I just think there are too many sims out there, so many I''d like to try but just don't have the time. I really envy you Squirrel, I mean this IS your day job. That I can just wake up and go to work saying, "What do I feel like simming today?" Man that is a dream job!
Regarding 11:30, I've also had this happen to me ALL THE TIME in ETS2 lately. I swear it used to be better, but the last month or so they pull out in front of me almost every time. Also tons of merge lanes just have cars sitting in them because the AI collided with itself. Part of that I attributed to map mods, but maybe it's a more global issue after all.
28:55 As long as it's toggleable, that might be a neat feature. (And then they could maybe give you some bonus experience for doing so, and maybe even give you more experience for doing it quickly.)
I hauled virtually that same configuration day cab pete/150BBL Vac tanker (thats what it is btw) for 3 years in North Dakota, not used to seeing them clean.
Though you probably had a bit more power in your truck. I have a friend who hauls belly dumps up in ND, MT, ID and he drives a Freightliner with a 500hp ISX and 18 speed Ultrashift.
Hope you get well soon Paul. I built a gaming pc just to play Euro Truck Simulator 2. Yourself and Keralis made me want to play the game. Thanks to your videos I am building myself a reasonably good trucking empire! :)
Watch it, your parallel parking now sux!! You can't be wonderful at everything! My reverse parking is bloody brilliant, but I'm taking shortcuts with parking at the kitchen bench...I'm not parking straight on. It's all good, I can sit up and turn my body slightly to cope with it...it does make you take a longer look at stuff though, and actually think about stuff.
18:06 cops driving by aren't asking you to pull in. It's the people at the weigh station. There should be a sign that says "open" /"closed" or "by pass"
Hey Squirrel, Just an FYI that it isn't the police telling you to go into the weigh station, the red "weigh station bypass" indicator is directing you to do it or not. In the United States weigh stations are used for the government to check your driver log and to verify the mileage for tax purposes. Seasoned trucking companies are able to purchase a wireless transponder that will automatically communicate the details to the weigh station as you drive by, making it unnecessary to pull in and stop (you'll receive a green "weigh station bypass" indicator).
I'm in Orlando Florida on holiday and the trucks are really quiet and huge but the peterbuilt day cabin that u have are usually used for fuel from what I gather but it's only struck me how ats is so like real life in America but I love ur vids and try to keep up even when I'm away from Ireland :)
I think you meant crickets. That's the chirping you heard at the rest area. Cicadas have that weird buzzing mating call you'll hear every summer in the states. BTW the Kenworth W900 is a fantastic truck. I just bought and customized mine the other day, and man it is so nice. Honestly Squirrel you REALLY should invest in the Kenny, it is worth every penny to your company. After that you can do your upgrades or buy a new garage.
If you get the w900 I recommend the w900 mega sound pack w/ Cummins n14 2.1 update. The cummins sounds really awesome. Keep on truckin' !! Also I'm a huge fan!!!
Hey Squirrel, I'm pretty sure that Walbert's is supposed to be Walgreen's pharmacy, I'm basing my assumption on this because the building is similar to how the Walgreen's buildings look. I live in the U.S. and there are a ton of Walgreen's around where I live.
ETS and ATS could take a note from Farming Sim. They have the perfect engine on consoles, they have one mod pack released so far and multiplayer. So they have the capability just don't want to venture away from the pc market.
Hi Squirrel, thank you for your videos I'm only up to Trucking Diaries #19 so far but really enjoy watching. Very entertaining. After watching Episode #1 I purchased ATS but its not the same as riding along with you. Have also enjoyed your flightsim videos too.Keep up the nice work
While the W900 has the turning radius of an ocean liner, I still drive it more than my other two just because it looks soo damn good (and sounds amazing with the Kreichbaum's sound mod + CAT engine). Though I will warn you, it is much heavier, even with the 625hp C15 it doesn't pull hills as well as the Pete or T680 with their 550hp ISX (which itself is only a minor upgrade over the 500hp Paccar)
+mrvwbug44 My god "turning circle of an ocean liner" is the perfect way to describe that. I dl'ded this on my old laptop since the good gaming pc in the house was taken so I had to start all over. One of my random jobs put me in the W900 and between the awful turning circle and the fact that my laptop is 6 years old there were some times when I ran over everything. Mostly in cities, for obvious reasons. Good heavens. I was also just yelling I'm sorry at nobody the whole time.
Have you tried backing up with trailer stability turned up vs. turned off? It makes quite a difference. I was hauling a real unstable load in ETS2 and turned it up and could not get it to turn so it would line up as I backed up. Finally realized what was happening and turned it off and backed it right in. It was short trailer too. LOL Good times.
If they are essentially bringing back Roller Coaster Tycoon essentially...that was hundreds of hours of my childhood for years. I had the first one and 2 editions of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 with the Platinum edition that included water rides and the animals. Guess I know what game I'm getting next! Also, Xbox One and I believe PS4 at least for Fallout 4 do support mods...not sure if it's from PC only but I know it does support mods. So ATS and ETS2 if they come to console will have full mod support if SCS chooses to do so as well as MicroSoft and Sony.
Little TH-cam tip... if you can, you should record some "banker" episodes of stuff that stand alone and aren't part of a series. If you get ill then you have a week or two of content ready to go to cover your downtime. As that content starts to date just upload them anyway and use that week to create new "banker" content. You should try to pick something that will be relevant for 6 months or so (longer if you can). The hard part is getting the first batch of banked episodes recorded while still keeping the regular schedule going.
