Today, i tried this sim and.........oh my god, all in this game
is great:
The physics (very close to GPL), the 3D model, the textures, .....
What do you think of this sim ??
It's weird that all the best physics are in the "***s" games:
GPL, Mercedes Truck, GP 500, Nascar 4.
I love Rally and F1 but none of the rally and F1 games have
such good physics.

MBTR is good until a certain point.

If you drive a truck on the limit it shows a bit arcadey-kindda physics
sometimes.

Since the point of racing sims is to be on the limit, I don't see your
point?  I see nothing but great simulation, on top of a game engine that is
second only to the one by Papyrus.  Almost every aspect of it is top-notch.
What you call "arcadey-kindda" is simply limitation of a game engine, but
it's anything BUT arcade.  It's just it's limitation, which even in it's
limitation is superior to 100% of the arcade games, and a vast majority of
racing sims.

Wanted to add that track modelling is quite bad.

You never get the impression that you actually drive an a wide track,  more
on a small road,

Maybe because trucks are a "little"!?! wider, longer and higher. (ok,
ok they are a LOT BIGGER) then an F1 or a Sports Car :-)

A friend of mine guive me a ride some time ago in one of those big rig
and let me say that you see the road from quite another perspective
from the seat of those monster.

Since I have the luck to make MANY laps in racetrucks i can tell you the
track is VERY narrow when you start to hear the squealing of the tires, not
to mention coming into the first chicane in Most with Albacete on the
outside....
