its under the locker on the left hand side of the cabin, you swing the aero collar out to get to the filler cap.

find it kinda sad that after the Volvo DLC where the FHs god reworked more to real life engine badges they go the low res texture route again with the DAF, i bet even Doom back in the day had sharper textures then that

maybe different designers have different standards? not that its okay, but i seems that there is no difinite QA standard the different DLC and new stuff has to meet. How good something turns out from SCS seems to differ from every release. Mercedes vs. Volvo DLC is a great example too, where Mercedes old model got polished and actually is of a quite high standard (considering its age) where as Volvo DLC only did a less than half try to correct stuff made wrong in the past and missed alot of stuff that is relevant (Spoiler on Globetrotter (missing spoiler i might add) and roof hight of Globetrotter Classic).

Had an impressive fuel economy in a ride from Saint Petersburg to Cagliari. The cargo was light though.

Thanks to cruise control! From my side also I tried my level best to reduce braking.

The overdrive gearbox shifts to top gear at 87 km/h 😶 So whenever I’m cruising at 80, I shift to manual. There’s no no significant torque loss though. That saves a little bit of fuel.

Also, I can’t appreciate more about the proper seat positioning and the unmatched visibility the truck offers.

This is an obvious thing but I had to ask, the new dafs air filter us now located in engine bay like Scania?
