    how did you get 100% on Luxembourg? I'm stuck on 97.7% there for some reason... :confused:

    i got 100% very easily,maybe check if you drove onto the (i don't know it in english sorry), the emoji might have fully covered the parking on the map and you can't see if you were on it already. i had this alot of times in many cities

    I don’t know much about SCS, but is there any reason why we don’t have Andorra and Monaco in ETS? I would certainly enjoy it.

    What do you think of the Renault Trucks E-Tech T? I think that's a bit weird.
    Firstly, the "Energy Regenerated" on the screen is FAKE, it's just a FIXED PERCENTAGE of "Energy Consumed". When you regen, BOTH of them go down. Secondly, the shiftlogic is unchanged, making the gearbox kick down and skip gears when hitting the accelerator pedal.

    I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m glad to see new trucks coming out in ETS
    As for the issues you mentioned, I think of the truck as in Beta, so new features will come in next updates.

    Speaking of next update, there’s something I’d like to see: After it rains, the roads should remain wet for maybe an hour. That improves the game’s overall realism.

    It's much more than that. The electric truck also exposed the flaw of ETS2's (and probably ATS') physics engine.

    The throttle/brake lag is written into the physics engine, not for the characteristics of the truck. If you hit the gas or the brake, realistically the truck will take a while to react, this is due to the turbo lag and air brakes lag. However, in ETS2 if you shift into Neutral during acceleration, the truck still accelerates for a few km/h before coasting, this is very unrealistic as disconnecting the drivetrain means the power to the wheels and the resultant acceleration is immediately lost. In the E-Tech T, if you shift into 1st gear manually, the top speed is about 9 to 10-ish km/h. However if you accelerate from a standstill it'll reach 16 to 17km/h before gradually coasting down.

    Personally I found that this breaks the immersion too much and it's my No.1 dissatisfaction of the game

    That makes sense. Hopefully updates will come soon. As for now, I'm sticking with my DAFs and Mercedes'.

    Has anyone ever hauled ammunition before? I’m trying to haul all cargo in the game but I can’t find it in the markets. Are they not doing it because of the Russian war? I also have the necessary ADR skill unlocked.