Now I get it. I was watching the newer Car Mechanic Sim videos, and were wondering why you stopped making them, it seems like a better game than the older one, just by how in-depth it is. That and Construction Sim just seemed to end with no explanation in the series, both of which I would like to see make a comeback.
Paid mods hype! - Also, give your OG truck to swag master Valentino when you upgrade. - Very few companies are trying to get mods to work on consoles. Sony and Microsoft really need to get on board with it to help and last I checked they aren't doing much. Microsoft will probably get it soon. PS4 is going to be a nightmare, IMO. - Anyway, loving ATS and hope to see some bus and train and maybe construction videos soon. Cheers.
Sorry to hear about your illness .. I really mised your videos, but I'm glad that you are now ok. I follow you on youtube, since twitch doesn't work well with my ISP, which is a shame since I really wanted to see your DCS stream ... hope that you eventually records some DCS footage for TH-cam whenever you can :) Cheers!
Squirrel what do you think about the class 2 non articulated box vans and so on making an appearance in the trucking series as drivable vehicles?, personally I would like it I think it adds another level of realism, the jobs that you get from the market would be limited but that's the choice you need to make when purchasing a truck.
Hey Squirrel, I saw that you always drive at a lower speed than the max limit. Did you know that you can actually drive 4mph higher than the limit speed at any time and any place?
Lol the best part of these episodes is where Squirrel curses the cops cuz he thinks they're responsible for having him pull over at the weight stations.
I squirrel I have a question for you I have played ATS uncovered 90% of the map very interesting like the game very much so far. So my question is in both games ATS and ETS2 when you buy a garage in both games and you upgraded from 3 trucks to 5 trucks there are still 2 ? down the bottom how you open them up please
hey sir you went for the kenne on the stream on twitch, so why don't you try a volvo VNL mod? there are some good ones out there... i won't leave a link here, but if you want a can give you?
22:24 listens to him say "talk about about random stuff for 30 minutes, or for however long this video will be." Pauses video. Looks at run-time. Anyone else?
I love simulators so much, And I saw you made a couple of videos on Bus Simulator 16. I subscribed because I see a lot of this type of content and you are entertaining/calming to watch. :) But more Bus Simulator 16 please? :)
Don't say sorry for the lack of content! You were ill so I think people understand that you just need some big Squirrel love =) This was a great video btw =)
Is it really the cops that make you pull in to the weigh station? I thought (in the game) it was more or less random, but I don't think it's connected to passing a cop car.
squirrel. during the times you played euro truck, did you ever encounter your other drivers in the company and do you think that you may in this when you expand it eventually, I say eventually as I think ya should get the Kenny lol to me big kenworths are the image I see when I think of American trucking lol keep it up your videos are helping me through many sleepless nights.
DaSquirrel Paul I kinda thinking that maybe since you are very busy with making content and life that maybe you could try the division more in a causal way. More to sometimes have a small change it up and to role play Someone choosing to just have fun without the need to feel the need to grind at all
Hey squirrel I've been wondering do you have Windows software for your computer or what computer software do you use and what do you use for recording and editing software?
The aliasing is a major issue in ETS2 and ATS that somewhat ruins an otherwise very pretty game. They should be able to fix it without a major rewrite for DX11 IMO - I have plenty of DX9 games with nice anti-aliasing (and also some DX11 titles with pretty bad aliasing). There's the "Scaling" option, but it's kind of a brute force approach that causes a big FPS hit. Still even with just a single GTX 970 I can turn it up a bit to clean up the worst aliasing.
+Celtic Saint I hate it but I will agree on the realism, so many idiots just set their brain to derp mode, turn their cell phones on and fling themselves blindly into traffic.
Hey Sqirrel glad to hear your getting better man I've been looking for your vids all week but now we know now also could you also do SimCity as well please if you have the game? Keep getting well man
"I went to an event the other day"... HA !! Busted... not THAT sick then, were you Paul ??? Hmm ? Can't sit in your jimjams and record a game, but can go out having fun and getting drunk and stuff... hahaha, I'm just busting your chops mate, I don't care either way... but it's like when you call out sick when you have a real job, but you're not, you just can't be arsed to get up, then the next day, you say something to trip yourself up...
+arupian666 my voice and sinuses were shot to pieces so I was unable to record video with commentary. I was still able to go into London and capture game footage of Planet Coaster though.
I just think there are too many sims out there, so many I''d like to try but just don't have the time. I really envy you Squirrel, I mean this IS your day job. That I can just wake up and go to work saying, "What do I feel like simming today?" Man that is a dream job!
so true
You don't need to apologise for anything Paul. Your health is more important then videos. Hope you're well now.
Hope you feel better. my favorite thing to do when I'm sick is watching squirrel videos.
In America, those singing bugs at night are crickets, although they look like stubby black grass hoppers.
Love this series. I'm new to the channel and I can't get enough.
Regarding 11:30, I've also had this happen to me ALL THE TIME in ETS2 lately. I swear it used to be better, but the last month or so they pull out in front of me almost every time. Also tons of merge lanes just have cars sitting in them because the AI collided with itself. Part of that I attributed to map mods, but maybe it's a more global issue after all.
28:55 As long as it's toggleable, that might be a neat feature. (And then they could maybe give you some bonus experience for doing so, and maybe even give you more experience for doing it quickly.)
Cicadas are also in the US. Most of the time you'll find them in Rural Areas where you have lots of trees.

