I wonder to how many people here this sim is a guilty pleasure..... :-)


We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

I find once you like FS, you like sim games.  I've been on civil FS for over 10 years, but I still find other sims titles very fascinating!

 

Although I am not a Trucker, I do like to be kept updated with sims other than FS!

Yes, and the whining began moments after the v1.4 'patch' was released...

 

I immediately noticed that the new "retarder" sound is 100dB louder than the engine sounds. It is awful!
