They will be possible, the doubles tandem behind a semitrailer is all you need for the real trailers to be functional. Also i have talked with Eryk (SCS programmer/dev) several times.. He confirmed these before the blog post even.

Dont ask, you wont get it. Waiting on SCS' heavy weight stuff to add finally the long waited support to the game engine..

So the things are there like things were here like 20 years ago. There were rules about driving times, But nobody really followed them because you couldnt afford to work nice 15 hour shifts, also police didnt watch them.. You just made the old tacho disc dissapear and put a new one in the bay and went off for another pickup. 30-40 hour drives were absolutely normal. Then go for max of like 8 hour rest, and off to drive again. I can say I done it too, now that the crime has expired long time ago. Either you used magnets just put new disc once old one runs out of time. Thankfully there is laws here in place now that you must pay atleast the minimal wage for the driver, otherwise would probably still be common to drive several 10 hour shifts in row without rest. and ofc it dangers the rest of the traffic.. I remember going through rail crossing gates with train coming.. But thats a story for some other day.

While the digital tacho machines put a stop to this, since the truck nows how long its been driven in a day, also it keeps track of how long the driver has been driving. You cant fool it so easily. But i guess such machines arent a thing in the south yet..

Yeah. Dont fall for those slavers.. They just get you in trouble with police at best, and probably doesnt even pay your wage properly.

Surely there is some legit transport companies around. Bigger the house is, most likely they actually pay their drivers and take care of them. Because if word gets around that they aint paying some driver.. Soon all of their drivers might refuse to work.

Good luck with your job hunting.

Whats with those tapes everywhere around the cab? Just slap some filler between the passenger side section, a toolbox or something and it'll instantly look prettier.. If you have a chance.

40 tons yeah it'll feel heavy for starters.. Now to think about it.. Finland just the truck alone is almost 40 tons.. Totaling to combination weight of 76 tons at best. And they are already testing heavier log trains up to 105 tons..

380hp with 910,000km isnt bad. is good enough for the 40 tons. I'm actually suprised how little its been driven. my R500 is about 50,000km away from 2,000,000km and its begging for new piston rings.

Either way. Have fun and drive safe. You are still a new driver for the heavier stuff, so take things slow and carefully.. When you pick up routine, things start to go faster. Just focus on doing it safe, speed will come on its own eventually.
You dont need 700hp for that. Those clowns burn it all in fuel and never even work the engine hard.

Now the real learning begins..
Enjoy... hehe

Even without any power, they are terrifying to drive at +100kph speed. The rear is just so light that it goes all over the place. Now add in a random turbocharger that has way too large compressor. and REALLY unpredictable carburettor setup where is literally single mixture, and thats so that it runs cool on full throttle.. Every other throttle postion, it shat fire and ran unwell due to absolutely messed up air to fuel mix.

Probably the best thing "Ford" ever made. Maybe because it was never made in USA in the first place..

RIP turbo bearings. I dont see oil lines to it, is there any?
Also you could make it work with the carbourettor, you just need to force the fuel through the carb with more pressure than the turbo is producing, I sort of built a sierra that had turbocharged carburettor engine. Make it proper! :D


Got any pics of that Sierra?  :ccmas:
i tied it around a tree like 20-25 years ago, I dont play with petrol toys anymore. Too much hassle, last one was a twin turbo 1JZ corolla abomination which disintegrated itself. Nowdays squeezing power and smoke out of old diesels

The turbo shaft bearings need constant oil pressure, just grab some/rip off some copper tube from somebody's house or something and rob oil pressure from the filter base and return it to somewhere. simple. or use hydraulic pipe. Shouldnt be hard, just remember to richen the mixture fairly much.. Mod the fuel pump? need higher pressure fuel pump basically so that it overcomes the air pressure. either wya, the turbo needs proper oil lubrication

No, GTA Online is p2p based unstable unreliable shit full of cheaters and rockstar gives no damn about them. Theres no servers, you connect straight to other players which makes it so easy to cheat there and not get caught.

Also pretty much every public game is full of cancerous attitude inmature children who shouldnt even be playing the game for next 8 years.

As long as socket matches on motherboard with the CPU's socket, Google the motherboard model, usually there is full details of what socket, memory type and speeds supported etc available online. Just make sure the parts you want to use on it are supported by the motherboard. If its anything withn like 6 years.. It should support just about any DDR3, most likely up to 32GB max.
New CPU and GPU will do wonders. in terms of GPU.. motherboard shouldnt be bottlenecking it, neither the CPU if they both are similar age, give or take few years. in 990x case socket is most likely AM3+
Just remember to use same type memory for each channel to maximize performance. Usually the averige consumer board has 2 memory channels which are marked with different colors. Put matching sticks on same color channels.

Quick sweep on google..
Phenom X4 960T? is it that? It seems to be overclockable, also seems to be locked 6 core.. Since its one of those strange AMD's creations. Absolutely no overclocking with stock cooler, I wouldnt even unlock the 2 extra cores with stock cooler. they generally start to heat up lot more when you unlock locked cores..

Classic generally "safe" way is CPU clock modifier. It generally is same and its been there for decades.

if your FSB or Base Clock is say 300Mhz. your clock modifier might be 10.0 (300Mhz x 10.0 = 3.0Ghz)
Increasing it like 1 step up or half step (if you can) up usually nets you 0.3-0.8Ghz overclock.. Intel CPUs you can generally safely increase by 1 or 2 steps without having to increase CPU voltage. Which gets to a point where heat and dead hardware chances increase exponentially.

Since i havent touched at modern AMD CPU for years I have no idea about their life how they work.
I just assume the Boost is like intel turbo boost where it adjusts its clock speed and power usage depending on CPU usage. This feature is on usually by default when you buy CPU off the shelf. If this is custom built system. It should be on already. But if this is some prebuilt package, it might been turned off due to instability with the hardware or something.

How is your CPU cooling handled? is it the stock toyfan or some block of copper and aluminium or water block? with Stock cooler, Dont even look at overclocking, or maybe your boost glitch is the inefficient stock cooler...

Needs moar details generally if you want detailed help

Router heat? Router uptime? does it have actual antennas on the router or some built in crap inside the box?. If it has antennas sticking out.. you can do the beercan reflector on it and point it towards your laptop.. That should help bit to direct the radiowaves to your direction.

Honestly.. if your router doesnt have even proper antennas.. Its an cheap primitive one given by your ISP and it should be thrown out the window and get an actual router that is meant for wireless load.

Heat is a factor in routers.. The larger load it has.. more heat it obviously puts out, only professional routers even have active cooling in them. the ISP's passively cooled plastic pizza heaters almost always lose performance because of the insanely hot ambient temperature. Also the transmitters wear quicker due to the heat. also the firmware may start to hang because of heat.
