I think that wheel damage is the game trying to simulate tire wear there

I have noticed that if you drive on high beams the AI in the other direction will flash you as a indicator to turn them off just like in real life

This game have amazing attention to detail. The only thing missing is more irregular bumpy roads, in real life roads aren't perfectly flat

One detail I noticed just a while ago is that the steering wheel gets harder to turn when your engine is off (simulating the lack power steering).

One thing of realism I love of this game simulator is that when you overtake a vehicule, and then kilometers ahead you stop for gas or red light, that vehicule appears to pass you again. The vehicule didn't disappear in the game.

For the wheels damage,it's basically a tyre wear simulation,nothing wrong about it imo

A couple things I've noticed about driveways: If you've been waiting for a while in heavy traffic, unable to leave, the game will do 1 of two things. It will stop spawning traffic going down that side of the road to let you out, or on a very rare occasion an ai vehicle (usually another truck from my experience) will stop anyway and flash you out, in a similar way to the hazard example.

something else i've noticed is that the ai correctly reacts to all of your lights. For example, when you're on a roundabout, if you turn on the right blinker, the ai stopped at the closest exit will enter the roundabout (same for intersections), or also when you turn on the blinker to join a lane, the ai will most likely let you in. If you stop by the side of the road (out of the lane) and turn on hazard lights, the ai will behave in the same way as in random events it slows down Really nice details

Yes, I've noticed this details in game. Stuffs like this make the simulator more real. Good video, bro. 👍👌👋

pretty crazy with the hazard lights, this game is definitely very well designed. props to SCS.

When you turn on the lights, wipers, blinkers, you can see the levers turning

One thing I noticed is that the further north you move, the more hours of light there are, a small detail that perhaps few have noticed

The normal "wear and tear" damage I just attribute to needing normal things like oil/fluid changes, tire rotations, and other routine maintenance tasks.

If you're standing on the freeway with your hazard lights on, cars overtake you more slowly than without

I noticed when you flash your high beam lights to greet the oncoming AI truck, sometimes it flashes back in response. Nice little in-game detail to cheer you up.

About the damage only for driving it, it's not a bug, it's not a problem, it's to be a tyre wear simulation, for me, it's very good!

I noticed that if you go really slow in a road, which can be a highway or even city roads, the AI will overtake you even if they can’t, like in a road with two lane with two direction of travel, the AI will overtake you in the opposite side

A great tip is "random events possibility" in settings, set this a bit high (about 30-50%) and you'll see interesting incidents or accidents, for example trucks or cars on fire, trailer load burned or fallen out, FD & police vehicles there, and also roadwork, even roads dug up for pipes etc. I have it set around the middle (which makes everything highly possible), it's awesome, you have many things to see while traveling!

Even without the map expansions, the quality of game you get for the price tag is aastounding.

I also noticed something else with the flashing lights. If you use the flashing lights on the highway, while slowly coming to a stop: the ai behind you will also activate their indicators to warn traffic behind them. Kind of the same way as when approaching a traffic jam or an accident.

5:31 you ran out of fuel, but Škoda/Liaz tanker just carried it to you. 😆

Otros datos curiosos: Si llevas las luces largas encendidas, los vehículos IA te harán cambio de luces, para que coloques las luces cortas. Si vas a cruzar una calle, pero quieres dejar el paso a otro vehículo de la dirección contraria has doble cambio de luces, el vehículo IA comenzará a avanzar nuevamente

1:33 It doesn't have to be hazards, I've had my standard indicator on waiting for a gap to pull out into, and after I'd been there for a while, a fellow trucker slowed down for me and flashed at me to pull out. Love touches like this. Also, when you're pulling out of tight roads, often other oncoming drivers will stop and give you loads of room for you to complete your turn.

The wheel damage simulates wear as damage, also at a slower rate all the other boxes also simulate damage. I change my tires at about 50-60% damage and by that time even without hitting anything the other boxes will also have damage. It’s a very basic way but it works. Cops allow you 5kph over in ETS2 and 5mph in ATS outside of city limits. Both games in city limits have zero tolerance. Also if they game sees you’re slowing down then usually it won’t give you a ticket.

