Game Slower than ATS?
Why does it seem like that this game is slower than ATS? I'm not talking about slow and choppy graphics....I'm talking about speed wise. I'm doing the 50 mph....and on my spedometer it says 80. But to me it just feels like along with the choppy and slow graphics that the game goes by very slowly.
Any ideas or tips on how to fix that?

Different map/time scale.

What are you talking about? Oh and btw, I'm not using any mods.

Max speed on most of the map in ETS2 is 80kph/50mph. Max speed in ATS varries in the range of 104-128kph/65-80mph.

Oh I'm sorry...I'm not talking about speed as in how fast the speed limit is. I'm talking about that 50 doesn't seem like I'm doing 50. It seems like I'm doing 20.

Sitting in front of steering axel also think Euro trucks sit little higher.

To me speeds initially felt faster to me in ETS2 due to narrower winding roads, some very narrow on ramps, and shorter wheelbase noseless trucks that I had to develop reference points for to tell when I was in my lane. Although, the country roads with 60 km/h limits seemed like a rather relaxed speed, especially when I realized that was only 37 mph. I knew how to take turns sitting on top of the front wheels from driving a 1964 Econoline window van many years ago. http://www.falconclub.com/reference/64-econoline.html

Once I realized that I was not using the wheel settings that I had developed in ATS and set it the same, and with more experience, higher speeds in ETS2 were more relaxed. Still the states have wider straigher roads and longer wheelbase trucks, so 90 km/h feels faster than leisurely cruising at 55 mph in California and if you want to you can cruise at 75-80 mph (129 km/h) on some roads in Arizona and Nevada [limited to 65 mph (105 kb/h) for external contracts].

Yeah, why does it feel like we have to drive slowly on these roads? Why can't we go as fast as 80mph?

You can do that if you disable your limiter. But I bet you will crash. If not that, you will rack up fines.

Question: Are you confusing miles and kilometers?

I don't think I have limiter enabled....but no..in the game it says we're doing 50km....but I have my settings for MPH. So I don't know...but on my spedometer it reads that I'm doing 80...I guess mph....all I'm trying to really initially point out is that it just feels like the jobs take a lot longer to finish....what should only be an hour job is turning out to be 2 or 3 hours.
Sorry to be so confusing.

Your GPS is displaying 50 MPH, as per your settings. Your speedometer is displaying 80 KPH, since European trucks are set in metric. 50mph = 80kph

That's what I was getting at in my previous post. It feels slower because you are actually driving slower. The highest speed limit in ETS2 is in the UK at 60mph/97kph which is just over the LOWEST speed limit in ATS of 55mph/88kph.

Right...but then there are at most times, choppy graphics....
