About Retarder and Trailer Brakes

[oguzhanerguder]

I want to say something about ets2 retarder and trailer brakes. Game retarder system is not adaptation trailer brake system. When i use retarder system, trucks aren't have balance. i solve this problem; i use retarder and trailer brake simultaneously but this is so hard with g27. i want to auto trailer brake option with retarder system. This system uses the all new real trucks. I love Euro Truck Simulator2 a lot. but this topic upsetting me. My English level is not good. I hope I told the problem right.

thank you very much

Like in real life driving, slow down @ greater distance so you can SAFELY drive where you want to.
I think that is the real challenge for the most of us, also in real life where they make everything way to fast...madness and alot of accidents.
Have a great game, and if you want slower trucks you may try some "old truck" mods ?

I'm confused on what you're asking. How the game is set up is that whenever you use the retarder or foot brake, the trailer wheels are braked too, no need for an "auto trailer brake". If you're having trouble stopping, either turn brake sensitivity up, or brake from a greater distance away.

Really? Is this default behavior in ETS2?

[natvander]

Should the retarder activate the trailer brakes? The retarder is a transmission brake.

In real life retader dont function the trailer, but footbrake does

No i know this settings. In new generation trucks, retarder brakes control the trailer brakes. Thanks for comment.

for the five years we maintain and upgrade the game i learned one thing: whatever we do, in "new generation trucks" it is different ..
any reference, please?

EU trucks are hard limited to 90km/h (by law) and as such are designed and optimized for speeds of 80-90km/h.