2:44 If you're driving on the shoulder of the road (emergency lane) the game ignores your speed, therefore saving you from getting a fine.

Another trick to noted whilst out delivering stuff is again the use of "hazard Lights" on your truck, When you are getting up to a delivery depot use your hazards just BEFORE the entrance you need to reverse into, this will make the Ai following you stop and leave a gap behind you, you can then reverse in peace, just do not leave it to long for your manoeuvring OK, the same trick can also be applied for long / wide loads and tight switchback type corners, use your hazards to create a safe space behind you from following Ai, go on or over opposing lane divider and not only will you have space behind you from the Ai BUT any Ai coming toward you will STOP the other side of corner, thus enabling you to safely complete the manoeuvrer and rejoin your lane.

Damage to a vehicle isn’t just crashing, there’s wear and tear as well

The cars are not giving you way because of hazards on, but because of you being too far in their path / inside the crossroad. Also sometimes, if you traffic stands too much in the middle of the road and giving you the way, if there is not enough space for your and your trailer, you can flash them and they will move on.

I have noticed pretty much everything that you pointed out and sometimes I like to sit in the middle of the road with my hazard lights on just to annoy the Ai in the same way the Ai annoy us players

As for the “damage” it’s just wear on the vehicle. Drive for long enough the engine and gearbox/transmission will do the same. The tyres+wheels are grouped together. Brake wear is included in the “Chassis” stats. I think? Maybe part of the “Wheels”? Over using the Retarder will accelerate wear on the transmission.

Not only the tires wear off, but other components too. You can see that in your video, the repair cost for them is not zero at the end of route. The damage is so little it's still reads as 0% tough.

I'd noticed a few of these, but it's nice to see more of an explanation then what I've experienced. When you've put so many hours in you sometimes become unsure if it's a feature or bug or glitch and it's often so minor that you forget to google it after a session!

Milan is very underrated!! Good videos about mods, details, updates... And the editing is so good... Deserve a lot of new subscribers!!

I knew about everything except timer in DAF. Nice video 🥳🥳!

As an ols ETS player I've noticed all of that in the game before. Still enjoyed the video. :) Maybe a thing to include: If there's a police car or some other thing happening in the emergency lane, the AI will slam on their brakes. I don't even know why...

I have a couple of things.. If you have Automatic Engine brake on you can actually see the switch on your dash move every time you press the brake. (wipers and indicator stick is an obvious one) For speed if you sit at 5kph or 3mph over the limit you won't get fined if you hit 6kph/4mph you'll be fined. I generally have traffic offences off because if you roll even 1 milimeter over the line (at lights) you get fined. That and you will ALWAYS be a fault if the AI hit you.

0:35 chassis and cabin don't get damaged from just driving, you've hit\touch something. engine, gearbox and wheels yes - they get "used"

The fact that he drove that far without crashing is amazing

I know how fines for speeding works :) If you drive 4km/h too fast, no fine, but if you go 5 or more over, then you get a fine. If you are on a road where the speed limit is 70 or up, you will only get fined while being infront of a police, but up to 50 you will get fined no mather what direction the police is headed. And last, as you sed in the video, police don't have mirrors and you won't get fined if you are behind them. at 60 to 70km/h I have no idea since that seemes to variate between only giving infront and/or giving no mather directions.

A detail I have noticed, is that if you accidentally drive with high beams, then the ai will flash thier high beam to make us turn ours off

As I’ve done more kilometres in this game than I can remember I have noticed that when driving on the highway and an AI bus or truck overtakes me I automatically flashes the high beams and the bus or truck wait until I flash the high beams and goes right back in just like real life. But It would be nice if they could thank the player for flashing them in with the indicators like left right left common practice among drivers in Europe.

