And yes, please do some outside shots. You'll know how to make them work in the video, I'm sure of it.

As an American Trucker, I am happy to see you playing a trucking sim. I listen to your video quiet frequently when driving, as I drive nights and it gets quiet boring. Keep up the great work!!

COVID happened and that’s why it so quiet in London

Audio levels are perfect.

Daggerwin, all in all: The sound level is good (we can hear you clearly and also the truck so it works great). The series seems to be on the right track for now, loved the episode and as always greatly appreciate how much effort you put into them. Lastly, don't forget your headlights as I think they're mandatory in Europe 24/7, at least they're in the Balkans.

I had a brilliant Christmas thank you daggerwin, I'm glad to hear that you had a good Christmas aswell

When building the air pressure I need to rev the engine

Who remembers the Bilbao to Reykjavik series, ah, the good old days

Daggerwin, try revving it up in neutral to build up air pressure. Worked for me.

Welcome Back Daggerwin! Hope you had a brilliant Christmas. Great to see ETS 2 back!

Excited to see this series as it progresses. Enjoyed very much and thrilled with the length of this episode. It is so easy to get immersed in your videos that we just hate for them to end. Thanks for your efforts

As a lorry enthusiast since I was born and now a transport planner in one off the biggest companies in Portugal(Trans Pascoal), I'm really happy with this serie. I think you should take a loan to buy your 1st truck, and make long trips, because its the fastest way to make big money. About resting, my advice is after delivering take the 9h break, iff you are one a shorter trip, calculate the time you have to drive to try and make another delivery with the same shift. Hope it helped, Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹

Apart from survival role play this is now one of my favourite series on KZfaq

Oh my god I have wanted this series from Daggerwin for so long. Brilliant! Can't wait.

I've worked supporting PPE logistics during the pandemic - 24/7 shifts so, when it is quiet I watch your videos. My goodness, they are always amazing for stress relief amongst some stressful calls and jobs to be sorted. Thank you, I've only just come to this series and I'm loving it already.... Thank you for all you do, the quality is astonishing. I so want to live on your maps!

I would just like to say how good you are at entertaining and keeping people engaged because you have managed to find things to talk about even though your sat on a motorway with not much happening.

Daggerwin, Hemils route advisor. It shows everything you need down the bottom. That way you can only have one GPS 👍. It’s in the steam workshop

Who remembers when he used to play Euro Truck Simulator before

I have been waiting for this series for ages, thank you so much for all your time and effort

First thing I thought of from the title was “Oh look a SWIFT drivers V log” 😂

Really brilliant I've been looking forward to this

i remeber always watching your old euro truck simulators they were class

everything is on point Daggerwin!!! and yes some 3rd person shots would make it nice to have a change every once in awhile. Thank you so much for all you do!!

I hope this series continues, I absolutely love watching these types of videos.

Yay thanks for the entertaining video you cheered me up on this dull day

You could set up the key binding and cycle through it till it turns off and then it wouldn't matter what lorry you get

I have really been looking forward to this let's play series! Thanks Daggerwin! Keep up the good work and can't wait until the next episodes!🥰

Thanks Daggerwin for 2020. Great help for us all with MH . Brilliant you back on ETS as well. Keep them coming please 🙏 Sounds and video all good as well!!

Thank you Daggerwin, hope all is well. Dip your toes in the waters of triple screens, you will never go back.

Daggerwin. You should get an award for how entertaining and supportive you've been throughout such a year. Happy New year to you.

Really enjoyed this Daggerwin. Sound is great. I considered doing this for YT a while ago but never got round to it, so I'm glad you have been able to. Have a great New Year's Eve!

Hey man, looking forward to seeing how this one plays out. Stay safe out there mate 🤙🏻 by the way - DAF 105XF good choice 😏😉

Area trips to ireland the Republic of Ireland and mabey a brexit mode

I have been looking forward to this moment

nice one! thats the type of series ive been searching for. hope youll continue it :) happy new year

Hey! I love your videos! I've been watching since FS 15 days! Can't believe that's actually like 6 years ago. I love that you've started this series! I love ETS2. A little TIP! You can set the parking preference in the settings so that you don't have to always click how you want to park when you get to your destination! I hope this helps. Keep up the good work daggerwin!! And happy new year!

You can assign a button to change the integrated satnav. My button is "1" on the numpad, it would zoom out the satnav, until it turns off.

“I’ll choose Cambridge because it’s near the main area.” Or was it because you were born there?

Really excited for this! Hope it sticks around for a long while. Nice one yet again. :)

Great episode daggerwin not much else to say just always great quality

15 min: They let you go because you already started turning into the opposite lane. If you want the AI to not stop, you should cross the green light and stop in 1 meter or so (without trying to turn your cabin towards the turning curve). That will not tell the AI that you are trying to enter their lane and they won't stop. Alternatively when you pass a green light and you go straight and you have an AI going left/right and they have to give way, just watch what they are doing. Nice driving.

Hope you had a great Christmas Daggerwin. You deserve the break always putting out great videos. Happy new year👍👍👍

Ive been thinking of doing exactly this myself. Well done with episode 1. Simulated air brakes I would keep on. You can speed up the build up time by sitting on full revs. Sound levels are spot on.

great job as always Daggerwin. its going to be an interesting series. look forward to the journey ahead

Yess I was looking forward for this soo much, also yeah you should use mods like older trucks that'd be cool to see.

There is one word for this vid... Nostalgia

As a HGV driver for a living, always try to get it on the good side for reversing and leaning out of the window is done 90% of the time whilst reversing 😂 especially in the dark or the rain when the mirrors are useless and you cant see anything 🤦‍♂️😂 looking forward to this series 👍

I like the idea, I'll be following this one. When I'm starting out a driver I tend to sink all my early points into Long Distance driving, so you can do longer journeys, paying more money and experience, and explore more of the map, then later on invest points in more exotic cargos and whatnot. Just my two pennorth.

Can’t wait in for the next episode loving this series all ready

Hello daggerwim! Hope you had an amazing Christmas, and I hope you have an amazing new year.

Trucker here, only feed back I can give you for "realism" is to make sure that you're always in the outside lane when making a turn on multilane roads. Gives you room to swing the cab out further and keep the trailer inside that, potentially narrow path. Good series, fun to watch.

I normally watch you videos with my boy and have just watched this one. It convinced me to try the promods download and all I can say is WOW, how did I ever live without this mod thank you.

My dad drives Lorries and whenever he reverses he looks out the window

Daggerwin, for more traffic denisty go to you're documents and find the file "Config.cfg" and search for the line "uset g_traffic "1.0" at Default its at 1.0 and max is 9.0. I've changed it to 5.0 but you can play with the number!

Was a yardhorse for a year moving trailers in and out of docks with a truck. Even a certified CDL instructor (we didn't need CDLs as we were only in our yard and not on the road he just worked there) was telling me the easiest way to back in was look out the window. A truck driver of 18 years also worked there with us.. he would open his door and look back that way. So i agree with a lot of the other comments where yes looking out the window is in fact realistic. As for the air brakes... yea mate you gotta rev the motor a little to build air pressure faster, the pump runs off the motor. I think we can choke that one up to either pumping your brakes too much or a leaky gladhand grommet (dunno if they have that sort of thing in the game). All in all lovee the video, been watching your farming sim ones but one different about trucking is really cool man! Also from someone who use to be a sound tech for about 4 years in highschool as well as run my own live streams more recently your audio levels are about spot on. Maybe bump the game audio just a touch as to me your voice was overpowering it a little but maybe that's just me. Keep up the good work and waiting to see where this goes!

*_I Was really looking forward to this Man Thank you So much for making it happen you are the Best_*

Hey Daggerwin I’m from west wales any chance that you can do a mission down there one episode please it will be my dream thank you.

the airbrakes seem to behave weirdly, i always have them on and almost never have issues. i'd keep them on.. maybe the DAF was leaking a bit ;)

DAGWIN! Your audio is perfect bud don't change a thing, we can hear you just fine and truck sounds are nice and clear

CAMBRIDGE!!! Where I’m from! Good video Daggerwin, glad you had a good Christmas!

