Realism through Simulation
I play a lot of simulation based video games. Actually…if the game doesn’t have the word “simulation” in the title, I’m very much liable to pass it by. I also have an extremely narrow definition of the word “simulation” and there are some very popular game titles using the word “simulation” in their name. Some…
RusMap–My First Impressions
I realize the RusMap map mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 is far from new. As you probably know, this map mod includes 30 cities in Russia and 12 cities in Belarus. The most current version of RusMap is version 1.6.1 which was released on or about 21 February 2016. As the blog title suggests,…
Car Mechanic Simulator–Expert Mode
The much anticipated Car Mechanic Simulator – Expert Mode has arrived. I began seeing chatter in the Steam CMS15 discussion pages regarding the imminent availability of 1.0.6.3 about 10 days ago. Unfortunately, the initial timeline was believed to be only two days away…but that proved to be a little longer. CMS15 1.0.6.3 officially dropped on…
FS15 How To–Setup Logitech G27 & Extreme 3D Pro Joystick
I’ve been searching for a way to enable BOTH my Logitech G27 wheel/pedal/shifter unit AND my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick in Farming Simulator 15. I’ve worn Google out and have read through many forums. I’ve also watched several YouTube videos. Unfortunately, much of the information available is either in a non-English language or more…
Trucker’s Logbook #5
It’s been a while since I’ve spent much time in American Truck Simulator. As I believe I’ve mentioned before, within the first few weeks of playing I had pretty much discovered everything there was to discover within California and Nevada. ATS was released almost two months ago (2 Feb.) and at the time I write…
Auction Report – Chevrolet Bel Air
I’ve been busy at buying cars at auction, repairing them and re-selling them. Mostly for fairly descent profit. While my first auction produced a profit, that profit was rather small at only a little over $5,000. Part of that was due to not fully knowing how to resolve body issues on sections of the car…
Farming Simulator 17–Looking Ahead
October has been an important month in the Farming Simulator franchise. As it has historically been the month in which the new version of Farming Simulator has been released. Farming Simulator 11 was released on October 29, 2010, Farming Simulator 13 was released on October 25, 2012 and Farming Simulator 15 was released on October…
FS Mod Review–Bale Counter
While baling hay or straw, do you wonder just how many bales you’ve made? Wonder no more with the Bale Counter mod. This mod is super simple in both its approach and function. It’s so simple, this will likely be one of the shortest blog postings I’ve written. Once the mod has been installed you’ll…
ATS Mod Review–Better AI Truck Traffic
Would you like to see other types of AI truck traffic in American Truck Simulator than the Kenworth/Peterbilt offered in game? This mod will introduce many different types of trucks to the AI fleet and provide much variety including cab-over and conventional. What is the Featured Mod and what does it do? This mod…
