Building a $10,000 Rig to Play Euro Truck Simulator 2

0:15 >spends 10k on a cockpit >DLC map not included

Can't wait to buy this for $20 in the next garage sale

I like to think that Linus just wanted to dress up as a trucker for some reason and the rest of the video was made around that

American stereotyping for a european based game. What a fun mix.

Trucker fun facts: 1. It is VERY hard to stall, you dont use the throttle while letting out of the clutch. Even on hills. 2. The pee jug thing is actually pretty common 3. Police dont need a reason to pull you over, they can literally decide to just pull over blue trucks because its Tuesday. 4. Generally speaking, we can only be inspected/cited by state certified police, which is pretty much only state police, so if you see a sherriff ignoring a speeding truck, its because he cant do much. 5. When using an engine brake, the truck engine doesnt burn fuel, so technically the engine isnt running while theyre activated. 6. Truck brakes have springs that keep the brakes applied, they need air to push back on the springs to release, and another flow of air to push against THAT supply to brake. So if an air system fails on a truck, all of the brakes are set. No air = no move. 7. Seriously we pee in pop bottles sometimes 8. Typical truck transmissions have 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, or 18 gears. 9. Truck tires are typically inflated to 105 to 110psi 10. Semi trucks routinely achieve 1 million miles, some well over 2 million.

Man, I miss Euro Truck Simulator! Last time I fired it up, I got so into it that I spent 6 hours hauling cargo just to bail my driver out of debt. It was like a digital road trip of financial redemption. Good times, good times!

"That's not going anywhere" The famous line from every truckdriver before stuff falls out and off :P Just missed the slap on it :D

Linus, my mother used to drive the big Blue Bird and International school busses... She had some rather "interesting comments" about the steering ball you're playing with. For a woman who rarely cussed and was happiest driving "the short bus", the comments would have turned your ears blue. She also competed in state bus challenges for her school district, all without the help of that ball you're gripping. I wish she were still around. She would have loved to see this. Sadly between having MS (which stopped her driving school busses) and getting the flu, she passed away almost 20 years ago.

lmao 15:42 the cops just speed past you , not even concerned about the truck that just crashed into the trees

18:48 Transducers are a must have. So good if you are using one, then it turns off mid driving, the rig feels broken. Most underrated simracing item for sure.

Big thanks to all the actual truckers out there that do this for a living day in and day out to put cheap Walmar t-shirts in our closests and food in our stomachs.

We need 24h livestream of Linus trucking all day on Multiplayer 😂

This could be just me, but the 2 in the video title sent me looking for the “first video I somehow missed” before I realized it was just the name of the game -,-

This game in VR is a real blast.

It's an amazing game. I read an article in the Guardian about it years ago when they were asking why so many people come home from work to play games about work. It's down to our need to do a job well and we take comfort/find joy when we do.

I love how all the stuff comes together. I however am interested in a Flight-Sim setup for DCS, Star Citizen or Microsoft Fight Sim. Monstertech, VKB, Virpil, etc. A proper setup

Once you get it, backing a very long trailer is much easier than backing a short trailer, because it's a lot more stable. Shirt trailers jackknife much faster than semi trailers when reversing.

Linus on his streak of pronouncing Slavic towns' names wrong.

Just some pointers. For truck driving, you should have mounted the wheel base backwards and tilted it back, so the wheel gets closer to you. Also, head-tracking works marvellously even with triple monitors.

This is the Farming Simulator adjacent content we've all been waiting for.
