    As an avid flight simmer, I can't thank you enough for this! just purchased ETS2 and it's daunting for me, so many thanks for thinking of us noobs ☺

    I love how the moment he says "I'll teach you how to drive a truck" he veers into the oncoming lane. xD I know, I know, he's trying to drive straight using that camera angle but still. lol Love it!

    Finally, someone shows us newbies how to set up the controls. I'm familiar with a truck, I drove for 20 years but this is a whole new world for me. Thank you Squirrel, appreciate your tutorials and will be watching more.

    Just bought American Truck Sim last night and am really excited about it. I've never played Euro, so am as green as green can be. I'm so glad I found your channel. You're a very good teacher. Looking forward to watching more! ;)

    I downloaded and watched this series of videos a few days ago after receiving this game as a present.
    I found it very helpful/useful.
    I only played games like Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3/4/New Vegas etc before.
    I'm playing with an XBox Controller on PC now. But trying to get used to the new functions etc is very hard for me. I'm sure I haven't figured out all the available XBox Controller Functions for this game. I'm using a mix of controller/keyboard/mouse..
    Thank you for making these videos!

    @highfructosefun7503 Před 8 lety +1

    I would highly recommend anyone who only has 1 display and doesn't have track ir to check the option for the screen to turn in the direction you are turning. i forget what its called but it helps out so much because you are able to look into a turn.

    @ecwjr3549 Před 4 lety

    Thank you for this video. I had been a fan of Microsoft Train Simulator for a long time, but since it won't work great with Win10, I haven't found another train sim as good. I have been watching people play it on Twitch, and figured that I would ive the game a try. The videos have been helpful in answering some questions that I have had before spending my money.

  • @AristotelisMitsiou

    How ironic it is that Squirrel is teaching us to play a game which:
    1. Is based and uses similar structure to ETS2 (a game which most of us have been playing for a long time)
    2. He always finds himself trouble in the streams especially, and everyone has to help him out

    • @ATaleOfGothic
      @ATaleOfGothic Před 8 lety +24

      +Aristotelis Mitsiou (tkk7406)
      1. Maybe he wants to show new truckers, how to set everything up?
      2. Try playing ETS2 whilest streaming. You're constantly distracted... Check Chat, Check Stream, Always talk about something. All those things are very distracting. Also I dont see how he "always" needs help.

    • @fazsum41
      @fazsum41 Před 8 lety +1

      I ain't familiar with it, i play xbox and the only pc games i play now are MSFS2004, lock on, falcon bms and warthunder

    • @AristotelisMitsiou
      @AristotelisMitsiou Před 8 lety +1

      Dawid Sopata 1. There's not something groundbreaking there, and especially after he mentioned what he'll be showing in every episode, it's only any good for beginners.
      2. That's why it's a relaxing game, though it must be said that it's not the most difficult thing in the world, especially when he's accustomed to ETS2 for 3 years now.
      kieran farrell That's perfectly fine sir, it's been made for people like you.

    • @squirrel
      @squirrel  Před 8 lety +41

      It's not aimed at veterans of ETS2. Having said that a lot of experienced truck simmers still struggle with reversing and parking so maybe they will get something out of the videos. If you won't, that's cool, don't watch.

  • @tomservo75
    @tomservo75 Před 2 lety

    You seem to be omniscient, Squirrel, I always find the video I need exactly when I need it! I've been driving ATS for some time now and never had much of an issue with controls until I got a VR+wheel setup, then it all went haywire I can't seem to get the controls of the wheel set up, heck it won't even steer. So hopefully this will give me some insight. I think I should also find the backing up tutorial useful. I can do it easily with no trailer and reasonably well with just a single trailer, but anything more than that and forget it, I always end up smushing the trailers together.

  • @DoomBunnyKiller00
    @DoomBunnyKiller00 Před 5 lety

    Well after trying out the demos for ETS 2 & ATS i decided on purchasing ETS 2 since i'm an American & Europe is pretty foreign to me so i think it'll be fun to drive around someplace that i'm not too familiar with (although i've never been to any of the states that ATS offers so far either). This video helped me out quite a bit. Thanks!!

    some episodes should be combined into one. like driving, reversing and parking the trailer. like learning how to drive, then wait a day or more just to learn reversing propely? better to combine them

    • @squirrel
      @squirrel  Před 8 lety +29

      Don't agree. People can only take so much in one go. Plus they are built so you can come back later and refer to specific lessons.

    Hello Squirrel, I've just realized that you never got to finish this School Series .. Episodes 7 and 8 are missing :( .. The recent upgrade of ETS2 made me realize that I never got to learn how to use the Retarder & Engine brake properly, so I came here to refresh my knowledge of the game .. I know that a lot of time has passed by, but could you please consider to produce these two missing Episodes? Thanks a lot for all the Content that you have produced and shared with the ETS/ATS community, it's much appreciated :) Best wishes.

    I was playing the steam Demo at work today. It's pretty fun and addicting, i'll say. I'm going to purchase this game this weekend. Glad I found this video(s). One question, but is this game multi-player? I guess, I'm asking if there will be other people on when I'm driving.

    See this would have helped me when I started playing 18 Wheels of steel back in 2012. However All things considered I did too pretty well for like my first official delivery minus one thing I might have taken an electric pull out of the ground which I thought I had enough clearance on the side but at the time I was using a keyboard and 18 Wheels of steel is not very forgiving unless you have a steering wheel or controller which back in 2012 I didn't even know gaming consoles existed.

    Great video Squirrel and I'm looking forward to more videos on this series. Just one tip though, in this video I thought you were a bit too formal. I would have liked that you just talked like you do in any other video, very relaxed but still focusing on the video. But if you desire to be formal in these videos its fine, it's not my channel so I shouldn't be the one making the changes here but I just wanted to let you know about my small concern

    I don't know whether it's just me, but I prefer the live commentary videos where Squirrel has a bunch of notes and just goes along with it as he does his gameplay, much like his OMSI and flying videos. It just feels a little scripted where we can't really interactive and immerse with the video. But that may just be my opinion aha
