The sign hitchhiking was funny. I rarely make a right turn on red because of the game mechanics, I usually end up with a ticket so I just wait it out. Usually don't use my signal so I will try that. Be glad no one thought to put fines in for cutting through a blocked area...rofl. The parking was a little off but I'd have never been able to not hit those trailers so... GOOD JOB. Be blessed
Yeah, I kind of gave up for a while making right turns on red for the same reason, but lately I was on a run of success. The signaling is a key though. If you don't signal, it's an automatic fine.
To get adaptive cruise to work I think you have to switch cruise on with "c" first, then press the button you've mapped for adaptive cruise. Another great video
I lived in Santa Fe for quite a few years. The Albuquerque Junction is the meeting of Interstates 25 and 40. Locals have a less kind name for it, not suitable for a family channel. And, yeah, the game is pretty accurate with New Mexico traffic.
"The Big I" is part of it, but locals add another word in the middle to make it a more scatological reference. Too bad the game doesn't really do justice to La Bajada. That's the ridge south of the city. In real life, coming north from Albuquerque, it's a stretch about 3 miles long with more than a 3,000' elevation increase. Your current truck would hit the bottom at 75, and struggle to stay above 30 by time you reached the crest.
I liked the adaptive cruise control to begin with, but it quickly became annoying. Speaking of turn signals, I have mine mapped to the top left and right buttons on my G27 wheel; you can tell you have been playing ATS too much when you start looking for the turn signal buttons when real life driving...
Haha! Yes, I can totally relate to that. Yeah, I'm not so inclined to think that I'll like the adaptive cruis control, but I want to give it a shot with an open mind. :)
When the game traffic gridlocks, I use the console: g_traffic 0 then g_traffic 1. That turns the traffic off and back on again. (Sometimes the gridlock can be a single vehicle in front of you on a single-lane ramp that refuses to move.)
That's good to know that trick, thanks! I kind of like the challenge of getting around some of these things, but I can see a time when the game just doesn't give us an option. That'll be handy to know. :)
To turn on Adaptive cruise control you first must have it on in the Game Settings and set the distance options (I'd rec always the closest distance). Then in game press your normal cruise control to on (No special key needed to turn on adaptive ) and then it will take over and slow you down based on what distance you selected, just be aware it wont be any good for sudden stops so always be prepared.
I have a couple suggestions for your next trucks, Maybe the new VNL or Cascadia or the badass 389 however these are just my suggestions you choose whatever you want :)
What's strange about the left blinker is that as soon as you started turning right it should have popped out of the left position, but it just stuck there. Time to go back to a dealership and have your steering column checked.
You were playing with fire when you were crossing that rail crossing at Albuquerque. If you do that in Europe in your MAN, you'll get fined big-time! When that crossing lights flash and the bells clang, you gonna stop, because the train's coming! I just saw a video of a truck whose trailer, which was full of bottled salsa, got OBLITERATED by a Norfolk Southern train. Next time, when the rail crossing warning units activate, just do the sensible thing and stop. You wanna set an example to your younger viewers, right?
OK, I can forgive the "just smash a sign to go around a car stalled in an intersection" since you DID show us the problem, and in real-life, people WOULD have started to inch around it to get moving somehow. What I can NOT excuse is coming up on a railroad signal that was flashing red, and NOT looking each way--even big-rigs LOSE TO TRAINS! Yes, the arms weren't down, but that was a risk no one should ever take. If you had stopped and looked, or even made a look while coming up on it since you were complaining you have no get-up-and-go, but to just motor through it?
Definitely a walk on the wild side with that train crossing. I did have a good sense that from peripheral vision that nothing was coming (trains cross very slowly there), so I felt fairly comfortable making the move. Probably should have given a better look though, you're right. :)
This series should be called "criminal on the road"😀
I think I was feeling the pressure of getting the waste paper there before it went bad. I mean, waste paper doesn't last forever. ;)
6:33 man you had me crying too funny
😃 Some deliveries are time sensitive, yes. Delay is deadly. 😁

Aha! Thanks Sam! I will get this right next time, thanks! :)
Good entertaining run. Thanks.

Interesting, thanks! I see some references to "The Big I" on the Internet, it does look pretty massive come to think of it.

I do think New Mexico does show its age as one of the earlier DLCs in the game. They've really upped their game since that time.
Great episode keep up your fantastic content
Thanks!
The confluence of roads reminded me of spaghetti junction in the UK. It's not the prettiest but I guess most UK drivers have heard of it.
I think I've heard of spaghetti junction here in the US. Is it referring to a junction in the UK? That's odd that I'd have heard of it.
@@ZillaBlitzPC That junction in Ablaquecue is one of the few four level interchanges in the USA.

Thanks very much! For a bus driver, you give great directions! This is super helpful. ;)

I definitely want to try the new Volvo, but I'll probably do that in the original series. We'll be with the Kenworth for a while in this career. :)
@@ZillaBlitzPC Ahh Ok besides i very much like the Kenworth :)

Oh, yes, that's right, isn't it? That should have popped out, at the very least after I straightened back out. We got a defective truck. :)
@@ZillaBlitzPC Dang switches in the column lol.
Hi zilla how are you Mexico looks good
Thanks! Not quite to Mexico yet. A few more episodes, but things are good. I hope all is well with you and your new channel! :)
Ye I'm good thanks only have me and my ateeq only subbed there but ye
goto new york
0:40 don't try this at home. Hilarious.😂
That probably should apply to everything I do in this game, to be fair. ;)

The traffic is realistic they don’t know how to drive here
To be fair, we don't know how to drive in the US either. :)
We bought a new truck, but you can't see it."
Guess what speaker I have. It is better than bose
