Hi All,
I'm new to Euro truck Sim 2 so can i ask a couple of questions. I'm wanting to buy a new truck when i get to level 20(I'm at level 18 now and really like the scania) and i see it has a 6 wheel chassis. I've heard that the fuel capacity reduces with the 6 wheel chassis but is there anything to do about it. ie, have any 6 wheel chassis got a better fuel capacity than others. Also, what are the advantages of a 6 wheel chassis is the turning circle better et al.
also, when you're training you're drivers is it better to do balanced training or concentrate on certian atributes(i was going to start with long distance then eco driving).
Thanks for any help,
Cheers.

Re: New to Game
You can customize any truck purchase with the chassis layout you prefer. You can stick with two-axle chassis if you prefer, and it will lower the cost of the truck slightly. For three-axle chassis, you could try the mid-lift option if it's available. The third (mid) axle is unpowered and has an air-lift to take it off the pavement for light loads and slightly better turning radius. Drop the axle for stability and higher weight capacity, lift it for fuel savings and tire wear savings. Downside is, it costs a little more and adds some weight. Also prevents using fancy aero skirts and exhaust kits.
I've started all my new drivers on "balanced" progress. I might mix it up some as they progress and as I add more garages. It's really just up to personal preference.

Not really. All of the truck brands (in the unmodded game) have significantly reduced fuel capacity in the 6x configurations. The DAF, new Mercedes and Volvo do best with 800 litre tanks (the older Iveco Stralis and some variants of the older Mercedes only manage half that). Practically it doesn't make a huge difference - there are plenty of fuel stations scattered around the map and you just need to remain aware of how much fuel you have left (the game makes it easy on you by giving a rough 'distance left' measure on the main menu panel) just as you would in a real world vehicle.Rodders 61 wrote:I've heard that the fuel capacity reduces with the 6 wheel chassis but is there anything to do about it
Define 'better'. Even if you decide to customise your hired hands' development I would recommend putting one point in all attributes (possibly two in JiT), which Balanced will achieve quite nicely, before concentrating on particular skills. That way you give your staffers a chance at all possible job types as early as possible. My own experiments suggest that there isn't a huge difference between developing one or more skills at the expense of others (or particular skills first) versus just letting the game manage things, and there is a lot less micro-management involved in leaving the option on Balanced (and therefore more game time to spend on actually driving a truck).Rodders 61 wrote:when you're training you're drivers is it better to do balanced training or concentrate on certian atributes
