Hmm....just tried the demo....

Too much like Bus Driver for my liking, I found it to be a little boring ::)

I haven't found a decent driving game since Racedriver 3, let's hope that the Codemasters F1 game is good ;)

Just a tip... (Yes I own it)

In most states you can turn right on a red light if no one is comming, but they didn't program that into this game,

I got a ticket the first time... Haven't done it sense. ;D

This may be why:

System requirements
Windows® 98/ME/XP CD • Pentium® 4 1.4 GHz or faster • 256 MB RAM • DirectX® 9.0c (included on CD) • 64 MB 3D video card with T&L and DirectX 9.0 compliant video drivers • DirectX 9.0 compatible sound card • 540 MB free hard disk space • 8X CD-ROM drive • Mouse • Keyboard

How long has this game been out?

It's rare to find games now with support for Win '98, and no support for Vista :o

Post by: TerryRussell on July 06, 2008, 14:03:44
Try using Windows Explorer and navigating to the "setup.exe" file on the D. Right click on it and select compabability. Then select Windows XP or 2000 or even Win98. Click Ok until you run out and then double click the seup.exe file to run it.

Once it's been installed, you'd probably have to navigate to the program file and do the same thing.

Has anyone tryed american long haul? It looks good. I tryed trying the demo but as soon as it got to load up the enviornment, the demo shut down.

I am afraid to buy ALH because I dont want to have to stop at a rest stop. I really dont like that feature. I liked it better in the 1st one when you could drive as long as you want with out running out of fuel. Now, I cant even find a rest stop anywhere >:(. Is it worth buying? Agent told me that there is some way to disable the feature to be pulled over. But, I dunno :-\

Yes it is, you have to edit the truck storage file to include the name of all the trucks, and possibly edit the scs files themselves.

There is a FAQ about how to use multiple addons on that site you linked to.

About stanalone trucks:
You can add standalone trucks in 18ws Haling it possible by modifying truck_storage.sii
see Peterbilt 379 Custom by pete379jp to learn from.

Most trucks come with a truck_storage.scs just look at what they do and then add more on other lines.

Yep, that's the easiest way, although sometimes you need to take the sii files out of the addons themselves aswell to prevent a conflict.. but there is also a tutorial video on the site.. also in that same FAQ, it will show you what to do step by step.

I don't think there is..  just open the notepad screen and advance time for 8 hours or so.

You don't even have to stop or park, but you do have to advance time. So you can just do it whilst driving, and continue on at the same speed.