I knew most of these with only exceptions the wheel damage. 1st thing i want to say is about the hazard lights while leaving a company works with turn lights too. The AI will slow down but they may not always stop. Also when they're slowing down if you flash your headlights they will continue and not try to stop. 2nd one is that on the tolls that you have to stop in order to pass there is a way to pass without *paying* . To do this you have to be very close to the car Infront and start fast so you will still remain close. It works the best with vans and trucks. 3rd and last one is about the railroad crossings in non reworked and non DLC areas. If you stop on the rain tracks the train will not stop but it will pass through you. However once the bars close there is invisible walls and the train won't pass as long as you are on the tracks. This is only possible in multiplayer where the train will actually pass while being on the tracks. Great vid Milan♥️

The one with crossing tolls is very useful, thanks for showing me this, because those places always make me want to crash into them

Great video Milan! Thanks! 💪🏻💯💪🏻

Close enough behind police they will fine too. The most I’ve had my tires up to was like 63% I think and that’s when I replaced them. If you keep driving over time you’ll get damage very slowly on everything, engine, trans, frame, etc. if you bump something it only gives body damage if you don’t hit it too hard, like a sign or something.

The rumble strips can also effect force feedback btw

American truck driver here, the reason why the rumble strips weren't there in the clip you showed was because of the on-ramp. They stop the rumble strips maybe a couple hundred feet before ramps, nice attention to detail. Also, some states here in America put the rumble strips in different places. Like, in Missouri its on the fog line rather than a few inches off of it, it drives me nuts.

4:42 I like how the AI starts honking the horn when your blocking the road, now it knows how we feel like when it does that to us.

The one behavior I noticed that "breaks" the simulation for me is how trains are spawning. If your FOV is far out and you see a barrier, you will notice that there won't be any train passing. You can stop 1 km away from the barrier and stay there for ages and you will probably don't see a train. The moment you reach the barrier the train will come. Obviously the train spawns for the player. It won't spawn for AI vehicles, so I can understand why it works how it does but it always made me remember I'm still in a game and not real life.

You can drive trough the highway gate or country border without paying or check by following car ahead before the gate get closed 😀. Except the atuomatic highway gate.

Awesome video! Haven't noticed some of these details until this video. Thanks!

I didn't know the thing about the toll booths and the timer until rest on the new trucks. Very interesting, thank you.

One option that the developers of Euro Truck could make available in the game is the greeting between drivers on the road through a horn or flashing headlights when they are passing each other in the opposite direction.

There is an option in the gameplay menu to turn off traffic fines, also to take off speed limiter

A thing to be aware of is that if you get to a speed limit sign, going above that limit and having a police car right behind, it will immediately give you a fine. So you have to read them from a distance and brake before getting to it.

As for the toll page, you can even skipp tolls in ets2!!! Just tailgate behind truck in front and you re good edit, some countries you need to have a tiny distance and in others it doesnt matter

When I saw the DPF regen screen on the DAF I hoped they implemented that, or that at least the bar would move but it doesn't, which kinda sucks. Would be a cool addition.

I've actually noticed a few of these tips myself... one that was missed, you will always be warned about speed camera traps and they are most of the time between 2 different speed zones between landmarks (like a bridge or a tunnel and such) the only thing thats kind of hard is remembering all the zones police cars look like!

ATS does pretty much the same. If you drive 5k miles without having any accidents you aquire wear and tear damage on Engine, Transmission, Tires, Body etc on truck and trailer.

Tyre wear is taken into account when factoring pricing! Same as oil changes new parts fuel etc!

O wow i never knew hazards actually affected the ai. Definitely gonna use them more often. The rest i did already know

I have 240 hours in the game and I didn't know but one of these! Amazing work.

I already knew mostly everything. But it was very fun to watch. This video is pure quality.

The tyre damage, I would say Is down to actually driving the truck, wear and tear on your tyres by how many miles you do. To add realistic effect i would imagine it’s taking into account the tread depth which would ware down irl.

I have notice a details drive over 800km more, and no crashing cars the trailer will damage 1% . I'm think some players will know this detail.

