Management and passage on truckers 3

Third life driving,

Three centuries without sleep.

"You are not the only", the DDT group

Dawn. There are several hundred miles behind, in front of the pink mountains, and followed by the base, where I take the crabs. They are waiting for them there. And with the proceeds I can finally hire a new driver, update the suspension and buy a spitter kvass: it is now sold in any bar instead of beer. These guys simply conquered America … That's who you need to take an example!

On dusty hayvei of the distant states

The past of the series was released almost ten years ago, and almost all this time was an active development of the third part. Time, frankly, not small. And it is not spent in vain.

The new part abandoned us almost to the opposite end of the globe: in California. Moreover All landscapes In the game – real! The developers took four expeditions, drove more than ten thousand kilometers, and then painstakingly transferred everything they saw to the game. Of course, not in full size, but not very changing. The cities tried to squeeze the smaller ones, and the long participation of the road – on the contrary, so that the excessively long path would not get bored with us. But temporary proportions are fully preserved! That is, if from point A to point B, we will go in reality about 17 hours, then in the game it will take the same 17 hours. The volume of work is really impressive.

This is interesting: In total, about two thousand kilometers await us.

This step, which first caused a storm of indignation, should as a result of both domestic and foreign players. Americans will appreciate accuracy and will be able to ride in their favorite places, and we will learn a little more about mysterious USA. True, at first they are too mysterious. There is no normal card, you have to navigate by signs. The fact that they are in English interferes little, but the system of interchanges of an inexperienced player will be confused more than once. You can’t just take and turn around on the highway – you need to look for a special congress, do not drive it, do not go aside, not … in general, at first continuous torment. Then, as you learn the main routes, it will become easier. In the end, you will generally become an expert on California roads. But this does not mean that there will be no problems on the road.

Nothing affects controllability as the weather. And this is not about banal light-dark, no. The territory in the game is very extensive, and from each zone it is worth waiting for its surprises. Best, of course, when the gentle southern sun shines. But now a couple of hours passed, you drove into the depths of the mainland, and the sky was covered with clouds. Then it rained. Bad, but the order must be completed. In the mountains you will wait even greater misfortune: snow. But this is not the limit of failures. A couple of times you will fall into the “icy rain” when everything gets wet first, and then freezes and covers with a thin, but terribly slippery crust of ice. Management, already difficult, is complicated to the impossibility – at least sit in the motel! Physics in the game is reliable, so, unsuccessfully brakes on a wet slope, you run the risk of going down much faster than the plan. True, without cargo, some parts of the car and self -esteem. Moreover, the damage will also be calculated based on the fall of the fall: what they hit, it fell off. We can create anything with our car: from a torn down to the premature analysis of spare parts.

We will go to trucks soon, and while a few words about management. It is complicated. More precisely, “truckers 3” is a full -fledged simulator in which you will quickly feel the difference between good and bald rubber, powerful and not very engine, a van of horses and a beer tank. But to drive, damn it, it is also necessary according to the rules! Otherwise, evil policemen will catch up with you and fine you on a very impressive amount. The wrong oversight is punishable, but you still have to follow the situation on the road, do not go to the oncoming, do not interfere with others, not to provoke accidents … at least in the eyes of the ministers of the order.

Our second house, friend, faithful horse and pride

Truck, without exaggeration, is the main character of the game. Both for study and possibilities. The first thing that is immediately striking is a drawing. The car really looks like real.

This is interesting: If you carry a tank with anything, then in the back wings you can see perfectly what is happening from behind you, thanks to the reflection.

But it not only looks real, it also consists of such a wild number of details that any technical reference will envy. And all this diversity, from the engine to the last fastening, can break and interfere with life, which is with pleasure and does. You can delve into all car systems for a very long time for a service station and look for a breakdown. Well, or just pay a little more to the masters, although this does not guarantee the correct repair.

And at the stations you can make your car really unique. Who is the hunt to go for two days at the wheel of a rusted beaten and old truck?

This is interesting: On our continent, it is very rare to see traditional American “hooding” trucks, because the length of the road is limited by 24 meters, and in the USA – 28.

Starting with simple painting, in the future we can add many decorative details – from anti -wing to sieves. In addition to scenery, there are also useful improvements: for example, a device that automatically includes wipers when it starts rain.

Note: There are 14 trucks in total in the game.

In search of happiness

Now about a person who improves his tractor. His name is Nikolai Perepelov. He came to America to make money, first bought a small office, a truck and leaving a large amount in the account. Prepared well, you can’t say anything!

You can already hire a couple of hard workers at the initial funds (and buy them cars), and then go on flights yourself. So our transport empire will begin to develop.

This is interesting: There are more than two hundred types of goods in the game, which differ in value, fragility, weight, delivery routes and, of course, drawing.

In addition to the transportation of goods, we can take fellow travelers and participate in races. Both are better to combine with the main task, so income per unit time will increase significantly. And do not let the trends that can be found in the newspaper in the bar still. They are very well paid.

This is interesting: Be careful, picking up a fellow traveler on the road – they may turn out to be a robber! You will always be warned about this and other dangers.

