Välja on tulnud järg 18 WoS seeriale - 18 Wheels Of Steel Haulin'.
Panin just peale ning uninstallida ei taha seda kunagi - liiga hea ja täiuslik. Kellele meeldis PttM, meeldib ka Haulin'.

Review TruckPol foorumist:

In Fall 2004, SCS Software released Pedal to the Metal. Despite its bugs (most notably the steering,) it was and still is loved by fans for its ease of moddability...

Fast forward one year. SCS Software overhauled the game engine, changed many game mechanics, and built a totally new map; however, due to the time restrictions of the publisher, they just didn't seem to get it together in Fall 2005, when Convoy was released. Most all of us remember the way it was, insults flying, members getting banned, the reopening of the Revolution Room just to vent. Thankfully those days are behind us.

Now a year later, SCS Software has brought us Haulin'. I just received my copy today, and after hours of play, I am happy to say that Fall 05' will not be repeated. Now for the review.

The first thing that you will notice once you get into the game is that the arcade-style menus are gone, along with the blue pop up windows. Fueling, customs checks, and the like are done in the familiar PTTM style (pull up to the pump, and hold enter; the annoying loading bars for fueling are gone ) The map is basically a reworked edition of Convoy's map. The 2 lane Interstates are gone, along with the red light interchanges, I drove from San Francisco to Montreal (over a real life hour) and never saw a red light:sweetness ;D .

The PTTM style truck upgrades are back as well, with many different engines, transmissions, etc. to enhance your truck's performance. One VERY notable upgrade available allows you to cruise through the scale-houses with your weight checked on-the-fly as some trucks have in real life.

Sleeping has returned, but in a different incarnation for those playing on easy difficulty; your screen no longer goes black, allowing you to drive as long as you want, but if you are pulled over, you will be fined for an hours of operation violation. Medium and Hard modes still feature the "black screen." However, a glitch allows you to sleep on the fly, using the "advance time" button in the notebook. They make you turn your engine off to refuel, but overlook this. Thats fine by me, the yawning sound gets old.

Convoy's style of police have returned, and let me tell you now; you don't mess with these guys. One good rampage can set you back 50,000 big ones, you won't outrun them either... This time around, you can't fly through the red lights, in fact, you can't even roll past the white line or your wanted meter maxes out and the smokies come running. Get ready to do a lot of stopping on the side of the road and waiting for the meter to drop, advancing time doesn't work either. It gets old fast, especially seeing as you can't turn the police off. Realistic? Yes, but sometimes gameplay>realism.

The amount of traffic you will encounter is INCREDIBLE. Starting in Los Angeles, I pulled onto I-5 and was in awe. "WOW, this is JUST like real life LA!" All 6 lanes filled to the max, bumper to bumper at 30 mph the whole way through. But... This is great, realistic fun for urban driving, but the heavy traffic mostly persists even on rural stretches of highway, forcing you to either be on guard the entire way, or just drive on the shoulder, since the AI's annoying habit of brake checking you is back.

Truck handling is good, you can't expect to stop on a dime, or turn like a car, but acceleration is a bit high. This is fine, I much prefer this over the original 18WOS where it took 3-4 real life minutes to get up to highway speed.

The Prism3D engine has been reworked once more and is MUCH less temperamental than it was in Convoy. My PC, which is far from a low end system regularly had FPS drops, and overheat warnings while playing Convoy. But in Haulin, it runs smooth as glass, no overheats. Only once did my FPS drop at any noticeable level. Great job SCS. ;D

All in all, the problems of Convoy were well addressed by Pavel and the rest of the SCS team. The arcade feeling is mostly gone. A patch or two to fix a few map errors and perhaps change the traffic a bit and the game will be almost perfect. Definitely pick this one up.

[Zoig]

kas sellel kuidagi rekka välimust ka muuta saab, või ainult mootorit, käimakasti jne?
PTTM-s sai minumeelest ka teisi lisavidinaid osta, conwoys pole ma seda võimalust veel leidnud

[flameas]

Zoig, ei saa.
Mäng on jällegi täielik pettumus, selle kirumise pärast visati mind truckpoli foorumist välja
5 sisemust ainult, convoys oli 2. Edasiminek missugune Samas pttm oli kõigil veokitel eraldi sisemus.
Mage mäng üldiselt, 2 realisi teid ei ole eriti, teised veoki juhid sõidavad liiga kiiresti. Peab olema 600hp mootor et järgi jõuda
Lisaks veel kahtlane juhitavus

[Karr000]

flameas, otsi natukene erinevatelt saitidelt ja leiad modi, mis annab igale rekkale eraldi interior-i
Minu arust sõidavad teised rekkajuhid just natuke aeglaselt. 2-realisi teid leiad mägedes liigagi palju.

