Euro Truck Simulator out August 29th

Euro Truck Simulator is a refreshing alternative to the flood of also ran racing games for PCs and consoles and brings to mind recent news of haulage strikes and rising fuel prices.

This game not only appeals to lorry enthusiasts but also to anyone who loves to drive and enjoys the scenery along the way. The aim of the game is to grow your business by earning money to buy new lorries and unlocking new routes to countries throughout mainland Europe.

You can achieve this by taking on jobs to collect and deliver cargo within a given time limit. The economical challenge lies in planning your routes including petrol stops in the given time frame, budgeting for payments for refuelling as well as damages to the lorry, cargo and any traffic offences.

Thanks to SCS Software (leading developers known in the gaming world for creating Bus Simulator, etc.) developing the graphics, this game offers a surprising amount of graphic detail in lorries, interior of cabins, routes and accurate realistic scenery.

The player genuinely gains an insight into the geography of Europe by planning their routes with the help of maps. The road network is based on genuine European roads and cities and featured trucks are meticulously modelled exclusively on European truck designs.

Robert Stallibrass of Excalibur Publishing says: “The graphics are outstanding. Not only can you ‘look’ around the cabin from the driver’s seat and see the detail, but all gauges and levers are fully functional allowing you to indicate, switch on lights, turn on high-beams as well as checking your speed on the fully functional speedometer.”

Situations Vacant
LONG DISTANCE TRUCK DRIVER REQUIRED

Must have excellent driving record, good business skills and the “drive” to succeed!

Navigate your way around a realistic depiction of Europe travelling along major trunk routes and visiting famous places based on real roads and cities. Experience the life of a long distance truck driver as you face the challenge of varying road and weather conditions and meeting the demands of a heavy schedule.

Choose your truck – there’s a wide variety to suit all budgets! Maximise your business potential by choosing the best you can afford.

This truly immersive environment allows you to pan around the cabin and check your rear view mirrors, just like actually sitting at the wheel!

Each of the trucks are based on European design and have meticulously detailed 3D interiors.

Collect your earnings when you arrive at the depot, fines for traffic violations will be deducted however!

Make sure you carry out repairs and refuel when necessary to keep your truck roadworthy, why not upgrade or buy a new truck when you can afford to do so.

Spread your business into different countries. Carrying dangerous goods pays well but you must also get your license.

All the trucks in Euro Truck Simulator are as beautiful inside as they are outside, in each and every cab you can enjoy fully working instrumentation including:
Flashing indicators
Temperature and low fuel warning lights
Wipers
Full set of gauges including speedometers
So set your handle, put the pedal to the metal but watch out for those Smokey’s! 10-4 Good Buddy!
