Speed. Long loads. Motorways (Autobahns, Autoroutes etc.). Fences to crash into ‘by mistake’. They’re all in Real Trucker LM 3D
It’s the closest you’ll get to a PC trucking simulator, or even real life!
The Game
You start with 5000 monies (after you have bought a truck), are transported to Turkey and drive around between Istanbul, Polatli, and Edirne, delivering loads of fuel, food, logs or whatever the people want. You start with the lowest truck, averaging about 100km/h without a load and about 80km/h with and work your way up to one that does 120km/h without and about 5km/h less with a load. Progress is slow (though it’s easy to cheat, simple file editing does the job), and you even have to pay for fuel! When you get your task, you actually have to reverse around to get your load, and then when you get to your destination, you have to stop, and uncouple (much easier to stop).
There are a few camera angles too, including a in-cab view for proper driving, which uses a rear view mirror when reversing and a back-of-cab view, for when reversing to get your load.
Pros
The game is well rendered, with roads and 3D buildings, bridges and tunnels, and even a major suspension bridge.
Fairly realistic. You have to couple and park your trailer and stop for fuel, but you don’t have to pay for damage or such like.
Free! Nothing in the game costs any money at all, not even any in app purchases (which to be honest would be quite nice)
It’s a big world, you can drive around for quite a while collecting and delivering
Game effects like headlights, tire tracks and exhaust smoke
Cons
There’s a few glitches, which can be expected, and I don’t think your cab would spin around 3 times clearly when hitting a small wooden fence
Controls take a while to get used to. There’s no accelerometer steering, which would be a put-off for many people, but you can and will get used to the controls
For some unknown reason, the major “motorway” doesn’t do a complete ring, but stops at two junctions in the middle of nowhere. Maybe there could be at least a secondary route added with a small bridge or tunnel from Edirne to the pointless location below it on the map?