[flameas]

Kindel, et selline mod olemas? Olen kuulnud sellisest, mis muudab õigeks interjoorid.
http://home.deds.nl/~equality/haulin_interor_mod.rar Seda mõtleD?
Minu teada ei saa haulini interjoore ümber teha, nagu PTTMis sai

[Winterwind]

ma juba kujutan ette kuidas see mäng 3/10 erinevates mängusaitides saab..
huvitav miks keegi mingit normi mängu ei tee?

[Andre9971]

Kuulge, tegelt see on hea mäng. mul küll hetkel halb mängida, sest CRT vingub kguaeg, aga mul oli see mäng ka Läpparis.

[time123]

Rekka välimust saab küll muuta. Värvi näiteks..

Mul on selline küsimus, et kui hakkab seda silti klõpsima, et juht on väsinud ning jää seisma, siis kui ma seisma jään, klõpsib seda silti edasi. Peab igakord siis hotelli minema?

[Viper357]

[Mihkel.]

[Nokia]

Manuaaliga saab jah päris palju sisse, ma sain midagi üle 110 esimese rekaga, muidugi olid jupid ka vahetatud, nüüd sõidan mingi uue rekaga ja sellega on 120+, Keegi oskab öelda mida need teised seierid seal teevad, nad muutuvad ka õieti või lampi? Mõtlen peale temp-i, fueli, air ja muidugi tahoka ja spidomeetri.

[Dominus]

on need 18 wheels of seeriad paremad kui Rig & Roll 2 ?

[RKsilver]

[VinZe]

Sõbra juures proovisin ja võtan ise ka seda, algne arvamus hea, paar moddi juurde ja läheb paremaks

[MorRAW]

[Dominus]

MorroW, ei ole,täiesti olemas on.
Rig & Roll 3 aretatakse (USA ehtsad tänavad etc.)

[MorRAW]

Hmm...krt, siis ajan Rig & Rolli millegagi segi

Õhtul kodus vaatan üle, mis mängu ma silmas pidasin.

[Karr000]

MorroW, tean mis mängu mõtled, kuid nimi ei tule meelde. Mingi Vene mäng vist, hea graafika ja võimalus juhiga autost väljuda jms.

[MorRAW]

Karr000, nope...ajasin segi hoopis "Rigs of Rods"iga.

http://rigsofrods.blogspot.com/

My bad

[ruratt]

Ehh? mis rig'n'rollist te siin räägite? Hard trucki mõtlete äkki?
http://rignroll.com/

[Karr000]

ruratt, seda mängu mõtlesin mina ka Rig-n-Roll-i all. Ja väljas see küll ei ole, Dominus

[Andre9971]

aga see on ikkagi neist Hard Trucki seeriatest uuim? ma leidsin mingi apocalypse kohata midagi, pole veel googlisse jõudnud, ja Hard truck apocalypset sisse trükkinud

[MorRAW]

Andre9971, apocalypse on teine teema...et mis tulevikus juhtub jms.

Haulin on muidu kõige uuem jah.

[Dominus]

Karr000, võibolla ongi see Hard Truck 2 see Rig & Roll 2 mida ma mõtlen.
Kuna desktopil on mul ikoon nimega Rig & Roll 2. (venekeelne mäng btw)
Aga tegijad on nendel mängudel ikka samad : SoftLab NsK ning publisher 1C.ru vms. (uuel,Rig & Roll 3'l vms. on muidu graafika ning USA tänavad)

Igatahes selle Hard truck 2 juures meeldis väga mootori jms. modimine ning salajased teed,mida mööda sai kaupa kiiremini kohale vedada nagu näiteks. need mahajäetud kaevandused,kuigi sellega kaasnes ka riske(bensiin,auto/kauba kahjustamine liigsete manööverdamiste korral).
Kui keegi kommenteeriks kas 18 wheels of steel haulin kah miskit sarnast või huvitavamat on siis oleks tore

[time123]

18 wheels of steel haulin on päris igav.. lihtsalt viid kauba kohale, vahepeal võtad bensiini, saad politseilt trahvi ja magad hotellis.
