But the 4x2 will experience a torque around the powered axle because of the trailer drag. The 6x4 with diff lock will have its rear axle pushed hard into the ground. Am I wrong? Also, liftable axis aren't powered.

@@herzglass yes liftable axles are not powered however due to the location of the 5th wheel which can be adjusted on some trucks if neccessary the 5th wheel is typically almost perfectly in the middle of the drive axles or in the tri axle right on the middle axle / slightly forward to keep weight on the front steer axle which results in almost equal weights on both axles especially in trucks with walking beam suspension and other such heavy duty suspensions which pivot both axles equally unlike air bags in which they float independitly. so on a airbag truck which would never see this type of situation yes the rear axle could see more weight but in a heavy duty truck like a dump truck or heavy haul truck no the weight would be near equal on both drive axles.

@@21babydew Thank you for your elaboration. It's beyond doubt the physics in the game need some tweeking.

'Yeah just put the first 6 pallets in sideways double-double-double and single-double-single the rest of the way back'

Where can I find it?

Mod websites i guess

It's no difference, they dont have an actual stats like in ets so it's just for cosmetic/look

heavy duty tires? you mean the offroad tires right?

Yea they need to transfer the game to a new engine even if that takes years, it will be worth it

yes cos driving a truck and load weighing 34 tonnes up a 45% incline happens in the real world. /sarcasm

Agreed

I also really wish they would simulate chassis twist better. The Cascadia in real life has huge amounts of torque twist in lower gears. The Kenworth's I've driven felt a bit more stable with less body roll. But the trucks are definitely too rigid in ATS and ETS. Accelerating at wide open throttle in the game you should see the cab rocking back and forth more between shifting, at least in the lower gears when you're getting the most torque.

@@Ward413 completely agree! That was what I love the most about driving trucks in real life, feeling the torque twisting and squatting the cab

Someone have tested in ETS2 that automatic transmission is not good at hill climbing. //edit: wrong reply. lol

@@pqhkr2002 hmmm maybe this sometime my truck suddenly stuck ..is it bug?

@@faydulaksono Maybe.

I thought it was from the secret track in Arizona?

@@Bremend yes, you thought right xd

In ETS 2 1.4 we can see 4x2 truck jumping when tries to pull 25+ tons by flat road. Contact area is too small for this task. In this video we can see the same: 8x6 has triple contact area + 4 tons extra weight, 6x4 has double contact area + 2 tons extra weight, 4x2 has smallest contact area, length and weight.

The empty trailer is only for better contact with surface. 650 HP / 8 tons = 81.25 HP per ton. Usual car have 100 HP / 1 ton = 100 HP per ton. A truck accelerates and decelerates slower usually.

Volvo has 8x4 not 8x6

@@fabyanraiferlangga5978 ok.

My understanding is there is no difference in tire manufacturer or styles modeled in. Pure looks.

@@StudioDaVeed In ATS it really isn't. In ETS there is a difference a for example ability to keep traction on water makes a huge diference on each tire. ;-)

@@lexik223 Ok, cool...odd they build the sister sims so differently....

@@lexik223 Only tire in ATS that is different is the heavy duty tire. It has a different roll resistance and wet grip.

@@flareside259 Really? Didn't know that, thanks :-)

Well, technically it's a fully AWD cart with just a pair of steer non-drive wheels))

No reason to start in lower gears if you can handle higher gear starts.

@@YungRolex its an automated manual transmission (still a pure automatic for me). It chooses the best gear to start in based on a whole load of factors. If you wanna start in a lower gear; play the game with the manual transmission setting.

Sorry but SCS has some work to do

Correct, but only 8x4 no 8x6

@@TGMStefa its true..

Darn I wanted an 8x6 for the Volvo :c

@Herr Hoffmann Hey, What's Your Favourite New Update For 1.41?🤔

@Herr Hoffmann And I Love Drivers/Trucks/Trailers Visible On The Road With CB Radio And Real Sound Motor Engine Trucks With Update Turbo Sound.

@Herr Hoffmann ets2 pisses all over ats.

@@winfield347 Yes but both games are good i own both i like ets2 more

@@SouthEastTrainspotter me 2.and I like ets2 better as well.it's a more realistic drive.the only thing you don't get is when you bin in a truck for 2 days and nights when you get back in a car it feels like a go kart.

guess why... it's heavier lol.

so would the 6x4 or 4x2. Mountains arent that steep

@@sambosomethin7844 he cheated the 8x6 up the asphalt hill using the handbreak bug, basically when you apply the handbreak and full throttle away but the truck doesnt move because its on a hill ect it keeps randomly jumping forward like seen in this video

It doesn't have 8x6,only 8x4 midlift

Yeah it looks like oilfield haul roads in West Virginia

Developer mode

@@dukeninja7481 In the Developer Console? Do you know the command for it?

@@LooZoo I think hes using the freecam by 0

I don't think so because the truck stays in the center

@@LooZoo hes just using the controls to keep it in centre, look carefully its not perfect

Correct

This is a custom map i made for testing
