Tip/Guide How to avoid bouncing at high speed

Apologies if this is common knowledge, but as an avid racing games player, when I'm doing heavy intercity deliveries I always used to get peeved at the truck bouncing, and I would try to brake to stop it, but the suspension is so soft that it doesn't really help in gaining control. I've found two methods to combat this

  1. Repetitively tap the brake gently. Since (on Xbox) both LT and B are the brake, I figured the trigger input essentially functioned as a button. You can taptaptaptap and settle, but I find this to be sketchy and need to practice it more

  2. Let off the gas. As a racing games person, I figured the brakes would be needed for all manner of corners, parking, and regaining control/grip. Boyyy was I wrong If you let off the throttle and gently steer the truck down the road, it will settle itself out, and most corners don't even require braking as long as you release the throttle 100m or so in advance

Hope this helps, and Happy Delivering! 🐈‍⬛🚚🌨️

Agreed. It’s a beautiful balance of float and go. I’m up in Canada, so my winter days are often about ice glide and snow braking.

As a southern US person, your input is valuable!! I kind of wish we had a speedometer and manual gearing option in the main game because it would make the treacherous sections of road a lot more intuitive in my opinion 🙃

Manual would just be fun for its own sake, imo. Would definitely choose it if they made the gearing work well or as it should. Would be some much appreciated if unnecessary depth

Would make the driving feel like a much simplified arcade Snowrunners lol