Love your vids that's

wow i’m early, hi dagger

Thanks Daggerwin! Had fun watching the first episode of the series! 👍👍👍

Hi daggerwin, been looking forward to your ets2 videos and you haven't disappointed mate. Love it. As for looking out the window when reverse parking, I load trailers for a living and I'd guess about 50% of drivers do look out of there window mate. Looking forward to the next one.

I'm a Class 1 driver who's in and out of London alot... I've never seen it that quiet 😂

Long Distance is the quickest way to earn money quickly in the early game. More miles means more money. Looking out of the window is entirely up to the driver. When I did long haul trucking, I did it when I needed to make sure I wasn't about to hit parked cars because delivery locations were tightly packed and not suited for vehicles with trailers. Taking out a loan in the early game is an option. Because the money you earn as an owner operator will always be higher than you would be earning as a company driver. Sure you'll have to manage time, maintenance, and fuel, but the overall income will be more than the expenses you will incur.

I'm excited for this series. Hope you have a happy and prosperous New Year

Nice to finally see you get back into ETS2 on the channel. Try and keep it immersive by sticking to cabview, unless you make a stop somewhere for resting, fueling, or picking up and delivering the cargo. If you show off the truck and cargo at those points it will still be immersive. Love your vids Daggerwin and keep up the good work.

Even waiting for this

Get a Volvo or man considering you already had a Scania

The Sound is perfect and i think you dont need the air pressure mod. Thank you for keeping us entertained through such a awfull year happy new year to you!

This is a series that I will be in love with, seeing an ETS 2 playlist from the start

I recommend Hemil's Route Advisor on steam, a much better looking UI for the GPS and gives you more info. I also highly Recommend DP's Realistic traffic density, the traffic changes due to time (eg it's quiet at night and busy at 9am) and JazzyCat's traffic mods made the traffic more variant. I also recommend a Volvo as your first truck, it's very cheap to start off with and can be upgraded to 700+ Horsepower. You can also turn on the truck speed limit in the game settings!

I had a good Christmas and got a new logitech steering wheel for Christmas

happy new year dude and i have got to say thnk u too u for showing me pro mods as it has made me fall bck in love with ets2 again lol and keep up the gd work and keep putting the vids out cant wait for the next one

I love this series already, this is amazing! Keep on doing them please...

Suggestion: turn on the voice for the satnav

The audio is fine i can hear the truck and i can hear u

I’ve been waiting on someone to do something like this for ages love the idea. Keep it up sound was perfect good vid

Been waiting for this for too long! Thanks daggerwin

The reason London was quiet is lockdown hehe

he sure does know how to keep people interested

I'm definitely looking forward to more of this series

Thats something I wanted to see from someone and who else than the best on survival Daggerwin . Happy new year from Greece

It’d be cool if you got the same lorry in FS19 and deliver something to Dagwin at his farm

My wife said that you sound like Richard Hammond

I like the name choice! Edit: At the end you said, "Well Done, Derek!" Right as I finished something at work. Definitely caught me off guard! Lol

great job daggerwin you drove well and the series sounds intresting

i think you shout get a loan, to get your one truck, ist more real to have a company for your self en try to let it grow

Turn off air brake sim pls. Loving the vids tho

Hi daggerwin, thankyou for making my 2020 amazing, also I’d say no time lapses. Great video

i really like the slow paced series like this trucking, and the survival challenge

You should get the Traffic Density mod which adds more traffic which makes it more realistic, and also the More Ai Traffic mod which adds things like Tractors on the road. Edit: you should get the Eddie Stobart Mod pack so its like your working for a real life company.

Try using the retarder and engine brake more often. It often used by HGVs as you sure know

Really like the change. I am a big fan of survival challenge on fs19 so this is a great spin-off!!

Daggerwin This was a Great idea and i love all of the survival series what you have made over the years great work

Oh only 1 a week. That’s good I prefer farming sim

I actually can’t wait for this series to get started fully

Hope you are well. Looking forward to the series. Audio is great I find

Watching this from a Cascadia in a lumberyard in Colorado. This is probably the first time I've watched your channel since before I got my license.
