First time viewing one of your video's. Thus I don't know you from Adam. As I watched this video and listened to your comment about breaking. Reckon it's only me, but you seem to be driving your tractor trailer as one would drive a car. There's a weight factor that comes into play that prehaps your not aquainted with. Watching you approach an stop. Not knowing your driving a tractor trailer. Appear's as if your driveing a car.
That's an interesting observation, thanks! I think I might know why this is happening, but the answer is a bit ... complicated. I'm going to bring up your observation in the next episode and talk about what I think might be the cause. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts after I discuss it. Thanks again!
You're driving in one of my favourite neck of the woods! Coos Bay and Newport. We love staying in Yachats, just south of there. And Thor's Well? That's in Yachats! Woo!
Nice! I've not spent time there in real life, but it looked like everything I've imagined it to be in the game. :) Have you been to Thor's Well, then? That looked pretty cool.
@@ZillaBlitz Believe it or not, we haven't. When we go down there, it's mainly for rest and relaxation so we haven't done a lot of sight-seeing. Thor's Well is just a little bit south of there I think.
That must be why I can't look with my mouse hand! It's too busy talking! Mystery SOLVED! And haha! I didn't even realize I had made that semi-joke! Too funny, nice catch!
The wheels seems to be a little better, wondered what was going on after your sleep, it was though all the lights had been switched off. Excellent work on the parking.
I think that perhaps that trailer rest area was just unlit, so it was hard to see anything outside of the lights of the truck. I feel like the game might be a touch too dark. But I think I can also put my running lights on to help. I've probably got to buy some of them and turn them on. :)
With the hidden roads you should still have the achievement that you earned when you discovered them but its just not reflected on the map now due to the changes they made to these in 1.44. You can lock your pedals to the carpet; on the underside there is a button to press that releases a traction like thing that grabs hold of the carpet.
Haha! Yes on the achievement. I noticed that I misspoke when I was editing the video, and I thought, "I should add some text clarifying that..." But then I thought that perhaps people wouldn't pick up on it. But you spotted it, of course. :) Nicely done. :) I think the gripper is down actually, it's just that I really have to push the brake to stop the truck so it still slides a little bit. I think I'm going to try to take the rubber piece out of the base plate.
i have the same wheel and pedals, i just got used to playing on all default settings in the logitech g hub software. after while of using the brake you get used to the feeling of it. also, setup a trailer brake keybind on one of the face buttons of the wheel, helps a TON. also an engine brake as well.
On bottom of pedals is a carpet grip u can release that keeps the pedals from sliding. Works pretty good. As for the break, it's super stiff and one of the complaints with the 29 (PlayStation)/920 (Xbox)
@@ZillaBlitz that is the Reason I roll down my window. You also buy different scents. I ask her to buy different scents from throughout the country , New York has it’s own smell so does hog country it is endless by the way I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING . My wife thought I was crazy. Enjoy and have fun with them.
Definitely smoother this time. Other than a couple of times where the brakes may have been an issue, if I hadn't known you had switched wheels and had some issues with the settings, I wouldn't have noticed. I'm sorry I'm not of more use making suggestions lol. I'm more helpful in the wargaming space :).
Yeah, I think the last thing to tweak is the brake pad, but I should be able to sort that out this week, even if I decide to do some surgery on it. Then I want to map some of the buttons to things like the lights and cruise control. Definitely a bit step up. :) And no worries on the suggestions! I'm hoping to start some new wargaming series soon, Stealth and Sea has been long with all the interruptions. :)
@@ZillaBlitz Maybe if your Italian Torpedo Sub crews installed a G920, the skill check for turning would be much easier. I am thinking Optional Rule...
With thinking like this, it's clear why you are such a rising content creator! Brilliant! I've passed your suggestion onto our mechanics, and they replied with "What's a USB port?" But I feel like that's just a detail. We'll get it sorted.
Sure thing. I have a second channel for PC games now, and the most up-to-date specs are in the description of the latest video: th-cam.com/video/vYNZVaw9wzQ/w-d-xo.html Good luck!
I used to load crab in coos bay. It’s a beautiful ride
Very cool! That must be hard work.