Hi Paul, glad to see you back 👍🏻
16:27 WIND GENERATOR LMAO
Personally I hope the Steam Workshop becomes popular, so far the mods I have found tend to all use the garbage download sites.
I hauled virtually that same configuration day cab pete/150BBL Vac tanker (thats what it is btw) for 3 years in North Dakota, not used to seeing them clean.
Though you probably had a bit more power in your truck. I have a friend who hauls belly dumps up in ND, MT, ID and he drives a Freightliner with a 500hp ISX and 18 speed Ultrashift.
Those bugs are crickets. They make that noise pretty much all night long. During the day they are quiet.
Hope you get well soon Paul. I built a gaming pc just to play Euro Truck Simulator 2. Yourself and Keralis made me want to play the game. Thanks to your videos I am building myself a reasonably good trucking empire! :)
Feel better. People love squirrels more when their tails are bushy.
Watch it, your parallel parking now sux!! You can't be wonderful at everything! My reverse parking is bloody brilliant, but I'm taking shortcuts with parking at the kitchen bench...I'm not parking straight on. It's all good, I can sit up and turn my body slightly to cope with it...it does make you take a longer look at stuff though, and actually think about stuff.
Another great vid Squirrel. Glad to hear you are on the mend.

the resin is to meanly keep the dust done as vehicles come and go so people don't complain down wind
Glad that you are feeling better Paul!! really enjoying the Diaries would love to see you start a Euro track sim 2 Diaries from the start.
I'm in Orlando Florida on holiday and the trucks are really quiet and huge but the peterbuilt day cabin that u have are usually used for fuel from what I gather but it's only struck me how ats is so like real life in America but I love ur vids and try to keep up even when I'm away from Ireland :)

Honestly Squirrel you REALLY should invest in the Kenny, it is worth every penny to your company. After that you can do your upgrades or buy a new garage.
get the w900 with the sleeper cab and big engine squirrel!! :) please, I'm excited for that lol :D
I hope he gets that as well
If you get the w900 I recommend the w900 mega sound pack w/ Cummins n14 2.1 update. The cummins sounds really awesome. Keep on truckin' !! Also I'm a huge fan!!!
+roadking2016 on steam Squirrel uses odd_fellow's engine sound pack for the W900.

+Lufferov Oooops... wrote this comment before I got to the part in the video where you talked about this! Haha....
squirrel no need to apologise, can't help getting ill, but glad to see you back better mate
The sound hearing form your beatles are what we call peppers and there are frogs but we also have crikeat
Watching this series over again and he is talking about Planet Coaster, when now we have Planet Zoo aswell!
It's Crickets making the noise in the states (at night) at least.
@squirrel the new Volvo from Aradeth is a very good truck, maybe you should buy that one.
and the v1.3 makes 2 of the garages into Volvo dealers
When he was talking about planet coaster he also basically fully describe thrillville off the rail
the steam workshop is brilliant! it is so easy to use.
nice to see that you are feeling better....great video
Hope Squirrel you get rid of that cold, again great video 👌

