18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul

[beefers1]

what does the voice-command thing do anyway, besides tell you about weather and traffic (which is not very accurate anyway)?

i did hear Winnipeg gets very cold in the winter. but since so many people live there without complaining, I guess it's not too bad.

i went up tp a truck and they didnt talk back

[dm01]

The CB is only accurate to four miles ahead. I mainly use the CB for weather, and my eyes for traffic.

Not all trucks are transmitting.

[kturner12]

Oh well i never get a reply back

[dm01]

Maybe your sound files aren't all there. Try a "repair" install (NOT a full re-install yet).

IF this does not work, try un-installing and re-installing ALH (after moving your saved games to a safe location, of course).

[kturner12]

[kturner12]

I found an easier way. All you have to do is get the tires of the rear trailer close to the back of the red unloading dock. You could have the truck and trailers at any angle in or out of the red dock, but as long as the tires of the rear trailer are in the back of the dock, the press T box should appear.

@Freightshaker you're playing on Easy, right? There's a reason they call it that.

@beefers1 You have to detach the second trailer, drive off a bit until you hear the money sound, then go back to the box and detach the second one.

I just delivered a double of Oats from Vancouver to Montreal (that was fun)

[beefers1]

do you mean, you can split the double into two short singles? how do you do that?

[dm01]

No idea, it just happened. I'll look in the manual and see if I can re-create the event.

[beefers1]

well, i know that if you bend the joint hard enough you can snap it, but then that'll badly damage the trailer.

hi has any one had this problem before and know how to fix it when i start the game and the main menu shows up i cannot see the truck spinning around all i see is a backround pic of a road and also when im playing the game and i go into notebook and select manage trucks i cannot see the trucks im driving the pic is not there and its the same for the trailers two as for everything else the game works perfect no freezing or anything

[dm01]

Sounds like some kind of major graphics glitch. Are you sure your computer meets or exceeds the recommended system requirements?

Have you tried re-installing DirectX?

How do u download music to ur radio? PLZZZZZ someone help me

[dm01]

You need a file converter that can convert mp3 (or whatever format your music is in) to OGG. Put the OGG files in ..\My Documents\18 WoS American Long Haul\music\. Enjoy.
