ETS2 Pro vs Noob

Video showcasing the diferences between noobs and pro players in ETS2. During the recording of this video I've noticed that I do a lot of noob stuff. At the end of the day we play the game to chill. Some take it more seriously and try to simulate driving a truck as realistic as possible, while others just want to press the gas and make deliveries as soon as possible. I do a little bit of both, sometimes xD

Noob: 125 km/h +
Pro: speed limit
Madlad: 140 on the sidewalk, avoiding all kind of speeding tickets.

After many hours. I finally yesterday figured out that i can take off the speed limiter.
Driving 139 km/h with a fully loaded truck is what i needed in my life

Parking your truck perfectly straightened with the trailer is a pure satisfaction

[channeltotalplane]

noob: tries to skip the queue to enter calais and causes congestion and anger
pro: sits on the motorway for 2 hours with everyone else

After +300 hours I have learned lots from my mistakes and definitely take the game calmly and relaxed, very much enjoyable this way and your skill improves a lot

I learned how to back up a trailer entirely from American Truck Simulator. I started trucking in Real life and my instructor was *very* pleased considering it was my first time backing a real trailer. The skill apparently transfers.

After watching this, im between of an average player.

I expected this to be an actual useful video with tips and examples like "the noob gets all the most expensive stuff on the truck" vs "the pro weighs all factors when customizing a truck and picks according to their needs", which I'm sure took long for many of us to get familiarized to. Instead this is more of a "players who don't care and don't take the game seriously" vs "legit roleplayers". I'm surprised that one of the video points isn't "the noob drives with kb/mouse" vs "the pro drives with a €1000 specialized gaming driving set with a custom truck shifter".

i think if someone is driving 90 on a autobahn it’s completely fine and “pro style”. every single trucker drives 90. limit is 80, but police around the world is mostly good to truckers allowing them to drive 90. love the fact that you implemented the 8x4 with a normal courtainside. literally one in three TMP drivers drive this kind of set

[namthanh]

Noob: use tow to service
Pro: use load autosave

I've got a real truck drivers license since a few days and i really changed my way if driving in ETS2, because i used it a lot for virtual driving training. Some people might say that this may be just a game and has not much to do with the reality but it some points its really helpful. I did a lot of parallel parking, backing up, taking sharp turns and yes... indeed... Real driving lessons were not that different at all...

[ASH_yt]

Noob:Testing truck top speed 150+
Pro:Maintains Speed limit as 120 in Highways

Noob:Loves the horn and keep on pressing it
Pro:Uses in need

Noob:Parks with exterior cam and not perfect
Pro:Parks with interior on checking mirrors and perfect

Very Nice Video, should be a Lesson Guide for new TruckersMP Players! :)

Here some few Opinions from an retired Truck Driver after 25 Years Experience.


0:16 - A real Truck Driver would turn around at the next possible spot and would enter the Company Gate from the opposite Lane/Dirction, to keep the stress off the Tyres and Chassis when the Truck is fully loaded. Or, when he knows the Location, he would generally come from the opposite Lane/Direction. ;)

Gaming Pro Tip: Set a Pennant at your Windshield and turn Cabin Accessiorie Physics on. If the Pennant reach the Edge of its moving Space and get stuck, then you are driving too fast around the turning. It also helps to reduce the tyre deterioration in the Game.

8:27 - A real Truck Driver would let the Engine running for 2 - 3 minutes after he reached the parking position, to cooldown the Engine and to make sure that the Turbo Charger have enough time to slow/cool down and getting colder oil.

10:05 - A real Truck Driver would check the Mirrors First, before changing the Lane, turn on the Indicator, checking again the Mirror and watching the Traffic behavior behind him when he change the Lane!

And a Bonus Rule for the Game and the real Life: Patience is the key, stay calm, behave nice and respectful and expecting Mistakes by Others.

This video is great as a new player. I picked up ETS2 this week and have about 30 hours, I always intended to keep it realistic and serious, and this has added a few extra things to my list I need to pay attention to.

Edit: It's a month later and I caught truck fever. I've got over 100 hours in ATS and nearly 95 hours in ETS2. Recently filled out my map expansions and have toyed around quite a lot with mods to cater to my preferred experience. This video was definitely a huge building block into how I truck now in both games.

How I drive in ETS2 really depends on how I wanna drive that time. Sometimes I wanna take it slow and relaxing, sometimes I like it fast. Still, violating red lights is a no-no, and I ain't noob enough to approach a tight turn too fast.

[Snufkin]

Noob is like Jeremy Clarkson. In those days, I believe speed and power will solve it all! But after playing for a long time, he finds it useless.
If you drive proficiently in ETS2, you're probably good at math. Handling a trailer is a sophisticated task, like moving a snake in a tight space, and requires computational power.

1. Check left and right when entering an intersection or road.
2. Obey the speed limit (some roads have sharp turns and you must drive 10-20 km/h slower than the speed limit).
3. Turn slowly on curves.
4. Always remember that a trailer over 10 meters long is being pulled behind you.
5. It rotates wide in narrow places.
6. Drive with a calm mind and concentration.

Following these guidelines will reduce accidents and significantly improve your driving habits.
Thanks to this game, many players get their truck license or work as a driver in real life!

Everyone did these noob things at least once, then learned from their mistakes and learned their limits. And remember, cruise control can be dangerous at cloverleaf junctions. 🙃

[Anvis]

Pro: Always know to keep left when the truck arrives in UK
Noob: Keep right in UK

[kevbytes]

Thank you for explaining the game to people who don't understand the basic concept behind it!
This seems to be necessary when you look at some TMP compilations... ^^

[ravenwda]

Noob: It's a game
Pro: It's a sim
