Truckers of Europe 2 Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Become a Top-Notch Truck Driver

1. Discover The Best Settings Configuration For You

While it is okay to let the excitement take over and jump right in on your first delivery task, what we would always recommend players, especially for shooters, fighting games, and driving games, is to check and make necessary adjustments first to the game’s settings and options. Of course, the overall game settings are expected to be configured as best as possible for everyone but no single configuration scheme will simply be a perfect fit for everyone.

There are basically 2 sets of configurations you should look into before you start driving, and these can be accessed by hitting the pause button at the upper right side of the screen once you start the truck’s engine. These are the settings menu and the controls, which only offer a few but important options you can tinker with. The settings menu holds options for sounds and graphics while the controls encompass everything about the control settings you can configure.

By default, Truckers of Europe 2 considers your device’s capacity to configure the graphic settings. However, it can happen that optimum graphic settings it chooses for you may still be difficult for your device to work with. In case you experience slowdowns, graphical glitches, or any type of problems that may be attributable to your device’s performance and processing capacity, you can always go for a lower graphics quality and resolution as well as turn off some of the game’s effects.

You will be primarily set to be able to steer the truck using a virtual steering wheel. You can, however, change it to buttons instead or even consider steering by tilting your device. Note that you can always change this at any time, so you should give each choice a quick spin just to get a good feel of it. The sensitivity level applies to steering and will be set at the mid-point by default. Increasing sensitivity would result in putting less effort to make a turn while reducing it will yield less steering with the same amount of effort.

Be sure and try to make adjustments as you test them in-between so you can eventually land the optimum sensitivity settings for you. Transmission can also be either automatic or manual. Manual transmission is certainly something worth experiencing but we recommend automatic transmission for beginners.

2. Drive Around The Garage Before Picking Your First Job

Tinkering with the different settings and control configurations will require a bit of testing and there is also a matter of getting accustomed to the button layout and overall controls. Although you can still do all that after you picked up the first cargo for delivery in the pursuit of completing your job, it is going to be a much bigger challenge to only practice everything with a huge trailer behind your truck. As such, we recommend that even after you have selected your first job, drive a little bit around the garage first and familiarize yourself with all the buttons.

Steering controls, unless it is through tilting, will be at the lower left side of the screen while the brakes and gas pedal are on the lower right side. Turn signals are just at the upper part of the steering controls and if you click on the “…” icon at the upper left side of the screen, you can see buttons for the hazard, wipers, and ignition.

Above the gas pedal is auto transmission controls which are oversimplified to say the least. It’ a click away from “D” or drive to “R” or reverse and vice versa. At the bottom of your screen where you can see the speedometer and the GPS map, there are small icons above them for the headlights and camera views.

Camera views provide 3 distinct perspectives, which also include a cockpit view. Beyond that, you can swipe anywhere on the screen to adjust your current view. Note that regardless of which perspective you choose, there are numerous instances when making manual adjustments to the camera will make navigation a lot easier. This especially applies when backing up to pick up or deliver goods as well as other difficult maneuvers you may encounter.

3. Take As Much Time As You Need

We just have to stress how much different driving sims are compared to racing games and it is very important to note that Truckers of Europe 2 is not a racing game. For one, faster driving leads to faster deliveries and more jobs taken over a given amount of time.

There are, however, no time limits imposed on any given job and certainly no added bonuses for delivering speedily. On the other hand, driving fast increases the chances of accidents that can just cause damage to your truck, damage to goods you are carrying, or even further slow the delivery time down in events of huge accidents.

In addition to the habitual use of the brake pads for stoplights and turns, setting a maximum speed lower than what your truck can actually go for is advisable most especially for beginners. There are hardly any straight roads in Truckers of Europe 2 and since the map you travel on is huge, to say the least, it will be difficult and potentially impossible to be familiar with its entirety. In this sense, it is best to avoid risks especially given the long drive that goes with each job and the random element as well of other vehicles on the road.

More so, Truckers of Europe 2 also employs different weather conditions as well as day and night rotation. If you find it very challenging to avoid collisions and inflicting damage on your truck as well as your precious cargo in daytime on a sunny weather, then expect the level of difficulty to climb up a little more when it starts to rain, when it gets dark, or when it is raining at night time.

Added effects can provide an extra layer of visual treat as well but it may also impact your device’s performance. Be sure to keep an eye out for weather and time on the road, and take even more care with your driving during these times.

An excellent tool for you to regulate your truck’s speed as well as reduce the exhaustion caused by manual acceleration and brake pumping is the cruise control. You can find the cruise control button just on top of the gas pedal.

Once you hit the desired speed, you can tap the cruise control button and your truck will diligently adhere to the current speed. You will still need to hit the brakes on stop lights and vehicles ahead of you but on long empty roads, the cruise control feature should be normally utilized.
