Green Volvo's on the highway! :)

Ever done a reverse without the game elements for the parking? It's surely more immersive!

The brown in this interior feels sophisticated, I like it :)

Strongly agree! I usually play without the route advisor up all the time (though I can still bring it up if needed) and it brings the immersion up substantially.

I also learned of a command for the dev console that disables the camera from going through the window when it's closed so that you can no longer look behind you if the window is down, and that just added a bit more for me.

Code: Select all

@Maverick89 - I use g_cam_window_block 0.7 so I can peek out when the window is open just enough for a head to look out :)

Switching trucks soon!

Switched to the International 9300. This has an awesome style and presence, superior to the 9900i I'd say!

These Alcoa rims and Goodyear tires are immaculate! :o What a beautiful design

I have mine set to 1, but I might try 0.7, especially now since I’m planning on trying head tracking again for a third time. :lol:

The International 9300 was overall a joy to drive! Now with the 2025 Volvo VNL released, I decided to try it out and make the best out of it.

Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the dashboard and decided not to stick with the truck for long. :?
I don't find the horizontal tachometer appealing, and it's not as intuitive as the classic circular gauges. The 2014 Volvo VNL has a much better tachometer in comparison

Now I'm driving the International Fleetstar 2070A! What a charming classic to see modded into the game. :)

The initial release of this truck mod has some features missing, but it still offers a lot with paint customization so I was intrigued in giving it a go!

This yellow lighting on the gauges is awesome! Easy on the eyes at night! I'm happy to see @SlavJerry's engine sounds available for the truck. :)

Checking out the night lighting in Chicago. It's very distinctive for sure
