2 Euro Truck Simulator MANUAL
Getting Started
Starting Euro Truck Simulator
1. Start by:
a. Clicking on the "Euro Truck Simulator" icon on your desktop, or
b. Going to your programs menu and selecting to play Euro Truck Simulator,
the default path should be "Start" -> "Programs" -> "Euro Truck
Simulator" -> "Play Euro Truck Simulator".
2. A configuration window should appear. Just click on the "Start!" button to
continue.
3. Euro Truck Simulator now starts and the main menu appears, select "New
Game".
4. Select the country that you would like to start in and wait for the game to
load.
5. Choose and buy your first truck, use the left and right arrows in the lower bar
of the screen to view the trucks for sale.
(Don't worry if you cannot afford to buy the vehicle you like — your initial
capital will only allow you to buy the lowest class of trucks. You will get the
chance to buy better trucks later - once you have earned more money.)
6. You will find yourself outside the truck dealer sitting at the wheel of your
sparkling new truck. An on-screen tutorial will then explain how to drive your
vehicle and where to go to get your first job!