Yes, I forget whether it showed up just north or south of Newport in the game, but not far from there, for sure. :)
I am impressed with your ability to drive and talk with your hands :) Also, Semi-happy... badum, tish

3m makes car cleaning suplies
When it started to rain I was telliing you to turn your lights on and you heard me this time!! Roflmbo Good episode!
I knew I heard a voice in the back of my head telling me to turn on my lights, thanks! Saved me another fine, for sure. :)

Oh, that's helpful, thanks! I'll check out the additional braking options too, that's a great idea. Thanks much! :)
@@ZillaBlitz no problem man, loving the video’s lately too
Thanks, Lemanski!
On bottom of pedals is a carpet grip u can release that keeps the pedals from sliding. Works pretty good. As for the break, it's super stiff and one of the complaints with the 29 (PlayStation)/920 (Xbox)
Thanks! I'll check that carpet grip. I thought it was in place, but I'll have to take a look. I haven't played around with it. :)
I had my daughter get me some Pine Tree scent. i spray it in the pine tree areas...I makes it a little more real..
Hahaha! This is the best idea ever. :)
@@ZillaBlitz that is the Reason I roll down my window. You also buy different scents.
I ask her to buy different scents from throughout the country , New York has it’s own smell so does hog country it is endless by the way I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING . My wife thought I was crazy. Enjoy and have fun with them.
I really think I should test this out, sounds like fun! And thanks, I'm glad that you are enjoying the videos. :)
Ran into a speed trap.
I get those a lot, it would appear. I'm funding half the police departments in the western US. :)
You could try fiddling with the brake linearity, if that's available to you. That makes it more exponential than linear, though it's a low exponent.
Oh, thanks! I saw that last night and was wondering what it meant. I’ll play with that a bit yes.
nice to at least be tweaking on a more futureproofed wheel :) Oh it's quite like advanced mouse settings really. So cool at night in the forest!
Yes, the wheel is starting to come together now, and it's so nice to not have to reset it every other play session. :)
@@ZillaBlitz must be satisfying :)

I have a lot of luck using Track IR, no need for the hat switch.
Good to know, thanks! :)
I don't know anything about these wheels, so I'm not of help when it comes to those, but the steering settings seem to work quite well now!
We're getting there, for sure. Just the brakes left to sort out and then I'm in happy lala land. :)
American trucks sure has lots of dials...
True that! To be honest, I've never noticed that before. They don't seem to actually do anything, at least in the game. :)
Do you like the noen that some people have on tong truck
Sorry, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that. :)
I love my G920, but I can't get it to work with VASAL... ; )
Heh. Are you trying to use it with infantry units? Mine works great with armor but "walk mode" seems a bit glitchy to be honest.

@@ZillaBlitz minor details... Tell them a USB port does not have torpedo netting, that will encourage them
@@HissyCat I've sent a telegram to them with that information, thanks! We'll see what they say.
Hi zill a how are you you know you can move around the mouse to look around
I was actually thinking about that a bit for sharp cornering. For whatever reason I tend to not have developed the habit of doing that. Thanks!
@@ZillaBlitz no problem you should try it sometime
I think it would help a lot with the sharp corners, I'll try it next time. Thanks!
@@ZillaBlitz ok
Also zilla are you in the public beta?
Hello, since you can't use a wheel on cloud gaming, what are you using to run your American Truck Simulator? Please help
I play on Steam/PC. Not sure what cloud gaming service you are referring to, but it's not available on XBox.
@@ZillaBlitz I'm referring to GeForce Now, I play through it but when I play through just stream the game slows down. Can you share your PC specs?
Sure thing. I have a second channel for PC games now, and the most up-to-date specs are in the description of the latest video:
