Most realistic driving settings?

[druiz996]

I've seen those sliders that say "truck stability", "trailer stability", "suspension", "rain probability" and so on - What are the most realistic settings? The default ones seem too easy

You will get dozens of different answers. All are opinions. Just adjust the settings to what feels good for you.

I don't want it to "feel good", I want it to be a simulator - Not the hardest settings, not the most comfortable ones, just realism

Being a former driver....I personally keep truck stability and suspension sliders all the way to the left.

Trailer stability is all the way up because trailers don't really sway as much as they do in game.

Braking intensity is about 1/8th of the way up the slider. These trucks don't stop on a dime.

Rain slider is what your preference desires. I personally run this about 25% of the way up the slider.

Agreed...although SCS has said that all stability sliders should be all the way left for greatest realism, I find that my rig goes on its side at or below legal speed on interstates if trailer stability is set that way, which I don't see happening all that much IRL. Experiment, lower settings for truck and trailer stability being better, but when you start crashing during normal day to day cornering you know you've gone too far.
I love rain, so set it unnaturally high.

You do want it to feel "good" to you. You misunderstood me I think. I didn't mean easy, what I meant is what feels correct to you. This is a sim game, not a real simulator, it's never going to be perfectly realistic. You just set it up so that it seems correct to you.

I am on same train, or boat, or truck, that full left is not real. Trucks would be very dangerous to drive then IRL. Full left might be realistic if there were no miniaturized roller coaster roads, but even then I doubt it.
