high power,heavy and special transport

[j-irene]

Hi all,while they are on sale, thinking of buying heavy and special transport, my library says that I already have high power transport but I've not a clue how to access it, in simple terms can anyone explain how to use these, many thanks.

High power transport adds some additional and high-value loads that will appear in frieght market. According to the DLC description you get " seven new optional High Value cargoes: Helicopter Driller Yacht Air conditioners Tracks Gas Pipeline Parts Tractor Road Roller ". I have seen all of these in my game, though they are not all that common. Rank cargoes by Price per Mile without selecting a city and you should see them.

if you are the level to be able to transport the stuff it will show up in your jobs list . theres nothing special you need to do apart from meet requirements . Personally i prefer the larger heavier and larger loads , give a bit of challenge over the basic stuff .

High Power Cargo Pack is the oldest of the three, and as already written above adds 7 more cargoes. Those are available in Quick Jobs, Freight Market and External Contracts too, furthermore, even your hired drivers have access to those. Of a particular notice were the Helicopter and the Yacht ones, both light to carry and pretty very well paid at the time of their release anyway. Now these two are still good ones but more cargoes has been added to the base game down the way, with some paid even more than Heli or Yacht ones.

Heavy Cargo Pack adds 8 more cargoes AND two new trailers. New trailers are the true challenge, more than the weight of mew cargoes. Those are with steerable axles and will take a while before to get used to how they move on the road. Again you can find these pretty everywhere but this time your hired drivers don't have access to them, sadly.

Special Transports are for your amusement only. 11 more cargoes and one more trailer, again with steerable axles and to add on top, this time too weight is not your problem but size. This DLC introduce a different gameplay for the first time, with jobs available only in specific cities, on specific short routes, with escort vehicles that you must follow and a 60Km/h speed limit. Special Transport are furthermore limited to Quick Jobs and Freight Market, and again your hired drivers won't touch them.

Special and Heavy add many achievements too while High Power is requested together with Scandinavia for a single one, Sailor. Personally I like the new trailers a lot but Special feels like a short minigame that I won't play it again. In any case are a must have, must play ; )

PS: Special Transport are the only ones that give you the true "King of the Road" feeling : D
