    Making alot of technical stuff involving logs is gonna make a really boring game, trust me the truck ones out there now like 18wheels of steel are boring enough. Now add logs and stuff like that in there then its never gonna sell. Make a GTA style game though and people will buy it. Its a game, its meant to entertain and thats what sells.

    I didn't know there was any games out there? refer me please? link or something.

    But if you want a real life game and add some fun to it then maybe it won't be so not fun???

    Seems to me that the comment about the allready bad truckers image is valid; and a highly radical, entertaining game that's obviously untrue would do less damage to the image.
    I can see the main body of a REAL game...endless hours of staring at the road ahead, CB on or off function: when on, senseless chatter punctuated by sheer blashpemy, when off, same thing coming from a co-driver...all occasionally paused by a slow 4 wheeler cutting you off on a steep downgrade.

    Noone here played Crosscountry USA in elementary school? Google "Cross Country USA". It's an old DOS-based game.

    I have played all those games and the things I hate are, unrealistic speeds and manuvers. The things it needs are more violations for crappy driving, adjustable time clock, less predictability in game and more realizium.
