Freightliner Cascadia 2022 edition

[remomassimorita.maccaferri]

I'm trying the new Freightliner Cascadia with the digital dashboard ..... WOW, much better than an Escalade!!!
As in The Moody Blues song, "... so fine, so good....".
Tks a lot Freightliner and..... SCS too!

I do like the new Cascadia, but mainly just because of the digital dash. I've noticed the visibility out of it is kinda eh. I've adjusted my seat position so many times, but I just cant seem to see well out of it. I cant wait til we see the next gen T680 with its digital dash!

Hi brahag8901,
Strange, with the Freightliner steering wheel and the seat positioned by default, I see the digital dashboard very well

It's not necessarily the dash and all that. It all looks very good. I just have a difficult time seeing out of the mirrors without having to constantly rotate the camera. I've tried adjusting my seat, but I can't really get it into a position I like. Plus, the dash covers up about half the hood mirror, so its pretty much pointless. I'll just stick to my T680 for now. I can see all my mirrors perfectly fine and have perfect visibility out of the truck :)

OK, OK... now I understand! Excuse me but I have some problems with English, but now I understand you.
Yes it is the same for me and for other "drivers" too because the problem is inside the program and this problem is not for Cascadia only, ALL early time production (MACK and so on...) have this incomprehensible defect. About this was much better old trucks!
To overcome this situation I use the interior vision of the rear-view mirrors (F2), it is not realistic, but much more comfortable.

Thing is: That is actually like it is in the real truck. The mirrors are that way in these trucks IRL (SCS wouldn't even be releasing them as the manufacturer wouldn't have allowed that if it weren't like that in reality).

It may be, but this is a game, not reality. To move eyes or head is a thing, to move the camera is a break of....... :-)))))

Well, SCS has to model it after the real truck as this is the requirement for the manufacturer to approve of it so that SCS can get it in the game. That is all part of the licencing process.

Yeah that's all understandable. Maybe if I had TrackIR or something it would make it a little better. I just hate having to constantly move the camera around ALL the time lol

if you have a web cam you can head track for free with opentrack,