Initially, we have access to bases in a pair of cities and a small range of goods. The better we will fulfill orders, the better the relationship and more profitable contracts. After you can begin to expand your influence, lengthen routes, purchase new trucks … And then the game smoothly goes to the manager. We need to hire drivers, choose cars and tasks for them, monitor competitors. You can still drive along the roads yourself, but the sense of it is noticeably smaller.

In addition to the economy, in the third part of the series, the plot finally appeared. True, it can be ignored. Although it is better not to do this, because during the plot we will acquire new friends, enemies, workers and even a beloved girl. And you also have to very closely chat with local police and mafia.

The return took place. These are all the same "truckers", but much brighter, more interesting and unusual. Trips to the Night California towns are very pacifying. Even for a moment you forget that two evil competitors hang on the tail, who must at all costs bypass in the speed of the delivery of crabs!

Verdict: Remarkably conveys the mysterious spirit of American freedom.

[[Break]]

Getting ready

The first thing to do before the game is to decide what you want: dentisting realism or complex, but still Arcades? In the first case, you should choose a view from the cab and a manual gearbox, as well as make all hot keys, of which quite a lot. In the second, select the view from above and automatic.

Note: Even with an automatic box, the reverse rate has to be turned on a separate key, and not a long press of the “brake”.

It is also worth thinking about choosing a difficulty level. The point is not only that you will have to learn the entire road atlas and drive as if you and the truck is a single organism. You will still begin to have problems with repair, refueling and the police. The value of fines and the cost of the repair will increase markedly. And it’s better not to start evacuation from the road and we’re talking about it, only having reached a hundred and finding breakdowns with your own strokes. So before the start of the game, weigh everything well.

Note: If you doubt which mode to choose, complete a couple of single orders and decide.

Start

So we are in the game. Where will we start? First of all, you should go to the office. There you need to hire at least one (or better two) car – let them work. And also, if you do not want to travel to the same places, open a representative office away from your hometown. Then we go … to the bar.

This is interesting: Game America is a slightly curious spectacle. The technique has already reached the projected holographic screens – and these are all its achievements. And a certain company captured the entire beer market and replaced the foamy drink, replacing it with its kvass, no less foam. This kvass will climb into your screen simply with wild perseverance. Spammers ..

There we choose the trend more extensively and fly to the supplier. Then take the goods and take where we need. For a long time this scheme will be our main source of income. For the first earned money, you need to improve the car: tires, suspension, engine, and also buy nitrogen oxide for especially important contracts.

Note: Always keep with you thousands of $ 20-30. You never know what awaits you on the road!

It makes no sense to change the tractor at this stage, except that the current one really offends your taste. We expand the influence zone and bring the number of drivers to 4-5 people. The plot is better to develop in parallel with this. You can take fellow travelers, but you won’t earn much on this, or you’ll lose it at all. Choose people if you really are on the way.

This is important: Look carefully at the driver's rude performance. Special scorchers need to give out only unknown goods, and even better they will show themselves in “burning” orders. Races – generally their element.

Now everything is simpler. Gradually expand and shift more and more responsibility to the shoulders of the mercenaries.

Driving secrets

There is another important parameter that we did not mention at the beginning, because it can be changed at https://sister-site.org/cocoa-casino/ any time. This is the intensity of movement. High indicators very difficult to move, but the picture looks much more lively.

So, our main enemy on the road is police officers. But we, unfortunately, can do with them only one thing: to avoid. And if we still decided to catch us, then you can do two things. Stop and pay a fine or not stop and then pay anyway in the first parking lot. If you fulfill an important order, continue moving, otherwise become.

This is important: Police love to cut you and put their cars in front of yours to force you to stop. Look, do not hit them, otherwise the amount of the fine will increase significantly.

And if the police are not visible, we can do the following cute things:

Drive on the counter. Cars on the oncoming lane of movement at the sight of a huge tractor flying on them are always scared, and then they free the strip, away from sin. And we calmly go forward and do not twitch. Thus, moving towards the stream, you can not only easily overtake the competitor who occupied our strip, but also break forward thanks to the intelligent cowardice of AI.

Riding the lawn. Helps cut off corners and turns. Especially effective when you need to make a hook along the road to arrive at the base. Having cut off on the grass in time, we will be able to tear out the victory from under the very nasal of the enemy. The danger is one, but big: skids and loss of control. Therefore, put in advance a direct route by off -road.

Reversal in the wrong place. Just save you a lot of time to search for interchanges or intersections.

Struggle. Sometimes it happens that it is necessary to be the first in the race, and competitors are not amenable to. And, even if you overtook them, still break forward. Then you can drive up to them from behind and carefully poke in front of your car on the side of the column of the adversary. This will make his trailer turn around and fly away, and if there is no cargo, then it will turn the entire truck. After that, align the course and tear the claws. Just get ready for problems with the law and a fine.

Finally, a few more tips, already more legal.

If you don't know, how to get to the point of appointment , Catch up with the favorite of the race and hold it into the tail, and before entering the base, overtake with the help of "dirty" techniques or nitrogen oxide.

Listen to the radio. It will warn you about weather whims and other dangers, and sometimes it will share an additional task (but you need to know the map very well for its implementation).

If all your competitors go to the destination point On one road , then this does not mean that it is the best. Look for your own routes!

Now you are ready for almost any situations on the so far alien roads of California. Successful game! Believe me, soon all these highways and forks will become your family. And suddenly it will come in handy someday?..
