Finally gotten the hang of B-double reverse parking
After some effort, I managed to unlock 'Where do you want it?', by changing the config. Now double trailer parking, is way more fun than *yawn* drive straight into this spot. Fun, but also challenging.
At a Norfood, I spent a little under 7 minutes, reverse parking around a bend, and getting the truck with trailers inside the marked area, completely, or almost completely straight.

I turned right from the road, continued turning right into the parking lot. Then I started reversing towards the marked area, which is where the truck in the image is standing. I'm surprised that I even managed this in the first place, cause reversing in that small area is not exactly easy, not with a double trailer.
Image text is a little braggy, but when you manage to do something difficult, you have some bragging rights. Right?

Well done. :successchip:
And yes, sometimes you can feel that you have done a difficult task so well that you feel proud of it and want to brag a little about it to others. :)

You did not make a video of it, did you?
From such a video one can learn from your maneuvers how to do it, also maybe also what not to do. :)

I did make a recording, and here it is:
https://youtu.be/JnNZSA3OZc0

The recording is for my new channel, where videos will solely contain gameplay recordings.
My old one hasn't seen an upload in years, and never had a clear focus. So I made a new channel, with a creative original name, Sir Lock Curvebrain. My image is an old fashioned padlock with a monocle and mustache. Came up with it like this; Sherlock, Sirlock, Sir Lock.

Like share and subscribe! Or not, I'm not the boss of you. I'm not trying to build up anything, just sharing good old fashioned gameplay, for those who care to watch. There's already enough people building brands. Plus I'm a bit lazy, and wanna keep it simple.

Very nicely done, and many thanks for the video. :steamthumbsup: :)
I do not know about others, but I learned a few things there .. I hope. :)

For such a video, I would like the game to give the opportunity to play from the driver's seat in the cabin, and that invisibly in the background a review video is recorded showing the situation from the outside, which you can then see afterwards.
Can you handle it from the cabin too?

G.S.90s.
Just watched your video. Lot's of patience.
Again well done.

I still can't do this, I get the theory, I just can't pull it off in practice.

This instructional video should help in understanding what happens, it helped me.

And this ETS2 video by someone named Wuxter, with cabin and outside perspective, is a how to reverse a B double, and it is the same delivery layout.

And this playlist, is a whole bunch of instructional videos, all from the same uploader. Videos are from an above perspective, and colored lines are used as a visualization tool. I just found it, so I'm not sure if it is animations made for instruction, or if it's a sort of game. Channel name is My Trucking Skills, with a name like that, you know it's good! Seriously, it's great!

Another instructional video, and I really recommend watching it. You get a bit of history, with tips and tricks, on how to reverse double trailers.

If you like RC, then this might be fun to watch.

A general tip, just do a lot of quick jobs with the type of trailer you wish to handle better.

There's one video that could help a lot with reversing, as it tells you what to look for. The video uses gameplay from American Truck simulator, but the same principles still apply.

Genius! In short, just look at the beast in the eye and say to it
"Imma eat ya"
Then practice practice practice.

Cool vids, learned a lot too. Cheers and thanks for sharing!