Hope your feeling better.......keep up the good vids....all the best.
Lmao I just watched Abott and Castello they are hilarious, Then this. What a day am having.

aw dude i missed you man hope you get better soon

Thanks for the new video. I see no reason to rush in to the Kenny upgrade, just another way to increase your loan expense. Grow the business.
I don't even watch the videos, I just run it in the background and listen to him talk like listening to a Podcast while I play or work.
Is anyone else rewatching the series
Get the Keny as soon as you hit level 10
New Banner says "The Home of Simulation". I thought I was on Ashley Young's Channel.
It is ok Paul, hope u get better soon
people do get sick sometimes i hoop you feel alot better soon and its ok to take some time off sometimes
So right about consoles but yet still no ats 4 years later.. Lookinf into getting computer just for this game
Hey Squirrel, I saw that you always drive at a lower speed than the max limit. Did you know that you can actually drive 4mph higher than the limit speed at any time and any place?
Lol the best part of these episodes is where Squirrel curses the cops cuz he thinks they're responsible for having him pull over at the weight stations.

Squirrel, you should try out the Freightliner Classic XL mod at some point
+SmeagolPlaysMC indeed a awesome truck :)
Ik 7years late but construction sights use a ton of water a day to keep dust down and mixing concrete and what have u
Don't say sorry for the lack of content! You were ill so I think people understand that you just need some big Squirrel love =) This was a great video btw =)
Is it really the cops that make you pull in to the weigh station? I thought (in the game) it was more or less random, but I don't think it's connected to passing a cop car.
Glad you're back and uploading. Have you looked into doing a play series on No Man's Sky when it is released?
Squirrel for those of us who don't know do MODS have to be any order or can they just be put in randomly and still work?
squirrel. during the times you played euro truck, did you ever encounter your other drivers in the company and do you think that you may in this when you expand it eventually, I say eventually as I think ya should get the Kenny lol to me big kenworths are the image I see when I think of American trucking lol keep it up your videos are helping me through many sleepless nights.
DX11 support would be great for VR!
If you ever get the w900 from the showroom change the sound on it if possible it's not that good
Hi
Hi
speaking of flight sim, will you bring back discovering great Britain? plus get well soon
AGREED! :D
4:02 is the western star in the game or is it a mod
dasquirrel Paul how do you like the new game division I would like to see you do a review of the division and weapons mods and armor mods
+Dustin Chattaway I don't have the time required to grind The Division tbh
+Squirrel are you going to use the workshop.
DaSquirrel Paul I kinda thinking that maybe since you are very busy with making content and life that maybe you could try the division more in a causal way. More to sometimes have a small change it up and to role play Someone choosing to just have fun without the need to feel the need to grind at all
Save and expand!
hey squirrel when are you going to do another Construction Simulator?
Hey squirrel I've been wondering do you have Windows software for your computer or what computer software do you use and what do you use for recording and editing software?

Paul it just its own shop now and it's called hobbys
SQUIRREL ROCKS!!!
Squirrel will you be making any videos of the New RollerCoaster Tycoon World due out at the end of the month?
You are soo right it would do great. I have a console and if I had the money I would buy a pc and ATS
I actually quite like the AI problem re other car users. It adds a touch of realism to the driving. Nutters on the road, and all that.
+Celtic Saint I hate it but I will agree on the realism, so many idiots just set their brain to derp mode, turn their cell phones on and fling themselves blindly into traffic.
Hey Sqirrel glad to hear your getting better man I've been looking for your vids all week but now we know now also could you also do SimCity as well please if you have the game? Keep getting well man
good to see you back,,,,:)
Love the vids too especially this series
We have Hobby and Toy up here in Canada....
"I went to an event the other day"...
HA !! Busted... not THAT sick then, were you Paul ??? Hmm ? Can't sit in your jimjams and record a game, but can go out having fun and getting drunk and stuff...
hahaha, I'm just busting your chops mate, I don't care either way... but it's like when you call out sick when you have a real job, but you're not, you just can't be arsed to get up, then the next day, you say something to trip yourself up...
+arupian666 my voice and sinuses were shot to pieces so I was unable to record video with commentary. I was still able to go into London and capture game footage of Planet Coaster though.
+Squirrel I know mate, I was just teasing.
+Squirrel hi
good your back
22:25 how did you know it would be thirty minutes.
is it possible to get jobs through world of trucks like you can in ets2
Do some more omsi vids
Hey Squirrel, I was wondering... What kind of wheel do you use?
What happened to omsi 2 videos? I loved those also what software do you use to record these videos?
Get well soon