Love this video! I can't believe they still add new things to this game after so many years!

Spezial detail : the motor break . If you do the break harder the truck Show you something

About the hazards for AI to give us passage, I've seen that it happens when we get in their lane just a tiny bit and it's programed to stop if it happens

So if you drive a couple of thousand KM's a week in real life you dont expect there to be any wear and tear on your daily driver ?

I've been playing WTS2 for years and i didn't know the hazard lights trick, thank you!

Many toll booths have "Auto Pass" lanes, usually on the far right, where you can just go through without even a barrier being there

Its awesome when you see the amount of hidden detail

Interesting details

0:24 "her" 😆 - Milan ♥️ 🇸🇪

Also when you have above 50% damage the truck overheats, when the temps exceed the red line the truck will simply stall and never start again until the engine has cooled a little bit under the red line

A feature often overlooked is the differential lock.

Forgot to 2 old things that ai do. One is when driving in country road with ur high beam, opposite passing ai will light flash u. Second(rare) is if u light flash a opposite approaching truck, it will light flash in response. New thing are engine sound will get louder when u carry more load, handling of truck varies with load weight ur carrying, u will skid when using retarder in wet conditions.

heres a good one this is more of a ats detail but if you scale your truck when full of fuel vs scaling when you have half a tank it will decrease in weight

The most of the tire damage is because of backup maneuvers and u turns. Doing 800kms is not gonna damage your tires. Normally they are gonna be ok hundreds of thousands kms.

Nice 😍 - but I request scs software team - please add more realistic sky box realistic filter & realistic roads texture different country - please add more realistic texture & filter all vehicles. - please add truck more interior cabin details key option like , AC control , cabin lights and more... - please add realistic truck vibration with cabin accessories vibration. Thanks 🤝 scs software team - great work - ETS2 is my 😍 game 🚛 👍

You guys are AMAZING! You are creating the game of my dreams!!!

Nice video, loved it!

1:30 its not the hazard lights, they will flash you when you wait long with blinkers doesn't matter if hazard or blinkers it works with both

It's called TIRE WEAR... lol

Cool video, man. I really didn't know/notice most of them.... (:

Milan you have nice videos and i like them but please dont put clickbait thumbnails.

I love this game... I only have one issue w/ this game though... SCS should try to include bus terminals and passenger cargo for those who want to drive a bus.. there are plenty of 3rd-party terminal & passenger mods but sometimes they have conflict w/ other add-on mods... especially terminal mods since they require changes in map itself... of, if SCS don't want to do that, then they should consider adding areas in map where 3rd-party can build a bus station mod w/out impacting the maps to prevent game crash...

Nice video bro....The hazard thing i never noticed it so from right i will use it xd ;)

Amazing vid keep it up man

clickbait thumbnail??

This minimal damage is just normal wear and tear what you also have in reality. But it was good, that I watched this video, since I didn't knew about the power of the hazard lights. Thank you for explaning this.

Good info !

Milan thanks i enjoyed this video :) my friend and me streaming ETS 2 and ATS (ATS in Future) and thats nice to know :)

for the tires i believe it's to simulate wear and tear. The more you drive the more your tires get worn. I have noticed some of the things you mention here as well though. E.g. speeding behind the police car and only getting the fine once the overtaking is done. In some countries you don't get fined if the police car is going in the opposite direction. Think it was Finland or Poland among others where i saw this. Could have been other countries though. Nice video like always

Thanks for the situations!

This game is super realistic! I'll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!

Spawning on the train tracks is a fun way to protest the unrealistically large number of trains that travel down single track railways

Tip: It you drive on the shoulder (you gotta use the game map for this ) when the speed limit disappears and your speed isnt red anymore you don’t get fines from police or radars But keep in mind that if you’re speeding and you get out of the shoulder in front of a cop you will be fined

Hey! Thanks for showing these. I actually have the new Daf 2021 truck as my main vehicle, and I noticed that timer, but didnt know what it meant. THANK YOU!! :D
