Euro Truck Simulator 2: how to make your first deliveries smoother

The first flights are more convenient to use for mastering controls, dimensions and route planning. The profit becomes clearer when you compare the entire delivery.

Set up controls before a long flight

Test turning, braking and visibility on a short route. The feel is different when playing on the keyboard versus the steering wheel; Do not copy sensitivity settings without checking. Separately, make sure that it is convenient to use mirrors and look to the sides. If you constantly have to search for the right button, stop and set it up in a safe place, rather than experimenting on a busy road.

Learn to turn with a trailer

Before a narrow turn, reduce your speed and evaluate the trajectory of the entire train. A good position of the cab does not mean that the trailer will pass the obstacle. When parking, make small changes and check your position through the mirrors. When a maneuver is no longer clear, it is more useful to stop and start again than to correct too much angle with additional sudden movements.

Compare costs and time

Evaluate the flight based on the final result, including damage and time spent. The route with a higher fee is not always more convenient for training. Before purchasing equipment, study what features are already available in your current profile. Don't expand your company just for the number of trucks: first make sure you understand how your chosen purchase will affect the regular expenses and operation of the business.

For Convoy, check compatibility

Official co-op mode allows you to fly with friends. Before the meeting, agree on the version of the game and the composition of the modifications. If the route depends on an additional map, check the availability of this area with participants. Take a short trip together first. This helps to notice differences in settings and technical problems before a big flight with an important delivery for the group.
