reversing them into the parking spot... Reversing is the easy part.... its the opposite to just a semi trailer.... providing you dont swing to much on the steering wheel, the way you turn your wheels, is the way the rear trailer will go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone that played the old 18 Wheels of Steel games might know what i am talking about. You are right, that the rear trailer goes to the same direction your wheels are steering towards, but the tricky part actually is that the front trailer is heading for the opposite direction in the meantime, meaning reversing precisely can become quite a torture. But maybe SCS will come up with something that makes parking these things a bit easier, but back in the day reversing the doubles really took some time and patience... 2 Visit us on stvtc.co.uk or join our Discord-channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Double trailer with heavy cargo load 2 Regards Prime Service & Data Analyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealKDM Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I think heavy-weight cargos dlcs would only be visible for those who have the dlc. Same for those players who has scandinavia and going east dlc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common to see doubles here in France, I often meet in two configurations when I have to deliver on port areas like Le Havre. For example: With dolly: Spoiler With Double train: Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elysia ELF Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Doubles Trailer + Road Duisburg to Calais = more traffic and Rip FPS I'll know how long will the traffic? I think the traffic begins in Duisburg and ends in Calais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R I G G L Y P U F F Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Maybe instead of having wiggly cart on the back of the trailer, the devs should try making a bit stronger combination (B-doubles)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to tow double trailers here in nz, can reverse them no problem, in game well im yet to find out until they arrive. its all about watching whats going on. its easy for me cause i know it, but infact if you have only ever reversed semi trailers its not so easy... but quick to learn tho... jsut gotta pay attention... jsut like anything else to do with trucking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
