Unrealistic truck & traffic speed
Is it just me or does truck speeds seem unrealistically fast? Now I know in Arizona the speed limit is 75mph, but when you look at the surroundings flying past, it seems like I'm going way faster. Is there a mod that can maybe fix this?

you don't need a mod, just go slower

It can seem fast for two reasons
1) the game scale
2) your fov

You can try changing the fov and see if that helps. Alternatively, if you're not opposed to using the game console, you can use the "warp" command to reduce the game's speed.

I have VR and it's a freaking race going over 70!

You do not need a mod, use the warp command in the developer console.

In the console write "warp 0.8" (without the ")
This will set the game speed to 80%
1.0 = 100% game speed (Normal/Default)
0.9 = 90% game speed
Etc.

I use it all the time, to me it feels more like driving a truck at warp 0.8.

You can find a guide on how to use the console here:

Edit: changed Warp to warp - sorry :-)

I just did the edits in the Config file as explained in the video, opened the console, typed Warp 0.8 and it tells me Unknown Command :/

I'm using warp 0.75 and it feels perfect for me. In ATS and ETS 2.

Nice to know i'm not the only one who likes to slow the game down a bit! (warp 0.8)

I had been playing on warp 0.7 between 2014 and 2016 and it looked natural to me at that time, then after I had a few months break from the game I returned and 0.7 seemed a little slow, so since then I play with warp 0.8 in both games.

Warp is a correction for the fish eye lens caused by the wide FOV's most of us use with a single screen, so higher FOV needs lower warp. I'll look to see if I can find it, but I think at one point SCS said that the warp 1.0 default assumes a narrow FOV. I tend to use 58 degrees and warp 0.8. Unlike proper FOV I'm not sure that there is a way to calculate proper warp.
